All the employees at @planetscale.com are sponsoring open source projects and their maintainers today. My choice: @pgrx.bsky.social, which lets us write PostgreSQL extensions using Rust. github.com/pgcentralfou...

arborium v2.4.3 is out with: - non-broken typescript typings - groovy & wit lang support - arborium-cli: new! - miette-arborium: no longer broken arborium.bearcove.eu#rust

The core of the Atmosphere is using the PDS to store user's records, just like desktop apps use the filesystem. Desktop apps interoperate using files. Atmosphere apps interoperate using repo records. That's the ethos that I highly doubt will ever change.

There is something about a good refactor that just hits different

And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and smash those like and subscribe buttons

Today was a good one

Anyone have any gripes with Dioxus? Its fullstack DX seems a little too good to be true.

IM ALSO CONFUSED ABOUT THE TARIFFS LITTLE GUY

tech bros keep promising self-aware ai when they haven't even cracked making self-aware tech bros

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Coming back to Rust and Zig is a breath of fresh air from Python

Does anyone have an example of using jacquard’s OAuth client not on localhost? I was thinking of giving the statusphere example a shot using jacquard and axum to see how far I could get but I’m a little confused on how to map OAuth.

today we landed a @svelte.dev feature i'm pretty stoked about — we call it 'forking', and it lets you run state changes offscreen and later choose whether to commit them (e.g. user hovers on a link, preload data in case they click) - docs svelte.dev/docs/svelte/... - demo svelte.dev/playground/a...

Opinions are like Git commits: constantly revised, poorly documented, and everyone blames the previous version.

ChatGPT’s new Atlas browser doesn’t just see what you read — it remembers it. @eff.org’s Lena Cohen showed me it even logged “memories” of her looking for *abortion care* and her doctor’s name. Out-surveils even Chrome. My @washingtonpost.com column: wapo.st/49bOcVC

Using jj to create a commit before the commit I am working on is sooooo nice. I could do it in git, but it would not be fun.

Working on a project at work and its the first time I have used pre-commit hooks and I kinda like it? It fixes all the fiddling I do in neovim with formatting which is actually really nice!

So at a high level, if I want to build a new experience on ATProto, I need some way to authenticate users (OAuth to their pds), some way to store data as a lexicon (on a user’s pds), and someway to store lexicons changing (usually through the firehose or jetstream). Is this the right mental model?

This was a really fun graphic to make. I was on the fence for a bit if it was too much or not, really glad I went with it

atmosphere devs! 🧑‍🚀 just published a protocol checkin: docs.bsky.app/blog/protoco... tl;dr expect to see a lot of updates from us in the next few months. we're hard at work on making AT easier to build on & ensuring the network remains a resilient foundation for the future of open social

He's not kidding 🙏 Sam reviewed a side project of mine recently with arugably more care & attention than I did making it. The feedback was thorough & thoughtful - thank you! 🫶

Nice to see a @servo.org release! #rustlang servo.org/blog/2025/10...

That wasn't very data driven of you, bro

Using Fortran to write web UIs via WASM, is this anything?

The @cosmik.network is just getting started, including convening ATProto x Science in the forum discourse.atprotocol.community/t/intros-and... Cosmik has stepped up to sponsor, as well as flesh out a side event focused on science comms & sense making on ATProto ahead of the main conf.

To the people who are good at CSS, know that you are loved and appreciated today

5 million of them are about research

Built cryptographically-verified endorsements for at://work. The core innovation isn’t just cryptography, it’s the consent model. Both parties must explicitly agree to create a verified attestation. This changes how trust networks form. @atwork.place #ATProtocol

I switched back to neovim, but maybe I should give helix another spin, I like the idea of something a little more out of the box.

We’re pleased to announce Sage 2.3.0 Release Candidate 2 (rc2)! Sage 2.3.0 will be the first OpenFF force field to use the AshGC neural network charge model, which was trained to AM1BCC ELF10 charges, and allows for rapid charge assignment for molecules with hundreds or thousands of heavy atoms.

I’m gonna be honest, I don’t miss the airport life.

The latest #AlphaFold DB update is out! We synchronised with UniProt release 2025_03, predicted protein isoforms across all species, and provide MSAs used to generate each prediction. Proud of the team at the PDBe for the hard work that went into this. Grateful to play my part in it!

I wonder if we could leverage ORCID to create Bluesky verification records for researchers. It would allow for scientists to become validated by their own body of work and is something already used in the community.

Neovim builds using the Zig toolchain is a huge step in showcasing the power of Zig and its build system. I would love to see some Zig code start to trickle into the codebase but this is a great start! hachyderm.io/@neovim/1153...

The reality is that scanning any content before it is encrypted (or after! or during!) negates the very purpose of encryption and is a dangerous backdoor. No amount of tinkering or word games can change that inescapable reality. 5/

The war is not over, however. Now we move to the European Council, where the issue is unresolved. We expect closed-door negotiations to engage in rhetorical arbitrage--claiming to support privacy via word games and bespoke definitions--while in practice undermining it. Tedious & dangerous stuff. 3/

One day the industry will recognize the drawbacks of AI agents and nondeterministic automation, and rediscover the UNIX philosophy of chaining together small purpose built tools in a low cost and predictable way, otherwise known as shell scripts.

This but YAML is the bane of my existence. Every day I wish more things used HCL.

Breaking down silos is filling my heart this week. Love getting to be around awesome people supporting awesome research!

Fortran has support for pure functions? Is this my Fortran arc?

On my way to #usrse2025! Looking forward to meeting new folks!

the real type safety is the errors we caught along the way

Successfully merged a part I designed with an assembly for another part in FreeCAD, we are going places people!

Fighting the urge to build an open source inkjet printer again

I find my LLM usage is way down from what it was a few months ago. When I started to spend more time debugging code from an LLM rather than debugging my own code, I realized I wasn't actually building as much as it seemed. More importantly I wasn't building maintainable code.

Time for me to officially announce a passion project I have been working on for the last couple of months, directory.omsf.io! It is a directory of computational chemistry tools and workflows that is easy on the eyes! Read more about it here: blog.omsf.io/introducing-...!

Think I might boot up the my System76 laptop again, is it time for NixOS?

working nights and weekends is NOT 👏 A 👏 BRAG 👏 if you’re an adult that wants to - absolutely fine!!! we make our own choices. we also have a responsibility to not normalize it into our broader team and work culture

Alright folks! Today, 11 AM Pacific, we are having an event on using Docker, stop by if you are interested in learning how to use Docker! www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticket...
