Really good article on complex systems:

A sad tale on how moving from smaller local schools to one large school outside of town has externalized costs to everyone in terms of commute time, increased pollution, and making impossible healthy options like walking or biking.
Which city will be the first to be completely consumed by wildfires?
"If we continue on the present global emissions trajectory, the earth could warm +4C as soon as the early 2060s. An increase of +4°C would cause “mass death” and would be “incompatible
with an organized human community,” according to Kevin Anderson, Deputy
Director of the Tyndall Center for Climate Change Research. He projects that only 500m people could survive warming on that scale, meaning 8-9 billion people could die as a result of catastrophic climate warming."
"Featuring a new Magic Keyboard with a redesigned scissor mechanism and 1mm travel for a more satisfying key feel, the 16-inch MacBook Pro delivers the best typing experience ever in a Mac notebook."
They just threw away the latest keyboard design and called it Magic™. Classic Apple.

A gigantic data leak from a white supremacist message board was posted onto the Internet Archive today. #IronMarch
Bellingcat published a guide on how to find, access, and interpret this data :

critics of socialism fear some people might try to take more than their fair share while not contributing a justifiable amount to society SO INSTEAD we have billionaires
Spent the weekend in Government Camp, OR hiking Mt Hood and seeing the local lakes.
@TheKinrar Getting a 500 when I try to upload media.
Years ago, a bad actor bought the sidekiq.pro domain and proceeded to try to monetize somehow (one example, they offered it to me for $1000). I ignored all of it; I have the luxury of time and can outwait hustlers.
I learned today that they finally gave up, failed to renew the domain and a Sidekiq committer picked it up and offered it to me. ❤

It’s been months but I’ve gotten back in the groove and I’ve spent the last 2 days coding nonstop on a new Faktory feature: queue throttling. 💻
