Wrote this post for work working on metabolizing the events of this week, and linking that to the thesis statement of what we're doing. If you get a chance to take a look let me know your thoughts - I love thinking and talking about this stuff.

Just watched Joshua's great launch presentation at @chicago.at - very cool project! Can't wait to dig in 🎵

when the anti-anxiety tube is definitely working

“Uh oh our chair on the mocap stage was too short! What do we do? Remodel the sofa? Re animate the characters??” Environment artist: “I got you”

This is very good and I will be thinking about it for a long time

ooo this is exciting! an insta-adopt feature for me.

Also I'm jazzed about Petal from the CoScreen folks. Very cool of them to try and build something acquisition-proof for the community after experiencing "our incredible journey"-fication first hand 🪻 petal.live

Getting to contribute back to homebrew-cask once in a blue moon is always a treat. It makes me so happy to see how good the docs and how friendly the maintainers are - big ups to @mikemcquaid.com for leading a top notch team! 🍻 github.com/Homebrew/hom...

I would take more seriously the people promoting the idea of AI consciousness if they first materially grappled with the (much more obvious) consciousness of animals and how that affects our moral obligations to them.

I've been working on a self-hosted uptime checker in Elixir to help dogfood Miren's support. I'm interested in having the probe be very detailed about timings across the network stack, with extra checks that run on failure to try and distinguish network path blips from real failures.

I'm planning to go to my first ATproto meetup next week 🤓 It's felt like there's a lot of good energy coming out of the space. I'm excited to learn more and meet folks in the local community! 🌐🌈

neat. (I’m in Vancouver)

logging on to the old torment nexus to debate the ethics of using the new torment nexus

Starting my journey to SYCL! softwareyoucanlove.ca/about/ I love small single-track tech conferences with a point of view. Can’t wait to meet some rad folks and watch some rad talks.

It's feeling good landing some big parts of the original vision. Lots more to come! 🌈🌞

hi mom

People think the minions router being baller as a joke. But I have extensively tested it and it is one of the best possible Wifi 6E routers money can buy. Like someone at Illumination Studios was like "idk $80" and the router manufacturer was like gotchu fam.

this has been fun to work on, excited to get it out there soon! 🛠️

Some nice little things in this one, with some bigger stuff cooking under the hood that I'm extra excited about, but that'll have to wait 🤫

Found my new role model “They look like a basic chicken, but they’re way tougher and stronger than a chicken.” I can aspire to this

many of you were wondering why the hot part of the cigarette is on his head. well,

Impossible to overstate how much of my soul is imbued into this post. I wanted to push the boundaries of the web as an education platform. Why _shouldn’t_ we run Kubernetes in the browser to demonstrate for-real what happens, and let you influence it? Hope you love it. 🫶

Deploying apps on the web has always been a major turn off for me - it feels like being gifted a litter of puppies. Assorted pain reduction services exist with tamagotchi rental economics. And then I discovered miren.dev. I have absolutely no association with them. I am just genuinely in awe.

Even just chatting with @mitchellh.com about Miren and tech reminded me how fun it was when we worked together! And we got his next.js powered blog deployed! miren.md/guides/javas... Full video: youtu.be/04lpAzu0Fqk

In Wario Land 4, a single syllable of the Palm Tree Paradise vocals ("ni~") is stored in a higher quality than anything else in the files. In fact, it is stored at a quality too high for the GBA to even play back, making this completely inaudible on original hardware.

"I miss having a global town square where I can talk. I don't have to miss that anymore, I just have to join a platform that is more humane." Watch the full livestream where miren.dev CEO @evanphx.dev and @chadfowler.com show how anyone can launch and manage their own PDS in minutes with Miren.
