Hi there, private sector. I'm looking for X MW of firm capacity or Y GWh of dry-year cover, callable under defined scarcity conditions, from 2028 to 2045. You tell me how you’ll deliver it and at what price.
Oh wait, the government should be asking that before making any big dumb decisions, not me.

Kiwi Dub should be its own genre, no? Anyhow, Bandcamp Friday and Waitangi Day are in confluence tomorrow. You know what to do.

It sucks that the "CC" field is directly above the "Subject" field in Outlook. I nearly talked "to" someone when I was only trying to talk "about" them 😬

Yeah I don't think New Zealand should be sending teams to either of these events.
If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Feels good to code something without reaching for the ol' agentic AI. Although I'm reminded of that old sci-fi story about the guy who re-discovers how to do arithmetic with pencil and paper and the army immediately starts loading people into missiles because they're cheaper than guidance computers.

True, CDs don't go much above 20kHz, but above that is where ultra high res tracks hide the subliminal messages for your pets to eat you. Another thing the government doesn't want you to know.

Perfect sound forever, indeed. The government doesn't want you to know this, but CDs still rock

Acoustically treating my laundry so I can hear the washing machine as the manufacturer intended, without reverb and comb-filtering.

As a liberal arts guy who became a software developer and is *currently in the process of migrating F# web apps from Azure to AWS” I feel like I have been precision targeted by this joke. #fsharp
Creating an F# field to hold some AWS user credentials. It's an option type, which is None if the credentials do not exist yet. If they do, Cognito ergo Some.

If this doesn't definitively end National's reelection chances, what is even wrong with this country. Mismanagement on a generational scale

Our washing machine stops and plays a very specific ascending tone when the load goes out of balance.
There's a bird in the neighborhood who's now added that to his repertoire 😫

Did you know: if you love music, you can support musicians by buying it.
One Bandcamp purchase might be more than a small artist makes from streaming in a year.
For example, listen to this Kiwi jazz album. If you like it, buy it like I just did!
