β€œthe thinker of tender thoughts” by shel silverstein

[an illustration depicting a boy growing into a man. as he grows, his hair grows out as flowers. people laugh at him for it and he becomes sad. he starts trimming off the flowers, but as he reaches the last one he stops. he is then depicted with a smile and a flower in his buttonhole on his jacket.]

The time has finally come for me to spend a couple hours learning how to make my iTerm2 windows and tabs and panels look awesome and easier to find at a glance. Gonna generate some custom terminal backgrounds for each project folder

Just saw that Claude Code added the ability to explain a command it's asking to run with a risk assessment, which is a really great idea

Haha I like your prediction way, way more than where my mind went which was someone still experiencing regular nightmares of having to do time tracking in the HR software Kronos

Before even watching the video, I find myself in immediate intuitive agreement. Apps seems much more aligned to what they are (and the importance of considering using them) which would be a huge help for new users understanding the ecosystem!

Immutable releases announced at GitHub Universe!

Once tagged, releases can’t be changed. No more worrying about malicious actors swapping out assets or moving tags.

Single-use version tags with signed attestations. This is the supply chain protection open source really needs πŸ”’

My 10 year old just landed their first craft on Duna and I couldn't be more proud

The lander had a rocket descent system inspired by Curiosity

They didn't even use a transfer window calculator, they did it by eye based on looking at diagrams. That's more hardcore than I ever did it

I need someone to tell me if Season 2 of Fionna and Cake is anywhere near as mindblowingly fantastic as the first. Season 1 lives as a top 3 show ever in my mind, and I was actually bummed they announced a season 2 because it's just so *complete*

I gotta know S2 is world class before I risk it

Back in 2002 I implemented an A* pathfinding algorithm in a custom Neverwinter Nights map to allow NPCs to walk between their homes and shops and anything else, along the roads. I was recreating the town of Hommlet from Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil

Still thinking about the guy playing Warhammer at our local gameshop who, when my 4-year-old asked why they were fighting, turned his head to look at them with the enthusiasm of someone who had waited their entire life for someone to ask and said stoically β€œin the grimdark future there is only warβ€œ

Tonight, for the first time, I played Kerbal Space Program multiplayer with my kid. I docked with the station they put in orbit! What a dream come true a decade in the making.
