I thought I had seen all the good flat earth memes by now but this one is a masterpiece of the form
Just found out that one of the guys behind Mehran’s Steak House is a former Middlebury student I coached on entrepreneurship 🤯
My 2 year old was grunting in his chair at dinner, so my wife asked what was going on, and he says “mom, I want to un-fart it”
I just got a 7 year old C++ codebase (4.2GB compiled + another few hundred MB of source-compiled dependencies) running on Aarch64 for the first time (previously only x86_64) AND a new compiler: only about 20 lines of code actually changed in 3 functions (one of which was copy-pasted from another)

Important tech tip for Slack users not sold on the new "design"
If you hard-refresh Slack Command-Shift-R, and then type Command-Shift-S, you get an extra vertical sidebar that disaggregates your individual slacks.
Thanks to @snarkout who has improved my life for the better, this day.
Hahahaha holy shit max* config M2 Max MBP is a beast
*on everything but storage, not gonna pay the Apple tax on 8TBs of SSD
My 2 year old saying “I’m closing all the doors in case no one can escape” is very cute and shows he has been paying attention to our instructions about keeping the cats inside but is also 100% a seen from a horror movie someone hasn’t written yet
working on budgeting like "NUMBER GO DOWN"
Well hot damn that was a Star War and a half.
And last week everyone was complaining #Ahsoka was too slow
Glad to report everyone’s favorite green space mom is still space momming
Me: “can you hand me the salad bowl”
Wife: “yes”
*long awkward pause*
Me: “WILL you hand me the salad bowl?”

I probably could have been more eloquent at expressing this. I was also having a lot of feelings and just wanted to quickly get those feelings into words before going to sleep.
I assume for some reason this led to folks digging into my past and finding the post about the NSA interview which mentioned a fun math puzzle. I maintain that this was the coolest interview question I ever had to answer, even though I'm also glad I didn't go work for the NSA. My research in undergraduate was in elliptic curve cryptology, and pretty much everyone around me interviewed with or went to work for the NSA; among math majors at Maryland in the pre-Snowden days, this was considered a prestigious and honorable thing to do. That sounds incredibly weird to me in retrospect, but it's also true.
