Good article on the continuing flop that is the recent MacOS: tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-i...

This article is interesting, it discusses a sort of literary (not technical) approach to getting the most out of vibe-coding agents. sunilpai.dev/posts/seven-...

Sometimes I print things on other things.

Poor economic indicator

Small local disasters

I *think* I've completely migrated out of Day One and into Obsidian. Day One has been good to me, and is arguably better for the specific task of journaling, but I'm trying to be done with subscriptions.

A hacker known as Martha Root broke in and deleted three white supremacists websites at the end of a talk during the annual hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.

Who's got two thumbs and moved his creative workflow to Affinity from Sketch? I submitted no less than 4 bug reports this morning as Sketch crashed on my every move. It's a shame, I loved Sketch.

Bread making should be called "loafing" 🍞

Poached eggs over seasoned greek yogurt, smothered with chili crisp. Naan for scale. 🫓

I just finished up a little 'artwork' for Instagram I called "Marking the days" where I posted a calendar square for each day. Although I made each "by hand" in Sketch I followed a little algorithm for adding stickers, scribbles, etc.

📝 How To Dynamically Install Custom Elements A pattern I’ve been working on for a while. Load just the elements you are actually using. “Tree shaking” is trivial with HTML. heydonworks.com/article/dyna...

Wil Wheaton just triggered intense 90s nostalgia at a distance

I've seen whisky stones used exactly once at a friend's place. We realized quickly that they don't work, at all really. Also you risk getting your teeth cracked by a sudden avalanche in your glass. The stones went back in their box and never came out again.

Sometimes the touch controls on our microwave don't register my finger and I worry I might have died and I'm a ghost wandering the kitchen for eternity trying to warm up coffee

I installed Mint Linux on my 2012 MacBook Pro and it slaps.

I remember seeing this Thomas Eakins sketch when I was a kid (probably in a book?) and I was floored by the construction of reflections and ripples in water using a perspective grid. I've searched and I've never found a good description of this method. I wonder if Eakins invented it.

Trying to get my arms around Affinity now that Sketch is a slow crash machine.

This is a brilliant discussion of a brilliant movie. If you haven't seen "Wake up Dead Man" yet, the article is absolutely full of spoilers. reactormag.com/entirely-too...

This is an amazing story

I use t3.chat for my personal chat bot / search needs. My company standardized on Elvex. Elvex is fine…lots of ways to create preconfigured chats for specific purposes. Not bad! But slow! t3 is so very much faster. Responses just ping back from T3 zippy quick.

This wouldn't be that hard to implement. Most modern cars have cameras, radar, and other sensors for cruise control and lane recognition. Our 5-year old Toyota shows the current speed limit as a little icon on the dashboard. Wire that up to the accelerator. Bing bang boom.

I think the only real improvement in the latest macOS release is that when Safari auto-fills a password, it simulates typing so that shitty web form validation code works. The rest of it should go back to Tim Apple for review.
