Binary Adder

I am distraught over Oliver Tree.

You'd think Google would lookup who preordered the Fitbit Air and roll out the new Google Health app to those users first. But no, now I have a $100 wristband that does nothing until they pull my number.

We should bring back wearing cloaks.

Netflix and Beat Saber need to talk about Kpop Demon Hunters.

Why did it take me this long to pair my glove80 with my phone? This is nice.

Wake me up when AI chats can have threads.

It's been long enough since I left my last job that when someone asks what I do, I've started saying I 'used to be' a software engineer. The shift in language feels heavy. Hopefully that changes within the next year. I've been taking time to chase after health issues — turns out there are many!

Gemini needs a better way to organize chats, especially by automatically separating 'digital assistant' chats from manually-created ones. This should be a uniform (in look-and-feel and functionality) feature across both the web and mobile apps.

I am generally against “everything needs to have an app” - I do not need my dishwasher to text me - but I will reluctantly grant it in the case of my garage door mostly because my brain takes about five seconds after it’s out of sight to forget whether I closed the damn thing

I love the modern Web. Visit a website on mobile and get assaulted by pop-ups for sharing location and receiving notifications in addition to the site's popups for cookies, promotional materials, and the kitchen sink.

The cycle of owning a CPAP machine: 1. Take a few days to get your mask fit just right to minimize leaks. 2. Have a few nights with a perfect mask fit. 3. Weekly cleaning time! Completely disassemble the mask to clean it, losing that perfect mask fit you had. 4. Rinse and repeat, ad infinitum.

Chat, is it dangerous to sleep in an EV (that's outside a garage) hooked up to a CPAP machine during a thunderstorm?

Todd Howard personally placed every nirnroot. Prove me wrong.

It's surprising how many scam websites are under Google's sponsored shopping items. Search "riding lawnmower from Walmart" and you'll see tens of them.

Sigh, Google is being Google and is killing Gemini's usefulness unless you pay for the $250/mo plan (which is untenable for me at the moment). I've been a happy Pro plan user for ages now, and now I'm suddenly getting full day rate limits? Why am I paying for this?

Something needs to be done about 15 going through Frederick, Maryland. I hold my breath the entire length of it.

Happy Friday!

I was not prepared for this, but it slaps: music.youtube.com/watch?v=tjsC...

TFW you start a mobile OS update on the toilet.

This is getting out of hand. techcrunch.com/2025/06/01/f...

Weird thing HGTV hosts do: Alright, I'm going to leave and show myself out of your house. Yeah, I'm sure that happens.

It must be difficult to write a book about AI only for so much to change by the time it gets published.

Being a Software Engineer Pro: If the software you need doesn't exist, you can build it yourself. Con: If the software you need doesn't exist, you can build it yourself.

A downside of working with a laptop on my lap is that my belly hangs over a wee bit, causing the touchpad to think we're doing a multi-touch gesture now.

Looking at all the people in my life who are sick:

My favorite part of going to DC today was when somebody pointed at the White House and said, "Look, there's the Tesla dealership."

EXPLORER 1: what should we name this new land we found EXPLORER 2: how bout Newfoundland EXPLORER 1: damn that’s fucken good

I finally heard back from a company I applied to! It was a rejection, but at least I know that one of these companies exists, and I'm not just throwing my resume into the vast void.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

Hell yeah

Back from a 5-day flu bout and greeted with a 3-6 inch snow forecast. Perfect.

OpenAI right now

What's with this trend of US companies seemingly only hiring European software engineers? #software

I need to tell somebody, so I might as well redirect this to the /dev/null that is my Bluesky followers: I fucking love the glove80. This keyboard has singlehandedly changed my life. I'm not even kidding. No more hand pain; I type more efficiently than ever. I love this thing.

Unemployment life: making my own emo Christmas music playlist.

I ate two apples today, so doctors better watch out.

This post is fucking incredible, this is exactly what you are supposed to do with computers robertheaton.com/pyskywifi/
