I have two NuPhy Air75 V2s, a white and a black. Both have the exact same switches (Moss). The Black is noticeably crisper and snappier, while the White feels softer like there's some kind of impact dampening happening. Again, same board and switches. Only difference is color. I f--king *hate* it

They really don't make PBT caps like they used to

The problem is that you often have to exert more force upon the institutions of hate/fascism/bigotry/war/violence than they espouse themselves. That's often an abhorrent position for a reasonable person to take. But it's the only method that actually *works*.

Yup. Still got no clue what problems people are having with iTerm. Does the job, does it well. For me at least.

Say what you will about Apple's prices, but I have an 11 year old set of Magic Keyboard / Trackpad that look and work just the same as when I bought them.

Ok CSS anchor positioning is friggin' sweet. Material-style tabs in pure CSS codepen.io/rossipedia/p...

I think one of the most staggering industry shifts in my 16 years as a tech reporter is that it’s not become a question of “should our product help the government kill and/or surveil people?” but “to what extent?” www.anthropic.com/news/where-s...

“Anthropic has much more in common with the Department of War than we have differences” is a genuinely stunning statement given current events both at home and abroad

Github... come on, get a grip y'all. I know you don't need to hear that daily outages are not a good look but... they're just not a good look.

Lemme clear this up: Bros = bad Your bros = good

I do not like the devaluing of the *craft* of programming. Don't like it one bit.

Meta and "privacy" don't even live on the same planet. Anybody who assumed otherwise is just willfully ignorant at this point.

Wordle 1,719 5/6 Had no clue that guess #4 was a real word. Just typed shit in at random ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

The more I learn about how engineers are using AI agents, the more depressed I get. This is soul-sucking joyless middle-management stuff. This tech has turned passionate engineers into glorified project managers. This sucks.

Phew, userstyles to the rescue. npmx is actually usable now

Apple, I am begging you. Release an external standalone TouchID dongle, or at very least add an external TouchID sensor that can be used when the laptop is in clamshell mode.

So I was kinda meh about the God of War TV show Until I found out who the showrunner is.

Nobody's worried about the skin condition. If anything we're hoping for the worst possible outcome.

I'll always cherish my years at Stack Overflow, but man... I don't even know wth is going on over there anymore

iOS voice dictation seems to have gotten a lot worse lately

Something about the npmx.dev visual styling makes it uncomfortable to use. Haven't quite nailed down exactly why yet.

I keep clicking "Show fewer shorts" and yet YT never does.

TBH, I just have no interest in reading or reviewing AI generated code. Like... at all. It's like I have an aversion to it, actually. I want to ask a person why they chose one pattern over the other. I want to understand the thought process behind the code. I want to know *why*.

I'm a million percent NOT on board with the Iran thing. But Russia? Sit this one out.

Unless there's a good reason not to, pick the boring, existing solution that is already in-use at your workplace. Be considerate of your coworkers. Don't build using "the hot new thing" just because you want to. The choices you make impact your fellow engineers. You're a professional, act like it.

I'm honestly a little mad I can't experience Andor for the first time again.

The culture of "engineering" in web development is dying. You can't water a garden with acid rain and expect the soil to stay healthy and good things to grow.

The void

I'm so sick of the desperate need for relevance.

PSA for Safari on iOS 26 users: you can go to Settings, Apps, Safari and change the bottom bar style to make it more iOS 18-like.

"Saying that any of this is teaching a chatbot philosophy is like calling yourself a psychiatrist because you thought about Oedipus while jacking off." 😵

TIL that OTEL's JS implementation uses `Object.entries()` for the implementation of `span.setAttributes()` an I kinda died a little inside

My day so far: "It's a nice day out, lemme open the window, get some fresh air" *humidity drops from 37% to 9%" "Ya know on second thought... maybe not"

Hot take: Social isolation has net benefits to humanity at large.

I don't actually have particularly strong objections to robots taking on tasks like rescheduling appointments, if it works reliably. But not disclosing it upfront is a shitty, deceptive practice, on top of the fact that you've interrupted someone's day with something that DOESN'T FUCKING WORK

Seeing a lot of inaccurate alterations to captions on YouTube, I'm assuming that they're LLM-generated. That's *extremely* worrying. When audio says one thing, but the captioning says something different.... oof Not good

If the craft of hand-coded software engineering is dead... then so am I.

So awesome to know that whatever you may make, whatever you put your heart and soul into creating / making / building, is going to get fed into the LLM training meat-grinder...

Efff... I'm entering my Les Paul phase.

Gaaaaaaaaawd shut uuuuuuuuup

Yes, because what we've seen isn't "bad enough" yet. If the needle hasn't moved with what we've seen so far, this is just head-in-the-sand escapism. We've seen enough. Seeing more monstrous atrocities won't suddenly summon the torches and pitchforks and guillotines we desperately need.

Every time I hear/read somebody say "AI is never going to stop getting better" I just wanna check their blood for mercury levels.

Oh look, Lutnick's family bought up a bunch of tariff repayment rights at pennies on the dollar. I'm absolutely shocked I tell you.

The USSC has ruled the tariffs unconstitutional and authorized almost $200B in tariff repayments. Watch where that money *actually* goes. There's always another grift.
