Modern data libraries like pola.rs is so cool! What would be 100s of lines of code in a regular imperative language condense down to just a few lines of terse joins and aggregates.

How is EE still in business? They have not been able to make a functional website for at least the last 8 years.

Really wish my iPhone had different profiles like Chrome. One for work, personal and a different one for all the doom scroll and time sink.

Sometimes it’s hard to describe why the heaviest music is the most calming and soul sooothing. Thank you Disturbed 🤘🎸

Hey @1password.bsky.social, time to change course.

Hey @1password.bsky.social, longtime customer here: stop giving your money to fascists.

i am in the exact same boat (long time 1p customer, pushed it on my tech resistant family) and like andrew i will be voting with my over a hundred dollars a year subscription about this issue

I wonder if Google Cocs' shitty APIs and mediocrea integration with LLMs will be the nail in the coffin that kills it for engineering teams.

It's the best sporting week ever with Silverstone, Wimbledon and World Cup with England still in the game.

Nothing like watching Lewis and Max fight it out at Silverstone #F1

Why does Jira have to suck sooo much as a product?

This app handy.computer is life-changing good!

slop is something that takes more human effort to consume than it took to produce. When my coworker sends me raw Gemini output he’s not expressing his freedom to create, he’s disrespecting the value of my time

Have to admire @anthropic.com's shipping velocity 👏🏼

The second #kakapo chick of the #kakapo2026 breeding season hatched this morning: Hine Taumai-A1-2026 on Ako's nest on Te Kākahu. We transferred the egg from Anchor two nights ago. This is Ako's first-ever chick, which is just a few hours old in this video. #conservation #birds #parrots

Larry the Cat celebrates 15 years as Downing Street’s chief mouser on Sunday. The 19-year-old tabby is serving his sixth prime minister, having survived a decade of political turbulence in the UK government.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

I've never been a conspiracy theory guy, but you're never gonna convince me that there hasn't been a specific cabal of ultra-rich dullards trying to buy, strangle, and bring to heel all of the most important reality-shaping machines since the uptick in power labor had during COVID

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Cool cool.

If you use the string “try again later” in an error message you should go straight to jail. It should be a standard rule in all linters.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

You will never be as useless as the Prompt to install the #BritishAirways app while the same app loads up the website in a web view.

show this to anyone else you know who also assumed DHH was just a normal conservative dude rather than a raging white supremacist lunatic

How do I convince Apple to implement a *GOOD* vertical sidebar in Safari?

Jimmy Kimmel's worst case scenario was moving from prime time to a podcast. Mario Guevara's is being shipped to El Salvador and facing more of the persecution he fled 20 years ago. If that happens, the chilling effect will be impossible to measure.

Only in the UK would it be a totally normal piece of urbanism to place a bin right opposite a pair of benches. Eat your sandwiches and look at the overflowing rubbish.

I'm a bit puzzled at the state k8s clients. The 2 largest (by GH 🌟s) Python clients are pretty disappointing when you read the code. The Ruby client was last updated ~5y ago. The JS client has badges in README.md that links to 404 pages. Are people really not writing anything other than Go?

if they think tylenol is dangerous for kids wait until they find out about guns…

As I was saying…

Time to cancel that subscription you don’t need.

France formally recognised a Palestinian state on Monday, a day after the same move by the UK, Australia, Canada and Portugal. on.ft.com/3KetWIB

This battle from 4th to 9th is pretty great

I'm playing around with Jujutsu and it's kinda cool, but a decade + of git muscle memory and tooling is going to take a long time to get replaced.

What a hero!

Besides the effects on the tech industry, right now there are H-1B holders—people—who built a life in the US. If they are traveling, they have 17 hours to get back to the US, or the life they built will be shattered and taken from them. Can you imagine constantly living with this uncertainty?

All I wanted from a new Apple Watch is more battery and they have gone in the absolute opposite direction once again.

Spot is really just the most patient mama. Best Cat award. After her hard beginnings and raising Data and Lal she definitely deserves to live the most spoiled housecat life from here on out. 🩷
