Saw this on Lemmy c/TIL and had to post it here. Never knew this existed! I assume it’s terrible and that’s why no one’s ever heard of it, but I’m still going to try and look it up when I get home tonight.

this made its way across my INBOX/feed somehow. it strikes me that as organizations drive to flatten their structure and the c-suite drives to get the AI to do the management that there will be a market for tools that you can run as an individual contributor and get a read as to what your performance looks like to management and how you can send the right signals to the AI overlords.

If anything, my career long use of dog metaphors summon, I hope, both the attributes of loyalty, but also the refusal to relent pulling at something. So… it’s been 16 years since I took a dive into the myth of humans processing visual information 60000 times faster than text. And I never let up in […]

Math is beautiful – check it out on Codepen At WeAreDevelopers, we love to code. We love the concept of creating something from nothing, finding a solution for a problem and create something people can get excited about. That’s why we thought we’d give you a challenge to show what you can do with an […]

I'm doing a little project on rss.chat today and dusting off the cobwebs of my brain. Since I last worked on this project, I have converted Frontier to run on modern OSes and written a whole new app. Only three months, but I have no recollection, even reading the code isn't helping much. This is when it's incredibly good to have Claude Code on the job, I can ask it to guide me through the process we worked out which feels like it was 15 years ago instead of 15 weeks. It has complete recall. And even though it didn't work on Frontier, that was a different Claude project, it was able to debug something that broke in the build script in the interim. I've spent the whole year teaching Claude how to be me. Is that a source of immortality? I won't be around to figure that part out.

Môžete si nechať svojich zženštilých elfov, ohraných orkov, šialené, kurva, nepochopiteľné kúzla s cestovaním v čase a celé to „high fantasy“ ošahávanie zadkov. Podľa mňa nič neprekoná pôvodného gangstera medzi barbarskými zmrdmi – Conana Barbara, nakopávača rití. A nie, nehovorím o tých Schwarzeneggerových filmoch z osemdesiatych rokov, v ktorých Arnold dal päsťou do tváre hipisákovi… Read More »Conan z Cimmerie – Najtvrdší barbar všetkých čias

One thing Adam didn't ruin: coming out

While not a formal coming out, the actor — known for Adam Ruins Everything and his own podcast Factually! —has been increasingly opening up about his sexuality after the end of his 15-year relationship with his ex-partner, BoJack Horseman production designer Lisa Hanawalt.

That’s a really fun paragraph lol. When I was first coming to terms with my sexuality all those years ago, finding out celebrities or even people I knew irl were queer made it so much easier.

I always had a hunch though. No straight guy has that much pizzazz.

Braintrust query: Why do you love Markdown? I have a theory why people love it so much -- simplicity. You can't hide any garbage in a Markdown file. You can answer on GitHub or Twitter. Didn't post on Masto or Bluesky because the prompt is 761 chars, over the limit for both systems. I think I'm finally done with truncating well-written prose to fit into one vendor's idea of what's enough text for me. I want to make that a distant memory. So another thing I love about Markdown -- no freaking character limit.

I really like the Apple TV show Small Prophets. It's silly and fun, but also intelligent and beautifully presented. Michael Palin of Monty Python is a supporting actor playing the main character's father. He's famous for a lot of Monty Python sketches, esp the one about the dead parrot. "He's not dead, he's pining for the fjords."

Ich hab in den letzten Wochen ziemlich viel an meinen Slashpages rumgebastelt. Ich liebe die Idee! Slashpages helfen dabei, ein Blog, seinen Hintergrund und die Person dahinter ein bisschen besser zu verstehen (frei nach @ix). Im Prinzip ist die Idee super simpel: einfach /about eingeben und man landet auf dem Profil. Um zu sehen, welche […]
