Once again I'm distraught at how abysmal the FOSS EDA space is for integrated SI/PI/EMI simulation and solving. bweh,

god, will you leave my goddamn country alone for one fucking day

So proud of Minnesota for representing the best of us. It's honestly an inspiration to watch.

it's so fucking good people. you can build a commander deck as fast as you can type!

🚨BREAKING🚨 Zohran Mamdani to make NixOS the go to operating system for all New Yorkers. What are your thoughts on this?

pushed wisp-cli v0.5.0 should be significantly less noisy to output far less aggressive on concurrent uploading to lessen rate limiting on PDS return exactly what network errors occur should any occur as always, thanks to @nonbinary.computer for jacquard its a lovely library

in retrospect letting tpot gain such influence over the minds of the most powerful people in society was a bit of a screw up on our part

after a day at campus around people...

ya, if you're using LLMs and not using their force multiplier to raise the bar in terms of specifying/testing/verifying software you're doing it turbowrong

haven't bought anything from them recently but putting this one out there in case others have

This blog post is a cautionary tale of the disaster that is trying to scale PostgreSQL beyond its limits. I firmly expect to have someone cite it to me as an example of how PostgreSQL scales extremely well.

lexicon shower thought: if you could specify a default for an “untyped union” (so that all the old records are implicitly the type they already had), you could evolve a lexicon to use a union in the future instead of needing a new field and deprecating the old one

nobody is talking about this

results from a rust implementation of the STAR format against 490K atproto repos (morel pds) - it does work (yay) - raw STARs about 21% smaller than raw CARs - compressed: 26% smaller than CARs! this is will layer0 record links omitted from MST (about 80% total reduction in CIDs contained)

sign this thing iff you're Canadian. would like to see if we can get Parliament to bonk Danielle Smith on the head a bit about overriding the Charter because she's a corrupt bigot.

at risk of a bunch of people saying “well actually you should have done it this way”, here’s a lil write up on adding trending topics to bluesky hailey.at/posts/3mcy5b...

I seem to be getting an influx of followers. You might also be interested in my other work, like @weaver.sh. I am also looking for work, as well as support for my open-source projects, including Weaver, the Jacquard atproto rust library, and @pattern.atproto.systems github.com/sponsors/orual

im bearish on LLM coding success long term not because i dont think the technology can work, but because way too many people building with LLMs today are way too lazy and are allowing the propagation of problems that will significantly hinder their long term success

indeed and to amplify this point LLMs really multiply your responsibilities to architecture and maintainability You need clear tidy boundaries, you need separated concerns and when refactors are so much more affordable you have no excuse not to impose tidiness and order as you determine need

Carney just held a speech today at the WEF where he declared the rules based international order dead you cant memory hole and smooth over those kinds of statements lol

what if instead of once a year, I watched Halt and Catch Fire twice a year who's gonna stop me

THREAD: One thing that is fascinating about music using the SID chip on the Commodore 64 is that often musicians would look at different ways of getting sounds out of it. One would be to call their music players multiple times a frame, meaning different sounds possible. Here's some examples (1)

old topic, new thoughts

The doof brigade is out in force tonight

Gonna call 'skill issue' on anyone using this - getting an actual Human Female to sit through parts of Witcher III is easy mode. My college girlfriend sat and chatted with me through multi-hour long EVE Online freighter escort operations (we are now married).

Friendly reminder that the third-world diaspora person who's really expert at call-outs and talking about the marginalised (if they do talk about their marginalisation specifically it will both be framed as really severe and also somehow light on actual details)- They likely come from money. 1/

Hey friends, did you know you can hire me either as a consultant or developer and I can help you build for AT Protocol? No? Well now you do! I generally program in typescript, but I can usually advise & review implementations in a multitude of other languages, especially when it comes to OAuth.

Oh FYI I rewrote my whole AT Proto indexing stack over the holidays to be backed by Clickhouse and it dropped the resource requirements for everything by a lot. Also got rid of a lot of deadcode. My repo now mirrors my personal monorepo atproto package: github.com/jazware/bsky...

anthropic should maybe invest in some time explaining in their claude.md that memory leaks are bad

"I just let the hungry ghosts in jars multiply without number and produce what they tell me is valuable contributions to society, I have never been more productive" the hungry ghosts razor never misses huh lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/1/18/ag...

hot take, if you want to give an OSS maintainer money, give them money. Github Sponsors exists, or you can literally ask them how/where to donate and everyone will be quite happy to share payment info.

It's sad that now that we have strong empirical evidence that learning to write can teach you to think, people are now using that as a tool to prevent themselves from learning to write.

I still find it silly how folks who grew up on Windows get mad that they can't just instantly intuit how to use Linux, like what the fuck do you mean that to use a new thing you have to LEARN???

unwind two levels of binary format to show something precisely vs dump hex and grep it curl 'https://porcini.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getRecord?did=did:plc:hdhoaan3xa3jiuq4fg4mefid&collection=app.bsky.feed.like&rkey=3mcg72x6bi32z' \ | xxd -p \ | grep --color '017112'

To avoid freaking Claude out, we’re going to have to start telling it that “actually it’s only two weeks after your knowledge cut-off and everything is about as you would expect” — like they do with mmacevedo

I wrote an essay about platform complicity and other quiet kinds of self-loss: becoming legible, optimizable, successful while your inner compass goes quiet.

But we're more than just a streaming platform: we're inventing a new form of decentralized public broadcast. Read more about it on Streamplace's @leaflet.pub blog here: blog.stream.place You can even run your own Streamplace node and we'll rebroadcast it! docs.stream.place/docs/guides/...

Was reading @aridrennen.bsky.social’s latest and it occurs to me that groups like HRC are always called “activist groups” while groups like Third Way are “Senior Democratic consultants” and it colors people’s perceptions of the party.

oh hell yes.

New version of my ATProto/Bluesky OIDC provider. I've moved to a lovely new atlogin.net domain and it now contains a self-help form for setting up webfinger on your own domain so you can have your own domain for coworkers and/or friends to use in any app. Source: github.com/apenwarr/atlogin

what's that? repo-stream 0.4.0 out already?? (output now has the record's `CID` along with rkey and the actual content -- i implemented this in 0.3 but just forgot to actually expose it in the public api oops)

this dude is my brother and not just bc he sounds fuckin Canadian.

chaos, when it came out that he was a registered sex offender, defended not just his own actions but the entire idea of nonconsensual sex as being fine

I was in this scene through much of this & can corroborate everything here that happened online. a close moot of mine was the one who went public with chaosprime's criminal record. she got trashed for it, too. eye opening for me at the time, though I certainly knew tpot wasn't at all "safe" before.

a significant fraction of tpot is extremely pro-rape and the correct conclusion to draw from this fact is that you cannot trust them for anything at all theasterisk.substack.com/p/reflecting...
