How about Liz Truss and shelf life of lettuce
When I worked at Claris (Apple spinout led by CEO Bill Campbell), new employees were encouraged to sit at help desks for a while first. That way whenever we made a design feature the question was ALWAYS asked - how many tech support calls will that decision generate. We know the cost of tech support. 4 calls and we had lost our margin on the product.
I haven't had a toy this fun since Lego Mindstorms. Mindblowingly clever and so much fun...

Just came across a lovely #QuartoPub website by Carl Goodwin (he’s not, as far as I can see, on social media). Good #rstats content, super artwork. The homepage image switch between light and dark modes is glorious. https://www.quantumjitter.com
Deleting a bunch of contacts in my address book that have passed away. I'm getting older...😭

At the end of World War II the Nazis burned an Austrian castle full of masterpieces, including three paintings by Gustav Klimt entitled Philosophy, Medicine, and Jurisprudence. Until now, they were preserved for posterity only in black and white photographs.
Reconstructed in colour, they are now on display in an online gallery of 130 paintings, plus a virtual exhibition of 63 of the artist’s works, all brought together by Google Arts & Culture.

Puzzle 8 was a little butt-kicker to make simple and correct. Nice.

Germany stopped a coup before it happened. Peru didn't let their President's attempt get off the ground. The coup leader of this nation is running for President.

Yeah... I found out the hard way that modulo arithmetic isn't implemented correctly in js. One of many many swearing moments.

I just completed "Calorie Counting" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2022 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2022/day/1
Done with #Rstats. Nothing too fancy.
Been working on the Yale course on Quixote. What an education.
And a delightful 500 year old commentary on today's world.
@ScottEdelman Sent to my daughter, who draws news flash sheets for her tattoo shop every week.....

I've often explained why immature writer me left comics by saying I needed to because my fiction had begun to develop the same style I used when writing Bullpen Bulletins Pages, but no one laid out my fears better than Robert Graves in his poem "Epitaph on an Unfortunate Artist."

I'm thrilled to announce that #quarto's v1.2 is now a stable release.
If I counted right, there's around 150 bugfixes and additions since we released 1.1 on Aug 26th. Give it a spin! We'd love to hear from you: https://quarto.org/docs/download/
Lots of *very cool* features coming up on v1.3. I can't wait to tell you about them when they land!
@groundhog0202 That is a FABULOUS book. I really enjoyed it.
