Huh. Trying out Opus 5, and that's the second time today it's gone above any beyond. The first time was welcome, but it just built a little feature that I didn't ask for and don't want. Not sure what to make of this.

To install a PWA on iOS, you have to: - Navigate to the site - Open the menu - Click "share" (wtf!?) - Click the SECOND "more" ellipsis icon (not the first!) - Click "add to home screen" - Click the "Add" button This is, to me, unacceptably byzantine. Just deliberately hostile on Apple's part.

Just took me 15 tries to get a password accepted by Fidelity. If your app has requirements for a password, you need to tell me which I'm failing on, ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE POORLY WRITTEN AND MEAN SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT THEY SAY

The more you know about your program before you execute it the better, therefore Lean is the future of all programming. In this essay I shall...

maybe rust & typescript being more popular in the LLM era spells final victory for strongly-typed languages & indicates that many people just didn't like them because type-safe code "felt" more onerous to write (bc of time horizons). now that we have machines that write code for us, type safety wins

Backfilling Bluesky follows with Happyview, attempt 2: 18 hrs in, and it's working! However, I notice that it's not using much bandwidth. Should it really be waiting to resolve every PDS before downloading repos? I assume we're getting rate limited on PDS resolution. #atproto

New interface for tracking backfills in @happyview.dev. It updates in real-time to provide a much better view into how the backfill is going. Backfill jobs can also resume after a restart now, which wasn't always the case. #atproto

Star Gambit Beta Launch: things are working, good times were had. As expected, no explosive uptake; time to focus on player experience and the community. If you'd like to give it a go, drop in tomorrow at 4-5pm Eastern (20:00 UTC) for our weekly play session! play.stargamb.it

What if we emphasize the shape of a handle instead of teaching vocabulary? With a little animation, we can show a examples of handles they might recognize and hint at more with "@proto.handle".

If you like spaceships and strategy, this one's for you. The Star Gambit's open beta launches on the 25th. It's been a great 2 years building it as a hobby. At long last, Star Gambit is ready. Are you? (tournament stream on the 18th)

Star Gambit@stargamb.it · 4mo ago

IMPORTANT: STAR GAMBIT OPEN BETA INCOMING! Prepare your fleet for some space battles! Star Gambit's open beta launches on Saturday, April 25th at 10:00 AM ET. Whether anonymous or competing for rating, anyone can play at play.stargamb.it #gamedev #boardgames #stargambit

@iame.li I'm looking to stream to Streamplace, but I'd also like to broadcast on Twitch/YouTube as well. Any good software/services to assist with that? I'm a little worried about the upload bandwidth on my home internet.

Yooo the tool to import YouAndMe connections into your repo by @7hird.dev reached even Toni in just 2 days (max) That's cool (and he saw us fighting for the most connections lol it was fun)

Conference Takeaways I’m back from ATmosphereConf in Vancouver, and I'm processing what I saw and heard. The atproto developer community could not have been nicer and more welcoming. Here are some takeaways. ... https://toni.org/2026/04/03/conference-takeaways/

@ptr.pet I like hydrant, but I lost some progress on my backfill when my PC lost power. Right now I've got it stopping hydrant and taking a backup every hour. Two questions: is it possible/safe to backup hydrant while it's running? Is there a better way to not lose data on an unexpected shutdown?

Paul Johnecheck@7hird.dev · 4mo ago

Ooh yeah hydrant is moving. Maxed out my residential internet no problem, gonna be like 10 days til I have all the full follow graph (though probably more since I'll throttle it to spare some bandwidth). Thanks @ptr.pet.
