If we're viewing this as a _bad_ thing, I don't really see that it is any different than how Claude encrypts it's thinking. Take a peek at your ~/.claude jsonl files. You're sendin…

Similar experience. I liken it to merging onto a freeway: you want to get up to speed first, then change lanes. If you don't, it feels like you're always fighing the pressure. If y…

As a Canadian I don't really think Americans have really understood how upset we are. Most US-facing talk is about tariffs, but the repeated threats of annexation and taunting (Gov…

Anecdote: I'm helping a family member set up a personal brand website. He has a brand/marketing person for the content/design, but wanted me to manage the tech side of email, domai…

Google Domains was sold to squarespace. Your domain will be migrated soon/already has been. Check your inbox. > Your Google domain has been migrated to your Squarespace Domains acc…

For what it's worth, both Apple Maps and Bing Maps now have street-view like features, at least in my neck of the woods (Canada).

Then where did eggs come from?

When US (NTSC) shows are aired in Europe (PAL), the framerate difference necessitates a small speed-up. It's barely noticeable, except when music is playing, at which point it is v…

A family member owns a Jeep (2016). It's been nothing but problems for them. They were brand loyal. But they've really gone off the rails lately. Jeep ranked 34/34 (dead last) in c…

Except cupcake shops and craft breweries are allowed to differentiate (gluten free, superhero themed, we only sell wild fermented German beers...) while the legal cannabis retailer…

Big tobacco might have stayed out of the fray but since legalization the vape giant JUUL owns and operates dispensaries.

Social media has been the boogeyman for almost a decade now, and (red) states are at least sending out trial balloons regarding banning minors from accessing social media[1]. Prior…

This might be the hardest to parse headline I've ever read.

How many social media sites allow you to do anything without an account? Twitter used to be wide open but X competely locked down. Instagram lets you click 2 things and then the pa…

https://css-for-js.dev/ by Josh Comeau is fantastic.

Check out Ben Eater at eater.net, he has 2 kits, one where you build an 8-bit CPU, and another where you build a custom computer using a 6502 CPU, all on breadboards (no soldering)…

I'm very bearish on Passkeys as a concept. As a technologist and security advocate, I'm glad that it helps to defeat phishing attacks, and the problem of reusing passwords/credenti…

It's funny, watching films in 48fps in theatres (specifically the first Hobbit movie that pioneered the concept) to me looks like the actors acted in 2x slow motion and then someon…

Yeah, the reaction here is as though the forestry department can just pull up texts/phone logs from random citizens - but if this is just for their own staff, it's a bit of a nothi…

Another pumpkin that didn't RTFA.

About 2 years ago I spent a weekend completely re-doing my wifi environment because the reliability of the Google Minis plummeted. Long response times, multiple rooms answering/clo…

You work at Vercel. Are you saying Vercel does not honour DMCA takedown requests and that is a selling point of using Vercel? This seems like a strange thing to brag about.

Exactly. There's lots of intense density (50+ storey residential buildings) in a small geographic area, but for the other 75% of the land area of Toronto, it has been illegal to bu…
