Sometimes I feel like I'm single-handedly holding up the USB extension cable industry. I seem to keep having new reasons to buy more of them.
Inverse Random Test Auditing
I've developed a new random software testing technique that I believe will become a staple of my software testing going forward. It is both helpful for agentic AI (LLM) software development, where robust software verification is more important than ever, ...
Ooo, what if instead of interrupting the hold music to say "your call is very important", write a hold music song with lyrics about how the call is very important!

I'm not against satellite internet, I just resent the hype for worse satellite internet when governments and ISPs have drug their feet for so long at taking fiber seriously. I mean, come on, we should be laying fiber everywhere that electric lines go.
And it's worse along the one dimension that they advertise: slower download speed for a higher price. Even if the upload is symmetric (unclear), it is also slower. And all of this ignores the literally sky high latency of sending every packet to space and back.
We just got mail from Starlink offering *checks notes* worse internet service, for *checks notes* a higher price than my already expensive internet service.
