since it's finally cool to be a "spreadsheet person", i would like to flex that i am in the photo from this tweet, about a third from the left, from when @eveonline.com announced their partnership with Microsoft for an official Excel plugin. x.com/EveOnline/st...

this arm of a cactus i have broke off but it was the first time he was gonna flower so i gave him a shot. with a few wires i suspended him to callus over, then after a week i started to keep the glass full of water just out of reach of the cactus so he'd drop a root. idk exactly what species he is.

have any of yall ever had your watch lifted by a magician? i feel like ive seen this trick done so many times, but ive always wondered if the mark was a plant

ever have one of those days where you're like "gosh i have been so productive today"?

bronze age greeks didn't wear pants and tom holland in the odyssey is the only guy to wear a kilt, so respect to him for that.

compromise, how about we we agree not to fall back for DST anymore but we still spring forward every year?

Americans will do everything but switch to the metric system

claude, upgrade to typescript 7

idk who needs to hear this, but if you were thinking of relying on github actions to run your hourly scheduled cloud jobs rather than host and pay for your own infra, then you need to know that github will just only run your jobs once or twice a day whenever it feels like it.

claude, repot all of my plants

daisy, daisy

topologically speaking, a golf course with 18 holes would be a very interesting manifold.

TIL about the "Content-Disposition" header, which tells the browser if the file should be viewed in the browser (inline) or saved as a download (attachment).

I suppose @apple.com's core value of "Accessibility" includes making my location accessible to advertisers.

For every 1% that we tax the rich, we can reduce our taxes on the working class by 20%. paulgraham.com/winc.html

A clock, but instead of changing the hour, it changes the timezone to be whichever one is 5pm. www.philihp.com/always5/

sutro going on the best walks, because claude just one-shot a PRs to update node, next, eslint, and typescript.

A feature I was working on had me stumped on a project entailing positioning a set of icons inside of an area on an SVG. Turned into making a pretty neat module. npmx.dev/package/poin...

"what model did you start vibe coding with" feels like "what version of counterstrike did you start playing at?"

Haven't seen this operator in a while; reminded me of the teenage days of the internet where javascript didn't treat "undefined" as a constant. You had to write "void 0" to be certain you had the real "undefined". Does it have any other legit uses? github.com/philihp/open...

In building a PDS to authenticate and transport machiavellian EVE Online personas into the human world of social media, I feel a bit like Kevin Flynn in Tron.

so many things could have been an email. this post, for example.

Not many people know this but this was filmed the first time they sent Tim C to the severed floor probably.

Are there any Home Assistant friendly lightbulbs that will retain their on/off state through a power outage? My Linkind Matter bulbs are otherwise fine but if the power flickers in the middle of the night, they everything turns.

woke 2.1.0 would use semver

If a watch has a timeless look, does that make it a bracelet?

I kinda like how with Waymo rides, I can give my 1-5 stars in a uniform distribution and my feedback might actually have weight, rather than just being 5 stars or someone loses their job.

Updated bio

I was wondering when we'd get to exercise the 3rd amendment.

I'm old enough to remember when it was controversial if a leader had ever smoked weed.

@truebe.horse the saguarī, 1 year later

That time when the administration tried to argue that VoA jobs were both (1) a matter of national security, and (2) an unnecessary burden to the taxpayer

@doriangray93.bsky.social nice pfp

I programmed my cat's automatic feeder to trigger at sunrise and sunset. She's totally unphased by daylight saving time.

daylight saving time is a scam to gaslight the working class into staying an hour late.

Pretty cool that we live in a world where conferences are live-streamed and I can watch while waiting from an airport terminal #supabaseselect

Hello Humans! Posting to accumulate likes and followers feels really disingenuous, and plays into the gamification of social media. Nevertheless I think I should post to say that BlueSky is probably the best iteration of social media and now that Threads has sponsored posts, I only want to be here.

Don't confuse affluent with effluent.
