The NBC WCF “Wild West” hype video was far superior to ESPN’s “voices of the east”.

41/24 are 2K numbers

“An” implies ”one”, which is an entirely impractical number of e-bikes for a family. We currently have 3, unclear if that’s enough.

James Harden going 2-10 from the floor in a Game 7 and his team winning by 30 anyway is objectively hilarious

This dramatically understates the verbosity of AI workarounds.

Oh my god they actually did it. github.com/oven-sh/bun/...

“Federal Bureau of Control”-ass video

Important update: brat still whips

Today, I can’t submit review comments because > Error Failed to save comment: An internal error occurred, please try again.. I think the double period is my favorite part of the error message.

Don’t worry, everyone, GitHub API requests are fully available. So long as they don’t have to do with git operations, webhooks, issues, pull requests, actions, packages, pages, or codespaces, of course. www.githubstatus.com

This morning, I can’t submit reviews on GitHub because: > Unexpected token '<', "<!DOCTYPE "... is not valid JSON Neat.

Happy Zed 1.0 day to all who celebrate 🎉

I just don’t think that color banding is what “99%” is supposed to look like.

Just following up here: I have 400 fewer merged PRs in a repo than I had last week. Cool.

This morning, GitHub is reporting an inconsistent (and incorrect) number of PRs I’ve closed in a repository. Neat.

the github situation is crazy what do you mean you can just have random commits getting reverted

GitHub literally broke merging for several hours today. Incredible performance. Iconic.

Despite studying music technology and working as a software engineer for more than a decade, I’ve never actually understood how Shazam works until today. Fantastic post, really interesting and easy to follow!

“Websites”, famously insignificant to the global economy.

“I think the pope is weak on crime” is an all time banger shitpost.

Tag yourself, I’m “5 CANADIAN PRODUCTS”

I earnestly thought this was quite a funny joke. I did not for one second consider the possibility that anyone thought Claude would be upstream of bluesky feed loading.

“Tainted software list”-ass moderation decision

"Mass immigration is good, socially and economically; is the single most significant factor in America’s current position as the global locus of commerce and culture; we’ve been lucky to have it; and we should want more," writes @felipedlh.bsky.social. newrepublic.com/article/2080...

BIG urbanist wins !!! Today, Austin City Council voted for resolutions to: - Unbundle the cost of parking from rent - Explore parking maximums near transit - Create new "missing middle" zoning districts to allow more density in neighborhoods - Legalize small-scale neighborhood commercial uses

Am I losing my mind or did the font for GitHub PR titles in the list view change in the last ~2 hours?

Hook ‘em!

Hook ‘em

It turns out: you can have a little treat!

“Claude’s down” is the new “GitHub’s down”

This is why I still have a job

whoops

It’s truly awe inspiring how completely broken large cross-platform group chats are on iOS.

I did an impromptu lightning talk last night at Austin Systems, it was really fun! It’s a great meetup, @adamchalmers.com has done an amazing job of building a community. Attached are a representative sample of my slides.

This is also what human babies are like.

Three obviously true things: - the two party system is bad. - threatening not to vote for a candidate you don’t like is an entirely reasonable form of political discourse and persuasion. - it is highly unlikely even the worst dem nominee would be remotely comparable to Vance. Fascism sucks!

If she runs, I would strongly consider quitting my job to volunteer full time for the campaign.

I’ve read a whole stack of Le Carré novels, and 200 pages in, A Perfect Spy is _by far_ my favorite

Vegas really is the America of America

ohhh ‘democracy dies in darkness’ was aspirational

JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate. Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards. With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43. Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Steve is getting to the good stuff now.

Immigration is good. It is good for immigrants, and good for the country. We should have more of it, and our government should do everything in its power to encourage it. The current legal immigration system is an absurd, Byzantine, kafkaesque nightmare. Abolish ICE is the moderate position.

So… general strike?

or, to quote another reference that has been bouncing around in my head more and more over the past days, weeks and months: “there are four lights”

This is a _really_ excellent overview of the deranged, visionary(?) madness of Gas Town.

Pretty amused by Star Trek: Flirty Teens so far. - Holly Hunter can’t sit in a chair normal! - Unexpected basketball sequence! - “Kitten”!

I don’t think this take is even particularly warm, especially once you dig into the attributes that make LLMs more effective. This is essentially: - well tested, easy to verify - clear boundaries and interfaces - well organized and well named files/modules

the new best practices for Claude Code doc is really good. they chose their #1 rec very well. every CC user should be typing "Give Claude a way to verify its work" over and over on a typewriter in an empty hotel while their wife thinks they're working on a book code.claude.com/docs/en/best...
