My daughter's softball team this summer season is something else. For some reason this group of girls who for the most part didn't know each other from other leagues or seasons, are meshing like crazy. Stuff like asking for extra practice, lol. Usually it's 2 hours, and they ask to practice for […]

#F1 tv android app update ... scared and excited at the same time. Excited because it has been a bit behind in terms of how it functions with video playback. Scared because f1.com redesign made the site unusable for me. I hope the app is not on the same path.

Oh, and look at these hilarious shots of girls clapping every time the top 3 drivers came into the cool down room. Completely forgot that was a thing in #F1 hahaha so funny. Imagine any sport doing that now? Meltdowns left and right.

Now two races left in 2010 #f1 rewatch, and still crazy to think Weber lost it. South Korean GP?? I don't remember that at all. Weber makes what has to be a very silly mistake towards the end of the wet race, goes wide, touches grass and spins, hitting another […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

I see so many young kids now just constantly staring and scrolling through reels, tiktok, youtube clips when we are out and about. Everywhere. It's disgusting and extremely sad at the same time. Initially I was wondering how the hell parents are allowing this, but when you notice grown people […]

I am rewatching 2010 #F1 season, there are only four races left and it's kind of unbelievable that Vettel will win the championship. It's painful to watch Webber lose it slowly but surely.

the latest formula1.com redesign is straight up atrocious. I can't tell anymore what that website is. It is now an aggregator of instagram posts mixed with ads and random videos, and an article that is hard to read due to the layout. Eeek ... #F1

Did anything happen in #F1 world?

Update to my loftyassist product adventure, with a new twist. At 116 users, 18 paid plans. New twist? I might be getting hired by Lofty to do some contract work for them. Let's see what the terms look like, but if all looks good, I might be transferring over some of my lofty assist ideas onto […]

The kids gave me this wonderful #book for father's day. Highly recommended if you are #F1 fan. I wish it had more race photos, it's all drawings, but that's all that I could complain about ##nextread

"Let me install the dishwasher myself" 4 hours later --- it's almost midnight and i need to do a second home depot run first thing tomorrow morning

I mean I knew that Musk was a giant loser but you won't believe how pathetic he can get. I am about to be finished reading "Character Limit" and the stories in there are something else. He is a small, damaged, complete loser of human being. wow. So much external power and money, yet he is a […]

This seems like a cry for help from a few remaining honest individuals at #openai: https://www.openaifiles.org/ This is why I do not use their LLMs, regardless how powerful their models might be. We can't have VCs control this technology but so far that's where we are heading. #AI

#F1 is working hard to sell this movie. #haas represent!

poor #norris, he is going to go hard on himself here. I hope people give that dude some grace and leave him alone. #F1

I had a nice day reading by the pool while the kids played with my wife. Then watched some #F1 . Overall a perfect #FathersDay . If not counting for all the nonsense that's going on in the world today........

Today we had our daughter's 12th birthday party. I feel like it was the first birthday party where I could feel that "teenager" vibe around her and her friends and how they interacted and how they celebrated. There is no more "omg let's play we are all together!" careless free play :) them kids […]

just watched the condensed version of Thunder vs Pacers, couldn't help but laugh at all the 3s the #pacers were making in the 4th. What a crazy team. And that last shot, nothing you can say or add, clutch as clutch gets. #nba

oh my goodness, the timing of choosing this book out of all the books I could have picked up.... hahaha.

Just picked this one up from the #library: Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter by Kate Conger https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/209543060-character-limit Let's see what sort of stories this one will have about our village idiot. #Musk #nextread #Books

In a few minutes LoftyAssist is about to have its 500th deployment to prod since November 11th of 2024. That averages out as 2+ deployments per day. Obviously didn't push stuff to prod daily there, but some days I can just get cranking. When I work on the […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

hahaha Verstappen .... the man lost it ... once he watches the replays he will realize that he lost his marbles on the restart #F1 Decent race for it being at Barcelona, Red Bull made it a bit tense there for McLaren

Why does #indycar radio comms sound like #F1 in the 80s?

Love these paragraphs... why some people are "luckier" than others

I filled out stackoverflow survey today and realized something: I have not written a single line of C# in over a year! All F#, all day... seriously got lucky here. #fsharp #dotnet

I hope Thunder win the #nba championship! One of the few teams in the league that has built a team the way it should be built. None of this pandering to whining stars BS.

The latest LLM models from the major providers continue to come in a rapid fashion. And each is just better and better. Latest model from Anthropic is very fast, and with improved output from everything I have tried. I will say that "thank goodness" for the competition where it's not only […]

It's POWER RANKINGS TIME, live look at the #F1 formula1.com writer after seeing Albon finish 5th https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/power-rankings-who-impressed-our-judges-during-an-incident-packed-weekend-at.5bPEMQur9j5BR2ESwcnsG7

Building a product as an engineer is quite annoying when it comes to marketing. It's a must do step. Every time I do an email announcing new features, reach out to users, or post information on reddit I nearly always either get a new subscriber, sometimes a premium one, and at the very least […]

Yeah ok but met gala was great and the soup at #ferrari kitchen is to die for https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/ferraris-braking-issues-a-lottery-as-hamilton-reflects-on-fp2-struggles-in.4cJVEmi3kSgw5WkdR4TaoS

Articles like this remind me that #ferrari is a long way away from winning a championship. It's all about the BS around the #F1, not F1 racing itself. https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/im-from-the-land-of-slow-food-and-fast-cars-chef-massimo-bottura-on-taking.2JCTUmLYthaPdm5JDOiYnX

Looking at the teams that are doing their thing, these playoffs might pull me back to watching #nba. No more "it's about me!" overpaid overwhining stars left. I like it

Looks like github copilot PR review now supports all the languages in public preview. This will be useful for me as I commit #fsharp code a lot. In fact I had a PR today that it reviewed, found a few decent suggestions actually.

Written in 2012, very soon after Googles and Facebooks of the world started to create information bubbles for us to trap ourselves in. It will be annoying, but I think useful to see the perspective at the time. #Books #nextread

That's pretty cool, Roku has #F1 channel. This is different than the app: https://therokuchannel.roku.com/details/d2564cef9feeec6c58a076d6f6a90491/formula-1-channel

What a strange book: Rogues: True Stories of Grifters, Killers, Rebels and Crooks by Patrick Radden Keefe https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59148726-rogues The title is a bit over the top. Overall enjoyed it, the best I could describe it is a collection of fascinating stories that lean […]

I realize the interest for this on acitivity pub will be small, but if you are in algorand ecosystem and like #F1, this could be of interest to you: https://www.alphaarcade.com/market/formula-1-drivers-champion-2025

It's ridic how much #f1 formula1.com media people love Albon. I play this game with myself for their Power Rankings article where I guess who they are going to rank and where after each race. My notes for Albon say he should be #2 but since f1.com people are in […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

After watching yesterday's #F1 sprint qualifying I just told my friend, we are witnessing the birth of the next F1 legend. You can talk about technical/timing/race ability all you want, but it's quite simple. What Antonelli is doing in his first months in F1 is beyond remarkable. And the great […]

True story, and what a twisted continuation. The character Amy, most likely killed her brother Seth by accident. Years later she had a son who was born on the same day as her brother, and named him Seth as well. Amy is in prison for then committing mass […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

Update on loftyassist, 58 total accounts, 9 yearly premium subscribers. I do feel like I hit a wall on sign ups and they have slowed down over the last few weeks. Now I am fighting the temptation to work on "new" features or improve the existing ones. What I really need to do next is do another […]

HOLY SHIT that felt scary..... very close to us. The windows were shaking

Geeez, I have been on there daily, increasing usage due to loftyassist and now I get this 😀 Maybe I should pretend I need free credits #digitalocean

I think this is the lowest fear & greed reading I have personally observed.

I wrote a newsletter for over a year where shared strong and weak industries based on the stock market performance. In it I also discussed my personal trading. Well, on February 16th I made a special post where I announced that the market has completely changed and with it, my trading approach […]

Between my son and daughter we have either a baseball or a softball game for the next 8 days out of 9. Kind of amazing.

I went to check out leaflet.js after seeing it mentioned as one of the options for interactive map features. And after opening the homepage, I now must use it and support it: https://leafletjs.com/ I love the last paragraph in the pop up: "If you support the […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

If someone had to write a perfect book for me, it's hands down tracers in the dark. I just love reading about stuff like this

LoftyAssist got quite a decent bump in users this weekend, again, by my tiny standards. 41 accounts, 17 logged in over the last three days, 7 paid yearly subscription. That has to be some good ratio of paid to free, no? And I still have a ton of things to add to help users do their research. I […]
