While mentally running a sentence or two ahead of my mouth to rifle through my meat-memory thesaurus my brain repeatedly tries to manufacture reasons to use the word "promulgate" but leaves me casting around like a fish out of water as it stalls during retrieval of the the word "deterministic".
Super useful. Definitely good work there. Thanks, brain!

All right, I need to drop about 20 pounds. Not because the weight is a health problem or a self-image thing; just because I want to make faster progress on being able to do more pullups, and it'll be easier on my elbow tendons if I can load them with a bit less weight at the beginning since they progress more slowly than muscle growth.
This process isn't delightful, but it's not complicated. Guess I'll get that started.

Hey: if you're in the tiny group of folks who generated a GPG key pair a few years back on an airgapped system, copied it to a paper backup, generated & signed subkeys that you migrated to machines you use daily: today is a great day to not just check on the continued existence of your paper backup but also to test restoring it to your airgapped machine and making sure it works.
There's no quiet story in the background of infosec masto prompting this reminder. It's just a good day for it.

There's a crow about twenty feet away from the deck I'm sitting on that appears to be amusing itself by taking a few steps away from a pile of dry leaves, then leaping into it (no wing flapping), rolling around a bit, then stepping away a little further to do it again.
(It seems to be totally fine because it has flown away and returned once or twice, it's just having fun.)

The New York Times should call on the convicted criminal to drop out of the presidential race, in every headline every morning until he does or until he's forced out. It should run stories above the fold every morning about the decisions a president makes that require moral character in the small, quiet parts of the job - insofar as there are any - that don't get press coverage or make the headlines. Next to each they should publish lists of every person Donald Trump has defrauded.

There is a food delivery company in Toronto that appears to equip its delivery staff¹ with insulated cube bags that feature the logo text "AMEGO".
However the shape and colour of the typeface make the "m" look like an "h", to world-endingly catastrophic effect.
😬
¹: for some values of "staff" that are apparently "independent contractors" until labour regulations catch up

The more time I spend with GitHub Actions, the more convinced I become that workflow files belong in a repo but not in the commit history graph of the default ref; maybe under a different namespace, refs/ci/* or something. There's too much value in keeping them right next to the code, but too much negative value in requiring their changes to be intermingled with codebase commits.
That said I also firmly believe that workflow files should be STRICTLY orchestration; execution logic is app code.

Is there an idiomatic SQL (sqlite3) way of mapping a subset of selected records from a large table ("users") to unique values in a smaller table ("coupons")? It's easy enough to _select_ all the user records not yet mapped, and to select all as-yet unmapped coupons, but then what's a nice clean way of mapping one to the other? Order doesn't matter, only that the mapping once established can be queried again in the future.
My brain is stuck thinking sequentially about this, frustratingly.
