@mxchara I'm hoping that was sarcasm but, for fun, I'll assume it was a serious question and give a serious answer.
It looked like an 8 Oz bottle, i.e. 1 cup. I didn't catch the exact price but IIRC it was between $4 & $5. Let's say $4.50.
1 cup/pint * 2pint/Qt * 4Qt/Gal = 16cup/Gal
That's $72/Gal to avoid dissolving some table sugar in tap water and pouring it into an empty beer bottle.

I just saw a young person, I'm guessing in their 20s, specifically ask for and then buy a small bottle of simple syrup at one of my local liquor stores. I despair for humanity's future.
If you don't mix cocktails and are unfamiliar with what simple syrup is, kagi it. Or, better yet, visit your local library and check out a book on basic cocktails.

"The Librem 5 has 3GB of memory."
https://www.theregister.com/2026/05/01/buy_a_foss_fondleslab/
My first laptop had 3GB of *storage*. On a spinning magnetic drive. Can't remember how much RAM, 56MB? 128MB? It ran a Windows 9x OS, the Mate desktop I use now is superficially similar.
Laptop software has got *so* much more bloated and inefficient in that time. Whereas I feel like the limitations of mobile (eg battery life) have forced most people developing for it to work harder for computational efficiency.

Someone on our street is repeatedly using their "Mission Doorbell," instead of getting out of the car and actually going up to the door. In my fantasies I'm shaking a ripped down pillow through their car window. "Here, enjoy this bunch of goose feathers, since you like honking so much!"

Just read a listing for a senior level role that included:
"Be prepared to sacrifice your work-life balance in exchange for joining an incredible journey and learning a lot along the way."
F2k you, no. You just received $75 million in additional funding. (total of $90 million). You should be prepared to pay for the skills you need and hire enough people for the workload.
Thank $deity I'm not looking for a job right now.

Kaikkea sitä pitää ihmisen elääkseen tehdä, sano.
Tai siis en sano, en ainakaan julkisesti. Mutta huokaan. *hooh* Näin ikkään.
Tämähän on somepäivitys, joten miksei se voisi kuulostaa somepäivitykseltä?
Huomenna varmaan uhoan poistavani seuraajista kaikki, jotka eivät ole tykänneet tästä julkaisusta. Tai sitten en, riippuu lakkaako korva soimasta ja tuleeko tänään ostamastani leivästä hyviä voikkoleipiä. #miehenelämää #horinaa #OldManYellsAtClouds

"In all cases, it's very important to bear in mind the roles and personas used in Gateway API. The use cases presented here are deliberately described in terms of Ana, Chihiro, and Ian: they are the ones for whom the API must be usable."
How about you just use the job titles instead of making me learn everyone's back story just to read basic documentation?

Here's what I want to know if anyone's done with Claude Code or any other AI coding assistant / team of agents set-up:
Build a fully functional app, with fully fleshed-out requirements, from top to bottom, with automated test cases with good code coverage that all pass.
Now, carefully review all the code: the app code, the build code, the test harness code, the deployment code, the automated tests.

Have you all collectively forgotten to listen to music? Not while you travel or doing other things in a noise-cancelling crap. Immerse yourself, let it flow around you. There is a recurring theme recently that listeners and musicians too think music something the needs to be resolved. What the actual heck? Do me a favour. Carve five minutes from your life. Turn the lights off and listen to your favourite song. Doesn’t matter what it is. Just don’t do anything else. Music is not a task. And if you think it doesn’t sound differently than usual, come back and argue with me.

I just realized something.. I used to love learning new things, i could get engrossed in something because it was simple to learn and easy to use.
New "tech stack" doesn't seem to be like that anymore. It feels needlessly complex and invents a new 'standard' every time. It makes me angry and I hate learning, cause its no longer fun.
Learning #borland #TurboPascal #pascal was fun and easy in High School. Moving to #C and #Perl in university was great and easy enough as well. Not that I was any kind of competent in C, but I felt I learned enough that it set me up on a trajectory to learn the finer details and gotchas.
Things like #Python are annoying AF. Oh, your python program only works on 3.11 and not 3.12 or 3.13? That shouldn't be at all. From 2->3 sure I expect changes, 3->4, i would expect great changes as well. But not a minor change!
Dabbling in #Go was fine actually, it didn't anger me much, and #Rustlang / #rust I'm still doing rustlings so I can't say much there.
CLI tools are weird today too. Do they want to be a TUI, a true CLI tool or what?
The #Unix philosophy made learning new tools nice and easy, at least I think so. Do one thing, do it well, make it so your output can be used as the input to another program and great!
Things don't seem to follow that idea anymore.
Or am I just old and biased cause my brain lost its elasticity?? I don't want to think i'm so egocentric as to not rule that out.
