> There’s one guy who is so annoyed at people using the phrase “comprised of” when they actually mean “composed of” that he fixes it on tens of thousands of Wikipedia pages. No amount of to-do lists, bullet journals, pomodoros, kanbans, Moscow methods, Eisenhower decision matrices, or […]

Cat (trying to look disinterested in its picture being taken) sitting in a wheel chair as if it is her own. The photo is set in between a living room and a kitchen with the wheel chair in between the back of a couch and a kitchen table bench

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the cat sit in my son’s wheelchair before

Picture of a television showing the time watched / time remaining of a broadcast. It reads “01:26 / Infinity:NaN:NaN”

This is the broadcast that never ends.

#AppleTV #NFL #RedZone

A rather scruffy (positive) looking orange cat. He has extra long whiskers on his cheeks and eyes. His ears have big tufts at the top that look like flames, and his paws are polydactyl.

Ditto, reaching forward with the left paw

LOOK AT THIS FUCKING CAT

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

iOS fakes an infinite rotating dial by just making a really long repeating list, cause nobody would ever scroll all the way to the bottom, right? 😂

A photo of a MacBook on a table, coffee mug on the side. The MacBook’s screen shows a fullscreen meeting alert from the app In Your Face.

Kiddo: why do you put the full year with "20" at the front when you sign the school forms?

Remember you don't have to choose how to pronounce 'gif' when writing #AltText, that should be enough of an incentive, surely?

Drawing of a cartoonish frog. Its tongue is sticking out as if drooling while a fly circles overhead. The frog is holding a spoon in one hand and a fork in the other when all it needs is its own tongue (isn’t it ironic, don’t you think). The frog is squatting in a typical frog pose. This is drawn on the side of a brown paper lunch bag.

What do frogs order at fast food restaurants?

French Flies.

Screenshot of a GitHub Codespaces VS Code interface showing a README.md file for codespaces-llm repository. The file describes a GitHub Codespaces environment with LLM, Python 3.13, uv and the GitHub Copilot VS Code extension. It has a "Launch Codespace" button. Below shows a terminal tab with the command "llm 'Fun facts about pelicans'" which has generated output listing 5 pelican facts: 1. **Huge Beaks:** about their enormous beaks and throat pouches for scooping fish and water, some over a foot long; 2. **Fishing Technique:** about working together to herd fish into shallow water; 3. **Great Fliers:** about being strong fliers that migrate great distances and soar on thermals; 4. **Buoyant Bodies:** about having air sacs beneath skin and bones making them extra buoyant; 5. **Dive Bombing:** about Brown Pelicans diving dramatically from air into water to catch fish.

GitHub Codespaces provides a free web-based development environment backed by a Linux container... and it turns out it also includes a GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable that provides free API access to the GitHub Models collection of LLMs

Catching up on everyone’s hot takes about the GitHub CEO announcement. I’m so fascinated by them all. My take is so very different. Things are way more boring than people assume.

One of the gloved hands at the end of the arm is holding open the door and the other gloved hand is holding a bell pointed upward

@BeAware ugh. That’s terrible that people do that to you. The black and white thinking that some people show is so unhelpful and makes is next to impossible to have a productive conversation.

One of my favorite things about interacting with medical professionals is how the typical meaning of so many things gets flip flopped. You know, kind of how like being “negative” is usually a good thing in medicine.

The most recent instance of this for me was at the nephrologist the other day […]

@BeAware I can’t speak for others, but I’ve always interpreted the phrase to mean slop that happens to be AI generated. Not all AI generated content is slop and not all slop is AI generated.

There’s no denying that there is a lot of “slop” out there now that happens to be AI generated, and […]

As I scale systems, everything always points to event sourcing as being a good way to increase scale even further. I’ve been places that started down that path, but nothing that actually made it to production processing millions or more events.

Anyone out there have any stories about event […]
