i'm putting the feelers out for frontend-y dev rel-y docs-y gigs that are 2-3 days a week. if you know someone looking for someone who can do gleam/elm/react/write words, hit me up 💕

👀

are you a neovim user who knows how to best set up OCaml editor support in neovim? would be stoked if you can add some notes to the docs: github.com/ocaml/ocaml....

The WebAssembly 3.0 spec is complete! webassembly.org/news/2025-09... This includes major features like GC, 64-bit memories, exceptions, and tail calls.

Hey folks, @omsf.io is running an office hours on using containers in science! The goal of this is to be an intro to using containers, so come with questions if you have them! Registration can be found here: www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticket...

Turned out great! These keystone jacks are awesome!

First print for my mini rack and my first print with PETG! Looking good so far!

I still need long-lived scoped automation tokens for @nuqs.dev and a few other maintained packages as semantic-release isn't yet fully compatible with the OIDC trusted publishing workflow, from what I see in discussions. Has anyone here tried this combo?

There’s an incoming update coming to @graze.social that will allow us to filter posts based on a user’s bio, which is going to be really useful on #Medsky specialty feeds If your bio has #Nephsky, posts will go to the Nephrology feed If your bio has #IDsky, posts will go to the ID feed And so on…

I’m gonna be crass and say, preorder *my* book! Kiese Laymon calls it “the most politically audacious book I’ve read in decades” and Moiya McTier calls it “deft weave of quantum physics and cultural wisdom” 😻 #BookSky www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/746817...

iOS 26 is, fine? I don’t hate it but I wouldn’t say I love it either

... of course

My 3D printer arrived today and I am so excited to be building stuff again!

What a great question. Bluesky Is more than an X clone. Under the hood, each part of the app can and is ran by different companies. The app you download, the server hosting your data, each feed you scroll, and your chosen moderator can all be ran by unrelated parties.

Making changes with jj feels so... natural? How jj handles changes makes a lot more sense and seems a lot more intuitive compared to git. Loving playing around with it so far!

Signal Secure Backups are here 🙌

hope y'all had a great weekend, because it's time for work—mandatory knot & spindle upgrades! as we've hinted earlier, knots are now getting a full-fledged XRPC API, which the tangled appview will be switching to using. this means all knots will have to upgrade to the latest v1.9.0-alpha.

Now that Europe made Apple do USB-C can we get them to make Playstation, Xbox, and Switch controllers intercompatible? I wanna hear their lawyers try and explain how their two-stick-dpad-four-button-four-trigger-start-select-home-optional-paddles BLE controllers are SO DIFFERENT from the others

It's Friday, let's open a can of worms! To what extent do principles of software development apply to #datascience? Not a novel question, but still a sincere (and intentionally broad) one. DS practice is so varied, and I'd like to collect perspectives on when DS work needs to consider the SDLC.

atproto account future = google account today one account, login for all apps, store all your data in one place, control what apps can do with your identity this is the dream

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Bluesky/atproto is not "dying" and it does not need revenue. It is a protocol like SMTP (aka email) or RSS (aka mostly known as podcasts these days). Bluesky/atproto also does not need gazillion people constantly posting cat pics or memes. Relevance matters, that is still high here.

If you aren't keeping up with @tangled.sh, you absolutely should!

Going to be putting together an office hours this month on Docker/Containers for Scientists. What kind of things are people interested in learning about? My gut says: what is a container really? When should I use one? How can they be helpful/useful? Let me know what you think!

this is one of my long-term goals for @anisota.net — to make something distinctly “new” and different, not just an atproto version of a thing that already exists

private bookmarks are coming 👀

This your regularly scheduled reminder that Substack is not independent media

"[Substack] announced that all writers would be required to offer Apple’s in-app purchase (IAP) payment option. That means that Apple will be collecting a 30% fee for all subscriptions purchased on Substack via IAP." This is what happens when you depend on a walled garden inside a walled garden

what if, balatro.... but dungeon crawler?? #gamedev #godot

Watch how the calcium pump moves ions across cell membranes allowing the synchronized contraction of muscle cells.

Hey everyone! Wrote this post for @omsf.io on why we built our own tooling for deploying GitHub Actions! blog.omsf.io/why-we-built...

SvelteKit 3 will drop 17% of dependencies thanks to new APIs now available directly in Node. We could drop another 17% if Node were to add support for cookie parsing and serialization.

Making her Kansas City home debut... Ally Sentnor 👏

For PhD students in my network, NVIDIA is now accepting applications for our graduate fellowship program. If you are working on topics across AI, life sciences, healthcare and HPC - consider applying. blogs.nvidia.com/blog/applica...

Alright, time to drink the jj Kool-Aid.

If you’ve ever been interested in creating your own personal algorithm, there is no better time than now! My favorite feed provider, @graze.social, just released a simpler, more intuitive version of their editor for beginner feed curators!

Astral (the VC-backed company behind the popular open source Python tools uv, ruff and ty) have unveiled the first hints at their business model today - pyx, a private package registry for companies that use Python My notes here: simonwillison.net/2025/Aug/13/...

Whoa, Pebble totally changed its higher-tier smartwatch design and it looks way better! www.theverge.com/news/758592/...

I have my nvim config up on tangled! Looking forward to playing around with spindles soon to handle building and caching my nix config! tangled.sh/@ethanholz.c...

copilot complained that the repo doesn't have copilot instructions on a comment **in the PR in which copilot is generating copilot instructions**, in case you wondered how the robot uprising is going

Setup a knot to test out today on @tangled.sh but I have two questions. Am I correct in assuming that there is no way to remove a knot? Also, how would I move a repo from one knot to another?

First lamy safari using custom ink and it’s fantastic

This is the account for an independent project for developing nix packaging and tools in the ATmosphere Future repos: tangled.sh/@atproto-nix... Note: not affiliated with the NixOS Foundation nixos.org

interesting how some tech bros claim college is overrated and people should drop out but “Ph.D level” is a marker of expertise

After a brief read of the PDBx spec, I think I am going to have to do codegen? Those 80 character line limits don’t look so bad anymore.

Hold on a minute, there is an LSP for GitHub Actions??? github.com/lttb/gh-acti...

Just cuz you’ve invented something seemingly nifty and shiny (if rotten under the hood), and sunk billions of dollars into it, and keep asserting (w/out much proof) its awesomeness does not mean I am obligated to find it useful in meeting my professional goals or obligations as an educator.

@w3cj.com convinced me to revamp my RSS feeds after the latest @syntax.fm episode. Moving back to miniflux + unread for my RSS feeds. Also going to monitor GitHub Release atom feeds to keep my software up to date.
