There's a bit of a "good or bad program?" halting problem AI may someday cleave. There are so many interprogram interaction that cannot be allowed, because "giving peer-programs power over other programs" has been deemed "~always harmful". "I know it when I see it" could be a standard AI enforces.

the todo list app is dead long live the todo list app

bro tbh idk

i need to solve offline image uploads this weekend or i'm KMSing

I hate cognitive offloading. that's why I advocate for removing all street signs, road markings, traffic lights, etc.

native Swift client for Blueksy MacOS when

must be terrible to be an academic, no way to publicly admit to being wrong without letting a prole win

has anybody here tried a 3 weeks on 1 week off working cadence?

fixed a performance bug for the integration with Tailwind CLI, uses --watch instead of re-starting the Tailwind binary on each rebuild when in dev mode

i love white collar work so much it's crazy

I’d like to see an explicitly social-forward RSS reader. Like it’s encouraged to highlight passages and leave short comments. Your buds see yours, you see your buds.

i think robots doing all the work and people doing whatever they want to do would be awesome actually i think that's the entire point society should be working towards

You know what dignity looks like? Its being able to just go into its car, drive to the pharmacy and pick up its blood pressure meds at 11 am and come back without having to ask anyone permission. The work gets done and nobody cares if you are watching anime while you do it.

normal people do not use words like “fediverse”

If you are also a coder who may also be in the job market soon, AI is actually evil and you shouldn’t use it! Only fools would use AI. Tell your friends who are applying to the same jobs as me

this interface goes so hard https://are.na/block/41854789

people liken LLMs to 'junior engineers' they are far more akin to distinguished engineers that have alzheimers and cant remember what happened 5 minutes ago but know what a bloom filter is

my intuition at the moment is that it’s risky to compete with the machines in domains where iteration and production is basically free if you want to maintain control over output/be rewarded for your judgement, it’s best to do it where consequences matter

The Claude frontend skill outputs are already recognizable. Off-the-shelf aesthetics become cringe so fast. See Bootstrap, Material, etc etc. There’s no way around learning what goes into good design. That means open eyes, lots of practice. Easier than ever but fundamentals same

do i know any @tldraw.com power users? looking for someone to jam with re. features that could be added atop a collection of tldraw files

new question on fleetingbits.io

who’s going to be nice enough to build are.na on ATProto?

i really wonder if the anti-AI people would get up in arms if we had near-perfect robot surgeons

2FA might be one of the worst things ever invented for the internet, all things considered...

banger

i’ve always thought the real use of prediction markets is for dunking on things that really need it

That's because everyone making the decision today has done it the old way before. When the next generation grows up never having written it by hand everything changes. DX is still paramount, but DX is shaped completely different (no one knows what DX even means in this new world yet).

now is a great time for someone to sit down and define formats for things that are popular data shapes for personal software even just the basics like tasks (i know!), metric tracking, lists of different kinds, posts, etc

from what i understand, the great advantage of having a virtual DOM seems to be all the tricks you can play by not actually rendering things, or delaying them which allows for things like animations to be very declarative, for interaction state to be preserved while hiding/showing elements. etc

hop in, people skribbl.io?BFCcBt7q let's guess some drawings

well i'm glad Bluesky supports this valid URL, because Twitter sure doesn't joodaloop.com/~

i think event logs are the best app-agnostic data solution we have at the moment anything that's not a commercial SaaS app, and wants to be local-first anyway, should probably be using them

all the creative tricks are only useful if independently discovered

i also would like to reinvent myself but i think the way out is through

decided to make more websites

wait a second, what if this had a GUI of some sort?

trying to figure out my next moves, stay tuned

must feel insane to be an american rn

bluesky keyword-based feeds are already filled with replybot-slop, it's so over gang

what is the nicest experience you've ever had with self-hosting something? was it nice enough to recommend to a non-technical friend to try? why/why not?

having a “in my head” week, which is not fun but is possibly necessary

App stores could be replaced by having apps published to a PDS, with safety provided using content moderation tooling, search indexed from the firehose, etc. thoufh. We strike aggregators everywhere that they stand.

found a way to combine event sourcing with partial sync problem: if an update event arrives at a client that doesn't have the original item present, it can't apply the event solution: have the backend implement an API that can return an object corresponding to an item ID

interesting tradeoff between junction tables and storing is references directly on a model former means you can do joins and automatically maintain integrity latter allows you to know dependencies of a model simply by looking at it

spent the last 3 days in a haze, experimenting with different client-side query languages and storage options paid off today, i have decided on a stack!

collection of UI panels from scatterpad.com

has anybody made a @bsky.app bookmarks to RSS thing yet? or are bookmarks not stored in ATProto?

group software, used and funded (maybe even hosted?) by a collection of people is really fun field rn you have to solve design problems well enough for everyone to use, patterns that encourage usage, etc fun detail: you can actually do encryption since the key is less likely to be lost
