"Coup Klux Klan" feels like a keeper

Anyone who happened to know that the White House would announce and then suspend tariffs within 24 hours just made a boatload of money.

Cleaned out a bunch of node modules folder from old projects, which removed 1.8 MILLION files from my laptop!

Dryrobe in London?
Why?

Just for you @ames.world

TFW you’ve nearly chopped all the chillies and then remember you haven’t taken out your contacts yet

Welcome to the mountains.

"You idiots don't understand H-1B visas," explained the rich tech exec. "It's easier to exploit foreign workers, telling them to put in 100 hours a week or they'll get deported."

"Americans think they deserve things like 'rights' and 'weekends,'" he went on. "And that's, like, really unfair to me."

Still working it out, often explicitly saying to propose a solution before writing code, ask for clarifications if needed.
Just started trying a more generic prompt that covers various things stored in a .md file in the project which I can reference so that I don't need to keep repeating.

Pretty sure that @swardley.bsky.social already did the former without needing an LLM.

Am I doing it wrong, I concluded that I liked Copilot (with Claude) and preferred it to Windsurf.
I found windsurf just too damn eager to change a load of code at once and hard to rein in to smaller iterative changes.
Might give it another go though.

As an English teacher with sixteen years in the classroom, THIS all day long. Comics are the most effective gateway drug for reading that there is. More comics in school libraries has to be the goal of anyone serious about literacy. If you are a UK school library we can help with that. Please let us

You are not alone!

The accompanying icon looks like a frozen chicken, so maybe I don’t want to know after all

I wanna know what lead to the “No frozen food” sign on this Megabus

Not glad to be feeling this rough with a 5+ hour train and bus ride to London this afternoon.

Yeah! Although my excitement might have been a bit premature. Gonna have to wait until Christmas for the actual teddy bear. Yesterday's was the teeniest bar of Lindt. Still yummy though 🤷

Supermarket delivery. My Terry’s Chocolate Orange advent calendar has been substituted for a Lindt teddy bear calendar.
I’ll take that as a win

If you’re looking to understand your customers this book is a great read. Highly recommended!

Hope it does the trick

Same, also from Crank House, mine’ll have to wait until Christmas though. Looking forward to this ☕️

Windsurf Editor by Codeium Tomorrow's editor, today. Windsurf Editor is the first AI agent-powered IDE that keeps developers in the flow. Available today on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Toying with Windsurf IDE, trying to pair with it.
Equally impressed and frustrated, like pairing with an over keen dev who wants to change everything at once.

Keeping it under control by asking it to explain the changes it wants to make before letting it implement them.

Screenshot from a scan of page 289 of an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote. The text is set in two columns. In the left column, we read in part “thou hast hit the point, Sancho, which can alone shake my resolution”, and on the right “thy share of the booty would would have been at least the emperor’s crown of gold”; by coincidence, these align so that the phrase “shake my booty” can be read across the columns.

Books designed to be read only by human eyes are different from books designed to be read by machines, which is why Google will tell you that the phrase “shake my booty” can be found in an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote.

Re-reading Recursion by Blake Crouch, ironically I don’t remember much of it from the first time around.
Confusingly, terrifyingly excellent though.
