My very mcu critical brother just went and saw spider man and unironically told me it's a 10/10 movie. I have panic purchased tickets for 20 minutes from now ha.

Have had the index 01 for a singular day and I don't ever want to be without one now. Can't remember the last time I felt that way about a gadget
TIL @hankgreen.bsky.social is one of the most prescient commentators on modern SWE
The Jevons Paradox is how I somehow fill my weekly Claude usage limit faster on the $200 plan compared to when I was on the $20 plan.
Very stoked to see more and more wasm things moving forward!
This is very exciting!
Blows my mind people use gchat over slack / discord in the big '26. I would genuinely rather go back to teams
Got into a *very* exciting alpha testing program for some hardware 👀 arrives Monday!
Feels good to be building things that provide value for people man
@railway.com has a pretty sweet new feature flags system in priority boarding. Would definitely recommend checking it out if you're building there.
Ohhh why didn't anyone tell me this was a thing 👀 developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...
light-dark() - CSS | MDN
The light-dark() CSS <color> function enables setting two colors for a property - returning one of the two colors options by detecting if the developer has set a light or dark color scheme or the user...

Was just in a sales call for a routing management web gateway (LB, Reverse Proxies, etc). They're showing us a "remote push" feature for NGINX config. I asked how it handles validation pre-deploy and rollback of bad configs: "Well, I'd try not to push bad configs..." and then "test locally first."

Alt: a GIF of me laughing, then slowly losing my mind and crying because the validation plan being "don't push bad configs" is wild for an "enterprise" LB management gateway.

Just read through the clauses in Bill C-22. Disappointing. This bill is a net negative for all Canadian's digital privacy rights; it's literally just legislating a carve-out for mass surveillance of Canadian citizens.
Feeling like we are learning in real time that the friction around writing code was a useful filter for quality. To build something meaningful you had to really want to build it, now you can sort of just vibe code tools together without much commitment.
Got the whole family addicted. High score of 52 left so far- will check in
I can’t remember which newsletter it was in but my whole family are now simultaneously playing this stupid thing and it’s simple and joyous! 100jumps.org/play/
Someone gets it. (See also: https://qntm.org/mmacevedo — I maintain that Sam would be one of the most significant hard SF authors of the decade if he didn't have a day job to distract him from writing)
What, you don't want to be MMAcevedo?
CSS was always a programming language y'all just couldn't handle that you were bad at it.
i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript) you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS lyra.horse/x86css/
Just finished iron gold part 1. All I have to say is

Everyone in tech is over optimizing for scale that they'll never see and I'm tired of pretending all the added complexity is always the right engineering choice.
I seriously love writing Golang, but I have 0 legitimate use for it at work- feels so hard to find time to actually learn it deeply. Any chance I do feels great though.

Serverless functions might scale throughout well but good God do they not scale maintainability in the same way. Have a ~15k LoC Function App I've built out for a project at work to really kick the tires on it and man

Man I love being a dad. I know there will be tough times ahead, just as there have been tough times in the past but I've never been part of something so rewarding and beautiful. So cool getting to help a little one grow. Even if sometimes he robs you of sleep and pukes on you.
