It may seem as though the worst excesses of DOGE have passed. The reality is, the whole government is DOGE now.

I should mention that you can follow my daveverse blog, which I write using WordLand, on Mastodon -- @scripting@daveverse.org. Mastodon preserves links and styling, and doesn't seem to have a size limit. I can edit my posts and you get the updates. So Mastodon kind of informally has become a blogging system, which I totally applaud. It checks a lot of the boxes on my textcasting manifesto. Slowly the world is starting to make sense.

On April 7, the New Yorker and Time ran nearly identical stories that might be better described as press releases for the de-extinction company Colossal Biosciences. The two stories differed slightly: The New Yorker's headline proclaimed "The Dire Wolf Is Back," whereas Time...

Glitch announced they are shutting down hosting. Kudos to them for allowing redirects after everything winds down. That’s more than most companies do:

In the coming days, your dashboard will get a new feature to set up redirects for your project subdomains, so all your links will keep working. Make sure your redirects are set up before December 31, 2025. (We’ll make sure they stay active at least through the end of 2026.)

It can be hard to tell when it is safe to officially declare a bad baseball team a historically bad one. You usually kind of know it when you see it, but passing certain mile markers allows you to affirmatively point the finger and declare: These men belong in the pisspot of...

A couple of little tweaks to Daytona. It now has a history menu which it saves in local storage. It's useful to be able to come back to a recent search. It remembers the last 50 searches this way. Also had to add a little hack that turns off other copies of Daytona when another one launches. Use a local storage trick, save a random string to a fixed location, and every second check to see if its value has changed. If it has, another copy of Daytona has launched, so I redirect to the home page of my blog.

Built up the courage to run Redis’s MEMORY PURGE in production this morning. Sadly made no difference. This week I’ve been running a cleanup script that has trimmed nearly 10 GB of memory usage, but still lots reserved by the system.

I used to pride myself on being able to keep up with almost everything. New programming languages, frameworks, APIs, just tech in general. Micro.blog is a unique platform in part because it weaves together so many different things. But the pace of AI is too much. I can barel...

Has Harvard considered opening a satellite campus outside the United States? If the Trumps keep making demands, like demanding that they stop admitting students from outside the US, the students the US government rejects could still go to Harvard, be taught by the same teachers, collaborate and socialize with other Harvard-quality students, without interference from Trump. I imagine there are a few countries that would be willing to help. If you want to really make a point, open it in China.
