I have an LG DualUp monitor and I'd like to split it into 2 displays (which it supports) www.lg.com/us/monitors/... but I can only do 1 DisplayPort and 1 HDMI, and the color profile when on HDMI is terrible.

@firefox.com add all the AI you want, just give us a global off switch. I want a single setting that will disable all AI features. Thanks!

Some of the most important problems in network science, it turns out, are equivalent to problems in descriptive set theory, a field dedicated to sorting through infinity. Joseph Howlett reports: www.quantamagazine.org/a-new-bridge...

Nice to see Google takes color schemes seriously #solarized @ethanschoonover.com

The coolest thing going on today: Jim Sanborn's private archive for his work on Kryptos is being auctioned... last day! www.rrauction.com/auctions/lot...

dbt seems to be mostly String Programming. Not the kind of macros I had hoped for.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Ikea, why did you call this the lustigt when LÖDRUNNR was right there?

As the field of mathematics advances to include increasingly mind-bending objects, the simple act of counting gets more and more complicated. www.quantamagazine.org/new-math-rev...

bluesky i'm begging you for passkey support. i get logged out SO MUCH and 2FA over email is so tedious.

The New York Times Learning Network is going to be publishing four lessons over the next four weeks on Tuesdays, based on my Math, Revealed series from a few months ago. Here's the first installment: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/l...

👏👏 @firefox.com you just saved me from a suss site:

OK NOBODY BID AGAINST ME www.rrauction.com/jim-sanborn-...

Neither Home Depot nor eBay understand how people use passkeys. I have passkeys set up with both: eBay never presents me with the option, Home Depot doesn't trigger 1Password, only the browser-stored option (I'm guessing... no other site acts that way)

Is there a good, plain 'ol CSS formatter out there, especially one that's NOT based on JS? I don't love pulling those tools into my projects, would prefer a statically compiled tool.

LOL AI is so intelligent

Wrote some dlang.org today, just a little pling plang plong, but still fun. I could see liking this lang.

The mathematician Lingrui Ge recently helped find a new way to understand the solutions of almost-periodic functions, important equations that appear in quantum physics. The work has helped cement an intriguing connection between number theory and physics. www.quantamagazine.org/ten-martini-...

My daughter came home from her first day of 4th grade yesterday having learned about the Hailstone Sequence. It took me a bit to remember it's "real" name, the Collatz Conjecture. I wish I were in 4th grade again.

What in the absolute fuck?

@sockpuppet.org from the last SCW episode, I'm curious to hear how Firefox is less secure? Is there a good place to read up on that specifically? Thanks!

This guy's vibe is not matching the vibe of the topic

You know it's time to wrap up your day when you've resorted to this kind of debugging raise "fuck this" raise "fuck me" raise "fuck you"

Earlier this year, a 17-year-old high school student named Hannah Cairo solved a 40-year-old mystery about how waves behave, surprising and exciting mathematicians. @kevinhartnett.bsky.social reports: www.quantamagazine.org/at-17-hannah...

Oh man, should I do a question-answering thread about all the questions in the comments for this news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4460...

Anyone else seeing @github.com Actions failing to run, as in, staying queued for 24 hours and then timing out?

9 seconds too long

I watched @bradyharan.bsky.social's bsky.app/profile/brad... and then thought to ask Claude and ChatGPT what it knew about β...

Wow, Heroku is _REALLY_ down right now. Dashboard -> Status Page -> Incident Page -> AWS error page

The mathematician John Conway didn’t fit into a box. 🧵

I just DuckDB'd the shit out of some data. Probably could have done it in a real programming language in much less time, but was kinda fun to get DuckDB to do what I wanted. s/fun/gross

New rule: if I get coffee from a cafe that either has sizes on their menu for a cappuccino, or the barista asks me what size cappuccino/flat white I want, pivot to a 12oz latte. I don't think I've ever had a good cup from a cafe that offers any cappuccino other than a traditional 5-6oz.

I'm excited to see how this shakes out! mrcjkb.dev/posts/2025-0...

How Google killing uBlock Origin fucked my morning: My mom calls me at 6:30am panicked because her computer is saying, out loud "Apple Security has locked your computer to prevent a virus, please..." (I forgot the rest, I was half asleep)

I have never been so unproductive in my career as I am now, trying to get Windows set up as a development environment.

One thing that @1password.bsky.social has kinda nailed is sync. I've not seen much talk about it, and it's always a very pleasant, immediate experience.

Very excited about the inaugural #UnisonLang meetup in #pdx tomorrow! I’ve been enjoying going through @unison-lang.org docs and writing some [pretty trivial] library code while trying to get used to its unique tooling and workflow. Some interesting ideas worth looking into! lu.ma/7dz4ltp5
