Because you’re allowed to do something doesn’t mean you can do it without repercussions. In this case, the consequences are very much on the mild side: if you use LLMs or diffusion models, a relatively small group of mostly mid- to low-income people who are largely underdogs in t … | Continue reading
I really, really like the progressive enhancement approach that Remy is taking here with outbound links: When a real user clicks on a link, it’s swapped out to be redirected through my own endpoint that checks if the URL is still OK, and if so permanently redirects the visitor, … | Continue reading

I’ve been reading listening to “Bird by Bird” by Anne Lamott and two things stuck out – one, I didn’t know Anne Lamott is funny, and by extension, that this book is funny. Two, I love that Anne calls the very first draft of what writers write as “shitty first drafts”. I love it n … | Continue reading

In the eternal quest to rewrite everything in Rust, even the C standard library isn’t safe from carcinisation. Modern Rust programs are, for the most part, written mostly in Rust. For networking applications, the entire asynchronous stack is Rusty; no libuv in sight, only mio and … | Continue reading
All of Brian's approach to dependencies and concerns about long-term support, we're talking 10 years here, are absolutely excellent spot on and he goes on to talk about enhance.dev which is really a nation of first approach to building software. Source: www.infoq.com | Continue reading

On the Console Repair Discord I'd offered to fix a Pokémon Sapphire cart that was initially not working, but then went to a repair shop and came back with a leg on one of the chips missing.

Although ffconf has been running since 2009, sponsorship is always a process that you have to start from scratch.

I’m so pleased that we’ve now shipped a feature I’ve been nurturing since the launch of Firefly six years—er, months 🤪—ago. It enables all kinds of fun visual ping-pong, like riffing on sloth politicians: . | Continue reading
Useful tool to check the meta tags used and preview how they'll appear in various social media sites, particular as Twitter declines, the need for Twitter specific meta tags becomes less and I realise I should support the opengraph tags (og:*) more carefully.

There is a common sentiment I’ve seen over and over in the Rust community that I think is ignorant at best and harmful at worst. This blogpost is largely a response to this post by Matt Kline, but I’ve seen this kind of sentiment all over the Rust community. I’ve found that, in a … | Continue reading
Last night I received a call from my bank. They'd detected an unusual transaction and wanted to make sure that it was legitimate. Had I recently purchased £10,000 worth of crypto in the Maldives?

GNOME Calendar 45 will be a groundbreaking release in terms of UX (more on that later?), performance, and to some extent, reliability (we’ve at least solved two complex crashers recently, including a submarine Cthulhu crasher heisenbug and its offspring)… and yet, I think this mi … | Continue reading
That's one of the extreme nicknames for Xi Jinping that are being used to avoid censorship. It consists of the three tones for his name, Xí Jìnpíng 习近平. Likewise, netizens are referring to him as "2-4-2". He is also called "N" because that reminds people of ↗↘↗. Another emergi … | Continue reading

We're having a reunion at Berkman on September 7th and 8th in Cambridge and of course I'm going. Just reviewed the schedule where there were several references to the term "unconference."
