You know, with codegen becoming easier due to LLMs, I wonder if it takes pressure off of languages to provide in-language code generation (like Rust’s macro system)

I would immediately be looking for a new job. Absolute ghoul

Computer, ENHANCE

Years ago, as a brand new student assistant in my university’s library IT department, a man used library computers to access CSAM. I am incredibly grateful that the process for handling this did not involve students at all. More senior employees were involved and were very affected by it.

The best single coffee I’ve ever had was a post-dinner cappuccino at Mattei’s Tavern. Evening coffee is the best

Men just want a walkable city where they can get a burger and an iced lemon coffee.

it’s nice to see @oxide.computer written up like this in The Register, a publication that still reminds me of a time when people still loved computers: www.theregister.com/2026/02/13/w...

Alex Vesia addressed the media today for the first time about his daughter’s death during the World Series. He thanked the Dodgers and Blue Jays for their support, and encouraged people who are struggling to seek therapy. Hat tip to @fabianardaya.bsky.social for transcribing Vesia’s full statement.

The Git project is planning new subcommands explicitly inspired by #jj-vcs! (Last section of this article)

I want to get back to writing Possible Rust articles. I probably won't do a Part 2 of this though, because in retrospect I think the lack of focus of this article is a problem that makes it harder to learn from and refer back to later.

openai.com/index/harnes... i have been mildly obsessed with the ideas in here for the past month or so. incredibly validating, total victory: my suspicions are correct, actually. "This functions like garbage collection" is a sentence I have said out loud. craziness

Love this aspect of ATProto. Different apps with different lexicons can opt-in to behavior like this! 1. Germ sets a declaration field on your PDS. 2. Bluesky notices the declaration and renders a Germ DM integration button on your profile.

Now that there’s an integration, I’ll actually give Germ more of a try!

As much as the Dodgers get talent by being willing to spend, they also retain good talent below-cost by being a clubhouse people want to stay with!

Probably Jimmy Smith, former cornerback for the Baltimore Ravens, who played for them when they won the Super Bowl in 2012.

You never forget doing this! When I worked library IT in undergrad, I accidentally deleted our entire knowledge base and digital tool library. We only recovered about 80% of it!

I had a colleague years ago who swore Lisp was the most readable language because it had the fewest syntactic constructs. I never did ask him if he thought Brainf**k was readable.

Local Rustacean slowly polarized against procedural macros.

Relatedly, there's a desire to identify middle management as frequently or categorically useless in knowledge-work companies, while middle management is often essential to the logistics of organizing and executing work.

Seems like this (company head announces product that doesn't exist which they have never discussed with anyone before) has happened many times in corporate history, and now I wonder if someone has a list.

The espresso tonic is underrated, it should be at every coffee shop

jj is super powerful if you need it, but tbh I think the pitch is even stronger for non-power users. In 6 months of regular use I've never needed to consult the Deep Tomes to unfuck a repo, and the only time I ended up remotely off the happy path it was a limitation of the underlying VCS, not jj

AI vibe shift in action

Diamondbacks haven't quite reported for Spring Training, and a player is already down with a broken bone in the hand from batting practice. Bad luck

Oh man, filtering out irrelevant info is so important. I take my wife's grandmother to her medical appointments, and she *absolutely* includes irrelevant info all the time, because she's not a doctor and doesn't know what's relevant to include. Any doctor or PA she sees knows what doesn't matter.

extremely hopeful, honestly. as long as you can explain the problem visually in 30 seconds you really can make people understand things they've otherwise been tricked about ring just did it, uh, accidentally

GitHub Uptime!

The legacy of the baseball episode lives on! @oxide.computer

Remembering talking to a Ring engineer years ago who was just numb to the idea that anything Ring did was concerning. Literally couldn't conceptualize it.

Seems a major motivator here may have been to de-risk an Oxide rack buy for potential customers by giving them more confidence the company will be around long-term.

If you’re interested in trying to build this message me!

Pitch for an OSS Discord alternative: - ATProto for identity (similar to Germ) - E2EE with MLS - Central server, easy to install / operate - First-party web and mobile clients

I’m a certified git! Oh wait keytrace.dev/alilleybrink...

The Bluesky devs have identified a bug where Jerry’s posts escape drafts

This is gender.

Once a year on April 1st all drafts get entered into a pool to be selected and posted by the blue checks, sponsored by Draft Kings.

NYT Editor: there is exactly one Trump supporter left in the country. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go interview them for the front page and our podcast.

It's annoying how good discord is. Matrix is a nice idea, but janky in practice.

Huh, wonder what this means for Oxide and Friends. Says anyone who wants to speak in a voice channel will need to go through this.

Congrats to Seattle and to my Seattle friends!

WET BIIIIIIRDS

Putting work as “tree” in the school play to good use!

I’m counting the Rams / Seahawks game as the real Super Bowl

Bless that lineman

INTERCEPTION!!!!

Both teams remembered the end zone exists in the fourth quarter

FINALLY!!!!
