The Zoopla "Redesign" feature is completely bonkers. It will happily reshape windows, heighten ceilings, or move the property from the middle of a city into beautiful countryside. But it has absolutely no idea that it could possibly put the sofa on the other side of the room.

TIL that Time.now in Ruby has different precisions on OSX and Linux. On OSX I can save a a time to MySQL and retrieve it with no loss of precision (6 decimal places). On Linux it starts with 10 and then comes back with 6 after save & retrieval.

Aliasing `git add . && git commit --amend --no-edit && git push --force` to `yolo` is one of the best things I've ever done\

2x What follows is a version of an email I sent our entire R&D team about an explicit goal and deliberate action we’ll take to become twice as productive through our embrace of AI. Advancements in AI are...

2x is where we landed at Intercom. There are real ways in which AI can speed things up. But for every micro task that it does 100x faster than a human there are a ton of things it cant (yet) do at all.

Hey @pcgamer.com, I’m trying to read an article on your website but you have so much adware on there that every browser on my 2 that old iPhone crashes after about 30 seconds.

This one www.pcgamer.com/steam-deck-b...

PS. Can anyone recommend some steam deck games? Not too long, not too intense.

I’m not one of those people who goes out with wipes and spare clothes. I trust my kids to deal with the world in a sensible way.

Today on the bus my 4 year old put a chocolate egg in his mouth. Chewed it. Then said he didn’t like it and spat it into my hand.

I wish I was one of those people now

It lets you *delete time* from your life. Coupled with high speed air travel this is the closest we are getting to teleportation in my lifetime.

You can actually set it to any font on your system using /slackfont <fontname>, if you are particular about which monospace font to use. Doesn’t persist across restarts though.

I’ve only had it a very short
amount of time. Seems great so far.

Watching something go from the screen to a real object feels magical.

Bambu A1. It’s reasonably priced and by all accounts very easy to use.

It does look like it, but no. It’s the standard test of a 3d printer, called 3DBenchy

Want to hear a sad story? I had a >500 day wordle streak. On the day of my brothers wedding I was too busy and forgot to do it. Never played it again after that.

I think we are all grown up enough to accept that leftover pizza is a 10/10 breakfast but are you heating it up or eating it cold?
