Realized that I’m taking the midnight train FROM Georgia tonight

Shh the Shinkansen are asleep

With all the insanity around flying and because i'm a massive train nerd, I learned last week that there is indeed a sleeper train from NYC to ATL and I immediately decided to take the flight refund and take the train instead. So here I am at hour 1 of an 18 hour journey down south.

⏰ Counting down to our first OTel NYC meetup! We can’t wait to meet everyone, talk all things observability, and just have a good time together. Haven’t RSVP’d yet? There’s still time 👉

Running errands in Astoria and saw this awesome contra flow bike lane! Not pictured is a line up of bikes using it!

I think it goes Millenial, Gen Z, Gen Alpha and then Gen AI right?

when did github's real-time updates on PRs break? It used to be that when i was looking at a PR and someone approved or commented i would see it without needing to reload the page. Same thing with test failures, I needed to reload the page to see if the tests succeeded.

If you can’t handle me at my lava, you don’t deserve me at my lantula

Watching the @hellgatenyc.com livestream is the first time I’ve maybe ever enjoyed watching any sort of election night coverage.

begging CNCF to not go with the worst messaging platform out there. Discord is responsible for so many of my worst experiences online

The frustrating thing about this energy, especially in Boston, is that it results in worse pedestrian AND cyclist outcomes. Living in the south end, residents fought against the street improvements which added bike lanes, removed car lanes and extended sidewalks!

oh okay then. thank you have a nice day.

no better feeling than merging someone else's pr and thanking them for doing something you didn't have time to do

Bike infra in Boston is getting pretty amazing! Just rode from deep Cambridge (fresh pond) to Coolidge corner in under 30 mins on ~80% separated bike lanes! Made especially nice by the open streets closure on the Cambridge side of the Charles. Trip cost $3 on a blue bike vs a $2.90 train (1hr)

if you’re an open source maintainer in nyc and wanna join for coffee with a small group of other maintainers in Brooklyn at 2pm DM me :)

Thinking recently about how the internet became real life in the food world before anything else. So many early blogs were for recipes and restaurants, then SEO became make or break.

This 100% would get me back into playing games. I miss like small games that I can just play casually for a few hours. I do not like that it feels my only options today are 90+ hour games or attention sucking mini games.

Friends who are into puzzles, a friend of mine made this neat fun game as a little html experiment. Please check it out! dialin.fun

At this point, I gotta assume they bet against themselves and are throwing the game

Update: it IS great

word to the wise, if your tailwind is fighting you for dynamic classnames in react, use the safelist in the config and save four hours of frustration safelist: [ { pattern: /col-start-\d+/ }, { pattern: /col-end-\d+/ }, { pattern: /row-start-\d+/ }, { pattern: /row-end-\d+/ }, ]

The 6th (and last of 2024!) NYC Systems talks are next Thursday! We've got @jaronoff.com of Omlet and @benesch.bsky.social of Materialize speaking. :) nycsystems.xyz/december-202...

Snoring! In the quiet car. Asleep! On the train.

Why use a stairmaster when you can just go the wrong way up an escalator

This is exactly what you would say if you wanted to reserve a washing machine

Baking TL cleanse… made these mini bika ambon from Christopher Tan’s most recent book. They came out way better than I expected and I FINALLY got tunnels!!

Whoops! Well there’s always observability day? 😅 🤞🏼

Heard a group of lads in line for a great standing sushi in Tokyo say they were only going to stick with tuna and salmon. Said it would be a shame to only get those at a spot like this, recommended a few other easy favorites. They ordered a bunch of new stuff and were delighted.

Once again feeling with cursed with knowledge that I must keep to myself

With all the added traffic here I finally have barely more followers than people I’m following which means I can leave this app and chalk everything up to a W

With your help, we did it! We hit the 3,800 subscriber mark! That means a new podcast — focused on interviews in which people discuss very specific minutiae of games — is on the way. Next goal, the 4,000 tier, is a big one. Let's make it happen

Seeing a lot of nerves here so a little bit of advice for people starting to lose it over the election: tonight you should go to your closet, grab an apron, and cook dinner. For 30 minutes to an hour there will be something that you are entirely in control of and it will make you feel good.
