@lucretiel.me so theranos was a PaaS?

Okay, so a C++ template is like a Rust generic, except it's not defined anywhere, you need to guess what it does by reading callsites, and if you get it wrong, you can go fuck yourself I'm getting goddamn Julia flashbacks

"So the guy called himself a king" *muffled gasps from the panel* "and he sent thousands of soldiers to quarter in my city" *Washington audibly whispers "what the f-"* "and so we, like, formed this system where we'd call up people within a minute or two if they showed up" Paul Revere: hell yes

Can I just say how poorly constructed the sentence "Five decisions stay with people" is? Is the number of decisions really what you're centering? When you have "people" right there? I'd say"The people on the team are responsible for:" with a list, and get rid of the useless diagram

Once witnessed one of the most eminent professors in the field completely fail to make coffee and pour himself a mug of plain hot water instead. "Keynes'd my coffee" to mean "didn't add any coffee to the coffee" has permanently entered my vocabulary to this day.

Amazing. Also, 42 lmao

I just finished a team sprint to bring one of @antithesis.com's flagship features, multiverse debugging, to the CLI and agents. It's amazing to watch agents run commands from different times while root-causing an issue. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci8o...

Actually, I’d recommend this transcript generally. It has some funny moments in it.

Was watching Buffy’s Anya backstory episode. Friend asked why I sighed. “She’s not of a sufficiently high social class to have domesticated rabbits that far north in Europe in that century, but the writers couldn’t know, the paper was only presented at a conference yesterday.” Accuracy is fleeting.

if you use Haskell, Nix, or Rust it is your professional obligation to ostracize these people in any way shape or form that you have the capacity for. if you work for Anduril you are less than dirt; if you take their money you are a pathetic, disgusting loser.

- Can you pass the salt? - Passing the salt is real work. Probably about a day's worth. Given we're on track to finish lunch today, I probably would budget that for next quarter. - Just pass the damn salt *passes salt* - Okay, you win this one. It actually took three seconds. Listening and learning.

I converted to Catholicism two weeks ago. Here’s why I think Jesus would’ve supported live streaming executions.

The techbros don't want you to see this trailer. Pass it on.

@jesawyer.bsky.social Think we can convince someone to name the next big solar field HELIOS One?

California is weaning itself off fossil gas, fast. Gas-fired electricity generation in California fell by 26% in the first half of 2026, as utility-scale solar, batteries and the new SunZia wind project feed power in via a dedicated transmission line. buff.ly/QWQoLPc #ShareGoodNewsToo

Bull’s-eye example of what @doctorow.pluralistic.net calls a Reverse Centaur situation, with humans supporting technology instead of technology supporting humans.

& our more recent Black Death research shows that peasant empowerment only happened in very limited areas where policy enabled it; elsewhere elites used the disruption 2 strip workers’ rights more, creating the 1st debtors’ prisons. But only the outdated “mass death => wealth” version gets quoted 🤨😔
