This is stupid. There is no better time to use your phone than when taking a shit. For years, that was the only context in which I read Twitter, and that still holds true today for…

I love this font. I think it is probably the only coding font I have ever actually purchased.

I have always wondered what this OS looks like. They have an incredibly detailed website with zero screenshots.

What? Of course... of course the dog is conscious. Did you mean dogs don't have values and judgements? I suspect they do, and those might be much more different than dog consciousn…

"coding is largely solved" and "our app uses Electron" are incompatible, self-refutational statements

I like to think I'm part of the reason the bots use em dashes so much, since I've been using them — or the ASCII "--" that we used to have to type to represent them in the pre UTF-…

2025 xmas day, was at my wife's parents' house in rural Japan, my kids were all playing with their cousins, I was posted up with my laptop just listening to some podcast about the …

This fixes a dozens-of-times-per-day annoyance for me. The grid is good, but even better is the instant virtual display switching. Nowhere is the death-by-a-thousand-paper-cuts ann…

No, he's stated the opposite, e.g. https://x.com/jarredsumner/status/2058283214981251080?s=46 But AFAICT he's never suggested they reviewed all the code, and that they didn't seems…

And, haven't you also been doing so since around the turn of the millennium? So, you might also be repped writ large in their their training data... (;^_^)

OK now I reverse my reversal; you — and original me — are/am right: read Deepness first. First! haha

yeah, but substack is mostly just another twitter low-engagement farm also, your last-line worldview... i mean i get it, but... just basically sounds like the twitter origin story …

i miss smart people writing blog posts that stopped after twitter and went asymptotically downhill from there approaching, but never quite literally getting to the point of eating …

running out of money, for an open source project of almost any kind, is safer than "running into money" with the wrong strings attached (still reserving judgement on Bun, though — …

Oh. Well, then, yes I agree. It certainly does remain to be proven if anybody can make "Node, but better" a business. Certainly the recent layoffs¹ of ~half-or-so of the Deno team …

I think the Anthropic acquisition means that Bun isn't in that business anymore. Bun is still fixing fundamental Node problems, but that's no longer the business . The business val…

That is probably true, and I was assuming that if you read A Deepness in the Sky , you would go on to read A Fire Upon the Deep . But I got it backwards. While A Deepness in the Sk…

OK. But without changing programming laguages, "fix some fundamental Node problems" vs "don't fix those problems, just run them faster, and maybe inline the most popular dependenci…

lol — what you're saying doesn't make sense to me, but I'm sure it makes sense to somebody What I was specifically referring to is Deno (originally) trying to fix the (glaring, fun…

well to me that would still count as "it sucks" but sure anthropic might not agree

I agree it sounds like that, but (having that same thought) I kept the temp in the living room 20℃ or less for a week but nah My best guess at this point is the 2025 LG TVs have so…

yeah — i have my kids on Macs, bc I'm lazy, but just the ones with only two USB ports and nothing else — otherwise never-ending, unresolvable nightmare unless it's just some Apple …

So true. I had this gaming PC — and once a year doing excel and dropbox exchanges with my accountant, but other than that, gaming PC — and it never had an issue, from 2020 or 2021 …

Vernor Vinge has some hits and some misses, but A Deepness in the Sky (best to just take the plunge and read it without googling — it's good either way, but better if you don't eve…

Well "slop" is doing a lot of work there. If it's all incomprehensible garbage-code that no human can understand? Then... yeah very marginal value to me, in terms of hacking on it.…
