If you use tethering, @tripmodeCH could save you much $€, probably pay for its $8 cost many times over.

I wonder if there are vending machines that dynamically adjust pricing — and if not, why not.

Word of the month at my current gig: “productionalize”.

TIL that for years I’ve been referring to POTS when I meant PSTN. So now I know: when we dial phone numbers we’re using PSTN.

The first few episodes were a bit slow, but I stuck with it and wow, the Daredevil series on Netflix really delivers. Powerful.

Force Awakens is fantastic. Don’t miss it!

Wow, @DevDocs is super cool — offline programming references in the browser! Sort-of like a Web-based Dash. Free and libre! Nice work @tibc!

Current project involves Python scripts; Node.js modules running in AWS λ; API Gateway; OCaml programs; bash scripts; Terraform; RAML… whew!

I’ve got a lot of feelings this morning about China, injustice, Israel, human rights, and anti-Semitism: aviflax.com/post/joy-horro…

Joy + Horror + Frustration
I’m feeling joy for the ~13MM Chinese shadow people who will finally be granted citizenship, but also horror at the magnitude of the injustice perpetrated by China’s leaders against these people. And also frustration that some people who care about human rights focus so much more on the situation of the Arabs of the West Bank than other larger injustices around the world. I also yearn deeply to root out injustice, but singling out Israel’s actions to a degree out of proportion to their scope is just anti-Semitism masked in righteous rhetoric.

Swift on Linux servers is likely to be big. It has a lot going for it, few blockers, strong momentum, and its design hits a sweet spot.
