If Taylor Swift really wanted a private wedding venue she should’ve considered the National Mall.
Date yourself with a snap of your first ever computer. I used to get second hand Coco magazines and spend hours typing programs into the computer. We had an old cassette recorded with a dodgy motor and bootleg cassette tapes where you would spend 30 minutes to load Donkey Kong 50% of the time.
For once, I am not offended by the use of ComicSans. Epic!!!

Hey CNN (us.cnn.com/2026/06/01/t...) tell me you haven't travelled domestically in Australia or New Zealand without telling me you haven't travelled domestically there. We can even bring full water bottles through. 🤯
It appears I won the Plex Lifetime Pass lotto. Being an early mover at $75 seems to have paid off versus the $750 now.
"some tasks were trivial for AI while others required my intense direction and oversight. AI constantly made mistakes and unfounded assumptions, some egregious, but I estimate roughly a 10x boost over my own time spent coding this." @markrussinovich.bsky.social on using AI for a new Zoomit feature
AI-coded ZoomIt update with Panorama feature and more | Mark Russinovich posted on the topic | LinkedIn
The latest Sysinternals ZoomIt update has features that are entirely AI-coded, and I wanted to share a bit about them and experience I had coding them. I used GH Copilot, Claude Code, and Codex with...

I worked for Ry for over two years and have known him a lot longer. Whatever has happened, I know it has been very considered and taken it very personally, likely with great anguish and self-accountability. He has always been there as CEO of Deno. 1/
Wow. Hugs to all my ex-Deno colleagues. It was great working with you all. Reach out if I can help or you want to chat.
Ok, I'm sold. Been forcing myself to use Claude Code for my side projects to see what all the fuss was about and wow, just threw it a gnarly problem I couldn't fix (CSS) it made one attempt and actually tried what I had tried before to no luck. I was giving up hope, but told it to maybe look...
U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
James Cameron on leaving the US: “Where would you rather live? A place that actually believes in science and is sane and where people can work together cohesively to a common goal, or a place where everybody’s at each other’s throats, extremely polarised...” www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ja...
‘Everybody’s at each other’s throats’: James Cameron says he has left the US permanently

Saw the letter to Norway, thought for a moment I wad reading @theonion.com then realised, nope, reality.
Yes, AI coding agents maybe accelerating the decline of the OSS business models, but it has been broken for decades. You can't make money doing OSS. It is only out of a position of privilege that you can do OSS over the long term, and we must continue to demand that of those who have privilage. 1/
Pretty wild that LLMs seem to have trained on my 2019 article of "The product-minded engineer" and I now find blog posts published in 2025 that are an exact rehash of my post. Because if you ask an LLM "write a blog about a product-minded engineer" they spit out mine!!
My goal in life is to be wrong enough to warrant a sub-skeet by @searyanc.dev. His takes on the trials and tribulations of OSS are so good.
If feel so old. My 7yo is all 67, Ballerina Cappucina and Bombardiro Crocodillo. It is almost a full time job to keep upto speed so I can understand.
Hey @deno.land Deploy EA ability to add environment variables is broken. I don't know for how long. Tried on multiple browsers.
Now we are going to fixate on the East Wing instead of murdering foreign nationals, kidnapping citizens and disappearing non-criminal immigrants. Perfect distraction politics.
Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction. My friends, they have lost the flag.

It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help. He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...
