There are no days. There is only the Year. Hours are numbered sequentially. We remove the idea that sunrise and sunset are a cycle. They are just individual events occurring in a longer span of time.

I wish there was some way for me, long-time paying customer of both of these great services, to benefit more that theyโ€™re forming a closer relationship.

Discord moving to require facial scan for age verification is a big nope from me. It has honestly been enshittified so much that it is a bottom-tier app at this point. I guess, how do I set up Matrix?

I was very sad to see this post this morning. Heroku was how I deployed my first web app, how I learned about DBs and Redis and CDNs. I used to reference the Heroku docs all the time for best practices about deploying Rails apps. End of an era. ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ญ

G Suite continues to be terrible software. Trying to type Chinese characters into a presentation. Entirely different characters appear after confirming the input. Even pasting text from Wikipedia, the characters change on paste. ๐Ÿคก

Itโ€™s crazy how much effect ambient temperature has on my sleep readiness. If Iโ€™m feeling just a little too warm, I wonโ€™t be tired at all

gem.coop update #4: cooldowns beta Hi again, everyone. Weโ€™ve got a big update for you, and we could use your help testing things out. If you just want to test the cooldowns beta, you can jump straight to the cooldown docs. The rest of this post has updates from the team, as well as more background on why we built cooldowns in the fiโ€ฆ

gem.coop has news! we've just released dependency cooldowns (in beta), a strong defense against supply chain attacks gem.coop/updates/4/

So I effectively see each post twice: once as the main message, and again as the reply to the previous message in the thread. More confusing is the posts are ordered with the newest main post at the top, but the reply is always under the main post. ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

Trying out @skeetsapp.com as an alt to the first-party app. I like most of it, buts its handling of reply threads is terrible. Instead of all messages [n1, n2โ€ฆ, n] threaded together, I get mini threads: n1->n2; then n2->n3; on and on. ๐Ÿคฆ

LLMs do not meaningfully "refactor" at anything other than a junior engineering level. They can basically do some window dressing and move code around between files. True refactoring means creating new abstractions, which LLMs can't do because they can't form world-models.

A meaningful feedback loop requires you to know:
- what question you have
- how the artifact & the meeting structure will facilitate answering that question
- how you will use the answer

"Here's some vibe coded nonsense for you to react to" fails every criterion.

Tempest! I first played this around the time I saw TRON for the first time as a kid so the two are inextricably linked in my mind

If AI could do one thing for me it would be to read a tech spec I have written and then create JIRA tickets from the spec. Gigawatts and untold gallons of water later, and I still have no idea how to do this

Bilbo looking at his phone top

on bottom is ChatGPT

After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it?

You're absolutely right โ€” you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

Trying and failing to get @zed.dev to use AWS Bedrock authentication for its Claude integration. Keeps telling me I have to login. I have a custom executable script configured which should be setting the right variables, but Zed doesnโ€™t seem to actually use it, AFAICT.

The same people who pushed for states to be open carry are the ones saying having a gun on you (if that's even true) is grounds to be murdered by state agents.

โ€œEveryone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gunโ€ is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

Generate Glyphs FontLab 7 User Manual

I used Fontlab 8 which annoyingly doesnโ€™t have online documentation. The Fontlab 7 docs are still mostly applicable, but some things have changed or been moved. This page on generating glyphs is a good place to start help.fontlab.com/fontlab/7/ma...
