Yay! I got my copy of the @htmx.org source code!

Ok, this is getting ridiculous

Created an account on OSM to contribute, had zero activity, got immediately suspended. At least on Wikipedia, they waited until I added a comma before telling me I was a terrorist.

AI made creating proposals for the new European notes super easy, so you find some real gems:

Ruff 0.16.0 - Astral's fast Python linter - came out a few days ago and increased the number of default-enabled rules from 59 to 413, which highlighted all sorts of problems across my projects (1618 in sqlite-utils alone) simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/25/...

This is the best take on PR on this website.

Human PR reviews are not a way to improve the code, but a way to align and coordinate the team. Plus still the best way to develop junior engineers.

I just had people from NordVPN ask me to promote one of their new products. I guess that's how you know you made it nowadays O_o

"The earring is always right" gwern.net/doc/fiction/... This, "Mrs. Davis" and "Pluribus" is proof that art is the best way to express the paradoxical nature of our relationship with AI. Although so many people didn't get the subtext of "Don't look up" I doubt it matters. Still cool.

Comment on HN about Open AI starting its ads program: "The ultimate shareholder value build": news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4899... It's actually the biggest risk of AI. Humans are already terrible at assessing the truth, but creating a holistic behavior nudge is now possible.

Found this on some random /r, pretty accurate

Signaled that a post on Reddit is clearly an AI summary automatically posted by a bot. Get insta banned from the subreddit. The post still has a lively comment section of people completely oblivious to the fact that they are responding to no human.

It seems we’re all finding how exhausting this new LLM world can be. From Martin Fowler, Salvatore Sanfilippo, Simon Willison, Steve Yegge and many more. vargascarlos.com/2026/02/18/L...

There are like only three design patterns you need to use 80% to make stuff good and fast and elegant Make it a lookup (hashmap) Split it up into smaller pieces (sharding) Combine it into one large piece (map reduce)

Things like the 2=>3 Python 15 years stagnation will be a nothing burger from now on.

Updating code base to upgrade dep versions is really a fantastic use case for LLM. A friend of mine was stuck in django 3.2 for years and years, and then just migrated to 5 in the blink of an eye this year.

The account I didn't know I needed to follow: dreamy visualisations for fun and, well, fun

Oops! All Paperclips@all-paperclips.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I'm on a lifelong hunt for the infinite visual novelty machine. The natural world has such a stunning variety of beauties. I never tire of looking at the trees, the mountains, the waves. Why? I'm trying to find out. Fluoddity gets closer to that nature-feeling than any other system I've explored

Python 3.14 compiled to metal – no interpreter https://github.com/can1357/pon

Looking at what coding is practiced in the age of AI, I can't help but laugh at all the useless fights we had decades ago about: - vim vs emacs - tab vs space - my language vs your language Damn, I feel silly.

I guess the argument against invite trees as practices on lobsters is the monoculture of opinion that comes from it. Good idea, but suboptimal outcomes in practice if you don't fully align with the vibes.

What's absolutely amazing is that after the Rampocalypse, the sony debacle and the GTA 6 pricing shock, everything that people didn't like about Nintendo and the switch 2 feels so pale that they went back to being the best boï on the block without even trying. Sometime you just need to do less bad.

Sony: we are getting rid of game discs forever fuck you Microsoft: our next console cant even read game discs fuck you Nintendo: Samus is BACK and BOY, is she HUNGRY

The sony physical media outrage is the perfect example of humanity failing: - nerds screamed we should fight that for decades - nobody cared and kept rewarding every service doing so - pikachu face when it becomes the norm - and then most will forget their fake values and buy anyway Repeat

There was a lot of dunking on the Steam Machine because it's very expensive for the specs (which it is). I booked to buy one anyway. And I just received a notification that I've been moved to the waiting list because it's sold out. I repeat: at this price point and specs, it STILL sold out.
