Now we're getting somewhere.

It's amazing seeing how far WASM has come. WASM + OffScreenCanvas in the browser opens up some incredibly performant options for cross platform apps. #golang #wasm #gis

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

I commute 35 miles a day, I charge at home every other day at the cost of $1.50 per charging session. Everything else is just icing on the cake. thehill.com/opinion/tech...

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

Does anyone else find it crazy that you can walk into a bookshop and be charged £9.99 for a paperback novel that took the author a year to complete, but £17.99 for a completely blank notebook?

If scarcity is how society truly values things, then anything AI delivers must now be low value. But it's not all bad news, poorly written books, poorly executed art, and poorly written code have always been low value.

If the answer to the problem at hand (foreign or domestic) is to send in the military, then you've already lost, and what happens next is just some version of "If I can't have it I'll just destroy it." See also: Putin.

I've been off my road bike for 2.5 years. I saddled back up this weekend and embraced the suck. My Garmin was like... Zzzz... What the hell? What are you doing? Are we being chased by a bear?!

I think about this comic at least once a week

Even AI can't figure out to make CSS work right. 🤦

If you're not being shown loyalty, you owe no loyalty.

I'm putting a tariff on the word "tariff"! Hooked up an arcade dispenser to give me a ticket every time that god-forsaken word shows up on my computer screen. 20 tickets == 1 beer

So much insecurity around AI... Look folks, it's not going to take your job, but you may lose your job to SOMEONE who knows how to apply AI to your domain. No one taught you how to use your phone, and yet here you are reading this post. Learn how to leverage AI and improve your efficiency. #AI

“The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people are so full of doubts.” –Bertrand Russell, A History of Western Philosophy (1946) Never was a truer thing said, in my humble experience, and it applies to almost every aspect of life.

You can totally see how this mf bankrupted a casino.

Visiting Costco on an empty stomach may lead to my financial ruin.

Hello, I’m a disruptor, very smart, here to create efficiency. I’m just going to drill holes in the bottom of this boat to see which parts of the hull are mission-critical.

Technology is easy, people are difficult.

Oh, the irony. Doesn't this prove that the applicant knows how to use the company's products? I thought that was considered a plus...

We're all still benefiting from Apple buying NeXT all those years ago. I guess that's why I decided to fiddle with the wireless MAC address on my new MacBook to fake out my Eero. What can I tell you, I'm easily amused. 🤷

Grab a coffee, learn about Deepseek, and understand why synthetic training datasets are... concerning. In the same way that Oklahoma leaving the uglier parts of history out of school textbooks is... concerning. (Zoom forward to 26:20 if you're short on time) www.youtube.com/watch?v=by9P...

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” - Dr. Martin Luther King

I didn’t realize someone had done a documentary on BBSs (70’s/80’s/90’s) in 2005, you can download it for free now… and just like that my Sunday is gone. Hit by the nostalgia bus. www.bbsdocumentary.com

Not that you need me to confirm, but I can. I'm having the same levels of success using Qwen 2.5 LLM to migrate a C# codebase to golang.

“Do you remember that thing you browsed online 3 months ago? Do you? Do you? Dooo yooou? How about now? What if I show it to you? Do you see it? Do you see it now? I know you did. I’ll show you again. Look! Here it is. I SAID LOOK AT IT.” -Targeted Ads

Gather round kids and let me tell you a story about a real technology ban...

Took my first pass at converting a production app written in C# to #golang today using the Qwen 2.5 LLM. Turned it loose on the media player base class and it crashed itself trying to walk/resolve/define all of the classes the base class depends on. Sooo, dependencies first... got it.

VSCode with #Cline plugin connected to a local LM Studio running Qwen 2.5 14B LLM on an M4 pro... Programming prompt compiled and ran the second time after it self-corrected, all tests pass. Code generation took less than a minute to complete. 😳 @lmstudio-ai.bsky.social @vscode.dev

I'm starting to notice a trend here. Even though I have muted words for trump and maga, I have lots of posts getting through now because they're screenshotting X posts from trump and not mentioning trump or maga in the text or alt. I guess I'll just have to start blocking. @bsky.app

Spent the day with huggingface.co/lmstudio-com... Running it with #lmstudio on an M4 pro, performance is very good, results of coding prompts to generate #csharp or #golang have been spot on with very few exceptions. If you're a dev in any language, you need to wrap your head around this.

Sometimes I return text/plain instead of application/json, just to feel something

Wow. Right between the eyes.

Just discovered the #Wails project for #golang. Looks amazingly well thought out. wails.io

If you think about it, the very best books are really just extremely long spells that turn you into a different person for the rest of your life

Hey @theonion.com what about starting a Go Fund Me or something so that the rest of us could pitch in and help you out with the bidding? I'm no billionaire, but there are more of us than there are of them.

A key part of being a software developer is having a "this is too much" detector.

WASM is getting ready to break out

For those of you trying to shoehorn AI into your product: AI is an idea generator, not a solution generator.
