Saw the new Spiderman film today and I haven’t seen anyone talk about how aesthetically pleasing and well-designed the end credits are. I’ve never really paid attention to that before, but damn.

AI can do so so much good in the world, but it's being used to widen the poverty gap instead of doing good. AI isn't the problem, capitalism is the problem.
Ignore the propaganda in that Qwen ad for a second. The core question for the Left remains valid: boycotting AI is a dead end. AI and robotics give us the tools to build the work-free, post-scarcity utopia envisioned by Lafargue and Bookchin.
"the WordPress team have been too busy cleaning up after their mad God-Emperor to take a look" is the greatest comment I have read this summer 😂 shkspr.mobi/blog/2026/07...

Parsers are an interesting topic; #nom has always been my favourite Rust crate for a reason. Now Pratt parsing comes to #Twig! 🥳 Now I want to write my own extension just to play with it 🤔
New in Twig 4.0: Expression Parsers (Symfony Blog)
Twig 4.0 replaces the getOperators() array with expression parser classes, all driven by one small and beautiful parsing algorithm.

wait wait wait. i thought that image of a giant UFC fighting arena on the white house lawn was just ai generated nonsense but i just saw it on the news ... IT'S NOT FAKE?! THAT'S HAPPENING FOR REAL?!
I have trained myself to think CapsLock = Escape, and CapsLock+Space = run an application, that I genuinely struggle to use a computer normally. What do you mean CapsLock makes the letters big? Wow you peasants have it rough. This is a #Kanata appreciation post.

That's because it's correct. Agents are stupid. Borrow checker is smart. Borrow checker is love. Borrow checker is life. I love you, borrow checker.
gdi the argument that you ought to use rust for ai coding does seem really compelling
After 17 years, AO3 is out of beta. I’m thrilled, but also sad? Is this what my mother felt when I left home? (lol, no. It was her birthday and she was pissed) www.transformativeworks.org/ao3-is-exiti...

It’s my first time trying to make ice-cider. It took 5 days for it to start bubbling, and I’m worried that some other bacteria started before the yeast culture could thrive. I’ve never seen that much foam before.
Just saw Project Hail Mary, and it was amazing. It’s one of my favourite books and I was really worried about how well they’d portray it on-screen.
Get yourself a hobby that makes you blush. Remember your arm guards, kids!
I don't think we've talked enough about this login trend using OTPs (one-time passwords) sent via email. My ADHD brain has enough problems staying on task as-is, I don't need you, authentication designer, over here making me open the distraction circus that is my inbox to dig up a six-figure code
Git clones of my side-project are sky-rocketing with no web traffic. Some AI scraper is probably using my code to train their models but, jokes on them, my code's shit. I like to believe that I'm doing my part to make Sonnet 5 that little bit worse <3
People all over the internet were talking about the #SpacetimeDB video and I've only just got round to watching it and... Oh. Wow. That's, er... something. Again, wow.

UPS is the fucking worst. Package cannot be delivered because "The company or receiver name is incorrect." How do you know my name is incorrect if you won't attempt delivery, assholes?
I will never understand why `--locked` is an opt-in flag for `cargo install`. Libraries? Sure, I understand. But for a binary? The decision to ignore the root Cargo.lock by default was a stupid one.
What's a good alternative to the #Kindle store, now that Amazon have stopped the ability to download purchased books, and I'm unable to read any books I purchase on my non-Amazon e-reader?

Sometimes you write cool code you're super proud of! ... but you can't test it because @cloudflare.social has decided your requests are shit ☹️ Yes, I'm aware 525 error means "host server SSL handshake" but works in Firefox perfectly fine and this is blatant discrimination against script kiddies
nom has always been my favourite #rust crate, and v8 has landed! 🥳 Really looking forward to digging into it unhandledexpression.com/nom-8/

#YouTube just enabled native triple-speed playback, and it’s awesome 🥳 (only on the iPad app so far, but hopefully an update will push it to other platforms soon)

It may have taken me hours and hours longer than doing it with #regex (which doesn't deserve the hate btw)... But #AdventOfCode Day 3 is complete and runs in 430µs! This year is all about writing fast parser combinators 💪
