“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

@burningshed.com do you have any insight on if/when the self-published Camel records from late 90s/early 2000s would be republished? The 2nd hand market for them is brutal.

Big thanks to Mike Palmer for the footage here, Thomas Coe-Brooker for the edit and everyone who came along on Saturday and helped make it such a great night.

If you use the Apple Pencil with the iPhone Duo, how do you store the pencil?

I love DeepSeek V4 Flash so much. It tends to run amok sometimes, so V4 Pro to write a plan + GPT 5.6 Luna/something else as an advisor and you have a dirt cheap coding setup.

Love the product and use it daily, and I'm glad to see that the server component is written both in #ElixirLang and #GleamLang (will read the source later this week).

People: MusicBrainz still exists? MusicBrainz:

Yep! Happened to me too. Bluesky disabled all my DMs by default. Go check yours at “Chat > Settings”

This next year is going to be extremely testing financially. Cost of living continues to grow & interest rates are crazy high. In the next 6 months I'm going to have to somehow earn a *lot* more just to continue to barely stay above the waterline. Not sure what to do. Suggestions on a postcard!

Time to remove the rc qualifier! elixir-lang.org/blog/2026/06... #ElixirLang

2026 is fun. Not at all exhausting.

I’ll be available in a part-time capacity for #ElixirLang work within the next month or two. If you open my profile you can find my website with a link to my talks, and I’m fairly easy to find on LinkedIn for past work experience.

is this such an important step for computer science - i.e. not just for #Elixir / OTP this issue is now *done*. damn! github.com/elixir-lang/...

@tangled.org might be silly question but how do I trigger a manual pipeline? I can’t find a button or instructions in the docs. Thanks!

For a glamorous Saturday night laundry, giving this super cheesy classic a spin.

I'm enjoying listening to this excellent album which samples original voice recordings from the Apollo mission era while watching Artemis II coverage album.link/i/1738417407

I like this a lot. The MacBook Neo as the ideal computer for sparking kids' curiosity. samhenri.gold/blog/2026031...

Next Bass Communion album cover?

This article nolanlawson.com/2026/02/07/w... articulates exactly how I feel.

I can’t wait!

It is EXHAUSTING not only being made responsible for coming up with new kinds of assignments for our students; it's also tedious reading op-eds that suggest the core problem is a crisis in teaching. But, as Chris and I lay out here, this isn't a crisis in teaching; it's an attack on learning.

This year in music has been really in line with my general taste, with very few excursions to other genres - suppose it's a form of comfort!

I've been researching and playing with Event Sourcing and related patterns for years now, but it's an expensive hobby. If anyone's interested in (paid) introductions to the patterns and ideas, or workshops on the matter, hit me up! I honestly believe understanding it can provide a lot of value.

Even if now that I think about it, he doesn't have fingers to snap, or even an arm to put the gauntlet on. Maybe that's why he looks upset.

Half of the hair population needs to die.

Another good find in a charity store for a mere 3 pounds.

@burningshed.com I’m trying to find out information about a uk prog band I heard on radio, it’s called Axiom Shift. Both music and what I could find (little) makes me think it’s an AI experiment, but I was wondering if you had more info?

@burningshed.com thank you for the early delivery! Really looked forward to Lunatic Soul’s latest effort.

Charity shop find of the day - have never listened to it but I’ve never been disappointed by Peter Gabriel.

The creator of the vibe coding expression did not use AI agents full capabilities for his latest system

@stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social I recently dug into a few of your Bass Communion records and really enjoyed them! It would be nice to hear some stories about them.
