Always exciting to see the new UI design. That replaces the 5 prior new UI designs. That all live on in some form. Thus prompting this 6th one to unwind the other 5. Anyone who may be listening, please give us the strength this time.

I wonder if Lego paper bags are increasing support costs / dissatisfaction with lost pieces. Not transparent enough and it's tough to feel small pieces hanging out in the corners.

47 and finally coming around to soundboard apps

Thinking about taking the eurogame parodies train, boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/39...

Just do the thing. Don't delegate, nor do, stuff that needn't be done. Arguing about models and token costs for things that shouldn't be delegated/done, nah son.

So those double-wide reading thimbles are not annoying when trying to turn pages? I didn't think holding the page open was the trick... the motions that put thumb in the wrong place over & over are the trick. Motion being more difficult has not solved anything?

I enjoy IA as a typo of AI too much. ID?

It puts the garden snips in the laptop bag so tomorrow it can eat the work plants

When explaining in chat to be careful, saying "Careful with that <thing>, Eugene" takes the focus of being careful, with the thing, and puts it squarely on "who in this thread is Eugene?" Careful with that "using memes as brakes", Eugene.

Hexagons gonna hexagon

It's reply bots all the way down (and up.)

4, 6 7, 9 10 11 12, whatever, still can't use them for story points.

Grove St neon garden. I don't get to this side of Boise downtown much, didn't realize these were here!

The bowl of Halloween gum survives another year. We're never around, neighbors t-or-t elsewhere, so we've put this gum we got for a kids party years ago out every year. I try one, every year, they're still fine, but they were never good. 6 more pieces, 6 more years?

🤣 This slop mobile game company replying to every reviewer as "Dear Lord." English, as she is spoke.

Not me making a bracket to hang startling ghost decoration behind doors at eye level. 👻

Always with the agent trying to use Guava in new Java code, and giving me code to review that doesn't compile 🤦

Ok, so the cockles is where the children that form the heart gather, like a playground?

'tis the season 👻

rollingstone .com is increasingly a site I visit because its design is so 90s (when my newspaper designs for the computer were just newspapers, but on the computer.)

Oh yeah, well the You Just Replied To A Computer Reply Guy Store called, and they're all out of you!

True, although the hint in that proceeding room made this one really obvious for me the first time. I also like the sequences where the "wildlife" gives a hint about the action required, rather than the weapon, to make progress. youtu.be/oNIPE3wk0fA?...

Better leave the garage door open 🌱

Ah, the new Superman is legitimately good. I didn't expect so much goofing off!

So are there completeness of information thresholds that define "assume" vs. "presume" vs. "know?" I'm going with 1%, 2%, and 4% (but that feels high)

Smart avoidance of DRY is fine, but when AI spits out repetitive code, and comment, and readme, and test that repeats the code rather than prove anything, GTFO I said DRY MF'r.

I feel like I already posted about AI initiatives encouraging writing minivans squared, but here's the reference again.

Coining "VX", vibe experience, while in the area. This vibe coding felt/went good, that vibe coding felt/went bad, some one/thing's gotta push it toward the good.

I had the distinct honor of being the very first person to donate to Radio Boise. I hadn't even met Jeff yet, but I knew what a boon community radio could be. To see the current management trash the first amendment is infuriating. They have seen the last of my money.

One thing @Tesla could do better w/ screen is label climate controls. All these years and I still don't understand the nuance between the 3 defroster-ish symbols; that they're the same symbols all manufacturers use doesn't attack the issue.

Minor habanero harvest 🌱

What's with the new ad format that starts with half a second of uncanny AI-alley, then switches straight to the same old gameplay video for one of those shitty machine gun firehose mobile games? (They figured out our eyes like the weird stuff?)

Guns are garbage, pass it on

I'll raise ya peanut butter and raisin AND golden raisin sandwich!

Who'd have guessed that language models hallucinate because training and evals reward guesses over acknowledging uncertainty? Certainly not most people. I mean come on. We deserve cookies. openai.com/index/why-la...

Oh just thinkin' about what my beneficial nematodes are doing (or not doing, it's such a long wait!) You? #gardening 🌱

Not that guy again

Wasn't looking forward to US Agent returning, but they said "you're an asshole" to him plenty in Thunderbolts. He should be fine now.

Odds that 80% of Mermaid "diagrams" are linear flowcharts? (Better explained in plain language, but no, management requested legends and horizontal scrolling!)

2029, "You're absolutely right!" uses as much bandwidth as Netflix did in 2009.

Watch like no one's dancing

I used to eat the Pez straight out of the pack, no time for dispensing.

If we just knew what kind of husks we could beam our consciousness into, we could send them out now, send ourselves later.

This is what ads on buses look like from inside. Typical "compromise user experience for revenue." We need a different way to do this. 🪓

Norway sucks for programmers. It's not what you think. The country code completely breaks the official YAML 1.1 spec. NO evaluates into Boolean false...regardless of case. This can cause cryptic, hard to debug errors; especially in YAML-heavy environments like Kubernetes.

Coincidentally my placeholder word is "banana" and parts thereof. (Eschew "foo", ban "bar", who is this "baz.")

Well there'd have to be something worth complimenting, but sure, and not even for this "high stakes objective" or whatever it is. I don't withhold compliments just because I don't like the person.

From the interstate, nay the street, I've never been able to make out the stuff left of "bean that says Cracker Barrel on it." TIL guy with a barrel!
