I am just having a hard time with all this AI stuff. The other day I got some feedback on one of the products I own. It was a small tweak to an anchor tag to add a title and change…

Notability is arguably even more subjective than popularity.

This happened to me back in college. I authored a couple pages for some bands that I was in to, probably spent weeks pulling together history, lineup, albums, eps, etc. only to hav…

If you like this kind of stuff go and look up videos on the Rolls Royce Crecy engine from WWII. Absolutely insane engineering that died due the dawn of jet propulsion.

We had twins after having a singleton during covid. We invested in 4 big hepa air filters and placed one in each bedroom. I think it significantly reduced the amount of illnesses w…

For my family of 5 w/ school age children I would say that is a pretty reasonable estimate, maybe even a bit low for us. There are levels of “sick” though and I would say for us mo…

I really don’t get the bellyaching about the price. They are going to sell as many of these as they can make, so there is no sense in subsidizing the price. Maybe in the future the…

Soon people will be taking proctored IQ tests just to be allowed to submit a resume.

It’s absolutely atrocious in the Fortune 500 tech sector. Multiple times a day I see people debating each other on teams about things they know nothing about and it’s obvious that …

I have filled out census forms in the past and it was not a big imposition. During the last census I had supposed census workers showing up at my home multiple times and pushily as…

The real estate up for auction is actually insane. My conception of a "HUD home" is completely shattered.

Input: I updated a README Output: I’m thrilled to share that I’ve just optimized our project’s core documentation to enhance clarity and streamline onboarding for the entire team. …

It is a very mixed bag. I have enjoyed using opus 4.5 and 4.6 to add functionality to existing medium complexity codebases. It’s great for green field scripts and small POCs. I abs…

I remember being pretty skeptical of “dockerizing” applications when it first becamee popular. But I’ve come around to it, if for no other reason than it provided an easily underst…

Can you imagine if Apple’s software was on the same level as their hardware?

It’s been posted many times, I think mostly due to it’s association to Mitchell Hashimoto. It’s left as an exercise the reader to determine why this is important.

The constant, exhausting, and frankly pointless changes to macos is really driving me back to rolling my own desktop on freebsd or linux. At least under that environment nothing ch…

Manowar are such a guilty pleasure of mine. They have a lot of very silly material, but hard to deny that Dark Avenger is anything but absolute art.

They also realize that adding two integers in a higher level language could look quite different when compiled depending on the target hardware, but they still understand what is h…

If you go to most Fortune 500 companies they will have a whole team of people dedicated to running an IdP and doing integrations. Most people on these teams cannot explain oauth, o…

It’s honestly embarrassing that no leader at apple has enough juice to get this done.

It doesn’t seem completely out of the question that he could have received a contagious cancer. There are examples in the animal world. I believe Tasmanian devils spread facial tum…

It accepted tardigrade which I thought was interesting.

Interfaces used to be “battle ship grey” which I loved.

Total capitulation by Apple.
