Blows my mind that in 2026 Parquet is not yet the absolute default for data sharing A few years back there was a lovely talk at @rohanalexander.bsky.social 's Toronto Data Workshop by some students who articulated one of my soapboxes far better than I ever have: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Evcn...

I am loathe to self promote, so instead I’ll use @niccrane.bsky.social as a proxy. Some thoughts about LLMs and our anthropomorphization of them. jonkeane.com/blog/languag...

Thank you to the person who kept me going 3/4 through my bike ride on the lake front. The challenge of keeping up is exactly what I needed today. 🚴

This is just the jury but can’t believe this ranking so far. Iceland with 0?!?!?

Omg. I love the Swiss deadpan of theses hosts. “Look at us, we have a desk!”

I too would like a croque non binaire! #eurovision

EBU: We don't like you using the word "Kant." Can you please tone it down? Malta: sure ok. #Eurovision

Omg omg the background screens and background dancers in serving from Malta. So good. 💋 also that might be the best response to the censorship. 🇲🇹

Also would love to see the request form for video filters at Eurovision. Ukraine’s soft dreamy look had someone here wondering what was wrong with their glasses.

For both Poland and Greece it feels like the assignment was “find Michelle Visage”?

Erika Vikman sure has thing for mic stands. I wasn’t expecting a flying, pyrotechnic version but omg. 🇫🇮

Væb’s performance was as fun and irreverent as their song is 🚣🇮🇸

Remember Monday’s choreo is reminding me of Girls Aloud in all the good ways.

Also Estonia’s Eurovision entry making me feel bad for being racist against Italians is really something. ☕️

I might get tired of it but I kinda like the frame on the Eurovision stage

Luxembourg was fantastic. I had totally been sleeping on the song listening to it, but that staging and performance was fantastic 💃

I’m not sure who recommended it to me years ago now, but I am rather enjoying Embassytown by China Miéville. So to uh whoever that was, thank you?

Whoa things are picking up here 🦋

i’m sure i’m not first, but how could i not

Apparently the Chicago monuments commission is totally cool with leaving up fascist monuments. But don’t worry, it’s protected by some ugly chain link fence!

Bought a replacement battery for some (large) wireless headphones, and in the box is a random PCB and I truly have no idea what it even is. Did it come with the battery? Is it a spare something past-me put in here? Truly normal, human behavior here: "what even is this little PCB??"

what is the most underrated tool and why is it rsync

Love this composition

One silent revolution happening that I don't hear much about: Cloud-based development environments. A game changer for companies that have this, and can set it up with a few clicks. Allows engineers to change between stacks *with ease* and opens up cross-domain collaboration.

Shout out to the road flagger who explicitly let me as a cyclist go first to get a head start on a shared road with cars

everyone wants five nines while paying for nine fives
