  TIL I can tap (once) the 🌐/Fn key on my MacBook, and a unicode symbol picker pops up. Any emoji, any cuneiform or chinese glyph, any math symbol, just search and double-click. Tap (once) 🌐/Fn key again, and the picker goes away. Simply joys. #Macbook #KeyboardShortcuts

  The past is never dead. It’s not even past. All of us labor in webs spun long before we were born, webs of heredity and environment, of desire and consequence, of history and eternity. — William Faulkner, Requiem for a Nun We casually say "It's the end of an era!" as if eras end in an instant. But those who remember live on, nostalgia is a force, and eras take several generations to end (if ever). #Patience

  Even without seeing the talk at Minnebar by Paul Cantrell (@inthehands), this review/reflection/meditation by Matthew Tift (@mtift) moved me deeply. In particular, I want to share it with my EU friends as they develop and revise their national tech and energy infrastructures to reduce their, um, supply chain risks. https://matthewtift.com/blog/caring-about-software-caring-about-people #DigitalSovereignity #EuroOffice #EUTech

  @AlSweigart I prefer the second one, with the small red circle and matching color text (design idea: make the small important thing visually louder). IMHO The balance would be better if the large circle label were inside the circle.

  Electrifying industrial heat in India is now cheaper than producing heat from natural gas and oil across all temperatures, and cheaper than coal in three of five temperature bands, representing 55 percent of the country’s industrial heat needs. Wow. (h/t @volts.wtf) https://energyinnovation.org/report/electrifying-industrial-heat-in-india/ #ClimateChange #Electrification #India

  I ❤️ 🧅 “In all officially sanctioned matches played from today forward, the pawn immediately in front of a player’s king will be replaced with a sick little hot rod that can move any number of squares horizontally, vertically, or in a circle like it’s doing donuts,” said Arkady Dvorkovich https://theonion.com/international-chess-federation-adds-race-car-piece/

  The velocity increase in national decarbonization and electrification efforts is a real silver lining in this crazy moment on this crazy timeline. It's crushing my curmudgeonly buzz, it is. [Edit: sorry, U.S., not you yet.]
