This is a great sketch. Not just Ashley Padilla's performance, which is perfect, but the writing as well.

It's been so cold in NYC the past few weeks that going outside when it's 32F feels like spring

something like the README for Github profiles, that would be dope.

imagine you could specify embeds and widgets for different ATmosphere apps that could be rendered there.

Smothered country-fried steakΒ biscuits I took a deep dive into buttermilk and its important spot in the breakfast kitchen. Spoiler alert: it's very useful in creating a great, fast-food-style fried steak biscuit.

I wrote about the importance of buttermilk's role in the breakfast kitchen while creating this comforting smothered, country-fried steak biscuit. A little bit of acid goes a long way to creating a fantastic sandwich experience. Click through to get the recipes.

Reading faces Processing facial emotions expands from the sensory to the prefrontal cortex as children grow older.

As children grow, their brains get better at reading emotions from faces. Young children focus on features, while older children and teens also use areas for interpreting meaning.

I would definitely like a world where an app dev w/ a domain could just manage new user repos in an existing PDS like Selfhosted and provide a subdomain for identity handle. it would decouple the two.

It could provide a potential business model for PDSes: storage (free/premium), management, etc.

Introducing Found for Teams Learn more about how to collaborate with with co-owners, employees, and accountants using Found's team features.

For my consulting work, I have been using Found for my banking needs and I've been really pleased with it.

I've also been building @diasporabooks.nyc with my friend and we are using Found as well. Managing a single login was very cumbersome. But I just found out they now have teams. Sweet tool!

keep the scope small and maintainable
write the README yourself, even if it’s imperfect
only use AI sparingly and intentionally, if at all

It would be awesome if the CLI could create a bsky post and add it to the record.

Something like the title and optionally a small excerpt (I have an excerpt field in my frontmatter but there might be standard field for it) with a check on post length.

question: how about comments? In the past, I was embedding a Bluesky post and fetching the likes, reposts, and replies. Is there a built-in way to do so?

Doing Data Science on the Shoulders of Giants: The Value of Open Source Software for the Data Science Community

Reading this article and came across this passage:

"The fact remains, though, that the data science community can’t thrive in the long term if mistakes are frequently slipping into our analyses via buggy code."

Critically important as open-source projects are navigating contributors using GenAI.

Just discovered Ink and I'm super excited to try this!

I'm a big fan of @obsidian.md and I really like Freeform for its infinite canvas. I've been looking for solutions to bring these two closer together.

I tried Excalidraw in Obsidian but it didn't give me the handwriting experience I wanted.

It's like the Bridgy for messages 🌈

The team is doing a terrific job and they've ported a majority of their bridges to run locally in the app with no reliance on their servers. A few of them are still left like RCS/SMS.
