“On OpenAI: Let Them Fight - by Dave Karpf”
These do not look like serious people. They look like a mix of ridiculous ideologues and untrustworthy grifters.
“You are not updating Node.js”
Not sure what to do with the fact that people aren’t updating node, except maybe to say that of course they aren’t. Node is a pain in the ass, through and through. Of course people don’t update it.
“Clear evidence of uplift in Svartsengi | Icelandic Meteorological office”
The rapid, ongoing uplift close to Svartsengi is occurring in the same area where uplift was measured before the magma intrusion formed on November 10
The geological events near Grindavík are not over
“The creepy AI-driven surveillance that may be infiltrating your workplace “
FFS.
This is a thing I’m doing this year. A big Black Friday bundle of pretty much everything I have. It’ll launch the new course, include both my ebooks, as well as maybe some extras
Available from 12:00 GMT Friday until end of day Monday
“Cloudflare does not consider vary values in caching decisions”
Another data point to support the thesis that content negotiation isn’t as well-supported as you’d think that you’re better off avoiding it.
“EU issues Adobe with antitrust warning over $20 billion bid for Figma - The Verge”
Good. This is what regulators are for.
Just heard from my grandmother that she’s been fielding calls from our american relatives (of which we have quite a few) asking how she’s handling the evacuation of Reykjavík
🤦🏻♂️
Watching Icelanders re-report on social media what geologists are saying in Icelandic media is like watching a game of telephone turn into misinformation in real-time.
They use the right words (mostly) but all jumbled up so it ends up meaning something quite different.
“Messin’ around with web components. Also—JavaScript, generally • Lee Reamsnyder”
Fucking Apple just went and fucking changed how you get the emoji popup when using a hardware keyboard on iOS
Fucking asshole companies doing software updates: STOP MOVING MY STUFF AROUND!
Assholes.
“The Bluffer’s Guide to The Mythical Man-Month – Codemanship’s Blog”
Still one of the best books on software development.
I’m probably the prime target audience for The Marvels. Big nerd. Big fan of the characters in both their comics and live action versions. But I can’t bring myself to mask up and go to the cinema for it. I’ve seen enough superhero movies. They don’t warrant the effort.
It’s always fun to see Icelandic media try to “both sides” a potential eruption by finding that one geologist who is certain there won’t be an eruption, who was equally certain when interviewed three years ago there wouldn’t be any eruptions on the Reykjanes peninsula then either
Idle thought: much of modern web dev tooling is built in Rust and available as WASM. Frameworks built in both Ruby and Python could in theory use that and wasmtime to completely remove Node as a front-end tooling without losing functionality
“I Saw ‘Coyote Vs. Acme’ And It’s As Wonderful As Everyone Says It Is”
Dave Green’s Coyote vs. Acme isn’t merely good or above-average – it is SUPERB!
I hadn’t heard about this Rust-based code formatter before. I’d heard about Biome (née Rome) but not this one.
“Deprecation of formatting rules - ESLint - Pluggable JavaScript Linter”
This makes sense.
