For those of you looking to avoid the news today, check out @mutesky.app, which mutes political and distressing keywords. Temporarily set it to Complete filtering which adds about 1500 mute keywords. Performance will be impacted a bit but worth it. After the hubbub, set it back to Minimal.

Nothing to see here, just GitHub Copilot doing end-to-end testing of the MS-RDPEI extension in IronRDP by connecting with ironrdp-agent and sending pen 🖊️input events to draw a smiley 🙂 in paint and confirm the result with a screenshot 📷. It did all of that autonomously 👇

Found this gem my friends made of me when I was 20 years old, clowning how much I loved Robert Vieira's SQL Server books. Those Wrox books were the first that spoke to the audience like coworkers and not like robots ala Addison-Wesley. Now I love @manning.com, which is casual but accurate.

I had the series' next iteration on my bookshelf when I lived in San Francisco back in 2006/2007. I always preferred the single author versions of Wrox though. Didn't remember having a magazine rack, I love it. I miss SQL Server Magazine so much. It was often over my head but I loved it, still.

These images of First Nations community members evacuating Collins, Ontario on motorboats are absolutely surreal www.facebook.com/reel/1548244...

These photos of FNs community members fleeing their homes by boat are genuinely apocalyptic (Photo via Wayne Wastaken of Collins, Ontario, who says his “hometown is gone”) www.facebook.com/share/r/1ArN...

So many updates today! Everything now works better and faster. We also have new keywords available too. You can even add your own. It seems like BlueSky handles mutes a bit better too, so you can pile on more than 200 now. Check it out 🥳

Having a whole lot of fun this week with Fable and Sol. Sol I'm reserving for front-end work, so I've updated @mutesky.app finally! And now I'm building a Dragon Quest-like front-end for Infocom's Wishbringer! The reimagination of the original map took my breath away 🤯

Previously, I wrote a whole blog post on Claude Code hooks to address a small portion of the problems Claude had with running pwsh commands. Excited to see this!

Claude Code now supports #PowerShell which means you don't need to run git bash! code.claude.com/docs/en/tool...

ssh is an obscure but widely-deployed command. It stands for Secure Snake Home and was made in the 90s to securely play snake online I made a massively multiplayer backend for it with support for thousands of concurrent snake players ssh snakes.run to join!

Anyone have any dashboard designs that are 1. USEFUL and 2. BEAUTIFUL? Claude said Datadog is popular but the screenshots I'm seeing on Google Images are 90s. Vercel looks more modern. If you love a dashboard AND find it useful, what do you love about it?

NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results" and i was like. oh!

As a creator of "overwhelming documentation", I love this point,

THEY’RE DOCUMENTATION THEN? THE SHIT YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN WRITING THE WHOLE TIME? AND THE ADVICE FOR WRITING THEM BOILS DOWN TO THE EXACT SAME SET OF POINTS YOU SHOULD APPLY TO DOCS FOR HUMANS? HOW COOL. AND INTERESTING. TELL ME MORE. _dissolves into a frothing puddle_

Oleg was right, after all. His premise was that burnout is caused primarily by a lack of progress. For years, I struggled with serious burnout, and his article rang so true for me. Now, even more so. With the kind of progress I'm making with AI, I can't remember the last time I burned out 😍

oooh this is a really cool idea. Computer use via the accessibility APIs. Almost seems obvious in hindsight
