#lazyweb There's a very large piece of street art, a mural, up on a second story corner indentation of a building. It has an elephant as the subject. The elephant is framed by the walls of othe building, but not in an ordinary rectangle.

I need that image.
As I remember, the elephant is on a split-level, with one leg down half-a-level, and the rest of its body quite tall and narrow. The building surfaces themselves have coloration that creates the odd frame.
It is *not*, as far as I recall, the more common "elephant coming through a wall" motif.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
YES!! That's it.

Thank you so much, @voyager42 and @susanalmon

Y'all are the *best*!!
I really really wanted it for some writing I'm doing, and not finding it was just exactly the sort of thing that would make me stop writing for the day, so it's a huge assist that you found it so quickly.

Truly, thank you!

You can put all your configuration in a shared library and eliminate just about every mis-configuration in your multi-process application. It's not free, but it's cheap, and it kills a lot of minor pain. Let's take a gander.
It's Sunday geek comfort-food time. I hope you enjoy it, and I also hope you remember it's not the most important story out there. Please keep working for change, once you're rested.

Stay safe, stay strong, stay kind, stay angry.

A multi-process app is one where there are several programs that are built and provisioned separately, but must collaborate to create the experience of the user. All micro-service architectures are multi-process, for instance, but there are other apps like that, too.

Richie Havens, "God Bless the Child".

There must be ten million GBTC's.

I love me my Billie, but her take is so personal, so Billie-to-Billie.

This one.

It slides past my so carefully erected defenses.
Embarrassingly enough, I only heard it the first time about ten years ago.

Bruce Springsteen: "Incident on 57th Street".
The Boss is world-famous, of course, nowadays. But in the early takes, you get to hear the exuberant Dylan-esque poet.
This a songwriter *exploding* with jjuice, connecting it to poetic technique. There are wild feminine rhymes here, glorious, and then crazy post-rhyme throwaways. Then spiraling to the heart.

Rolling Stones, "Paint It Black".

Underrated.
Generally, cuz of their fame, the Stones are underrated for their considerable skillz. These guys were *tight*. The tightest performers of the rock era were the various Clapton bands, I give you that, and it's really the only thing I give Clapton. But this is *tight*.

"I think maybe I got a test for that."

Sometimes, you see a problem in prod, it's a corner case, and you have to puzzle a little about how you'd test to see if your current diagnosis-hypothesis is right.
I bring it up, cuz I just did it.

TDD isn't about not making mistakes. Obviously, I'd've preferred if I'd thought of that test already. But I didn't, and it is what it is.

Now I'll go write the test. Further bulletins as events warrant.
New test name is "backtrack from first move is not why we can't have nice things".

When large teams struggle with trunk-based development (TBD) or continuous integration/deployment (CI/CD), a good strategy is to re-orient how the teams face "backsteps", moments in our workflow where a discovery forces us to re-open a stage we thought was closed.
It's been a hard stretch for those of us seeking peace and equity. I offer this geekery not to suggest it matters as much as that does, but only to give us a little respite.

Stay safe, stay strong, stay angry, stay kind.

Black Lives Matter.
Large teams & projects often pre-date the use of modern synthesis techniques like TBD or CD, and during adoption, intermixing their Before with this new After can produce quite a bit of discomfort. If it gets bad enough, it can even kill off the improvement effort. What to do?
