Another predatory technique from LinkedIn. I am unsubscribed from all emails, and yet I received this.
How? They created a new category that users are subscribed to by default.
At this point, it seems you might need to delete your account to truly unsubscribe.

There is one tailrec function tucked away deep in Multiplatform Settings and I'm stupidly proud of it

There is a concept called marginal deterrence, which explains why penalties increase with the severity of a crime. Punishment must escalate so that offenders are deterred from committing additional or more severe harms. For this reason, murder carries a more severe penalty than rape.

Ideas are common, but not equally distributed. Some people try to force meme their sole idea for their entire lives.
For a certain class of person, that idea is "what if we could deskill workers?" And so (decades before computing became male-dominated) tech has been trying to replace developers.

Why We've Tried to Replace Developers Every Decade Since 1969

These days I find myself writing more privately than ever (articles I never publish, docs to give structure to ideas) and never publishing anything, since AI took out the value and joy of it.

I used Antigravity to build a small Compose Multiplatform app that rewrites a FIT file’s manufacturer type. After fixing a few minor issues, it generated this in about 5 minutes, saving me the hour it would take to read Garmin’s FIT documentation.

I'm teaching Statistical Rethinking again starting Jan 2026. This time with live lectures, divided into Beginner and Experienced sections. Will be a lot more work for me, but I hope much better for students.
I will record lectures & all will be found at this link: github.com/rmcelreath/s...

I thought I had seen everything in terms of JDs, but this one is the best so far.
If you ignore all the technical experience (Android, Azure, ML, Data Analysis...), you also need to speak Arabic, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, and, I assume, English. How many people in the world fit this?

Finished my first semi-long ride on Rouvy. I really like how realistic it feels and how practical it is for winter training. Feeling confident as I prepare for my upcoming triathlon.
