Helen DeWitt is a genius writer whose books everyone should read. That's my only contribution to this discourse.

When he says ‘kiss me my girl before I’m sick’ at the end of Phantom Thread I’m cheering like people did at whatever bit it was in those last avengers films that was supposed to be good

Wagner Moura wins Best Actor in a Motion Picture — Drama for The Secret Agent 🏆 #GoldenGlobes

I'm becoming like one of those christians that 'prays for you' except I am praying for everyone to finally reject reboots & remakes in 2026

We've got some updates on TypeScript 7! The new native port - can type-check any project - supports --build and --incremental - has rich editor features implemented - is still 10x faster and is ready for you to try today! devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/p...

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

it's just weird how we phrase it as "remote doesn't work" despite all the evidence pointing otherwise, rather than an abject failure of management "i can only run teams if i can physically touch them" and "three hours of traffic and wearing headphones all day is peak productivity"

Union to intersection type

Bacurau foi um DOCUMENTÁRIO meus amigos.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

My new piece on the shift in "user centered design" with #AI in @fastcompany.com Hint: we are no longer the target audience. www.fastcompany.com/91397818/lar...

it might be a bit boring but better tools for refactoring, type systems and lsp help but I want to know where are all instances of type X constructed, when are they sent across threads, where is field Y read etc. Things that let you plan and execute complex changes on legacy code.

another day of gopls not letting me do a rename because the file has errors when those errors would be fixed by the rename 🙂

Anyone who knows the first thing about literary translation knows that direct translations are often impossible, and that creative, nuanced, sympathetic solutions must be found due to unfamiliar idioms, imagery, rhyming schemes, etc while balancing author motifs and style. AI simply can't do that.

Neon has acquired the North American rights to the political thriller The Secret Agent from writer and director Kleber Mendonça Filho.

Funnily enough this comes at a time when layoffs are ripping up existing systems, flushing irreplaceable organizational knowledge down the drain. The answer these managers give is "just use AI" because they are not competent to rebuild the broken system, or even see it.

por que livro de fantasia tem tanta capa fubanga meudeus

once again I have received a book that I immediately wanted to drop because it has that nasty "soft touch" cover please stop making me touch the soft touch it is VILE (and doesn't shelve well!!!!!)

Do you think theres unrest among the vampire communities due to the degradation of the quality of human blood caused by microplastics?

Once any space becomes less than 40% male, (straight) men tend to cede it entirely while shouting about how it “went woke”. Fascinating read:

Everyone is psyched about the Severance S2 trailer. But it's been 27 years since the 1st season and I don't remember a goddamn thing that happened & don't really feel like rewatching a whole season of a show so I can watch the 2nd. Nothing against Severance; this is true of half the streaming shows.

Sometimes type soundness is overrated. It's nice to have it, but ultimately what I want is for the type checker to catch my mistakes.

2014: the movie Idiocracy is basically a documentary 2024: the movie Idiocracy is a beautiful and aspirational look at a future brighter than our own. a tantalizing glimpse into a better world that has already slipped from our fingertips.

I hate how streaming has changed most of TV into a thing where you find something you like and it either gets canceled after two seasons or it takes so long for them to do new episodes that you forget it was on in the first place

I'll remember the world before and after this PR: github.com/microsoft/Ty... The new era of conditional types checking is coming in TypeScript 5.8!

se você ta pagando curso sem nunca ter dedicado horas de bunda na cadeira você ta pagando na esperança de que o outro entenda por você. e isso é impossível. ele so pode te explicar.

“I’ve tracked down 80% of the people aged over 110 in the world. Of those, almost none have a birth certificate. In the US there are over 500 of these people; seven have a birth certificate. Even worse, only about 10% have a death certificate.” This is freaking amusing
