We want to go to Mars but one still cannot change source branch in already created GitHub pull request.

I was testing iOS 27 Clean Up feature and dude looks like Predator with camouflage turned on

My latest interactive explainer all about the technology behind record players is done! perthirtysix.com/how-the-heck...

Compression and LLMs are trying to solve the exact same problem: predicting what comes next. @anniesexton.com's interactive essay walks us through the basics of compression to reveal its surprising overlap with every language model you've ever used.

TIL about lfk github.com/janosmiko/lfk As a long time k9s user, I'm saying that lfk looks amazing (especially if you're familiar with yazi)

the next "how the heck" piece is live! it's all about image files and the tricks they use to save space, from information theory to how our eyes work :)

The fact that Kindle doesn’t support remotes for changing pages (without any clip-ons) is beyond me at this point.

I guess if Alfred will not release v6 this year then it's time to switch to Raycast or www.vicinae.com 🤔 Saying this as Powerpack user for many years.

I've been using revdiff.com for like two weeks now and it's a joy

The sixth installment of "How The Heck" is live! This one is all about synths. perthirtysix.com/how-the-heck...

I've made a Kubernetes that runs in the browser, and today we're open sourcing it. The hope here is to make super interactive and visual web content about Kubernetes much easier to write, and we have a whole bunch planned this year. Repo: github.com/ngrok/webern... Demo: webernetes-demo.ngrok.app

I don't think any app redesign has ever made me delete my account and switch to an alternative faster than the new trakt.tv "pretend-to-be-tv-app-on-desktop" redesign. Bye, trakt.tv; welcome, simkl.com :)

My next "how the heck?" piece is live, and it's all about solar panels! It interactively covers the physics, infrastructure, and economics of solar energy in (hopefully) an approachable way. I learned a ton working on it and hope you have fun looking through it. perthirtysix.com/how-the-heck...

At least Firefox is doing it right

Here you go, fellow movie nerds :) emovi.teuteuf.fr

I’ve wanted something like this for ages, super cool looking tool. github.com/unhappychoic...

"oh the irony"

TIL that git has project-scoped excludes. Useful when you're using some tool that other people in your team are not using, but it makes sense to store its configuration within the project. `echo ".your-tool-config.json" >> .git/info/exclude` git-scm.com/docs/gitignore

AWS Outage #itwasdns

Finally in Firefox <3

Say hello to my little friend

I know I'm quite late to the party, but lazygit is awesome! github.com/jesseduffiel...

The fact that it is impossible to have both a company (with VAT EU where you want invoices) and a private profile (where you don't want them) on Amazon is totally beyond me.

Honestly, there aren't many computer-related activities that are as enjoyable as uninstalling MS Teams.

Uncloud looks super promising in this space. The power of docker without the overhead of k8s > no central control plane to maintain. Each machine maintains a synchronised copy of the cluster state through peer-to-peer communication 🆒 uncloud.run

If you're into coffee, this might be useful honestcoffeeguide.com/coffee-grind...

I'm starting to really dislike lack of ability to log in with a regular password in favor of "we just sent you a login code". If your rationale is that passwords are unsafe, please add a passkey option then 🙏 Looking at you, booking.com (and TBH, many others)

TIL about OTelBin www.otelbin.io Visualize your Open Telemetry Collector configuration

Dear @signal.org, is there special virtual donation box called "for adding GIF selector to desktop app" in addition to regular donation box? IYKWIM ;)

(source probably thejenkinscomic.net, but I cannot find direct comic link)

TIL you can create "template file" on macOS. That naming though 🤦‍♂️ www.macrumors.com/how-to/make-...

Well, you can call Dream Theater many things, but I'm pretty sure that "Classic British Rock" isn't one of them :D

tsconfig.json

Hardcoding logic when you're tight on time doesn't need to make a mess. You can build the abstraction first! swizec.com/blog/build-t...

Trying to switch from `git checkout <branch>` to `git switch`, but muscle memory is stronger. (pun intented)
