Didn't watch the game but I have been told, and the stats also show, that even though mister Scaloni said Portugal was dominated by Colombia, at least Portugal played to win in regular time versus Spain, while Argentina played for penalties.

I truly love that LLMs really believe that if the project uses Kotlin 2.4.0 then we need some KSP 2.4.0 to go with it, and when it doesn't find it goes versions below (not 1 minor below) to something like 2.2.0

TIDAL will increase prices which is a bit sad overall, I think I will stick with them, but I am also thinking that now YT Premium with YT Music makes a bit more sense. Sadly YT is unwatchable without Premium (I know I am very much spoiled).

This is actually so promising, I hope to celebrate even more by the end of the season!

Men who have never read a book are learning so much from The Odyssey. It’s heartening.

With the current ease of generating working code I think we will probably evolve software engineering towards the engineering part (doing more design and pattern selection, architecture evolution and integrations).

Also thank you @bpavuk.neocities.org for OpenRouter, I've been using it a lot more and trying out some free models even for agentic coding. It's also funny while using OpenRouter to see how Pi has to course correct the interactions depending on the models (it does it by itself), specially in edits

My hopes and dreams got de-railed, DeepSeek backstabbed me by hallucinating an Apple Music SDK for Android. Good that I always ask for links to the things it finds, and of course github.com/apple/musick... gives a 404...

Let me share the '.kar' (Kotlin Archive) file format 🙇‍♂️! A single binary you can publish, which shall carry everything necessary to build your project! While this is a prototype, I really would like to share some of our early measurements! 🥳

What if you could leave a social platform without leaving your community? @brittanyellich.com explains how the AT Protocol lets you own your identity, your data, and your social graph, opening the door to a more open, portable, and developer-friendly web. 🌐 youtu.be/_ZrChpf8FZ8

I've received and started to read Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture Vol.1 I'm actually surprised at how nice it is so far. The worst part will be if it's good and I cannot find the epub for the next two volumes so I can only read physical copy and no night time reading.

It's actually, in my opinion, the best approach. I don't think we should ban AI assisted coding anywhere even in more Mission Critical software, but if we do use it we need to be open about it. But AI won't go away, even if/when the bubble bursts, we're too far ahead already.

i want to do a little ✨ ama about atproto ✨ in this thread. no question is too simple if you’ve been curious about atproto but don’t know much (anything?) about it, ask any question and i’ll try to explain it in my own words. (+ would love to hear from friends who aren’t very active on bsky)

Senior citizens are seeing massive cuts to social safety net programs and sharp increases in costs for healthcare because of Trump's enormous tax cuts benefiting the ultra-wealthy and corporations. This was not unforeseen. #Trump

"Diesel is more expensive than reference price in the last 42 days" I would introduce a cool extra tax on pumps and oil companies, if they are more expensive by X% for half of each quarter and you post profits that quarter you should give the government 1/2 of those profits. Easy fix.

I knew that my failed fascination of Perl in highschool had to do with something, I'm apparently a "founder with facial hair" coder. What breaks it is Kotlin though.

Xbox is cutting 4,800 jobs. 20% of the entire division. Microsoft's excuse? "AI is changing work." Their spending? $176 billion on buybacks. Tax breaks? $12.5 billion last year. Please don't tell me this is about technology. It's about profits. Nothing trickles down.

I've written down a few thoughts about the attention pyramid. Curious if you agree? www.liutikas.net/2026/07/12/A...

It's amazing how I manage to get food poisoning before I come back to work tomorrow. Oh well let's see how it goes.

I have researched quite a bit and running a realistic good model locally needs an investment of ~4k €. Therefore it is something that I still want to do but while building up that extra nest egg, I will still continue to use the DeepSeek remote API. It's extremely cheap, and so far I'm satisfied.

Disgusting officiating in the extra time. Might as well have Infantino say it's England to advance and be done with it.

So far my agentic engineering is working minimally well. I won't say that it's perfect but honestly a lot of the boilerplate is then done for me. Of course I must also be quite clear that this is a greenfield project, there is no tech debt, I am basically creating it now by prompting.

‘…we need to achieve a minimum of 40% street tree canopy cover, and preferably more, before we start to really feel the benefits of nature’s most advanced air-conditioning technology.’ Me, for Big Issue, on tackling urban #heatwaves…👇 www.bigissue.com/opinion/heat...

On my own website, because I realised that even though it does not have any users current that it is public, I wrote a very short privacy policy, to say that I would just count the amount of visits to individual pages and then also to explain what is saved in the server DB.

Probably wrong social network to complain about this, but, Mastodon is such a pain in the ass to perform login. It's a bit weird and convoluted. But I have done something already, I am quite happy now.

Germany has made public transport so expensive that when more than 1 person needs to move and they don't have Deutschlandticket it's more expensive than a taxi/Uber.

I am vibe coding but pretending I am doing agentic engineering. But I do ask the agent to sign all commits with a different name so I can judge later on. I also am very curious to know how much I will do and how much the agent will.

Got my Pixel 9a out of a drawer. Seems nice. Even though Nothing has a very barebones snappy Android version, Pixel's Vanilla keeps beating the lot.

FOM committing the same exact mistakes Bernie did 30 years ago is fantastic. Going for the show not for the substance...

If copilot subscription from my company would allow me to use pi.dev I would definitely use this package! For my hobby projects I am basically coding by myself, not sure how much I would "rage against the machine".

been playing around with pi.dev lately. very nice, very minimal, has Neovim feel to it, but you gotta trust those plugins, and they are distributed over npm... anyhow I created mine for rofls, check it out :D pi.dev/packages/@bp...

I really wanted to cast audio from my Android device or my Linux laptop to my Sonos stereo pair. But they do not have the functionalities. I should use my weekend to deep dive on it.

So Meta seems to be struggling, even after the shift to AI. Microsoft also seems to be struggling and basically they will divest from gaming. The big players are starting to actually contract, and it seems it is tied to AI. Is the bubble about to pop?

O título e a notícia. A boa imprensa.

Hey so, if you use Waymo driverless car services, you are aiding and abetting fascism. Waymo helps ICE agents locate people to terrorize and abduct. The company willingly shares all facial recognition, license plate and GPS data with ICE and other law enforcement agencies—no subpoena required.

Not fire if Nothing just did a Seppuku by making and releasing a phone that has a bit bigger battery life but worse SoC and a bit bigger in all measurements and weight for 20€ less. I'm talking about the 4(a) and the new 4(b)

Feels like ages ago. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who disagrees with this trajectory nowadays, but back then it felt almost like a taboo in some circles.

Not gonna lie nothing.tech does some very nice phones. I just charged my Phone 2, and it's great experience for something that was never a flagship phone.

I'm very nervous, I just did something I've never done before and it's kind of a shot in the dark, but who knows!

Now @f1tv.bsky.social you also have Crofty remembering 2021. Be less biased, and it's been half a decade already. Then in a week Crofty will be a victim of abuse online or some crap...

@f1tv.bsky.social this is unacceptable. And why I don't really follow along and continue to be a spectator for every race. #Boring

Why don't we do safety car laps are not valid laps? Oh people will complain about fuel? Maybe they should bring more, be more efficient. Who knows! Ending a race in Safety Car or 1 lap before is BS (including 2021 and now)

Clearly RB has the best engine, someone with a worse engine and better aero can have a puncture and be faster than fastest engine... @f1tv.bsky.social please don't forget to remind the FIA that their regs and tests are BS.

To be completely honest, F1 kind of dropped off in my interest list. Partly because of Verstappen and Red Bull not having a good enough car, but also because there's not a lot of strategy anymore. It feels too much of an artificial race so it ain't fun. It's also interesting if Antonelli wins it.

I am miserably a procrastinator.

Eu teria uma ideia parva, e que tal meter mais médicos com bom salário nas zonas rurais? Para incentivar mais gente a voltar a essas zonas? Até porque pessoas jovens não adoecem tanto logo médicos nas zonas rurais com população mais envelhecida seria inteligente.

Holy molly I thought it was already 19:00 and later, probably because it is cloudy outside.

I want to finish my current hobby project today, mainly try to make it prettier before publishing it. It's a KMP mobile app, but first release is Android only (I don't want to look at iOS for now).

It's actually funny how I have a public Github repo for my blog (I extremely rarely write there). I don't remember why it's public, but I think it's because then the CI is free, and I use it to publish posts (it auto-gens from MD files the posts).
