Oh, also, that literally took three hours to do the upgrade (which was three upgrades: the Ubuntu 16 patches required to upgrade to 20, the upgrade to 20, then the upgrade to 22). It wasn't all active time, but I couldn't do something else entirely because I had to answer prompts to keep the process going. Then, I had to figure out why nginx wouldn't start. (proxy_pass statements failed because the server couldn't resolve hosts because /etc/resolv.conf was filled with some garbage. I don't know why the "resolver" statements in the nginx config didn't kick in, though.)Comments
Sucked, but I guess it's fair for having to only do it every four years or so. (And you do have to do it. I've seen people not do it and get pwned, as they used to say.)
It would be nice to just have a bunch of lambdas that have the servers under them maintained by someone else, but you can't just pick them up and move them elsewhere easily. Also, they could easily get phased out in some fashion in seven years. -
OK, I have mostly successfully (gotta fix the bot snapshot service later) upgraded my server from Ubuntu 16 (whose long-term support, meaning maintenance updates would be made for it, ended in 2021) to Ubuntu 22 (which should be good until 2027).Comments
This (virtual) server is seven years old! It should be in third grade next year, writing paragraphs and making boats. -
Finally upgrading ye olde cloud server from Ubuntu 16. Pray for Mojo.Comments

NEC does have music classes for kids. However, I literally said "YOW!" out loud when I saw the prices.Comments

Did PT back stuff. I think it’s recovering. So, this round of back injury, possibly caused by push-ups, which I don’t do regularly, cost three days of working out.Comments
I had some wrist numbness last night, so I have to bring back the typing timer. Concentration 📈 => Hand health 📉 -
The guy had a dream that a giant bald eagle was trying to eat the kids at his school. Seems portentous!Comments
Also, he had a dream that he found a book at the library called Hilo Compared to Big Nate. I hope that isn’t portending kidlit IP crossovers. If that’s portending children’s comparative literature, though, I’m for it. -

The trigeminal cave is in your skull.Comments
Within the dural confines of the trigeminal cave, there is a continuation of subarachnoid space along the posterior aspect of the cave, representing a continuation of the cerebral basal cisterns.
Subarachnoid! Cisterns! Seems like a pretty cool place to explore. -
Nightingale looks like a good magazine, but it's $40 for an issue! Wow, I had no idea what prestige magazine prices were like lately.Comments

Among a lot of stuff about asynchrony programming in general, an interesting bit about how await is implemented in C# (and possibly other languages):Comments
That’s why you need to use await in C#: it’s a clue to the compiler to say, “break the function in half here”. Everything after the await gets hoisted into a new function that the compiler synthesizes on your behalf.
This is why async-await didn’t need any runtime support in the .NET framework. The compiler compiles it away to a series of chained closures that it can already handle. (Interestingly, closures themselves also don’t need runtime support. They get compiled to anonymous classes. In C#, closures really are a poor man’s objects.) -
Well, I got the back crunchies again, so I'm not sure if I should spend more time than necessary sitting up at the computer. So, lounged on the couch reading this long paper about the effects of moving on kids.Comments
We already moved during what is called "middle childhood", and while there are problems with that move, the guy is doing better socially than he was.
I don't know how the models they used work, but they use the data they collected to estimate the effect of many individual factors like moves, income, low birth weight, and others on cognitive and social ability, which is assessed via those questionnaires that teachers fill out. The problem with this is that the same teacher is not filling out the questionnaire when the kid in the study is in kindergarten and when they're in fifth grade. Maybe in aggregate all of these consistencies average out?
I found it interesting that you can compare life changes with cash amounts using these abstractions:Although the effect sizes of residential mobility were very small, they were generally a bit larger than a $10,000 increment in family income, which was associated with differences in children's functioning of 0.01-0.02 SD units across outcomes.
They also have an analysis that separates school moves from residential moves. The finding was that school moves affected cognitive ability, but not social skill, which is surprising to me because school is where most of the socializing seems to happen?
The tl;dr seems to be that moves have effects on development that can be ruled causal but seem to be very small effects, though they did not measure eighth grade social skills. -

In or about June and July 2021, KATRINA MACLEAN, in Massachusetts, shipped human skin to Jeremy Pauley [one of the people charged separately today] in Pennsylvania, and engaged his services to tan the skin to create leather. On or about July 31, 2021, Pauley sent a photograph of the leather and Maclean agreed to provide Pauley with human skin in lieu of monetary payment. ...
Wow. This is like one of the evil side quests you could do in Baldur’s Gate II.
On May 19, 2019, Taylor sent DENISE LODGE $1,000 with a memo that read, "head number 7." On November 20, 2020, Taylor sent DENISE LODGE $200 with a memo that read "braiiiiiins." -
I think I spent about an hour today to ultimately uncover that I had accidentally deleted an underscore. Programming, amiriteComments

Dag, missed the deadline to contribute to the end-of-year teacher gifts. All we had to do was Venmo! I guess there are some basic things we're not great at.Comments

After a lot of manual composing on iterations on this phase-centric piece, I gave up about a year ago. I recently listened, and I think I need to do this programmatically to get the feel I want.Comments
So, I started that today, but I only got as far as cloning an old project and deleting the stuff from the clone that I don't think I'll need. But, at least I don't need to do that part again!
I'm in a rare "rest is actually important" mood these days, so I'm stopping for today.
