Stay out of my country (Netherlands) - we have “boerenkool stamppot” - baked bacon cubes, a (typically) Unox sausage, mashed potatoes, and a fuck-ton of kale. Could add some cubes of goat or Edammer cheese, maybe replace the Unox with something similar (and better quality). Maybe add some gravy, mustard and/or pickled cucumber.

Some of the best winter-foods there is, IMO.

Kale, licorice

Are you Dutch, perchance?

I’m team automation, BTW. No need to create a new underclass of brown people.

Enabling mass-migration into rich countries just means brown people will become the new underclass, enabling just more racism.

we always need a machine to do it.

That’s the point. Recognizing a car; stairs; busses; motorcycles; stoplights; we used to be the only ones who were able to do this, but now LLMs can likely do them better and faster than we can.

But QR codes have always been deciphered by machines, so how would me using a machine to scan the QR prove my humanity? It just shows there’s a phone with my ID on it. It’s just 2FA, not are-you-human.

there are plenty of opensource markdown editors.

Like vscode, and neovim.

Just use the thinking model, which severely reduces hallucinations. Only silly people use the instant model to mock a tool for doing what it does.

This isn’t the thinking version, which is a LOT better than the instant model. I don’t use the instant version any more, due to hallucinations.

Vet certain versions of packages, and use those whenever you can, also for subdependencies. Effectively create ‘stable’ versions of packages that are guaranteed safe to use.

Yes, it’ll be a ton of extra work, but that’s the price for security.

Ignorant fecker probably didn’t know about sweet corn and though that cows are fed sweet corn or that has was being given regular corn 😂

Canonical should have a look at https://antithesis.com/ - They’ll basically run your application in a deterministic VM, where hardware errors are simulated, so you can re-play certain scenarios, not just the happy-path. It should be able to surface bugs way faster than just running into them.

Deterministic simulation testing is what they should be doing.

Note: These are some guys from FoundationDB, if that means something to you.

I used it back at version 0.0.23 (around September 2025), and I just noticed I burned through a LOT of tokens, with relatively little work being done.

SOTA (state of the art) LLMs are now smart enough you can just ask it to track ADRs (Architect Decision Records - track why you did the things you did, architecture-wise).

I don’t see much worth in them any more, unless you’re using a local model that would still need speckit as a framework.

Aw, dang it! Nevermind…

Me giving away the food I had planned for my friends and family.

Basic decency does not require radical self-sacrifice or the erasure of loyalties.

The origin of the word “nation” refers to the ethnicity (a folk, if you will) of the people that live in a land. No nation, no people. Example: The Roma, for example, are a nation without a country.

Now, to take pride in a thing means to regard it as good, worthy, admirable.

To take pride in one’s nation simply means to recognize the good, and to value, preserve, defend, and contribute to it. It means regarding one’s people, heritage, and public order as worthy of loyalty, care, and continuation. It does not require the claim that one’s nation is perfect, nor that it is superior to all others.

Nationalism becomes problematic as soon as loyalty to one’s own people or country becomes more important than truth, justice, and proportion. I think that there is where the issue truly lies.

TL;DR: There is nothing wrong in recognizing the good your nation does, and recognize that another nation may be incompatible with yours in certain parts is OK. “Abusus non tollit usum” - Cicero (I think?): “abuse does not cancel use”, or “misuse of something is no argument against its proper use”.

If those families are not my friends, why should I care? I had the foresight to see the bread shortage coming, I paid for the bread with my own money. I don’t see why I should give away the things I’ve spent time and energy on. Not my issue they are dumb.
