Especially since they technically exploited a bug in my own code.

Yeah that's called an intrusion, hackers do that and it's illegal. If you accidentaly leave you house door unlocked is it your fault if someone trashes your house?

Report them, no damage was done and it's a relatively minor thing so I wouldn't expect grave consequences, but maybe this person will be more more responsible in the future.

We sometimes think of our memory as an hard drive we can read files from with an index, that's really not true, our memory resembles Content-Addressible Memory, where the data itself (of at least something similar to) is the key to unlock the data. You recall a piece of memory only when you are epxeriencing something similar. This also explain the "unlocked memories" of things you did in the past you completely forget until you find an object related to it.

The mind is fucking weird.

I use third party launchers, but that's not the point, very few apps support them because google (and consequently Android) stopped caring. Of course, it might just be corporates being corporates, but I just don't see why google doesn't want them

Stumbled upon Jeremy Clarkson biking in a European capital. We instinctively approached him to just confirm if he was us, and he politely asked to not bother him because he was on holidays. We felt a little bad and of course left him alone. It must be a little sad to be famous and be recognized everywhere

They both (Picard more than Discovery) used a nostalgia checkpoint to connect to previous media, rather than expanding those themes in meaningful ways.

Even android stopped supporting shaped icons to feel like apple where you only have stupid rounded squares. Thank you overlord google for plain boring corporatism when you could have chosen interesting thing you already did

NCIS Los Angeles is the silliest show I enjoyed watching for quite some year. The finale was surprisingly decent and emotionally a little touching. It's a very self-aware show and, if not taken too seriously, can be good fun

Who the hell thinks "tomorrow I'm going in jail, better update my linkedin profile so everyone knows"

There are pros and cons to both.

On one hand commuting, even on a flexible schedule, helps building a routine and the clear separation is mentally positive and helps focus.

On the other hand, some days I really need to stay home and work in my pajamas, with fewer interactions as possible, especially when it's really cold or really hot. In those days an in-presence work day would be 10% productive, at least remotely in my safe environment it can get 20%.

The best possible solution is flexible: try and be in presence whenever possible, but know that you have the option to go remote when in need. The best of both worlds. Unfortunately yes, it's not always possible when the job requires some hardware.

I mean, this is likely an unedited picture taken with a different camera, I don't think it's reflective of the real picture we'll get in the final show

I just finished Lost for the first time, and now I'm frantically looking to answers on things that where left untold. Turns out, if you follow carefully all the episodes and the clues, you get all the answers you are going to get, and the rest is intentionally left to speculation. Which is so good and so bad at the same time
