The deepest desire. #TI4 #boardgames

Got some of the N1 #Nerf toys for my son's birthday, and I was disappointed to see that these aren't the toys of my childhood. I remember battles behind couch cushions, with foam darts. These are more like real bullets, and they hurt. Maybe I'm just old but, this wasn't the fun I hoped it would be.

These pancake flat sprinter stages are a real slog. #TourdeFrance I think they should do less of this sort of stages (Stage 3) and more punchy stuff (like Stage 2). Everyone in the peloton knows its a sprint finish and it's like 180km with very little interest in the race other than the scenery.

Nasty crash, but not really anyone's fault. Just a victim of circumstances.

Classic corporate move to buy out Eurosport for the #TourDeFrance, charge users £30/mo to watch the race, and then kill the ad free stream. This is why we can't have nice things, these broadcasting conglomerates are allowed to pay millions for exclusive rights, and then have to recoup their costs.

If you are looking for an easy way to integrate the new Embedded PhotoPicker, have I got a library for you! Check out the alpha-01 release of the androidx PhotoPicker library. #android #dev developer.android.com/jetpack/andr...

Meta & Yandex apps are indistinguishable from malware. I'm not a lawyer, but this isn't accidental. This is intentional, invasive surveillance. Vote with your usage of these products and services. #tech #android

Once bread has become toast, it can never be bread again.

Nice take. As someone who is/was an AI skeptic, I do think think these systems are useful, just like a text editor is useful for writing code, a tool that combined with judgement and effort. It is not a solution all by itself. It will completely destroy a lot of developer jobs though. #ai #dev

Rosetta technique is making some progress!! Probably my best one yet. #coffee

Crazy summer thing my wife just pointed out to me as expats living in the UK: Packages of hot dogs and hot dog buns contain the same amount.

Been working on pouring a Rosetta pattern, making some progress, I think. #coffee

Long overdue, languages should support a variety of development environments.

It is called curl

In my mind, this is exactly the problem with current tech / founder / startup culture. Airbnb already has its problem to solve, but somehow its not enough. This sort of expand our offering is such typical MBA non-sense. Execute well. Stop trying to boil the ocean. #business #tech #startup

I didn't know I needed this thread. But I do. #andor

This might be one of my favourite 2 min bullet games I've played. lichess.org/UlZY0qe3/black

I'm absolutely loving #andor right now.

Happy #andor day to you as well.

It is both awesome and completely insane that #sqlite is in the public domain. The documentation is incredible. The performance? Incredible. Oh, and just in case you need a full text search engine in your database with zero configuration, it's got that too. (FTS5) And they give it away for free.

The joy when you get 3 more episodes of #Andor when you were only expecting 1.

"Breaking:" is becoming more overused nowadays than "epic" circa 2013

It's wild to me an airport as big as Heathrow only has two runways

Tax day. Just another reminder of how the US government fails its citizens by refusing to make this simple. My UK taxes were done for me by my employers reports to the government and all I had to do was confirm everything looked good. Took 5 minutes. This is day 2 of "working on" my US taxes.

I'd argue its anything to do with timezone offsets.

Pint season.

Best use of #AI to date. Burn in hell, AI scrapers. www.theregister.com/2025/03/21/c...

"When your code compiles? It felt better than being loved" Not mine, saw this on a random video but it's so perfect. #dev

First nice #spring day of the year in London today. 🌱 19C feels luxurious.

Alien Romulus had so much going for it right up until it got ridiculous.

#BorisSpassky being remembered today over his World Championship match against Fisher during the Cold War (1972) will hopefully remind everyone that we are all people from different places and we likely have a ton of things in common with the people we are told are our adversaries. #chess

Seems to me like new programmers are getting further and further away from the command line as everyone tries to lift all development activities into an LLM or vscode. There's a lot of understanding to be found in cli, and it's a development environment that follows you your entire career. #dev

Giving this a spin. One thing I really enjoy about LPs is that you listen to the album in order rather than a station or playlist which jumps all over the place. #music #vinyl

My son's first experience with Christmas Carol is A Muppet Christmas Carol, featuring Michael Caine (!!!!) as Ebeneezer Scrooge!

Best Xmas meme so far

Lichess does yearly recaps now! Apparently like everyone else, I'm a bullet addict.

Christmas holidays are off to a nice start.

Congrats to Gukesh, after winning #WorldChessChampionship #fide #DingGukesh

Dumbledore handing out points at the year end feast to take it away from Slytherin is just the worst kind of preferential treatment. These things are so political, anyway.

So many tactics, so little time to calculate. Only one move holds for ding with ~5 minutes to make 10 moves #DingGukesh #fide #chess
