death, crowd dynamics, fluid dynamics, social dynamics
Interesting read about "crush points" in crowds. And the physical phenomena has quasi-equivalences in terms of social phenomena also. In both systems, the dangerous behavior is emergent. Thinking of how to prevent involves architecting for *different* emergent behavior.

But I have more thoughts...

Moved the cat tree next to my desk. I cannot get over how happy it makes me.

I'll be honest, I wanted cinnamon babka, but the people who are going to eat most of it wanted chocolate.
Babka is in the oven.
I'd appreciate some time chatting with someone who thinks that licenses inspired by open source licenses, but with restrictions on use (e.g do no evil licenses) are the best and most effective way to handle people doing evil things with software.
What's great about my father also being into baking is that I can send him videos of my dough and he can tell me how to fix it.

I was making a cake and then forgot to turn off the oven when I turned off the timer because I was in a meeting.

This bloody thing is going to get me to distro hop, I need a newer kernel than Linux Mint supports and I guess while I'm at it I may as well try something that's not MATE-based (RIP screensharing)

People talk about "releasing" software, stop doing that!
Software raised in captivity cannot survive in the wild! Feral software is also a big threat to digital biodiversity. Do not release software.
