Yesterday was the first day my college-freshman daughter's life was without the War on Terror.
This is a good year. Happy New Year!

@dragosr I remember about three years later when grad students started asking for SLIP/PPP accounts so they could get images dialed in. I thought "Well, I guess if you think you need it..."
@davidolrik @brianokken a family favorite is The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. Think a Douglas Adam's crossed with Jane Eyre mystery novel set in 1985 Britain. You must like time travel and puns.

@0xabad1dea A thousand times yes.
@brettcannon jit is my vote. I believe it'd get greater flexibility in experimentation, jit implementation, and production use. We could see different jits for different processing use cases, written in C++, rust, java, etc., enabled in some pieces of the software and not others, etc.
If there's a good all-around jit then it could get used as a standard in sub-interpreters, and you'd still be able to use a java-implemented jit for jython-compatible code, perhaps.
@brianokken @shacker Ah, I was wondering if it was the yaml foot-gun! https://a2mi.social/@ffg/109682734021725393

It's satisfying to see my hatred of #YAML vindicated (h/t @[email protected] ) https://ruudvanasseldonk.com/2023/01/11/the-yaml-document-from-hell
@brianokken you are a good person.
@brianokken But will you enjoy it when others use the foot gun? That's the key to earning a Small Dark Soul Point (TM).
@james_hardaway she's right about that, and it's not just for supply chains. It's why we leave white space in the training schedule, too.
Similarly, the book The Phoenix Project does a good job of showing how over-scheduling IT workers means that there's no time available for either emergencies or improvements.
It doesn't mean folks are loafing around, not doing productive work, etc., but that the humans have time to adjust to changing conditions, opportunities, and disruptions.
@james_hardaway excellent, rolling right into the twelve days of Christmas. Well done!
