Very quick TIL: I figured out how to use VALUES syntax in a CTE in SQLite:

with x(c1, c2, c3) as (
values
('a', 'b', 3),
('b', 'c', 4)
)
select * from x

Handy for if you need to join against some temporary data that you can include in the query itself - or just for writing demonstration queries.

This is a metaphor for cybersecurty. I'll let you connect the dots -- there are many.

Although it is also a great representation of Emacs.

I may need to take this quote to heart.

"Think not of the books you've bought as a 'to be read' pile. Instead, think of your bookcase as a wine cellar. You collect books to be read at the right time, the right place, and the right mood." - Luc van Donkersgoed, as quoted at https://www.instagram.com/p/CnBV6PqPxZm/

The TBR pile is dead! Long live the #BookCellar!

I have a collection of 12345.6789 (3) (1).pdf, and I want you to know that ar5iv exists.

Replace the "x" in your arxiv link
with a 5 and see the glory before you!

The future is here.

Quick blog post that recaps #NormConf and what I thought made it good from the perspective of running it.

We won't be doing it again, but hopefully this post gives people who are thinking about online conferences in 2023 some tools for planning good experiences. https://vickiboykis.com/2022/12/22/everything-i-learned-about-accidentally-running-a-successful-tech-conference/
