Oh no, the Tory candidate in my riding is an MMA fighter with the last name "Rusniak."

Google will develop Android OS entirely behind closed doors starting next week

https://9to5google.com/2025/03/26/google-android-aosp-developement-private/

Android has separate instances of Gerrit. One public, one private (well, multiple private). Different teams had different preferences for which one they would use. They had crazy criss cross merges automated by bots that were a pain to resolve conflicts with. Seems like the closed development folks won... Sad day for open source

Apparently airline travel bookings from Canada to the US for summer travel are down 75% over this time last year.

You read that right. Seventy-five percent. That's just shy of a million bookings:

March 2024: 1,218,570 bookings
March 2025: 295,982 bookings

The key takeaway from the Signal scandal is that no matter where in this planet or which industry you work, incompetent men incessantly fail upwards while being excused for their most awful mistakes, while top performing women get harassed for sending emails.

Imagine what Elon could have done for trans rights with all his money and power, if he loved his daughter.

It should honestly be called "vape coding," not "vibe coding."

Should I be happy that it's Signal and not Slack?

When a problem comes along, you must:
40% whip it
3% skip it
9% nib it
46% lie flat and do nothing

I should probably gatecrash the lsfmmbpf summit, since it's in Montreal this year. Might head that way on Wednesday.

Welp, election is upon us. I promise that I will do my best to remember to put it under the CW.

The riding I'm in votes 70-80% Liberal, so I can vote for whoever I like, but this year I might vote Liberal anyway, just as an FU to Poillievre.

When you send a dad joke online, its speed of transmission is measured in special units called "dad-bauds."

New pet peeve -- when people treat email as text messages. I don't want to receive 4 messages from you, each one sentence long.

I'm aware of Anubis and I'm afraid proof-of-work intermediaries are going to become the only way to deal with bots.

However, I don't like Anubis's general approach. I would prefer to have something built into varnish with some more logic that allows for more nuance. If there is a local cached page, allow the request. If there isn't, but the load/RAM usage is low, let the request through. If the load is high or if we're seeing lots of 503's, only then require proof-of-work.
