It is not countercultural to conform to the inverse of a villain. A countercultural response is to keep doing your own thing. Changing your writing style to avoid being labeled AI makes you a conformist sheep, not a countercultural figure. Contemptible. #booksky30 Jul 2026 13:25 +0000at://did:plc:2deb5mnse74p42w5dnocsvan/app.bsky.feed.post/3mruk2ecwb227https://bsky.app/profile/kylegoetz.com/post/3mpobd4kfg22cFavorite thing about #Quebec right now is discovering "foulet" on the menu, which I've gleaned from context is "faux poulet" or fake chicken.

It discusses using Python mixins to avoid inheritance, but in the example, the inheritance is just hidden. ResizableMixin is still implicitly dependent on GraphicalEntity, otherwise mixing the two classes doesn't do what it's expected to.12 Jun 2026 16:05 +0000at://did:plc:2deb5mnse74p42w5dnocsvan/app.bsky.feed.post/3mo44n2mh6s2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/kylegoetz.com/post/3mnpbttugq22hHot take: there's two kinds of DNF: no time versus it was so bad. The latter should count as a book read, because that is a metric (IMO) approximating "I have an educated opinion about this book." (I expected it to show up in my list of books read from this year.) #booksky @hardcover.app07 Jun 2026 13:34 +0000at://did:plc:2deb5mnse74p42w5dnocsvan/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnpbttugq22hhttps://bsky.app/profile/kylegoetz.com/post/3mnb6domvwc2gI mean, the convicted child rapist that the Netherlands released just so he could compete for them in the last Olympics comes pretty close.
