This is either the weirdest X-Files or the best Breaking Bad episode I've ever seen and honestly, _I don't know which_.

I'm _begging_ you to please store non-primitive data in a struct or typed object rather than an arbitrary `key` => `value` store like a dictionary, hash table, or associative array
This even includes data that you get back from a third-party API. Take the extra couple of minutes to define the response properties in code rather than passing around an opaque bag of data
I’m just an uninformed crank in the suburbs, but the only order from the president in the Iran war that I have heard the military going on the record to refuse has been to escort merchant vessels through the Strait of Hormuz
Not a very brave look

How it started: who could have known that enemy spies would target US counterintelligence?
How it’s going: who could have known that enemy strikes would target US military supply and C3I assets?
After months, I got an issue with my radio transceiver setup debugged. No fun to say.. but I should have read the manual better. :)
This article is a recap, my attempt to understand what I could have done better..
Might be an interesting read for people who are curious how much is involved to send radio signals.

Q: There’s another Ghost in the Shell adaptation coming. Why should I care?
A: Because it’s done with the aesthetics of the original Shirow manga by anime studio Science SARU, the outfit who meticulously translates the look and feel of the Scott Pilgrim comics into animation while critically turning them thematically inside out. This is gonna be like grinding up the GitS PSX game disc and snorting it (approbative)
