Very interesting, thank you.

Question, how much of this is on the devs and how much is on the networks and device manufacturers?

People who aren’t tech savvy might not realize that they’re being sold or given the modern equivalent of a Pentium II phone. At a certain point, that old horse has to be put to pasture.

I’m guilty of letting the LLM do this in my own repos.

What about always writing extraneous markdown files in your repo that you never asked for. It’s in my rules to stop it, but they easily forget.

Will this be recorded at all?

Chrome DevTools Console showing lazy loading audit results: 46 images without lazy loading detected, totaling 4.34 MB, with a list displaying the first 5 images showing their resolution (900x600) and individual file sizes ranging from 14.63 KB to 104.76 KB.

I've updated the WebPerf Snippet "Find non Lazy Loaded Images outside of the viewport" to list images without loading="lazy". Now it shows:

- Total number of images
- Total file size
- Individual details: URL, resolution & file size

I never ever knew this was a thing. Very very cool.

TL;DR

Is music a side project, or the main project, funded by your day time job?

I ask, because I work in e-commerce and honestly don’t give a lick for it. If I could, I’d be writing songs or drumming or playing guitar or doing YouTube reviews of guitar pedals all day long.

I’m at 98/100 in my remote Physical Geography course at Minnesota North college, I could quit now and get a 70% or C grade. The temptation is real.

Oh god, you like to suffer, don’t you

I was playing Nick Harrison’s “Art Official Soul” on Spotify and my wife said “how dare you bring that into my house.”

For those who don’t know, it’s 100% AI-generated covers of songs done in an old-school soul style.

I said “but does it sound good?” And her response? “I don’t care.”

Fatality.

between diarrhea and constipation, which would most correspond to yin and yang? In traditional Chinese medicine terms (very roughly mapped): Diarrhea aligns with excess yin or deficient yang. Reason: loose stools, cold symptoms, lack of digestive “fire,” fluids moving too quickly. Constipation aligns with excess yang or deficient yin. Reason: dryness, heat, slowed movement, too little moisture to lubricate the bowels. It’s not a perfect one-to-one, but that’s the standard correspondence.

See, I knew there must have been a greater purpose in making ChatGPT widely available to the unwashed masses like me. How else would I have learned this nugget of traditional Chinese medicine?

When people get annoyed at me for at least insisting on public slack channel discussions instead of dozens of private messages or private team channels, this is why. I know it’s annoying _now_, but it’s essential Slack hygiene so we at least have a chance at finding something.

Is there more to that article? Am I supposed to view a video or something? I’d like to read more, but there’s nothing else to read or do when I read that introduction

No guessing what the business logic is.

Before I left my last job, I was building exactly this. Xstate + Zod. I loved the idea of having an exact, testable flow for every step and state. With the visualizer, the PM’s can write out the entire exact flow.

Would have been glorious. Then I switched jobs and it’s in the dust bin.

Just fired up the Zed editor for the first time. I like it so far. Ported over my MCP settings and configured it to use Shopify’s internal AI proxies, and it’s cooking.

It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

I just watched it last night. Really good. I was worried that the effects would bother me or the monster design. But overall, it held up. The casting was excellent.

Do I feel bad that I’m spending valuable energy resources arguing in bad faith with ChatGPT about aliens? A little.

I am really loving the Rust language. I like how it forces me to be technically correct, which is the best kind of correct. And it’s not so hard, really. I thought so back before I learned Typescript and a little C#, but now I realize the difficulty for me was always types, coming from Python and JS

I go in waves with this. Band shirts are generally lowest common denominator quality and fit, but they’re better looking than most “technical” t-shirts made out of better materials. In wet, cold winters, nothing beats a good merino wool t-shirt.

My one college class that I’m enrolled in hangs over me every week. Just like in days of yore, I put it off until the last minute and cram it through at the last second.

Never change, Dan. Never change.

Sigh… LGTM

Brutal. I was never good at things like coding tests anyway. This would kill me.
