I discovered there's a really nice coworking space 10 minutes down the road from me in the North Side. Going to sign up so that I don't get S.A.D. staying home all winter

A blog post on new features in Rust, covering the last year and a half (since the last one): www.ncameron.org/blog/recent-... (spoiler: a lot more new stuff than I realised!)

This was one of those things you see on Friday afternoon that you know is going to ruin your evening

Yeah I guess that was pretty vague. It's the amount of lag in a software service we run at my job.

Each bump was a particular customer sending us another huge amount of traffic, and the nosedive at the end was actually me fixing bugs so the service could handle the load better

this was my afternoon & evening

another season, another sewer pipe excavation in my basement 😩

anyone else have a very Linux Morning?

my Ubuntu machine decided to boot up in 1024x768 and no second monitor. I checked Software Updater and saw a bunch of Nvidia driver updates. Software Updater of course then crashed and I had to `apt upgrade` from the CLI. Fortunately back to normal now...

you really think you love squirrels until they dig up all the spring bulbs you just planted

ok I really don't want to ask where you spend your time because it's obviously a personal intrusion, but you are really doing a good job of piquing my interest in cafe bars in pittsburgh

Are you building a cool application with gpui, like William Whittaker's Hummingbird?

big news. I really want to use this to experiment with my crazy ideas for terminals that align really closely with how Zed embeds Alacritty

login isn't working for me. I'm trying to log in with just my handle and an app password - do I need to put in a PDS URL if I have a custom domain handle?

rare mechanic W

what about the radio being set to some nasty ass station

crates.io: Rust Package Registry

Oh man, this is so exciting 🤞 gpui being published on crates.io unlocks so much potential

yeah, what would happen if we just took all the money that we were spending on military-grade armaments and instead just paid them better. surely the cops want a raise????

East Liberty. 400 N Highland Ave - The Home Depot. Caller said that some guy attempted to photograph another person from under a restroom stall while the person was making the air freshener work overtime. The photographer is currently getting his ass beat.

text from friend, idk how to answer this

I finished Moonbound by Robin Sloan last night. Absolutely loved it. Like a weird modern version of The Wizard of Oz.

Also I just found out that Robin Sloan was a producer on that weird film Epic 2014 from 20 years ago...

The fuck is a cantab?

this is probably mostly from PVC glue which I dunno is better or worse than sewage

"TVOC (Ind40)" graph from my AirGradient, showing steady state ~80 (in the green) and then, an hour ago, jumping to >450 (in the red)

plumbers doing work on my house's sewer drainage in my basement:

I know like a million other people are already having this take I just felt it pretty acutely this morning so y'know I am a trendposter

I am a programmer who has begun to find it immensely helpful, especially helping my ADD-addled brain stay productive when I get blocked by an annoying rspec test failing in a confusing way. I'm very happy for that. it's also not going to put us all out of a job

why does there have to be so much damn extremism with AI discourse, geeze. I mean, specifically in relation to coding / "non-creative" stuff

pretty sick that my local pizza bar is now subreddit-famous for bodily removing a slurring piece of shit from their premises. 🤘

goddamn he hit us with TS4 still being the version people play in 2050 😭
