Everyone is excited about Valve’s box shaped computer, but only one company dared to ship cube with one corner too few. #BoxeeBox

Introducing defaults-differ a tool for diff-ing macOS defaults preferences step 1: run default-differ step 2: change something in System Settings step 3: get `defaults` commands of the changes (profit?) github.com/notpeter/def...

It's wild that in 2004 @daringfireball.bsky.social synthesized an ascii-based spec for annotating text and now I (and millions of others) use backticks when writing. Not just code but prose too. Every single day. At some level, I often think in Markdown. Yikes.

@github.com: Please support emoji responses to Issues and PRs being closed. I want to 🎉 the merging of a long lived PR 👎 the premature closing of a legit issue and ❤️ an unmerged PR that wasn't quite up to snuff.

I'm checking the [noun] against the [source of truth] so I can answer precisely rather than hand-wave the [verb] behavior.

I've been using LOL in conversation for 30 odd years (ytalk, IRC, ICQ, AIM, etc) but more recently my brain is no longer processing it "Laughs Out Loud". Instead I see a man drowning. Won't someone please help him? lol

It's amazing how everything depends on GitHub and so much breaks when it's even a little bit unavailable. Today's example, JSON schema loading from jsonschemastore.org via yaml-language-server / vscode-json-language-server. No auto-complete for me!

Good news everyone! yaml-language-server now supports a more generic inline schema directive! Coming soon to YAML files in all your repos. github.com/redhat-devel...

Does anyone else experience a splotchy mess when transitioning from dark to light on their Macbook? This is a two week old 14inch M5 Macbook Pro Nano-Texture with default settings. None of the display options (Preset, True Tone, Refresh Rate, Brightness etc) seem to help.

RIP Zed Assistant (aka Zed Text Threads). By far my preferred method for one-off questions and quick conversations with LLM models. June 7th 2023 - March 31st, 2026 github.com/zed-industri...

Have you ever wondered why if you save an empty Rust file your editor might add a newline? I thought it was a @zed.dev bug, but turns out it's cause Zed by-default enables format_on_save and rust-analyzer. When rust-analyzer invokes rustfmt and that actually adds the newline. But why?

It took me far too long to realize Indeed was merging with GlassDoor and not NextDoor. For the life of me I couldn’t grasp the private equity AI fever dream where combining profiles of racist NextDoor comments and resumes of unemployed folks led to a profitable synergy.

One of my favorite parts of coding agents is that I can just say "fix my merge conflict". I will happily pay some number of pennies to outsource the first pass to a machine.

At a bar with "Mango Cart" on tap. It's amazing how fast this has fallen out of the lexicon. Juul mango pods (along with Creme, Fruit, Cucumber) were discontinued (US in 2019, Canada 2020) but before that were **super** popular with kids. The beer is a about a literal food cart that sells mango.

I don't live in Utah, but I think this would be a fun ride. Eating 10 Costco 1/4 Hotdogs would mean my body would be 1% Costco Dog by weight (2.5lbs/250lbs). That should probably auto-trigger an intervention. ggg.lmarx.com

I’ve hit a bug for years (5?) where my iPhone gets in a state where video refuses to play. Once it’s triggered no app can play video (YouTube, Hulu, TV, etc) until I restart the device.

Good news everyone! I’ve joined @oxide.computer! I’m super excited about my position, new coworkers, the organization and the Oxide rack and I’m looking forward to getting up to speed on everything. Happy Friday y’all!

Mass. Supreme Judicial Court slips opinion in Attorney General v Mystic Valley Regional Chart School. tldr: Massachusetts charter schools are agencies of the Commonwealth and thus subject to Public Records law (MGL Chap 66 § 10). www.mass.gov/doc/attorney...

Not a single streaming service has “random” or “I’m feeling lucky” button for television episodes. When watching Friends, no one wants to choose amongst 236 episodes — pick one and I’ll say yes/no.

We all deserve snow days. ⛄️ Any administrator pushing for 7hrs of zoom meetings for kids should be fired. Requiring employees to work during a state of emergency (especially w/o childcare) should be illegal for non-emergency jobs. It’s not hard: don’t expect work when things close for snow. ❄️

Sigh. Neither of these programs should exist. Citizens should be treated equally. Full stop. Airline security is not an Amazon Prime or Costco membership. While we’re at it, abolish the security theater around liquids, shoe removal, pocket knives and scale back the budget accordingly.

Sometimes AI can be part of a solution. But more AI isn't always the solution.

#hugops to GitHub SREs. In addition to the Actions/Issues outage `/sessions/sudo` took me more than a dozen attempts to succeed so things are still obviously not going great. Also, achievement unlocked: non-unicorn error message.

Would love it if the BlueSky iOS app had a “Save Video” feature like they do for images. I understand why Twitter/Facebook don’t want this (they would prefer you to share so they can measure/increase engagement) but would love it if BlueSky went a different way. Cc: @pfrazee.com

Why do none of the mainstream editors let you specify an arbitrary git ref to diff against? I know tools can diff two arbitrary commits in a compare view but I want this inline while editing. It appears VSCode, JetBrains and Zed only support inline diff against HEAD.

I found something where current LLMs struggle. Task: Update a Lua 5.4.0 patch set to work with Lua 5.4.3. Perhaps repeatedly generating patch tool patches for patching patches is just too much patching.

Congrats to @nereuxofficial.bsky.social on landing a neat feature in Zed. And thanks to Amos for sweetening the pot.

The clearest introduction to at:proto I’ve seen yet.

This does something funky on the iPhone if you press and hold. Looks like it confuses the iPhone’s edge detection algorithm for creating stickers and does this fun loop instead.

First day feedback on ChatGPT Codex CLI. It seems very oriented towards providing a numerical menu of next actions. Which seems ok? Nothing wrong with reducing my turn to "2" to trigger the second option in a list but it's definitely got a totally different flavor than Claude Code or Gemini CLI.

Using an Intel Macbook from 2020 isn't cool but ChatGPT Desktop only supporting Apple Silicon makes me sad. Yes, backwards compatibility is hard. Yes it has diminishing returns. But a web app in an Electron wrapper with cloud-hosted inference is not a compelling reason to upgrade. (Claude works).

Running Windows? Tired of seeing online search results show up when you search from the Start Menu or inside the Control Panel? Have I got good news for you.

Yikes. I wish bsky.app supported auto-saving drafts. A single alt-left and *poof* your draft thread is gone forever.

If I was @hankgreen.bsky.social I would exclusive use these Hank stamps.

Google's gemini-flash-lite is amazing and cheap. Task: image of a stamp, return json with postage rate, short description, keywords, etc. Image input token cost is 258 tokens per 768x768px tile (2-6 tiles per image for me). Processing 1028 images was ~$0.11 ~100 images per penny. Wow.

Yikes! Claude Code on the web / desktop app / mobile app is good. I've been happily using it the Claude Code CLI, but being able to kick-off sessions from one device (including from mobile), continue them elsewhere, then directly Open a PR for review feels like a super power.

Congratulations Leila and New York City. So many good things yet to come.

#HugOps to the Free Law folks. They do amazing work with ReCAP, CourtListener and so much more. Keeping them light in the new year!

I’m going to be the old man (41) who talks about understanding the code the AI generates and being able to write it by hand. The kids will say I’m out of date, and I’ll never be sure they’re wrong. The indignity will never be lost on me that I’m talking about hand-writing god damn Javascript.

Is there anything /less/ American than the idea that the only way to become an American is to be born into it?

Some people don’t like mayonnaise because they think it tastes gross and those people, they are wrong. Some people don’t like mayonnaise because they’ve seen it served from a bag-in-a-box and those people, they get a pass.

Seeing the increasing number of tariff lawsuits (yesterday Crocs filed a lawsuit for 55m, Costco 18B, etc) and impracticality of refunding consumers I’m calling it — Congress will try and pass a law to retroactively legalize tariffs (Supreme court won’t care) and will funnel refunds as tax returns.

Nothing says LLM security theater like Claude Code asking for permission to run `cat filename` in the terminal to read a file in the project folder. It has tools for that, but sometimes, like a human, it prefers the hard way. We are still obviously in the early days of all this mess.

So glad we gave up on solving global warming for this. A+ use of scarce energy and compute resources.

I’m not a fan of smart home stuff in general — but can’t imagine what smarts a toilet could possibly posses. I sure hope there’s no camera, microphone or speaker.
