They shipped it like this. And this isn’t just a random bug; it happened on both phones that I set up with iOS 26. 😑

The iPhone Air feels impossibly thin, and it feels great to hold. I miss when all phones were this light. I would kill for an iPhone Air Mini. I don’t even care how miserable the battery would be.

Costume vs Inspiration

After two days with iOS 26 on my primary device: My phone is finally (FINALLY!) purple! Auto mix in Apple Music is one of my favorite uses of applied machine learning I’ve seen. Fantastic for stations or randomized playlists. I kind of like the way app icons are “enhanced” by the glassy […]

I’m going to keep calling Charlie Kirk a fascist who should not be valorized. I am not capitulating to the climate of repression the Trump regime and its supporters have created. The only way to protect freedom to speak truth, is to keep speaking truth.

@overcastfm just in case you haven’t seen this yet, iOS 26 on iPad with reduce transparency enabled and dark mode, produces some weird behavior in the buttons on a podcast when pressing the delete button.

thank god there’s just so much room for my content, in the phone call screen

Good morning, especially to the two new and two returning @ThePSF directors! And _especially_ good morning to the @ThePSF's moderation team. Y'all do great work and we don't thank you enough (nor could we)! #python

@amethyst only if it's a seaplane, obviously.

Astral does this amazing thing, where we pledge to donate a bunch of money to Rust and Python open source developers and projects. This year we pledge $44k https://astral.sh/blog/astral-oss-fund-one-year-later

It's the @ThePSF election opening day. I personally vote for as many candidates as there are seats open, and I'm prioritising board continuity – @jezdez and @simon have both been vital to the board, and we're going through a phase where we need their expertise and institutional knowledge […]

Having a Good Morning™️

Gotta say it sucks to hear over the last 30-40 years how progressive policies that directly help citizens could never be enabled by the stroke of a pen, but in just a few short months a moody dictator can enact any cruel authoritarian idea no one wants or needs and it gets implemented nationwide […]

Star Wars: Jedi Survivor has 36 minutes of credits. At least four of those minutes were dedicated to copyright and licenses for open source libraries used to make the game.

I'll be joining Astral from September to work mainly on https://astral.sh/pyx, which the team just announced! Can't wait!

Humanity demands respect for every person, full stop. Ableism, like every other form of discrimination, starts and ends with dehumanizing people based on some trait. https://mastodon.social/@glyph/115022769929525096

As I'm preparing to leave Meta at the end of this week, it hit me how many friends and connections I've made during my time there - that's definitely the highlight of this past decade. The growth as an engineer is just a cherry on top. I'm grateful.

Shortly before my tenure at Meta ended, we discovered a team using LLMs, at unknown energy consumption costs, to generate “automated codemods” to remove “unused imports” from our monorepo. You know, the thing we could trivially do with linters and AST tools for years, but hadn’t at scale […]

You know you need to wake up from the dream when you’re ordering Python formatting and linting tools for dinner from a restaurant menu and start haggling about preferred feature flags with the wait staff.

Well fuck https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:5fq3w4od76bp3nqowdgiboki/post/3lvlqlzbjy22v

Well, it's official: Meta has discontinued my employment, effective this morning. 😔 So I guess this is as good a time as any to say that I've accepted an offer from Astral, and I will be starting there on August 25th. I'm excited and appreciative of the opportunity to continue working with some […]

A bit of Python amusement to start the week: a quiz on how well you know f-strings. I did not get a perfect score, but I came pretty darn close. 😮‍💨 https://fstrings.wtf/ #python #quiz

My personal brand of #adhd is feeling a tangle in my hair, going back to the bathroom to get my brush, deciding to clean my teeth first, standing there for 10 or 15 seconds afterwards thinking there was something else I needed to do, changing my shirt, walking back out to the living room, and […]

Are you still on #spotify? Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek has raised €600M for his new startup, which is developing AI TECH FOR WAR. Ek still owns 9% of Spotify, but has 37% voting control. His net worth went from $2.5B to $10B in the last two years alone, on the back of paying musicians a pittance in […]

Celebrating this stupid country by rolling out 2.5GbE switches to go with my recent modem upgrade. UniFi gear is the best, and PoE+ is the greatest networking invention of all time.

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

In memory of Anne Burrell, my breakfast this morning was a celebration of "brown food tastes good”. Regrettably, the brown food also included my scrambled eggs.

This is a great season to be an #f1 fan.
