there should be a catchy name for that increasingly popular "disable annoying slop feature you didn't ask for, but only for 30 days" pattern

this is the best phishing email I have ever seen in my life. they've been sending me very convincing looking account notices for months now and have gone with "we've made your email gay. you have to click here to un-gay it"

starting my monday off right: getting 20 PagerDuty notifications right as I step into the shower, standing there shivering and naked frantically acking them and begging someone on the east coast to investigate

a pedal builder pal needed some tools to help migrate off of eagle and onto kicad, so I built this thing for generating/editing kicad libraries from spreadsheets. let me know if it sucks! github.com/eric-wood/ki...

I have no idea what game thing everyone is talking about on here but people seem to be talking about control a lot so I looked it up on a whim and control 2 is coming out next year yay

kudos to apple for teaching everyone the importance of contrast with their “Liquid Glass” design language.

stayed up until midnight (usually bed time is 9pm) finishing a book and am paying dearly for it today

unfortunate: local man builds static site generator from scratch to create blog nobody will read

how old do your kids have to be before you can put them on snow shoveling duty? 6 months right? which developmental phase is it

I know enough music theory to be dangerous but I'll regularly stumble across music theory explainer videos that are completely inscrutable with tons of comments being like "wow such a clear explanation, thank you!"

has anyone set up OTEL with axum or any other rust web apps? can you point me at tooling that will work and has real examples?? why is this so hard???

I stumbled into this fever dream of a hacker news post last night and I need someone besides me to read it because wow a lot to unpack here news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4609...

commissioned to digitize an analog phaser pedal and now I have to finally read up on OTAs and their weird ass control voltages (which are actually all current controlled)

babies at this age (12 weeks) are basically living the Dan Flashes sketch and going apeshit over complex patterns. my son spent like 15 minutes this morning staring at a black and white grid texture cooing and kicking his legs in delight

I fucked up the exposure on most shots on this roll of fomapan but got a lot of baby pics out of it

you ever add a dependency that seems to solve a problem you have only to get weird vibes from it (inconsistent docs, odd API decisions, examples that don't work) then click into the issues and realize the author has just been copy/pasting LLM output?

systemd seems cool I don't get why everyone was mad about it for so long. no need to tell me either

learning about busy boards and not impressed with existing options. I have been training for this moment my whole life.

man I'm sure oldheads have felt like this for ages but there is a very noticeable swing in the tech industry away from engineering rigor that feels very alienating

apple please bring back aperture. I do not want to pay a subscription for lightroom but the photos app sucks for library management

huge discovery: it's really easy for me to context switch when reading a book, so I've somewhat successfully replaced staring at my phone with it around the house

immediately went from "man I cannot wait for my son to sleep more than 3 hours at a time" to him pulling 7-9 hours every night and panicking because that seems wrong and impossible so surely I did something wrong

I am getting really tired and burnt out.

need a rust web framework that isn't completely DIY but also not as prescriptive as something as rails. if we are continuing to abuse the "omakase" analogy I am thinking along the lines of a well-curated seasonal menu

my wife (helpfully) took care of dog stuff for me this morning while I took care of the baby but mixed up their pill bottles (I usually do it) and our youngest dog received a morning dose of gabapentin. wake and bake

I have grown to appreciate some of these LLM code review tools. they are dogshit with CSS tho

upset at all of my gamer friends who hid this from me when I asked for recommendations over the years...never seen a more eric-coded game in my life store.steampowered.com/app/731040/T...

After the Rubygems drama, I felt frustrated that I can’t escape evil people trying to dominate my life. I found myself mourning the future I thought we would have; but also hopeful that it’s not too late to start choosing kindness. Join me in building a better future: okayfail.com/2025/in-prai...

shoutout to the person who said "sybian" instead of "symbian" in work chat today

centurylink has made a powerful enemy today. I will use my morning walk time to power through the phone tree and get what I want.

up promptly at 6am, walking 5 miles with a baby strapped to me before 9am while downing cold brew I am an unstoppable force of nature

cuomo eat shit and fuck off forever

imagine thinking the week starts on sunday

fancy coffee maker breaks. company sends us a replacement. new one is broken within two brews. asking the support person if they have ever cared for an infant without access to coffee

I will do so much to support anyone whose platform is not just ousting this current administration but fully persecuting the people involved to the fullest extent of the law. unfortunately I don’t see this happening anytime soon.

two overstimulated boys

first halloween

I have been building myself a little photo gallery and trying to do one of those grids that preserves aspect ratios etc. which turns out to be a notoriously annoying problem that cannot be solved with pure CSS

one thing they do not tell you about infants is they fart like full grown adults

beverage idea: post workout protein recovery beer

I am still trying to find the time to fully migrate off spotify (fuck them) but use my daylist a lot while I work. this morning it generated one that is 50 tracks of modest mouse and isaac brock projects. what the fuck is going on over there

I love my airpods and they are easily my most-used gadget BUT they need to redo the adaptive volume thing so it doesn't think coughing/clearing my throat is me talking

da vinki resolve

cannot understate how cool it is watching emily demo something I worked on!! youtu.be/5N04Emjlp5w

I am consuming podcasts at an alarming rate. no not any of the ones that make you smarter either

I worked on this!! it's really good!! go buy it!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOEJ...
