Matt Miller, an on-air NFL Draft analyst for ESPN, is presently recovering from, among other injuries, the emergency amputation of his left arm. Probably there are not too many kinds of trouble in Miller's life that measure up against that one. But trouble is waiting, and no...

Wow, the June Emacs Carnival gathered 22 entries on the topic of Underappreciated Emacs built-ins. Looking for something to write about next? "Programming" is the Emacs Carnival theme for July. Thanks to Ross for hosting in June and Andy for hosting in July. Also, there was...

Scott Wiener, who is running to replace Nancy Pelosi, was surrounded by a small group of protesters shouting invective before a transgender march in San Francisco.

Today's song: "July is dressed up and playing her tune."

James Talarico, Democrat running for Senator in Texas reminds me of Matt Mullenweg, who also happens to be from Texas. He speaks as confidently as Obama, about the right things, wants to run our government like a freaking government. To think that's a campaign issue in the United States of America says why I did not celebrate our 250th on Saturday. I tried to imagine what it will be like when we start becoming ourselves again. ;-)

We just implement Cute Paste in the new product and I keep hitting a limit that it has. I love the feature, in most cases. But here I've set up an <img src="xxx">, the xxx reserving space for the URL that I'm now going to get the URL. When I come back I select xxx and paste, and in its place is the full url in text, linked to itself. I laugh, no feature is free, there's always a tradeoff and sometimes it breaks something that worked before.

Just a day after FIFA rescind Folarin Balogun's red-card suspension so that the USMNT striker could play against Belgium in Monday night's round of 16 match in Seattle, a decision that elicited reactions ranging from joyful to horrified depending on your rooting interests, t...

If there could have been a story to rival England's Jordan Henderson getting yellow carded and then breaking his arm without actually playing, it would have been Brian Serven homering in the ninth inning of Marlins-Athletics to complete the comeback di tutti comebacks, and that's even allowing for the fact that England-Mexico at the Azteca was arguably a more momentous event than Marlins-Athletics no matter where it was played.

That it was played in West Sacramento just added to the mutant beauty of a day in which the Marlins...

... got seven innings of perfect pitching from Eury Pérez and provided him with a seemingly insurmountable 8-0 lead.

The Fun Shortage Is Real, and It’s Making America Miserable (gift link). “With fewer places to relax and socialize, and steeper prices for entry, having fun is quantifiably harder than it used to be.”

The Arts and Business Council of Greater Boston has raised nearly half of its initial renovation budget and says more than 100 prospective tenants have expressed interest.

The Trump admin discontinued the CDC’s highly successful Tips From Former Smokers campaign, ending one of the most effective anti-smoking programs ever created. For more than a decade, the ads showed the real consequences of tobacco use not actors, but real people whose lives had been changed.

Trevor spent his first years at Louisiana State Penitentiary in solitary confinement, detained 23 hours a day in a cell barely bigger than a king-size mattress, time he now considers wasted, since he could have been meditating.

Villains who live in opulent, remote modernist houses may have been a cliché since the last century, but given Hollywood’s addiction to the tried and true, they do still turn up now and again. Unsurprisingly, few filmmakers have managed to use them anywhere near as memorably as Alfred Hitchcock did. Think back to North by Northwest, that […]

"Rory Feldman was accused of deceiving, defrauding, and stealing. But he says he’s been the target of a relentless smear campaign by a 'magic mafia.'"

Unexpectedly, my favorite part of Micro.blog’s email newsletters is that I get an email with all my posts from the last week. It would be useful even if I was the only subscriber. Monday morning is a great time to quickly reflect on what was happening last week before moving on.

In April, Andrej Karpathy published a GitHub gist file called “LLM Wiki,” a brief text document designed to help one

The post Andrej Karpathy, Google and Garry Tan agree Markdown is the answer, but they’re not solving the same problem appeared first on The New Stack.

Andrew, this is what I changed that paragraph to.

There isn't very much I'd have to do beyond adding two Atom elements to my feed, and an Atom namespace declaration in the top line of the file. So it's not an easy thing to do, because I don't see the need for Atom to be a requirement for WebSub, and I'd like for them have had the maturity to do this a different way.
