What if: AI inserted a bug in every PR and you had to find it before you can approve

Just filled in my tax return and every single one of these issues I found last year is still broken. Self Assessment is such a mess

"The <time> element should actually do something" by Nolan Lawson nolanlawson.com/2025/12/14/t... Reminds me of the the recent session on @tantek.com.web.brid.gy's proposed <amount> at tpac. Maybe moz would experiment

Niklas Merz blogged a bit about WebViews related stuff at TPAC blog.merzlabs.com/posts/webvie... "One of big challenges I’d like to address is that WebViews, MiniApps, IWA and more need a shared space to work and communicate more effectively together." - yeah, totally agree.

insanely good thing to say when you enter a room

Kinda dumb counterfactual but the vibes around British business would be sooo much better if Deepmind and Arm were both listed companies on FTSE

New paper with @tomasp.net. Baseline: Operation-Based Evolution and Versioning of Data alarmingdevelopment.org?p=1886

I feel like there's an interesting model that could develop around @servo.org, with Blitz (blitz.is) and @tauri.app (+ Servo backend), along with a native Servo browser.

Some days, it's the little things that feel like a #LinkOfTheDay Like this #GitHub commit message about a #TypeScript issue : github.com/stack-auth/s... Grab your 🍿

The heist, "caught on film", had texture and warmth and an indescribable aura of authenticity that it would have lacked had it been shot with digital cameras.

Really refuse to let the worst people have ownership of techno-optimism

I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.

Apple 1992 vs 2025

This is from a satirical magazine written by Anthony Kenny and Julius Kovesi in Oxford, 1958-59. I have reviewed so many papers in the last 5 years that are basically just this.

This is a London attempt to trap unwary New Yorkers

goddamn /A Small Matter of Programming/ is such a good book. it was relevant when everyone was convinced that "visual programming" was the future and it's still relevant now that everyone is convinced "conversational programming" is the future

We’re in an “LLM bubble” not an AI bubble.

With the various ICE apps under pressure to be removed from app stores, why in hell aren't these apps just Web Apps (PWAs)? It's the super power of the web. You *can't* block it. And before you say "but apps are better" stop. We're not debating tech here we're debating free speech.

Workday literally fight for your job

ah the bicycle, the computer for the body

cannot begin to tell you how happy I am to have stumbled upon the Paris building shared by metal music fans and the union for metal workers, what a delight

lol was watching batman this morning and got hit with "ignore all previous instructions"

I think that the Internet should be weird again and we should just code things because they’re delightful. We should also code things so that the haters hate less

it is 2034, a phone costs $3700. a computer with both RAM and a GPU costs the price of a small car. small cars, incidentally, no longer have screens in them because it was too expensive and supply-constrained. cloudflare has been down all week. we are finally free.

one of the worst modern web trends: {sitename}.com - lots of useful information! what {sitename} is! {sitename}.com (logged in) - good fucking luck ever seeing that home page again! I hope you didn't want to read any of that information! here are your documents or whatever

Sure is weird how this keeps happening!

Look, all encryption is end-to-end if you let marketing define the ends.

a redditor's inspirational commentary on go

Britain’s largest long-term macro problem is a shortage of *private* investment. This is not new.

Multi-window support has just been added to the Servo WebView API, see it in action! 🪟🪟🪟

Don't Panic: Britain is not broken. The UK can do better, but we shouldn't be too gloomy about things. If you look at the stats, there's a lot to be happy with (including how happy we are): adamcorlett.com/2025/11/30/d...

What should happen is that: we publish multiple OBR forecasts in advance around different tax / spend scenarios and we can then have a proper debate about the state of the nations finances.

Definitely one of the cooler language playgrounds I've seen: pinky.cool.omg.lol

Look, I'm not saying it's correlated or anything but I had my flu and Covid shots yesterday and this morning I finally defeated the Last Judge on my first run

Across all the planets in the milky way the average number of trees per planet is at least 30

It was a three-man team that took the Grok hardpoint that day, and two of us were just there to guard the poet.Whistler was a sonnet slinger fresh from the Guatemalan meter wars, still waking up with the taste of a bloody metonym on his tongue.
