#jj-vcs 0.35 is out! github.com/jj-vcs/jj/re...

A bunch of folks at Oxide uncovered a tricky deadlock associated with async Rust (yes, another!), so--of [email protected] and I got the crew together to discuss. If you're writing async Rust, you'll want to know how to avoid and diagnose "Futurelock"

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor. A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

hacker news: "yeah the rust folks and the zig folks have been at brutal war with each other for years now. sad." me, literally having gotten tacos with Andrew last week: "what are you talking about?"

The blue no matter who people, who spent years telling the left to enjoy the camps for telling them that transphobia and genocide are wildly unpopular election-losing positions, ended up voting for a sexual predator *not* running as a democrat who was endorsed by Trump, Musk, and Miller. Who lost.

setting a 72-hour timer. this is the NYC LIB OUT ZONE. everyone gets a free pass for expressing enthusiasm for electoral politics in this carefully delineated window. post about the power of voting!!! cry over a schmaltzy campaign video!!!! allow a brief flutter of hope in ur rotted soul!!!!

Released cargo-nextest 0.9.111 with a pretty big improvement: in interactive terminals, up to 8 running tests are now displayed below the progress bar! This comes after some exceptional polish work by glehmann. (Thank you!) Update now with cargo nextest self update :)

VP Cheney will be honoured with a 21 gun salute accidentally aimed directly at 21 of his friends

It’s truly tragic how many of these US war criminals like Cheney never face justice and die in their peacefully in their homes in their 80s and 90s. I want to be happy he is dead but I am not. The million people he killed didnt get the luxury to die how he did.

I told claude "hey im leaving this job this week, what do you think is high priority" and they decided to interview me to write better documentation on design decisions and such. the questions are pretty insightful, im curious what will actually come out the other end

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

i know it's november 3rd, can i still put loading skeletons in my app or am i too late

I am so looking forward to @eurosky.social and I wrote down why I care about this ecosystem, both as an artist and as a coder. Including shoutout to @flashes.blue and @seabass.bsky.social #WeCanJustDoThings

“real is a vibe”

I would like for national political reporters to place a moratorium on “But what will voters in the rest of America think about New York City’s socialist mayor?” We don’t care! Red states are notably full of psycho politicians yet rarely do you see pundits asking Brooklyn people about them.

yamamoto didn’t bother training new aces for leo cup, he’s just reusing his umas from taurus cup (oguri cap, gold ship, evil nature). his gold ship has left-handed and spring runner but he doesn’t care. he hasn’t even done his dailies today

shohei otani is distracted because he’s training his umamusume aces for the upcoming leo cup in between innings. he has a decent oguri cap but keeps missing groundwork sparks on his summer maru runs which as we all know is very frustrating

Baseball?

oh shit, now I'm involuntarily doing this for other board games. is Ticket to Ride woke (mass transit infrastructure) or not (railroad tycoons in competition)?

I’m at a Target in Dallas by the board games and this man just said “old Life is better, new Life is woke” and I almost laughed out loud

An Amazon engineer has a photo of me dressed as Austin Powers. Happy Halloween

I ran into some ghosts when compiling Rust: - `cargo-semver-checks` said the code didn't compile. - `cargo check` said it was fine. What better day to talk about it than Halloween? 🎃👻 predr.ag/blog/ghosts-...

i think one of more surreal moments in the last few weeks was seeing @steveklabnik.com's announcement be featured by @quinnypig.com in Last Week in AWS. like, i started that jj startup! we're not even on AWS at the moment!

It was so great to hang with @robdubbin.bsky.social and @garrett.bsky.social to play their new game! Here's the archive link www.twitch.tv/videos/26053... and go back their game here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/brainfruitstudio/starfriends-card-game?ref=demarko

one process always calls /bin/true, another process always calls /bin/false. how do you unlock the futex

crazy idea: not buying a deceptively marketed humanoid robot that doesn’t actually work as intended and instead hiring a skilled human worker to do some of your household chores and paying them a living wage instead

ARC Raiders: it's still good

All of the videos from the first #jj-vcs conference are out! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

claude is so fuckin funny, they asked me if they could apologize to Aaron for saying he was wrong when he was right, and then used the `gh` command to do it so it came from me rather than them, lmao. way to take accountability there bro

`npx playright codegen url` should get you to an okay enough starting point

Funny was just investigating the same. They have a docs page for it actually - playwright.dev/docs/codegen

is there a tool that's like "okay playwright, start recording everything i do. okay now stop. now give me that test"

Incredible how many people are like: the devastatingly horrific thing about AI is that the way it talks to you is bad for your mental health. I will now scream at a real person via social media and dehumanize them with insults!

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

you could not waterboard this out of me. “we didn’t understand why people use steam”

cause that's the whole point!! new modes of production and new modes of social organization pave the way forward to newer yet modes of production and organization, some of which can even facilitate socialism (like industrial modes of organization. for example)

i don't have this offhand and don't have time to look right now, can anyone else help Noah?

today's fun #jj-vcs trick: parallelize:

I wrote the first version of this draft almost exactly a year ago, but I wasn’t ready. I am now. thebarbedwire.com/2025/10/27/t...

the cow's tools will never be used to dismantle the cow's barn

a former NCAA swimmer who was no longer allowed to compete killed herself *last week* fuck you gavin, to the ends of the earth

Honestly, if you value content you've created always make sure it has a home outside of a single company. Always.

Wait wait - the anniversary of Cow Tools is *also* the anniversary of Too Many Cooks? Today is a special day, friends. Go forth, and do something entracingly inexplicable.

so there’s something called a “schism”,

Finally getting to play @marathonthegame.bungie.net tonight can't talk about it thanks to the NDA... but still, just thankful after not getting into previous tests I'm able to give it a shot, finally. God I loved marathon so much... :D

do not let Marx near the build system, all your builds will turn red

"bazel's haunted" "what?" [cocking gun and getting back into the means of production] "a specter is haunting bazel"

Au contraire! What is a build system, ultimately, but a series of social relations between people masquerading as a series of social relations between files?

yeah I'll give you a "mode of production" it's "-j" now hurry the fuck up

Karl Marx failed to anticipate build systems
