The "boom" ranges on our snow map for this storm are rather large. Here's why:

Metro has proactively identified 33 critical bus routes that will continue operating during the winter storm to ensure support for customers traveling to hospitals & life-sustaining facilities. These routes will run with varying frequencies. Full info: wmata.com/about/news/M...

Sleet is inevitable Sunday-freezing rain is what worries us. Sleet bounces off trees & power lines. Freezing rain glazes them & that’s when outages become a risk. It's like a sprinkled donut (sleet) vs a glazed donut (freezing rain). Freezing rain risk increases late afternoon, esp E/SE of Beltway

Nightly numbers are in. Strong snow signal remains. ❄️ Most models show 7-12 inches around Beltway. Euro AI system avg leading pack at 16 inches. GFS suite the snow-lover special. But warm air aloft could bring problematic ice, especially SE of DC. ❄️ Still snowy 🧊 Ice in play ⚠️ Fine-line forecast

I just learned about Two-Headed Dragons senseis.xmp.net?TwoHeadedDra.... According to Sensei's Library, "There does not seem to be a word for this sort of eye (apparently false, but actually real, due to connections in two directions)" I propose "Dragon Eye"! #gogame #baduk #weiqi #igo

Signal-boosting that the game Go (🌐 Baduk, Weiqi, Igo) is good for brain development! If you’re interested in learning, GoMagic.org is great. I also highly recommend the new Legend of Baduk app from Korea: iPhone / iPad: apps.apple.com/us/app/legen... Android: play.google.com/store/apps/d...

A mentee asked me for a relational database & SQL intro lesson. I made them a quick-start with explanations, pictures, practice questions, next steps, etc! It really helped. Now I’m sharing it with you! 😊 Send to someone who wants a good quick-start to RDBs & SQL. #100Devs #webdev #sql #edusky

@mapcenter.com Vishnu just showed me his photo of the DC Cherry Blossoms map and IT'S SO COOL! 😍

I can't recommend the AlphaGo documentary enough. It's not just about AI or the game of Go, it's about the human spirit. It's an incredible piece of film. You can watch it in full on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXuK... #gogame #baduk #weiqi #ai

It's the Resilient Coders Demo Day tomorrow! If you're a recruiter or looking to hire Software Engineering talent, please attend! It's Thursday 5/15 at 5pm. 🧵 See the thread below for a preview of some of the great projects you'll see! Follow @resilientcoders.bsky.social #RCDemoDay Register here:

I’ve been tracking news on the AirBorne exploit since I saw @lowleveltv.bsky.social’s video on it. Update your devices, including any AirPlay-compatible peripherals.

Not sure how this cute Field Sparrow ended up in the Coachella feed but I’m not complaining lol #birdsky #birds #birding (Nice photo by the way, @dreamcatcher01.bsky.social !)

My dev term of the day. Slopsquatting (verb): When malware is published under commonly hallucinated package names generated by LLMs. It’s similar to typosquatting except bad actors will target LLM hallucinations (slop) instead of typos. Use caution! #opensource #webdev #typescript #javascript

I can’t wait to try Zod 4! So many improvements! I’m particularly happy about axing ZodEffects so I can interleave .refine with the other standard validators. Nice simplification of the API. #typescript #javascript #webdev

Proud of myself for having a super productive day! Here’s what I did: 1. Took 3 bird species surveys for citizen science 2. Had a long coffeechat with a previous professor of mine 3. Did practice pair programming with a mentee who has a bunch of interviews coming up Feeling tired in a good way!

Guess what?? The nonprofit I mentor at, Resilient Coders, is on Bluesky!! Follow them please!! They do INCREDIBLE work helping people break into tech by teaching full-stack #javascript. They PAY the students, because sometimes even free is too expensive when you’ve got bills and no time to learn.

Every member of our free @resilientcoders.bsky.social software engineering cohort must get a paid client. After 5 weeks of HTML, CSS, & JS they made $40,370! Here are the contract amounts: 10000 6000 5000 2000 1500 1200 x 2 1000 x 3 900 850 800 x 2 700 x 2 670 600 500 x 3 400 x 3 350 x 5

Devs, question for you: How often do you use black-box testing where you do Input Domain Modeling and Input Space Partitioning and all that jazz? #typescript #javascript #webdev #coding

PSA There are a lot of fake E-ZPass Toll Violation Notice spam texts going around. I've gotten several. Do not click their nefarious links. They might have ".com" in the middle but if you look closely it'll say weird stuff at the end like "e-zpass .com .world" with some other letters mixed in, etc.

PSA: Smaller pull requests / merge requests are easier to review!

Script to download your Kindle books! Soon you won’t be able to anymore. #javascript

Oh yes please. Awesome ACLU stuff on sale, and the money goes to a good cause! LINK:

Any suggestions?

I’m proud to say that I’ve never - not a single time - posted an image on Bluesky without #AltText 😎

“I have more power than I give myself credit for, and today I’m going to use it!” Inspiring line from the Driller in Deep Rock Galactic, of all places 💙 ROCK AND STONE! #quote

I mustache you a question… can eyebrows your fridge? #superbowl

Look I know functional state machine diagrams can be useful, but in what world is this easier than just reading the code lol

“While the bill’s name may sound like a step toward forest conservation, it does the opposite. The Fix Our Forests Act bypasses key environmental laws that protect ecosystems and restricts public input and scientific oversight. It prioritizes logging interests” #birdsky #nature #wildlife

In the coffeeshop this morning I heard an elderly gentleman explaining to his friends how to play Uno “You know those wilds and +4’s? You want to save those up so you can go after someone like click click click click click!” My heart is full

Gifts For The Homeless is now on Bluesky!! Let's show them some love. @gfth-dc.bsky.social I just donated btw, maybe some others will join me or help spread the word? 💙 gfth.org/donating #nonprofit #fundraising #washingtondc #dc

Guide to run DeepSeek-R1 100% locally & privately (or any #foss LLM): - Install Ollama ollama.com - Run `ollama run deepseek-r1` Now you can chat in your CLI! Browse models at ollama.com/search. Use in code: `npm i ollama` JavaScript / TypeScript, `pip install ollama` Python. 🧵 #webdev #100devs

Thanks for the shout [email protected]! We're obviously biased but think Most Wanted underrated gem!

Just going to drop this here.. LibreOffice is a free and open source office suite www.libreoffice.org #foss #opensource

Underrated perk of using DuckDuckGo as your search engine is being able to say "ask the duck" instead of "google it" 😂

I love that Bluesky lets you bookmark searches! Open Bluesky in a browser (web or mobile), search something, then add a bookmark to save it. One particularly handy search I have bookmarked is “from:me 📌 ToDo” so I can see all my replies I have pinned to do. #BlueskyTips

Brandon Sanderson’s explanation of survivorship bias is so witty and fun. Great way to explain it! 🧵

Shoutout to the board game Most Wanted! It's one of those rare games that scales extraordinarily well from 2 up to 8 players. It's poker-based, so you can get in on the action even when it's not your turn. I discovered it at #MAGFest last year and we've been having a blast with it ever since!!

I just donated, thank you if you do too!

Angular is on Bluesky now!

Happy MLK Day everyone! 💙

“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant.” - Martin Luther King Jr. #MLK #quote

Anyone have any wholesome or upbeat account recommendations to follow, like this one? I want to make a list or feed!

This thread has some really great Bluesky tools and resources. Also the official curation has a “submit your project” button!

Can we bring back functional lapels?? I've been traveling with a casual blazer and I've _definitely_ wished I could flip and button them up for extra warmth! Fantastic thread, @dieworkwear.bsky.social! Do you know if blazers with functional lapels exist today?

It’s so fitting that the VA state flag is becoming a symbol for resistance in South Korea! #virginia #history #flags #vexillology

Virginia's state motto is legendary: “Sic Semper Tyrannis” — “Thus Always to Tyrants” On the Virginia seal and flag, this motto is paired with an image depicting the Roman goddess Virtus literally standing on a fallen tyrant! #virginia #flag #history #usa #flags #vexillology

@t3.gg’s Ghostty video might finally convince me to use something other than the default terminals 😅 ghostty.org
