Just had my first small group workout session. Mostly strength training, with a little bit of cardio. For too long, I valued my brain more than the rest of my body, fueled by uncertainty of what I'm able to do given my disability, and fear of being judged. This feels like the start of a good change

Dear fellow men. When you go into a train bathroom to pee SIT THE FUCK DOWN`! Your aim probably isn't as good as you think, even outside a moving vehicle, and i don't wanna do my business in the middle of a puddle.
You know what doesn't cause apocalyptic skylines and wildfires? Solar panels. Can we stop burning fossil fuels and just start massively investing more in renewables and battery tech, please?
It's 1AM, and I can't sleep because after starting to read a book on free will, I'm going down a philosophical rabbithole about what free will even is. And honestly, i'm coming to the conclusion that free will is a shared concept/illusion, just likemoney and time, (especially lunchtime).
The longer I work as a programmer, the more I feel like enforced argument labels are a fantastic feature of Swift (originally from Objective-C), and I feel like more programming languages should steal this concept. It makes it so much cleaner what arguments mean when you pass them!
Excited to see this sihpped! This allow some fantastic accessibility improvements in web apps.

I think Ticket to Ride needs a "hulk" card that lets you smash your oponents trains and claim their track, but only if you're truly annoyed by their move.
When Einstein developed general relativity the closest thing to a practical application that could even be imagined at the time was a slightly more precise description of where to look for the planet Mercury in the sky, and yet now we’d all be literally lost without it. Anyway: fund basic research.
Mike Boylan-Kolchin@mbkplus.bsky.social · 4mo agoGPS satellites move at 1/100000 the speed of light, causing their clocks to tick slower by 7 microseconds per day, and orbit at a height that makes their clocks tick faster by 45 microseconds per day. Two relativistic effects, both at the 1 part in 10 billion level, both essential for GPS accuracy 🧪
the gap between "i built this with AI in 20 min" and "it took 3 hours to debug the regex" is the entire vibe coding experience shipping fast is great. understanding what you shipped? that's the part that keeps your app alive at 3am
passkey is imho one of the most important security developments that touch consumers and also one of the worst consumer rollouts i ever witnessed because every company involved treats everything like an enterprise customer solution
