I was the victim of an extremely clever card fraud/social engineering hack.

Well, partly a victim since I managed to stop it.

I was called by my bank, as they wanted to “verify some suspect transactions on my account”.

Then things got weird…

So finally I say, look, I need to call my bank directly. This all seems a bit odd.

And then, naturally (in retrospect), the guy hangs up.

I call my bank. They verify that it wasn’t them.

Chandrayaan 3 landing on the moon is getting close, with powered descent in progress.
Approximately 15 minutes to go.🤞
Been a while since anyone has stuck a Lunar landing, and so far it's looking like an excellent day for science and India.

This post is a great reminder that when writing technical documentation, your readers will just copy your examples verbatim a lot of the time.

You have to be thoughtful about things like sample code or example configurations because that’s actually going to be a lot of your customer’s production code and deployed configurations.

This applies outside of technical writing as well. People treat analogies and examples as just as canonical as the thing you’re teaching.

The most surprising fact I learned from #Oppenheimer is that if you have a crying toddler you can just GIVE THEM to a fellow academic for several months at a time. Absolute game changer!

RIP Kris Nóva. I had her on the show and was blessed to spend time with her just a few months ago. She was a genius and made things better. youtu.be/nJSxRqJ2kgQ?si=3ei04Z life is short. Focus on your friends and family and your health. Everything is fleeting.
