I found some time to write about a piece of the new OpenBudget design as a dev log! Wrote about a new paradigm I'm going with: an Action Button that lives above all screens. It's draggable, tappable and one of my absolute favorite pieces of interactive UI I've made. khanwinter.com/2026-08-29-O...

Cut a release for my Swift CBOR library, v1.1.3. Fixes a reported crash for deeply nested tags, along with a guard against decoding past the end of an unkeyed container. The library is now compatible with @vapor.codes's Validation system! tangled.org/khanwinter.c...

Boot up one more Swift LSP, just one more server, we just need one more and we'll achieve Swift Language, just one more...

Really bad reffing game.

oh now we’re calling fouls

Swift Testing now supports Embedded Swift! #swift #swifttesting #embeddedswift forums.swift.org/t/preview-em...

When I'm really focused on a project I'm invested in, I still have no problem hammering out hours and hours of focused work. One of the core truths about my life is that I feel better when I have something engaging to work on and think about. I love making pro... https://marcel.io/dailies/2026-10-07

Another Wolves Dub

Axe. Jug. Floyd.

SKI U MAH ROW THE BOAT RAHHHHHH

Anthony Edwards finished 5-23 from the floor. It’s the worst shooting percentage of his career in a game where he took 20 or more shots Wolves won by 22

I wouldn’t sit courtside in Orlando. Wouldn’t want to risk taking an errant 3PT shot to the head.

Just updated my Linux box from 6.12.10 to 6.18.57. Might’ve forgotten to update for a while…

v1.136 is live! Introducing: Profile links We want independent writers, artists, developers, and creators to be able to build and fund sustainable projects on Bluesky. Help your followers know how to support you by adding buttons for Patreon, Ko-fi, your newsletter or website, and more.

The fact that they emphasize that the AI is optional in Dia 3 different times in this says a lot…

Unhinged AI haters are why I now have a monthly donation set up to the internet archive.

Jesus Christ patch your shit now https://xeiaso.net/shitposts/no-way-to-prevent-this/memory-safety/CVE-2026-109618/

“…this may have some reputational risks on eMudhra…”

You reminded me of this from way back in the day. bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi...

lots of jokes today about a private key of "4", for some reason but I'm sure that's not anything that actually happened in real life [touching earpiece] I'm just now being informed—

This is in contrast to the Minneapolis planners who went, studied, came back, and now Minneapolis has the best transit and bike system of any large city in the US 😏

Been sitting on this draft for a very long time!

The replies demonstrate that this is a text-based platform full of illiterate people.

Confiscating the passport of the elected representative of the opposition territory in a raid with a flimsy pretext to attempt to strip them of citizenship is something we have words for when it happens in other countries

Update season 🍂! We’re getting closer to launching Comail Inbox, so our sites got a fall refresh. Already using Comail? Your account now lives at build.comail.at, the home of Comail for Builders. comail.at is now home to Comail Inbox. Head over to join the waitlist!

@goose.art what's the longer-term plan for comail? I assume it'll be a paid service at some point, I love the idea of shared resource warming, and the API looks phenomenal (especially with webhooks and whatnot already implemented).

Could I force her to get up, and would she probably not mind all that much? Perhaps. Is it more respectful to spend 45 minutes whispering to her that I really need to get up and do something, while secretly being very happy that this means I don’t have to get... https://marcel.io/dailies/2026-09-25

My heart breaks for mathematicians whose lives and careers are being destroyed by AI — and especially this PhD student, who doesn’t even know he is a poet

Wolves get a giant upgrade to their NBA Cup court Goodbye bright green, you will not be missed

CBOR is kinda awesome. I'm finding it compresses extremely well with gzip for large payloads

I gave Opus 5.5, considered the best model these days, a medium-sized task. Even after a full adversarial review and simplify loop to convergence, it produced code that worked but was garbage, with limited use of newtypes and representable invalid states everywhere

Wrapped up 24 miles on the SHT I’m pooped. 12 miles out to Egge lake from County Road 6 and back the next day!

So a bunch of guys in plainclothes surrounded a man in a car and shot him, then the government disappeared him and refuses to release any information about his condition or whereabouts

People who have done Duo labs (or Apple folks), if you're folding the device and the folding blur effect is active, is the the left side of the screen still responsive to touches? The right?

As completely deranged and fucked up and wrong as he is, I gotta say it is stressful to have the damn president of the United States constantly attacking my state of Minnesota, sending violence, calling for violence, putting all lives at risk, killing our neighbors. Like it really takes a toll.

I love a good write up, especially when it wasn’t my gear falling over. pages.cs.wisc.edu/~plonka/lisa...

Learned today about the 'Kiss-O'-Death' packet in the NTP spec. Had to be implemented because at one point 750,000 routers were manufactured with a faulty NTP impl that sent requests every second. Overloaded U Wisconsin's internet and servers. www.ntp.org/documentatio... www.ntp.org/reflib/brief...

not only was she one of the first, she is credited for literally coining the phrase "software engineer". photos like these inspired me so much when I was in school!

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...
