I was trying to come up with a clever toot about my brain getting fried by debugging a recursive function, but my brain got fried by debugging a recursive function.

Non mais c'est une blague ?
Un rapport du Commissariat général au développement durable de 2018 conclue une étude sur la baisse de la vitesse de 20km/h en disant que le « bilan socio-économique très négatif de l’ordre de -550 millions d’euros (M€), dû à la perte de temps occasionnée (- 1 150 M€) n’est pas compensée par les gains en accidentalité (150 M€) et les
économies de carburant (360 M€) »

Today’s photo find from my archives is instructional!
People often talk about the internet when the actually refer to the web.
Vint Cerf invented the internet.
Tim Berners-Lee invited the web.
The web *runs* on the internet (like email, both are applications of the internet.)
Here they were on stage, wearing t-shirts @amyvdh and I made for the occasion of the 20th anniversary of W3C.
(And yet, 7 years after, people still confuse the two systems!)
Ce soir, j’allume une TV pour la première fois depuis des années. 21h10 est le nouveau 20h50 ?

A spaceship landed. An alien emerged.
"Greetings Earthlings," they said. "We have come to negotiate the purchase of your technology."
"Wait, you want our technology?"
"We have nothing so expressive, so versatile."
"What are you taking about?"
"You call it 'Lego'."

Heads up! #Microsoft is on track to ban all commercial activity by #FOSS projects on Microsoft Store in about a week! This is even worse than their (eventually repealed) 2011 ban on #copyleft for their app store! 😡️ We demand rollback of this new policy: https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2022/jul/07/microsoft-bans-commerical-open-source-in-app-store/

When a paragraph (at least) in a novel from 1993 (that otherwise covers science fiction, mild horror and mystery) hits close to home at the eve of a political election:
"civilization - in fact the planet itself - can't survive if government makes decisions based on the whims and selfish motivations of the masses that pull the levers in the voting booths."
*gasp* I thought I'd wait until 7pm when it would be cooler, but I just checked the forecast and it goes up to 37°C by then.
32°C outside. I ought to go #running today but I'm not sure I should. 😕
Just received an email from Google notifying me that a random looking gmail account has been deleted for ToS violation and my gmail address was listed as recovery email.
I'm sure this comes from Google and is not classic phishing. Anyone else knows what this could be?
