Everything is an object store if you stare at it long enough. Just like everything is a queue if you use it in anger enough. ergo, object stores are queues. Aka, let’s have a frank discussion about distributed systems for production use cases.

Chatting with someone about how life was simpler when we had `make world install` as the primary software deployment mechanism. They said: make is what taught us to skip reading stdout. And I had the realization that claude is the new make.

Tonight, I have deleted over 25000 emails going back to 2007. AMA.

AWS S3 is just over two decades old, and we still don't seem to have a lightweight object rename operation. I'm grumpy.

Fucking wild graphics. This is hilarious.

Today is the Transgender Day of Visibility and I'll take the opportunity to once again say that trans people matter, their lives have meaning, and what's being done to them by so many politicians and people in this country is wrong.

Every time I hear "data driven", this gif pops up in my head.

Whenever people talk about using model api tokens, I'm reminded of this Ron White bit. You will never note convince me of this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClQu...

You know. Why can’t we have human-sized Robot Wars games. I’d love to see a Rivian vs a Cybertruck, one with 57 spinning lawnmower blades on a shield-shaped bushhog and the other with a dainty flipper arm and flame throwers and the ability to hop sideways 10 feet.

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Whoever came up with this: 1. You’re a monster. 2. Who hurt you? 3. You should be ashamed.

Teledildonics has come a long way. (No comments, @jss1113.bsky.social)

Legitimate salvage.

It’s a chill Saturday morning.

Somehow I’ve managed to train our year old Aussie that she can come ask for “uppies” and we’ll abide and pull her up to snuggle. She’s now 45lbs. What have I done.

Best LinkedIn heading seen to date: SQL IN(“fluencer”) I’m not even mad. The guy deserves it. He really fits that mold.

Found something called a "Butterscotch Beer" from Flying Cauldron and it's very much like you're drinking a Wurther's Sarsaparilla. drinkreeds.com/products/fly...

Seriously, fuck whoever designed this captcha. It went on for two more pages.

this is *the* gas prices guy to follow fyi. his newsletter is really good too

Pour one out for the OG. There was no other Gimp as well known as him. deadline.com/2026/03/step...

And it brought about masterpieces like Deadwood Pancakes. youtu.be/47ZrtEmaENU

Deadwood was and is - if you'll pardon the expression - a fucking masterpiece.

How long before they go after Spark? Why yes, I did just say “Spark is the new COBOL”, I will not be taking questions. swikblog.com/ibm-stock-cr...

Yeet yeet! Skrrt! Yeet! Yeet! Skrrt! Hold up! Drop that!

I’m tempted to go back to this vending machine just to get some of the chip bags. I want to tell people “Eat a Bag of Dicks”.

Fuuuuuuu. This is gonna suck. And I wanted to do Yosemite this year. At least with Arches I know I can drive in the back way through the 4wd route.

my neighbor has a habit of saying "Do you think that, or do you know that?" whenever he's challenging someone's assertions that something is true/provable I'm about to start using that. I think.

Ok. Here's where I'm starting to find value in Claude Code: Give it a series of code bases. Give it example error logs. Start asking questions, rubberduck-style. It's more like a learning companion at this point. Big issue is making sure you choose the right repos to work through for context

I played a game of “how far can I drive 4600lbs of steel up a snowy trail” yesterday and lost. Misjudged how deep the snow was about halfway up and buried myself almost to the frame. Took a bit to pull out and turn around, but got out safe. Hard pack was fine, but was postholing as I waked around.

Cats. Cats are my agents at home when I get overwhelmed with social anxiety.

At no point was I prepared for any subsequent word coming in either of these skeets.

Mechanical Turk is BACK, baby! This is the origin story of human copper tops. rentahuman.ai

I'm tempted to take every incident RCA writeup and postmortem, and pass it through ChatGPT to make it sound like William Faulkner. Very tempted. Very. Tempted.

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

hell yeah, brother. NES Generation represent!

Unpossible! There’s no way law-abiding government agents would commit crime. It would go against their strict moral, ethical, and legal code!

I was told to increase the pieces of flair on my uniform.

King of the Hammers is Burning Man for off-roaders. I will not be taking questions.

Two images, same vibe. "Let me see your war face!"

This post is most definitely not dogshit.

Plot twist: Y2K38 will be the event that saves humanity.

Small PSA that Misen has a bunch of their older-model knives on sale for half off. I use them at home and at work and ignore all the line cook jock boys who insist you need fancy Japanese knives: misen.com/collections/...

You heard it here first: pspm: poop snake package manager. Take that, npm!

Well ... that's unexpected. I guess we'll see how the remaining charges play out.

You can vibe code your way to a working prototype. You cannot vibe code or one-shot your way to a competitive product that works at scale. The hard part isn't writing code; it's the architectural supervision.

But can it render DOOM?

Please tell me someone already thought of the slogan “No more Mr. ICE guy” for Bovino’s demotion. I can’t be the only one who thought this. I really can’t. youtu.be/PE1vGT-hlLI

Serious question: when you’re watching a preventable work disaster unfold in real time do you go for the cheesy popcorn or the caramel?
