Ordering some dehydrated food from favourite Ukrainian brands for that taste of home during longer treks... and the promo pictures sure give me feels.

some amazing things happening over on threads — ever since they “shut down CERN”

NEW BLOG FOR YOU Google's energy consumption numbers in their new climate report are mind-blowing. 2 years ago they flipped from linear to exponential growth, and their climate impact is blowing out, too. A WILD testament to the obscene bloat and waste of GenAI: ketanjoshi.co/2026/07/01/g...

Someone who is good at Rust plz help, I set expect_fun_call = "allow" and I'm still not getting any fun calls :(

DRAM price fixing wiki just updated: «On 25 June 2026, Marc Garciaguirre filed a class-action lawsuit against Samsung, Hynix and Micron in the California Northern District Court alleging that the trio engaged again in DRAM price fixing, causing prices to skyrocket by 700% over the past four years.»

One of the reasons I liked coding was that I could get in a flow and work for long period of time uninterrupted. Now, I'm supposed to have a bunch of AI agents running all the time so that I can be interrupted every 5-10 minutes with yet another decision! I can't focus on anything at all!

OH MY GOD WE FOUND WHO CLAUDE WAS TRAINED ON www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

So far.

I look forward to the day when I no longer have to see issues and pull requests with blatant obvious AI slop. I hate it so much. It makes me not want to code anymore.

What?

Huh if you live long enough, you really start seeing the cycles.

Me: oh right, Pixel has a temperature sensor, let me check how hot is the bus seat. Pixel:

Bloomberg uses a lot of C++ & contributes to the standard as well as various industry conferences and libraries. I’m looking for an experienced engineer to join a distributed systems team in New York working on our core Deployment Infrastructure for the Bloomberg Terminal 🗽 🧵

Hottest June day record broken for third day in row as temperature hits 37.3C. 🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Same, Shakshuka, same... 🥵

Whelp, this is a pretty major vulnerability. If you use ffmpeg make sure you update www.securityweek.com/ffmpeg-pixel...

Beginning next week, Australians get free electricity for three hours every afternoon. That's what happens when you build out wind, sun, and batteries open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

"I discovered a large-scale malware distribution campaign on GitHub": orchidfiles.com/github-repos... We are so toast, they are going to be completely useless against sophisticated actors really out to get you. #ai

It's a shame that Arc::<T>::default() always has to allocate. I keep writing my own wrappers that use a static LazyLock + Arc::clone. I get it, it's difficult to make this built-in because of observable effects, but as long as it's specialised only for types w/o interior mutability, should be safe?

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

Train delays are getting out of hand.

Fuckers. "You know what would make heatwave better for our neighbours? Construction dust!"

Fun fact: new IKEA KAJPLATS smart bulbs are advertised as compatible only with Matter. However, folks found that they have a secret Zigbee compatibility mode that you can enter by, I kid you not, power-cycling the lamp 6 times to reset it and then power-cycling 12 times to enter Zigbee pairing.

For folks who aren't into the minutiae of browser benchmarks, Speedometer is a test suite *primarily developed by Apple*, results of which it has used in regulatory filings to claim users don't need and/or wouldn't benefit from real browser competition.

"but where are all the bluesky instances?" i've heard this so many times that i wrote an explainer

Woah this is a pretty cool approach without linker shenanigans.

What a thread 😂 Strange times to be alive.

I didn't make this but I love it

TRUMP: It really probably is unconditional surrender Well, yeah, but we thought you meant the other side

The Ukrainian meme-sphere has been, er, on fire today.

I get it - who doesn't have a different face at work - but why would I have different fingerprints for work??

Zelensky confirmed Ukraine struck an oil refinery in the Moscow region about 500 km away, thanking SBU, Unmanned Systems Forces, SSO, HUR and missile troops for the operation. He said Ukrainian long-range weapons are part of forcing Russia to end the war. #Ukraine

HKTs are so good. I love how easy it is to build complex data structures generic over either Rc vs Arc, or even over &T vs &mut T vs T nowadays.

Vivaldi 8 broke the address bar on Android - protocol is no longer part of the URL, which breaks the click-copy-paste workflow to other apps. foo.bar/baz is not recognised in a lot of apps as a URL so I have to keep manually typing "https://" in front of it after pasting. cc @brucel.bsky.social

🤔 What if browsers on iOS could use their own web rendering engines? What would, e.g., Blink look like on iOS? Spoiler: it would be awesome 😎 Check out @kylealden.bsky.social's fun perf and feature comparison between Safari and our prototype Blink-based browser: www.linkedin.com/pulse/test-d...

The Safari team's reason for opposing Web MCP struck a cord with me. It is something I've struggled to articulate in the past. In fact, their comments contain the seed of a design principle that the W3C should adopt. cloudfour.com/thinks/impro...

The Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, one of the most sacred places in the Orthodox Christian world, is being consumed by flames right now after a Russian strike

🚨 BREAKING: Russian strike hits the historic Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a world-famous Orthodox monastery and UNESCO site, igniting fire on the roof of the Dormition Cathedral.

Whenever working with strong encryption, even pretty standard HTTPS, you have to sing an encryption export agreement with the US. I suspect they'll simply introduce a similar document to sign for access to top LLMs and it will be similarly seen as not a big deal.

Installed one of those apps that analyses your transactions, determines regular ones and shows a bill overview. It said I have a bill to pay to the coffee shop tomorrow.

I *really* hope this works

Or, as I like to call it, Half Empty English.

every headline these days

Gee, I don't know...

Migrated my Bluesky account to @eurosky.social - it was as straightforward and transparent as they describe. The only minor annoyance is that @bsky.app requires you to specify a hat during login - feels entirely unnecessary, as that's easy to look up via DNS / DID and some apps do just that.

Woah, nice start of the day. Thanks OpenAI for sponsoring me on GitHub! github.com/sponsors/RRe...
