On people triggered by programming language critiques: People are too easily triggered IMO, but also, I want to turn the Internet back into a giant flame war between geeks comparing Programming Languages and Operating Systems, because that's way better than whatever the hell this is.

That's pretty cool, maps.google.com seems to be using Filament now. I found its symbols in the WASM file used by the site.

The problem: heavily algorithmic feeds are disconnected from your own curation of who you follow, and they are weirdly out-of-order for any events. On the other hand, unfiltered Following can just be too much, and you miss posts from quieter accounts. 2/7

Cash Android has recently switched to Metro, a new, fast dependency injection framework built for K2. That was a fun project and we're really happy with the results! Sharing details on how we approached the migration to help teams adopt Metro: code.cash.app/cash-android...

Teams organised around technology stacks and technical disciplines have about as much chance of achieving a business goal as a sack full of ferrets has of changing a lightbulb. Smart companies organise around business outcomes. codemanship.wordpress.com/2025/11/04/p...

I use URL search parameters to open dialogs. URL structure: /[workspaceSlug]/pipeline/[pipelineName]/[pipelineVersion] Examples • /[workspaceSlug]/?new • /[workspaceSlug]/?settings • /[workspaceSlug]/pipeline/?new • etc. Each dialog knows when to open/close. No global state to track any of that.

A thoughtful post by Anil Dash the fact that users want to use AI. www.anildash.com/2025/11/14/w...

When your blog post starts with an obviously AI-generated cover that adds no value to it, I'm quite likely to just close the page immediately instead of scrolling past it.

What's the biggest airport in Canada that doesn't have daily flights to YYZ ?

Oops.

Am I doing this right

I got a warm feeling seeing ‘@author Bob Lee’ in Signal’s source code. He was a kind friend and he built so much.

This is fantastic and @zacsweers.dev deserves all the praise but it also is gonna give you a false idea of what Z is like as a maintainer and author, what the project is like, and how you might achieve something like this yourself

my toxic engineer trait is that I'm basically allergic to code all code is bad. the less code the better. why are you writing new code stahp *sprays devs with squirt bottle*

Seeing more places where the City of Kitchener rebuilt a street and put in a continuous sidewalk where the main street crosses a side street, as if it was no big deal. Which it isn’t! But it absolutely rules

so @matteowong.bsky.social & I wrote on data centers: arguably the most important buildings in the world & are, in a way, holding the economy hostage. Byzantine financial instruments, private equity, depreciating tech, hype, $trillion valuations. it’s all there. an ai crash prob starts here.

it has been a while, but whoo, new bloggery: "wastrel, a profligate implementation of webassembly" https://wingolog.org/archives/2025/10/30/wastrel-a-profligate-implementation-of-webassembly

"lower quality for much lower effort" is probably the source of much of the continuing enshittification of most consumer services, even the ones not mediated by AI.

Solid move tbf.

Last week I sat up in the middle of the night with an epiphany, ‘Doritos Locos Tacos, but Cool Ranch!’ Today at my local food court I was stunned to learn that this product of my dreams was already real. But – tragically – not delicious.

It is just not at all in doubt that the Region of Waterloo speed cameras work. Like it or not, but drivers have slowed the hell down in those school zones with the cameras, and even without

This discussion on how Kotlin should expose time zone data is super thoughtful. Whatever the outcome I sure appreciate the process.

Google Maps notify police if you go over the speed limit for more than 3 seconds

This addresses every substantive concern with the speed cameras. Everything else is either a desire to enable drivers to break the law with impunity or hostility to municipal governments as a class

GM kills BrightDrop electric van production, blames ‘slow demand’ as sales were ramping

There are fewer more satisfying things than deleting code and thereby reducing the surface area of stuff that needs to be maintained and can go wrong. Good thread:

Every politician works around the clock to avoid dealing with this simple truth. To make housing affordable, you need to bring down property values. People need to know and understand this. But its political suicide to tell someone their 400k that's now valued at 1.8million will be a 400k home.

A box of 8 Timbits is actually a Timbyte.

I am not at all joking. On his second run he crashed so hard he had to be airlifted from the site.

said it forever and i’ll say it again for you guys in the cheap seats, it’s cool to be nice. being a huge dork is punk rock in its own way. be the full sized candy bars house at halloween. return the shopping carts. pick up that little piece of trash on the sidewalk. it’s cool to be mister rogers.
