My term "electrofficiency" just showed up in ZEIT as "Elektriffizienz." What does it mean? Electrification isn't just a fuel swap. It cuts how much energy we need in the first place avoiding a huge amount of waste heat. www.zeit.de/2026/27/sola...

NEW: During last month’s record-breaking heatwave, there were more than 2,700 heat-related deaths in France. That’s according to new analysis for @carbonbrief.org from @ccallahan45.bsky.social and @andrewdessler.com Read more: www.carbonbrief.org/guest-post-f...

Here you go, you can see that tech actually has one of the smaller gaps since 2010 and US outperformance is much more about lawyers and bankers than coders. (Which is much more of a problem for Krugman's argument than his opponents).

My quote of the day It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them. Dalai Lama

Heard of the Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers (aka SoCBB)? No? Well, we at Microsoft came together with Meta, Opera, and Google to fund improving code, fixing bugs, interop issues in Chromium, so it stays healthy. Said another way: get paid to fix chromium bugs!

Bluesky is cool

Discontinuing Google Earth desktop does not come unexpected, but it's terrible news. The web tool is utterly useless for me and many geo folk. There'll be workarounds for most features, but not for 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 3D view of historical imagery and for sharing placemarks.

‘Polarization’ has become the master concept for diagnosing our current democratic crisis. But this is not polarization. It is the radicalization of the political right. By misdiagnosing it, we risk becoming complicit in the crisis. 🧵 Just out in Perspectives on Politics doi.org/10.1017/S153...

What's new in Edge for web developers: our new series to learn about the newest features in Edge (and Chromium), experiments you can test now, and highlights from the broader ecosystem. In this issue: CSS gap decorations, focusgroup, PWA migration, and more! ➡️ blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/20...

I ran 10 newer OCR models on @ai2.bsky.social's olmOCR-bench "old scans" subset. The ranking flips depending on what you actually want.

If they ended up decimating id Software's tech team then I have no faith in anything they'll ever do again under the current leadership. Between last week and today's news...I just don't know what to say at this point.

New context window visualisation in Docker Agent

https://lckhd.eu/JVzSG1 For many cases using containers on AWS, the Elastic Container Service (ECS) is the best fit. Auto scaling with ECS on AWS recently picked up high-resolution metrics, moving evaluation from 60-second to 20-second intervals. It sounds like a small tweak, but the effect on how

The majority of humanity lives within a relatively small bandwidth of latitude. This #map is one of my all time favourites. It was created by radicalcartography.net in 2008 and remains a true classic today: buff.ly/2DJXO9z

Air conditioning has become the latest front in the energy culture war. Depending on who you ask, it is either wasteful excess we must resist or the only sensible response and anyone urging caution is a zealot. A few thoughts in this 🧵

Why is the NYT surprised that yesterday was just another Saturday for us? American independence was certainly a world-historical event, but in terms of our own national consciousness, it’s a distant footnote. The French Revolution is more significant in that sense. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/04/w...

Devonians were horrified to learn last week of plans for a massive AI data centre near Great Torrington, north Devon. The proposals from company XLinks Ltd would cover 850 acres of farmland. But who owns the land? I decided to investigate. 1/ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Early Steam Machine user mourns "red line of death" following GPU failure.

How to speed up vitest: De-barrel everything so that the module graph gets smaller. Saves both processing + import time. And get rid of module mocks, which prevents many de-barelling opportunities.

We seem to have hit a nerve with this one and I'm completely blown away by the response. Close to 100,000 views in 24 hours for an academic paper on tabloid framing and the German heating law. I suspect it's because so many countries are watching the same playbook unfold at home.

This whole end of physical media thing is really affecting me. It’s not just having the disc - it everything around shopping, hunting for things, spending time with buddies. None of it matters to business but it makes me question why I bothered getting into the gaming space at all. Really sad.

Comparing the UK heatwaves of June 1976 and June 2026... Daytime maximum & night minimum temperatures were much hotter in 2026. Details: maxima over 21st-30th June in both years. Uses provisional 2026 HadUK-Grid data from Met Office NCIC. Note the difference scale is larger for night minimums.
