We're having breakfast tacos with homegrown avocados** this morning. It's a long stretch between avocados if you're stubborn and only* eat your own.

LA In A Minute does a nice bit on the Sears building in Boyle Heights. It's almost 2 million square feet! I want it.
It would make a most excellent lair.

"The second wave of AI coding is here"
I am still a bit wary but there is obviously something going on here.
(The last time I tried it AI gave me code that ran but did not do what I wanted.)

I checked in my local Craigslist and it looks like the formerly Windows 10 PCs are hitting the resale market. Good deals for somebody who wants a scratch machine for whatever project.
An example would be a dell, i5 quad core, 8 gb, 256 gb SSD, for $55

To put it another way, this properly is "paleo diet" science:
"Work carried out by an international team of researchers at the Gesher Benot Ya'aqov site on the banks of the Jordan River has revealed hundreds of different starch granules and other plant matter stuck to tools encased in sediment dating back some 780,000 years."

"Paleo Diet Debunked: Ancient Humans Ate Plants, Study Shows"
I think I'm old enough, and was reading things enough, to know how this whole thing evolved. The original "Paleo" stuff was based on archaeological evidence, was moderate in claims, and was not at all the bro-science "Paleo" that came later. That was taken to extremes and to absurdity.
Now that the bro version is done(?), can we return to the scientific version, or will it be off limits?
I fear the answer.

CNN Business has an article on Corey Doctorow's enshittification. Apparently seriously and without irony they have an HP printing service ad in the middle of it.

It is 2025, why is Apple still letting fake FastTrack messages through to old ladies with iPhones?
WTF.
In the latest example the sender had a Hotmail account, how hard is that to exclude?

Is it more important that Google not know you are shopping for socks?
Or is it more important that your grandmother not have her retirement funds gutted?

It seems that famous names are critical of Google requiring JavaScript for search "because security."
I'm afraid that all guilt and finger pointing should be directly at the real criminals here, the literal ones, the malicious counterparties.
If you put on your black hat and say "what if I was a bad guy," there are so many ways you could hijack a few users off a web page, redirect them to some ill purpose, and never be seen.
So you know. What's your priority?

When I was cleaning up and reducing I found some really monstrous Arduino project directories. Monstrous even when each project contained only 100 lines of my own code.
I haven't used that tool recently, I don't know to what degree it has any kind of "package and archive" for projects, but I think such things should.
Otherwise people keep "needing a bigger NAS"

What are our best practices?
I think it's really empowering to be able to decode any kind of working directory and extract your work, leaving behind other people's programs and frameworks.
For instance if you're using something like a python virtual environment, you want to note what libraries you've pip'd in but you don't want to archive them. Similarly if you're using a big IDE you probably do not want to just package its project structure. Those are far too bloated. Extract your files.

I know I'm late to the thumb drive game. They've been growing in size and have become part of more people's workflow for many years.
It suddenly occurs to me that (to pick an affordable number) 64 GB is really a lot. Well structured, it's not just enough to carry current work, it can carry a very extensive portfolio.
So I have restructured my archives again, as is my hobby or affliction, and created a file structure called "time-machine."
I can keep 10 years of data on one, best practices.
