A late dinner—prepared on time but neglected in favor of a computer game—led my son to be victimized by the remark “Those who forget the pasta are condemned to reheat it”.

Honestly I’m surprised he hasn’t simply smothered me in my sleep by now.

I live in a suburban area in the USA. I don’t have a lot of space. I’m thinking of buying a foldable bike for both recreation & maybe even biking the mile or two to work occasionally.
What is the best deal for weight, size, durability, & price?

Sad to hear they're discontinuing work on the Apple car

Apple's trying to scuttle PWAs out of pique, blame regulators for their tantrum, and gaslight users, businesses, and developers about who is breaking their apps and why.

It's bullshit, and @owa is fighting back. Join them by signing the open letter:

Kramer bursts into Jerry’s apartment, wearing an Apple Vision Pro headset. “Jerry, I’ve entered the next dimension!” he proclaims, narrowly missing the coffee table.

Jerry, skeptical. "Kramer, how much did that set you back?"

"Jerry, I found the perfect solution. I'm renting out my apartment on Airbnb to cover the cost!"

Jerry, eyebrows raised, sets down his coffee. "You're renting out your place? Where are you sleeping?"

"Oh baby, with spatial computing?! I’m never sleeping again Jerry!”

Today in 1968 — MISTER ROGERS' NEIGHBORHOOD debuted on NET (the forerunner of PBS).

For more than 30 seasons and 900 episodes, Fred Rogers taught us the value of kindness, gratitude, and chilling out with your crew.

My column for Stuff this week is ‘My phone does everything, which is why I want to resurrect my iPod’.

I realise my inability to focus for more than about two seconds is a me problem. But as I look around, I find it’s a ‘lots of other people problem’ too.

So apparently the term "patch" in software development comes from punch cards.

"Small corrections to the programmed sequence could be done by patching over portions of the paper tape and re-punching the holes in that section."

Pardon my advertising, but I really want this to succeed, obviously.

I don't know who did this, but - man, this is the meme that just keeps on giving.

Chita Rivera made her TV acting debut in a creepy 1964 episode of THE OUTER LIMITS as a Mrs. Danvers-esque maid.

Martin Landau and Sally Kellerman co-star in "The Bellero Shield, a sort of sci-fi MACBETH directed by John Brahm (THE LODGER) and written by Joseph Stefano (PSYCHO).

Watch on Freevee.

It arrived! Coming out free to the internet on February 27.

I'm launching an email series called What's New in R. #rstats

Why am I doing this?

Previously, Twitter served as my primary resource for R updates. However, after Elon Musk's takeover, leading R users have migrated away, spreading across platforms like Mastodon, LinkedIn, YouTube, and more, making it challenging to track R news.

The inaugural issue releases tomorrow, you can sign up here: https://rfortherestofus.com/whatsnew
