A Complete Guide to CSS Flexbox | CSS-Tricks Our comprehensive guide to CSS flexbox layout. This complete guide explains everything about flexbox, focusing on all the different possible properties for the parent element (the flex container) and ...

Out of all the #webdev resources I've come across, this flexbox guide has been the best for #css in the last 10 years. I keep finding myself on it.

Thought I was being smart with a command to add all the `package-lock.json` files in a project at the same time:

`git status |grep package-lock |awk '{print $NF;}'|xargs git add`

Instead you have use `echo >add` then `cat add |xargs git add` to avoid file lock interactions.

By slicing packaging by stereotype (IE: hooks/context/views in React, MVC in Rails, etc) we are creating a huge cognitive load. Also leads the rise of the dreaded `utils` directory for everything which doesn't fit.

Slice by the responsibility instead!

Turns out it was the thundering herd of pods putting both the node + longhorn under enough load to timeout.

Made me atone for my lack of energy imbued into the system though!

After getting a minimally stable cluster last night to use @home-assistant.io to turn off lights, I went to bed. This morning I was awoken by Prometheus complaining about 70-ish pods offline. Longhorn had just given up it looked like.

On my #kubernetes #homelab the certificates expired last night. In an attempt to fix it I borked the whole cluster with a massive number of pods being stuck in a crash loop. I've learned some lessons!

I've been wondering if some of the models coming out of that region will upset the Western companies and be free while at it. Qwen3 is great along with Kimi 2.

I was watching part of Aladin this evening...and given the short 1 second cuts and bright flashing colors for like all of it...I'm not sure I can complain about those Gen Z brain rot things anymore.

One feature I miss when writing in #golang from #typescript is the use of an `interface` to describe a generic data structure. Come to think about it, the typescript type system would be awesome with Go!

MineBench | Voxel Build AI Benchmark Compare AI models in a Minecraft-style voxel build benchmark with live voting and rankings.

Kind of a crazy way to test the spatial reasoning capabilities of an #llm #model ! I'm wondering how long Minecraft will remain in the popular zeitgeist !

Biggest problem with this take is "default operation is bad": It solves real world problems gracefully with known tradeoffs. Would love to see real practical data study and the CS proof of a better approach!

A lot of managers are promoted from mid-level positions if they come from engineering at all. They lack a mastery of the craft.

Biggest insight is the api.Message elements passed in are rendered into a text stream with annotations. Both going into the LLM and coming out!

Today I spent some time experimenting with #ollama 's Modelfile today. I've played with things like num_ctx . Today I went another layer into templates. Fascinating the amount of configuration and knobs available with LLMs.

Every time I get stuck in traffic I can't help but think we had world class inter-urban transit. Then we tore it up because cars were more exciting.

Really strange to see a notice of air space closure in the US. Seems strange to those in the thread too.

I built an AI CLI or Slackbot to learn more about how the #llm , #mcp servers, and #ai #agents work together. Been a fun project but it's recently reached a milestone.

If you checked it out, be great to hear some feedback on it!
