Welcome to the delayed 191st T-SQL Tuesday. Our host is, once more, Steve Jones. This time, he asks us to write about our favorite string parsing.

The global mental health and neuroscience communities are mourning the loss of Nolan Williams, M.D., who passed away on October 8, 2025. A brilliant, irreverent, and deeply compassionate physician-scientist, Dr. Williams was a Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University and Director of the Stanford Brain Stimulation Lab. To those who knew him best, he was far more than a pioneer — he was a devoted husband, an adoring father, and a man who approached life with curi...| maps.org

Lately, the Discover page has seen multiple posts in reply to each other about copyright and the legitimacy of piracy. From Herman sparking the initial wave, to Pirate posting a sort of reply on the Gazette, and then Cris voicing his view there as well, I now feel the need to compose my unwieldy thoughts that I’ve been gathering in my notes through this exchange which in their turn have been partially sparked by this month’s book club pick Algospeak, weirdly enough.

I have two people in my life working in nursing homes and the stories they tell me have only strengthened my conviction that euthanasia has to be become legal everywhere. People need to have the option if they see it as the only logical step in or end to their life. It's not that they are not worth the care. People have the right to choose what to do with their life, period. If ending it is their choice, then so be it. Why should anyone take that choice away from them?| suliman's space
This blog marks my first time using my real first name on the internet, like ever. I see other bloggers do that not just on their blog, but pretty much on all of their socials.

The distinction between these physical and emotional symptoms is largely a product of modern medicine; in the premodern world, those boundaries were far blurrier.
