It’s May 16th. This day in 1964, the FBI drops its years-long investigation into the pop song “Louie Louie.”
The “Louie Louie” Freakout (1964) - This Day in Esoteric Political History 🎙️

I did not know that there was actually an FBI investigation into the song. I knew people freaked out about it, but not to that extent.
Please stop writing those illegible, infinitely long and/or infinitely continued-with-backslashes lines in Dockerfiles. Use here docs, just like lots of other languages.

Surprisingly low numbers are unresolved in the ways that they’re imperfect.

The macOS Character Viewer 🅿 problem.
Today’s bit of fun… the macOS Character Viewer, when you use it to enter 🅿, not only enters the U+1F17F NEGATIVE SQUARED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER P codepoint, but also adds on U+FE0E VARIATION SELECTOR-15. The extra codepoint causes Safari to show that glyph as larger than the others.
Had to resort to Ctrl-V U0001f17f in Vim to get the bare codepoint.
GitHub-flavored-Markdown supports alerts. Who knew?
Hooray for Ctrl-z / bg / disown %1.
Feel so disappointed 😞 when I feel like I need to resort to monkey punching (“monkey patching” is not violent enough of a metaphor).

It’s always weird when you watch a movie that you’ve never seen before and realize that music that you’ve listened to a lot has samples from it.
What’s with Easter egg nog?

Dr. Becky is this really great blend of academic and enthusiasm.
