English is always verbing nouns and nouning verbs in America. Am I right.

Future water wars will include a Battle of Lake Vostok front And other under ice lakes in Antarctica

Idea: EOL planning built into software ownership A human centric *end of life* planning When a maintainer goes radio silence… When a code owner dies… Who inherits it? What are we doing about this? In Ruby land, could we put this into .gemspec files? In a signed EOL.md/LEGACY.md file or something?

3D satellite maps are pretty dang cool

Portland, Oregon has a Heat Advisory for May 3, 2026 > HEAT ADVISORY remains in effect > from 8AM to 11PM PDT Sunday... > > WHAT...temperatures up to 90 degrees F expected. > Significant cooling expected overnight. Heat advisory. In May.

It's so blindingly obvious when an LLM wrote/edited a YouTube video script. Even when it's performed by a human. Not detectable, not noticeable, not apparent. Obvious. That negative triple pattern. But *here's the really thing*, I can also tell because it uses this pattern too.

I reeeeally hate me some video thumbnail clickbait! If you have to lie in your thumbnail to get me to click (and maaaaaybe watch) your video, then: A) Make better videos 2) Rethink your life choices

25,950 Days since Chicago Cubs won a World Series home game and Game 5, 2016: 25,950 71 years 1945–2016 25,950 days --- I have lots to say about Cubs' 2015 & 2016 postseasons, but just this right now. 25,950 days.

Happy May Day! 🖤🏴

"as if there were two columns, but the second column is nothingness" …dark time to sign off and go touch grass

⚛️ A not fully formed thought… about Electron apps. People use Electron to build "native" apps. Because it's there. It's cross platform. It's Javascript land. And that's what they know. 1/2

"It's like podcasts — but for reading" Funny turn of phrase / sign of the times. - - - Whereas in mid-aughts, it was: "It's like blogs — but for listening"

🍎 A radical idea: Apple should open source Xcode (and friends) Let the massive user base of iOS/macOS developers help make the tooling better faster stronger

Today I was reminded that: Too Many Cooks 🎶 www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrGrO... Remember that day when it came out, with no preannouncement or explanation? What a different a different time on the (social) internet! RIP.

I've spent all weekend researching flamingos, and it's been an absolute blast! And I've actually been keeping notes, not just hyperfixated rabbit holing! Exclamation! 🦩 (not gonna talk about it online yet, but if you wanna know about it, ask me in person sometime)

Flamingo collective nouns: - Accepted: colony, stand - BEST: flamboyance 🦩✨

:45 minute really well produced youtube about the potential existential danger from quoteunquote super intelligence to humans, civilization, and all of life: > So what can you do about it? Head over here to take a 3 minute survey and sign up for our newsletter. We don't sell your data, promise!

IMO, dropping support for a recent minor version of Rails in a gem's patch/tiny version is absolutely unhinged 😳

We've got special edition Mt. Hood stickers to celebrate being in Portland for @tokioconf.com. Come snatch one up from @phinze.com before today is over!

Today I settle all family business… - Wash dishes - Cycle laundry - Mow lawn

Who do I know at GitHub these days? I need to report a thing privately. If you know me, send me your Signal pls. If you're a friend of a friend, have the friend connect us pls.

I love that to express "mobile, adventure, off-grid", the canonical best way to do that is a photo of a Vanagon out in nature somewhere 🚐🏔️ (Not an endorsement of Amazon Leo)

Space travel and the internet would not be possible without a lot of transisters, largely unseen and unappreciated 🖤

Words matter. If members of the American military get captured while in Iraq, they're not "hostages". They're prisoners of war.* Framing it as "hostage situation" is lazy at best and actively malicious at worst. Either way is dangerous.

Happy Rex Manning Day Eve, to all those who celebrate! Hopefully the world will exist for Rex Manning Day 🖤

Unstructured questionnaire: what do you call the concept / UI component that lists files and folders? Often, but not always, in a sidebar. Common in apps like text editors/IDEs. What are the names that various apps use for this? I have words that *I* use, but I'd like to learn other ones too.

In The World of Krypton #1 (1987), the green flying bots are very reminiscent of the Moebius droid from The Long Tomorrow

Why do coaches think that it's ok to come onto the court at all during live play? And why isn't it an immediate technical? Confounding. #MarchMadness

This is a perfect and complete short story

I love transitive property. It's my favorite of all the properties.

The Show with Ze Frank is what taught me to edit video the way that I do Which I don't do nearly as much as I'd like because oh my gods it's takes sooo looong to do I also really like The Format by them Green brothers too www.youtube.com/playlist?list...

Cool now do it to them in the streets Like French firefighters setting themselves in fire and charging a police line 🔥🧑🏻‍🚒

A bit and at byte both beginning with a B has caused decades of confusion With case sensitive abbreviations, kb and kB! With lazy typing, typos, ignorance, and marketing/design choices… it's very easy to get it wrong * — (I understand know what they are and the historical reasons for their names)

Medium spicy take— I don't like when YouTubers read their whole episode from a teleprompter. Most people aren't good at it, it just sounds like they're reading. Not talking. And it looks/sounds like uncanny valley AI video slop.

Scientists are still discovering how crucial mutual aid is to various life forms. The kind of transactional behavior we see in capitalist society is a long-term threat to collective survival. The anarchist Peter Kropotkin documented this in Mutual Aid: A Factor in Evolution, composed in the 1890s.

It would be fun/ny if both Purdue and Iowa win and end up playing each other, because they both have black and gold team colors.

Is there a way to use CSS variables in a media query? @media screen and (min-width: var(--small-tablet)) { }

🌸 We'll go where flowers grow Their attempts to silence and separate us—to make us vulnerable to repression and attack, to hold us back and keep us down—will never be more powerful than our love and joyous anarchy. 🏴

Does anyone know how to make ol' Cafe Flore's lemon berry cake? It was like Cap'n Crunchberries as a cake (complimentarily!) Actual berries in it. When they closed, a friend of a friend bought as much as they had and drove it LA to SF for me! Fittingly, it was the last photo I uploaded to Flickr.
