Gave exe.dev a spin today. I used it to turn a pdf of a half-marathon training plan into a calendar view for tracking workouts between specific start and race dates, all while I was putting away Christmas decorations. I think I could get used to this

Tetris has nothing on trying to fit all the ornament boxes back into a storage tub after Christmas

Keep spending most our lives living in a

hello all! if you’ve been tracking your plays, we made you a year-end thing. we’re not data scientists, but we tried crunching your numbers anyway. your top tracks, listening patterns, and all the stats you (probably?) didn’t know you wanted. happy new year from all of us! yearinmusic.teal.fm

2 upsides to the Chiefs loss today: - This won’t be the year that Buffalo finally beats us in the playoffs - The Broncos don’t get the chance to eliminate us on Christmas

The Chiefs needed to stop losing one score games this year but not like this

I guess not even the Chiefs can win a game with one good quarter and 3 absolute disasters

1. You can't prevent incidents by expecting people to just pay more attention. 2. Creating a process for people to follow is just a formal way of saying "pay more attention". Design systems to prevent problems from happening even when people aren't paying attention.

TIL that the 1Password cli can be completely unusable during a cloud outage. I'd just assumed it'd be able to use data from the 1Password desktop app on the same machine even when offline but nope.

This sounds reasonable but is 100% wrong. Whether you or agree or disagree with a study is completely immaterial. What matters is whether the study was conducted properly and generates valid results. And it's impolitic to say but it's true: you have to have some level of expertise to judge that.

In the latest instance of xkcd.com/1279/ someone has inadvertently gifted me with a Walmart+ trial account. Of course I won't take it but I wish there was some way to let this person know what a bad idea that was.

How in the world did that get called as intentional grounding? It was obvious in realtime that the path of the ball changed after it was thrown and was probably tipped

Today I learned that going through preclearance in the US terminal of the Vancouver airport means that you are legally back in the US. Does that mean all the Tim Hortons in the US terminal are actually Canadian embassies?

Learned a lesson about @flox.dev today. The more stuff you have in a default environment the more likely it is that you’ll accidentally leave something out of a project environment because it’s already available. Won’t be obvious until someone else tries to use the project without your default env

We lost power while I’m out of town and none of the nodes in my raspberry pi k8s cluster came back up. Now I’m anxious to get back and figure out what happened

Poutine is pretty good but something feels wrong about eating french fries with a fork

Vancouver landmark achievement unlocked

There are signs in the men’s rooms of the Vancouver convention center that say that the urinals use non-potable water not intended for consumption and I’m very concerned about the sequence of events that lead to those signs being installed

After seeing this recommendation I spent a little time this morning deploying an Uptime Kuma instance on fly.io with access to monitor my Tailscale network and send notifications with Pushover. Can confirm that it is indeed delightful.

I’m going to be in Vancouver next week, staying near the convention center. Any recommendations for good places to eat? I’m open to trying just about anything.

Ugh, yep this was enabled automatically for me. I have Windows 11 Pro. I bought the expensive version and they’re treating it like a free product that they have to aggressively monetize with data collection.

Finally sharing what I’ve been building for almost a year now! 🐢✨ Atuin Desktop: runbooks that run It’s open source and in open beta now 🥰 Built for engineers who need repeatable, reliable workflows. No more copy-pasting from slack or outdated docs

I don't put a lot of CTA's out but I'm asking for help on this one. Missouri has a couple tools to fight the republicans here trying to steal congressional seats from left wing voices in the state and permanently make it ruby red. But we need help. Please donate or spread the word!

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

you cannot be disparaged by your own words... people cannot attack you with your own ideas if ones words are repeated and they are viewed unfavorably that is not a reflection of the one who repeats it is a reflection of the author

Kansas City (and Jackson County) had its single democratic rep stolen by the republican party state dictatorship yesterday and it hardly made the news. To turn our district red, republicans redistricted KC residents to share a representative with people who live 3 hours away.

Let me say what the President won't: Domestic violence is not okay. It's immoral, illegal and abusive, and no real man is okay would do it, approve of it, or minimize it.

AND IT WAS A SCORIGAMI?!

A week one game has no business being as wild as this Bills/Ravens game has been

Not sure whose fault it is primarily that most people don't seem to know that the president is basically a manager whose job is to carry out the will of Congress, and not The Country's Boss

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

This is too soon, I still haven’t come to terms with Mass Romantic turning 20

If you understand what software engineering as a career actually entails (lots of people and organizational problems, understanding legacy code and tradeoffs) you are at a career advantage over those who understand the job as just producing code. Those jobs could be replaced. But that ain’t the job

A few days ago we noticed a nest of baby birds hidden behind a wreath in our door. Last night they were out of the nest sitting on the wreath. This morning the nest was empty. But don’t worry, this isn’t causing me to project any feelings about my own kids growing up AT ALL.

The plugin design tools for @usetrmnl.com are pretty great. I was able to build my first plugin on a virtual device while waiting for the hardware to arrive. Can't wait to actually see it!

The habaneros aren’t doing very well this year. This is all we’ve got so far, barely enough for a spoonful of hot sauce

Wait, no not like that

Why did they call him Muad'Dib and not Mouse Atreides?

My zsh start time got bad enough after upgrading to Sequoia that I finally had to debug it. Zprof didn't help so I just commented out things in .zshrc. Found gimme trying to exclude one of its directories from Time Machine backups and that command was taking 11 seconds! github.com/travis-ci/gi...

me after I finally finish some incredibly minor task that I’ve been avoiding for no good reason

wow, this bluebird box product page goes hard

Why doesn’t the built in iOS voice memos have an app in CarPlay?

Set up my own Atuin sync server running on my homelab k8s cluster docs.atuin.sh/self-hosting... and then with one extra annotation for the Tailscale operator I can access it from anywhere over my tailnet

I told you we’d be back

Very impressed with @atuin.sh desktop so far. When it was announced I didn’t understand how it related to Atuin or how it would be different from something like Jupyter. After trying it out though I realized that this was actually something I’d been wanting for a long time.

Walking the dog

What if a monarch gets installed before the board of airline pilots with magical military weapon kill-switches gets created? Oh well, I'm sure it won't be a problem.
