I propose to rename Forks in Open Source to Schisms. I think it's more accurate.
It's funny how "low-level virtual machine" is now a more accurate description of WASM than LLVM.
Is me learning stuff from an LLM a distillation attack? (I've heard it's illegal in 7 jurisdictions) 🫣
It's funny how much of AI discourse feels like the Love, Death & Robots episode "When the Yogurt Took Over" 😝 lovedeathrobots.fandom.com/wiki/When_th...

Yes, this is what convinced me that atproto's design is so much better than other networks.
Eli Mallon@iame.li · last wk.I love that the design of atproto was in part inspired by big social Kafka and ScyllaDB server backends and @martin.kleppmann.com's Designing Data-Intensive Applications and the community immediately used it to implement thousands of apps with no backend lol
ugh web is so complicated. that certificate authority looks quite centralized to me. and that CDN might end up expensive to run at scale. and do we really need another standard? just use email

My definition of magic (in programming) is when you make something nonsensical (kinda) work regardless. So to me, the Date API in JS is magic, but a hygienic macro system isn't.
Oooohhhh… that explains it Plus being able to go outside and find cute normies who will info dump about this to you? Mwah. Dream
Lizzie O'Leary@lizzieohreally.bsky.social · 4w agoThe World Cup is truly amazing for people with ADHD. You mean I get to have an immediate hobby that also involves deep research, repeated daily highs, and all-encompassing interest for approximately six weeks then completely forget about it? Sign me the hell up!
@zed.dev Can you decouple the dark/light mode setting for the terminal from the rest of the app please? I want my terminal to always be in dark mode (mostly because some CLIs/TUIs don't handle light mode very well). Thanks!
this is true and I expect it to be one of the most positive externalities of the vibecoding era if it's easier to switch between tools we can more easily kill bad tools
Gordon@gordon.bsky.social · last mo.you know, if there was ever a time for creating a new relational query language it would be now, in the era when Bun can switch from Zig to Rust and GPL gets clean-roomed by vibing until you pass the test suite
This is what functional programming languages are basically (great way to weaponize your autism TBH).

Lots of ink spilled on "Loop engineering", but no one seems to connect it to its much older name: Cybernetics. Maybe by the year's end, we'll recognize that it was all Control Theory engineering all along.
A lot of people have interpreted "it's not antisemitic to criticize Israel" (true) to mean "antisemitism is fine if it's in service of criticizing Israel" (bad, bad, bad, bad, BAD)
heartwarming: the skills you learn while working with AI agents (namely "detecting bullshit") are transferable to working with humans!
In conclusion, just use @gleam.run 👀
James Munns@jamesmunns.com · last mo.My counter hot-take to this is that unless you're using a language (e.g. erlang) or competently designed+built framework to do message passing, you are very likely to end up building half (or less) of what you actually need to be successful, and it's going to be twice (or more) as verbose.
