And that, class, concludes today's object lesson in probabilistic forecasting of one-time events.

This thread is such a beautiful demonstration of partisanship, motivated reasoning, and decontextualization. Liberals are defending “@SenSchumer’s” words; conservatives damning them. Very few seem to recognize that this was (supposed to be) a scathing indictment of @SenateMajLdr.

The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.

I’m in awe of @SenSchumer’s decision to post this without quotation marks or a citation. He must have known it would yield this reaction. Given the rank hypocrisy of the responses, I’m not certain this is good politics—but I can’t imagine a better COMMENTARY on our politics.

This made me laugh, then cry—and neither in joy.

DID YOU KNOW that it’s actually possible to say “I don’t know enough about this to have an opinion”

“THOMPSON posted on…GitHub about her theft… [a user] alerted Capital One to the possibility it had suffered a data theft. After determining… that there had been an intrusion into its data, Capital One contacted the FBI.“

I find it unnerving that, by this telling, Capital One only discovered that they had been breached because Paige bragged about it on GitHub.

In this week’s episode of “Getting lost in a rabbit hole of abstractions”, your hero questions the overlap between mapping, conversion, and (de)serialization methods. The episode jumps-the-shark when he starts contemplating a single, unified library to address all three 🙄.

To be clear, this is just for a set of business entities with their own mapping, conversion, and serialization needs. I’m not trying to come up with a generic library. I nevertheless suspect this is a fool’s errand. But that’s what I use Sundays are for: Thought experiments.

Kid behind me on the airplane:
Throw your pen into your backpack.
Throw your backpack into your locker.
Throw your locker into your school.
Throw your school into the earth.
Throw your earth into space.
Throw your space into the void.

This is a really simple habit to adopt that encourages people—not least including yourself!—to think in terms of probabilities instead of binaries. Useful.

Instead of asking, “Are you sure? Try asking, “How sure are you?”
“Are you sure” is a yes or no question. It demands unreasonable certainty.
“How sure are you?” allows for shades of gray. It says uncertainty is okay.
How often in a day do you casually ask, “You sure?”

The 1st edition of Dependency Injection has continued to have more impact on my code than any other book. The 2nd edition is challenging that distinction, however, with its emphasis on broader design patterns. Thank you, truly, @ploeh and @dot_NET_Junkie.

This building at Hundertwasser’s Hot Springs complex in Bad Blumau isn’t the most representative of his style, but it’s certainly one of the most photogenic in terms of its setting.

#History: Zentralfriedhof was established by the #Habsburgs at the peak of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, when #Vienna was expected to grow to 4M. Of course, the empire fell in 1918, and Vienna today is less than 2M. Nevertheless, it remains the 2nd largest #cemetery in Europe.

Sitting by the pool. I become aware of two young girls at the gate behind me.
“Hey! Uncle! Have you seen a girl with short hair?”
“No. Do you need to be let in?”
“Where is she? She’s supposed to be here!”
“What room is she in?”
“I don’t know? Find her! We have places to be!”

I should note that there are probably a thousand rooms spread out across eight buildings in the housing complex we’re currently living in.
I’ll get right on that!

More reeds on the banks of Neusiedler See, Austria. The third photo is the siding of a restaurant in Weiden am See.

We headed to Bruck an der Leitha to visit Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt’s 18th century Schloß Prugg, but found ourselves more enchanted by the grounds.
