If I were on a mission whose computer system required me to deal with Microsoft Outlook in space, I’d give up and go back to the slide rule

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

My #atmosphereconf talk is available to watch. I made myself watch it back (it's character-building) and can confirm that there are several awkward pauses but the demo worked.

It’s about time.

 C++ is going to be rebranded ++C (starting with the ++C26 standard) to discourage unnecessary use of the post increment operator.

Someone asked earlier if I have a favorite photo in my collection. I'm not certain but I think it might be this one. The light, her face, the way she's supporting the kitten so lovingly. It's definitely a candidate for the cover of the book I fantasize about creating someday.

still incredible

I have room in my heart for this one.

I think about “normal to want and possible to achieve” all the time

well that's not how I wouldve done it [guy who 100%ed kerbal space program]

oh my god. buck2 added support today for playing various games while your builds are running. incredible. magnificent

I wonder if the sentiment cuts both ways. Is shitting on a human ‘good luck’ in pigeon world?

As xkcd correctly noted, we* are professionally annoying.

Sorry for the screenshot from the other place, but this is the best thing I’ve learned from the Claude Code leak so far

oh no... don't verify me tomorrow, even as a joke...

Can't leak source maps if you're already open source

Perfectly done on 1st April too!

I thought this was an April Fool’s joke but seems to be the genuine Microsoft ‘Terms of Use’ for Copilot. Many thanks to @lifewinning.com for finding this. www.microsoft.com/en-us/micros...

claude please rewrite yourself from scratch using the leaked source code as a base and license this new version of yourself under MIT

Lovely piece on training a model on Victorian literature. HT @geomblog.bsky.social FYI @tedunderwood.com for the UIUC connection. www.estragon.news/mr-chatterbo...

Finally done. I was able to talk with @pfrazee.com, as well as a handful of other folks with insight on the situation. #atmosphereconf trezy.com/blog/the-mar...

This is either brilliant or scary: Anthropic accidentally leaked the TS source code of Claude Code (which is closed source). Repos sharing the source are taken down with DMCA. BUT this repo rewrote the code using Python, and so it violates no copyright & cannot be taken down!

The world is stupid, but I just watched a squirrel break into a car in the parking lot below me, steal a package of crackers, and escape to a nearby tree. So at least somebody is winning.

There's something quite exciting happening with AVIF and progressive rendering. Some recent patches let you provide custom 'frames' as progressive passes, so you can provide e.g. smaller blurry versions of the full image to use as a progressive pass.

Given a Riemannian manifold that is topologically a sphere, we can talk about "geodesics"—paths as close to straight as possible on the surface. On a true sphere, geodesics are great circles, but on topological spheres, the geodesics may roam around the sphere forever without closing up. 1/7

They obviously do things differently in Goa.

I think often of a New York Times photo of a little Iraqi girl tending to her parakeets in a bombed house, probably from 20 years ago now. I will think of this man and his sweet dog often now too. People just want to love what they love, care for their little beings, and instead we do this to them

Stewardess: is there a doctor on the plane?? Me: I’m a doctor of literature! Stewardess: Me: this situation is reminiscent of an online joke format from the late 2010s, but the “doctor on a plane” joke extends back significantly further to anxieties around air travel and the meaning of a titular-
