I'm glad Oracle made sure to make this a long so we can avoid the y5881636 problem
(yes I had the wrong number in the Wolfram|Alpha screenshot)

to be fair, they actually calculate the time since year 0, and then subtract the number of days to 1970. so it would actually break in the year 5,879,666 with an int

Temurin releases of 25 are here!
well, sort of. seems like they're gradually rolling the different builds out
so, for now... Alpine Linux Temurin releases of 25 are here!

Is it time to get hyped about 26 yet?

I didn't realize how much low-hanging fruit was left in Java autovectorization

Disassembled my keyboard for a deep clean


Having trouble with the A and spacebar, so hopefully this helps
Those contacts weren't the best but the weren't the worst either
So I'm skeptical that I helped anything but we'll see
Time to screw it all back together

keyboard is back together, seems to be working, we'll see if it's improved at all

don't think I've ever used this big of a static initializer block

certainly will need some refactoring
2025-09-28T23:57:27.426Z
that's how you know you're having a good time

2025-10-01T00:25:17.539Z
this is probably a good idea

oh actually that wasn't quite right, try this instead

Ended up reinstalling Spyder from scratch today, since its Python kernel has gotten bloated over time
This time I'm doing it "right": just use the system Python for the interpreter!
Spyder has a "reset to factory settings" button but I don't particularly trust it to clean everything up
anyways that freed a good few gigs, so that's nice. did a number of other cleanups and updates as well
turns out I still had a full PyTorch installation for a Python version I don't even have installed anymore, oops

oh good, I need to download Java 6, I was just thinking my Java installations were starting to get too straightforward

why is this an option

Over in the main Honey suit: plaintiffs contend that the arbitration clause doesn't apply because the contract is about disputes around their use of PayPal's services, and this is about other people's use of PayPal's services. Their opposition to the motion to dismiss is basically all stuff we've covered before, I don't see a need to go over it again.

More importantly though, Capital One has preliminarily settled! We don't know any details yet, and probably won't for about a month and a half. They may well be still working out the specifics.
That means that this case will only really be instructive up to the motion to dismiss stage, so its value as a test case is basically over. But if the number is big, that could incentive bigger settlements in the other cases.

Probably bad idea: police officers of one county are under the jurisdiction of a neighboring county
Counties with a larger population than all their neighbors have to be covered by their largest neighbor, otherwise, and county can cover any neighbor, so long as it doesn't result in any loops less than, say, ten counties long
2025-10-06T03:00:33.935Z
I bet police officers would love the special powers of being able to enforce their jurisdiction a whole county over, and would try to find any excuse to use it
You might get rivalries forming
Or they might find solidarity with their fellow officers and nothing would change, who knows

Also: shake it up with every census, to recalculate to population and help reduce corruption
