Childish Gambino called on this one.

This is America.

Life is like a song and a puzzle. And in both cases I want to play it well.

Dear people who make software.

I want you to know that I read your changelogs. I always have. I love knowing what’s knew and fixed.

And almost never bad news in a Release Notes. It’s safe news right now.

Thanks.

Some federal workers are ‘getting wealthy at taxpayer expense,’ says Elon Musk, whose companies have received at least $20 billion from the government

See here's how to do a headline.

It’s a little thing, but now that I have scoped it, I’m making all apps behave that way (changing their custom shortcuts whenever possible) - and it is a huge boost to removing friction while working with apps.

Go ahead, try it. It's awesome.

It uses Option in both, and the left button (control) for the left sidebar, and the right button (command) for the right sidebar.

VScode/Cursor/etc already had the right sidebar set that way, so it was just matching the left with a pattern that would be easy to remember.

Quick life hack I’ve found and now use all the time.

If a tool has a sidebar that you can hide and show (think Obsidian, Cursor, VScode, Notion, etc... app sidebars)

I’ve been setting the shortcuts to
Left sidebar: CTRL+OPTION+B
Right sidebar: OPTION+CMD+B

“What time is my next meeting?” I ask myself.

Then I pick up my phone to glance at my calendar.

Five minutes later when something on instagram is lame enough I remember to turn off my phone.

I then set it down to immediately remember I haven’t checked my calendar.

I'm shook.

How did I not know this?

man, i am not using that but I will be from now on! Pro move.

hope sayulita was awesome.

And I've been doing little things like this for a few months, really moving past my previous comfort zones... and the way it's opening up my curiosity, creativity, and capacity is a significant shift in how I think about things.

How we feel when we do the work we do will change, and I'm hopeful.

I'm currently making an .m4b (audiobook) file from a folder of mp3s using FFmpeg (a command line tool). I would have done it in the past, but felt unsure of myself the whole time.

But this time used AI to write a reusable python script and explain it all as we did it together.

I feel like I've always been a somewhat willing-to-try-anything kind of geek, but I was never a coder.

And so now, I'm so appreciative of having AI guide me through things that were doable, but hard and a little stressful previously.

I've been sick the past couple days, spent today sort of heads down exploring some random shit as I began to feel better.

Looked at the news.

Shouldn't have done that.

wuthufck?

No, i didn't need to make this a github repo, but I wanted to, because I'm having a lot of fun using AI to write code that I've always wanted. And code that I didn't know I needed until AI gave me the option to build it.

This is so much fun.

1. OpenAI's Deep Research is really good.

2. It gives amazing citations.

3. When I copied the output, the markdown was getting weird.

4. So I used Windsurf to write a python script to fix it

5. The result is the domain is each link's anchor text, like god intended.

If we reach ASI - advanced super intelligence, I have a hard time believing it will do what many of us are hoping (or are afraid) it'll do.

How can it be smarter than us and still fall victim to our lies and justifications of the broken systems?

@alexcwilliams.bsky.social Well - congrats. It's comforting that ND is the one team in which I have less to root for than almost any other. But I still feel sad about losing to Ohio St. twice in playoffs/championships. I don't like them. They can bugger off. I don't like them at all. :)

Have you considered Ghost?

Internetting isn’t like it used to be

The spirit and the cat sure seem to be having a great time though.

Hard to tell until me and the sawzall and the van have some time to get acquainted with each other and feel what feels right.

I have to imagine it would make an excellent convertible.

Under 2000 miles!!!

Many things must go right. But I would like to imagine a someday

And so it begins.

Was it imported or are they available here?

In some ways, that makes sense and I can respect that.

It’s a little wild that a team can go 10-2, ranked #1 or #2 for the whole season, and hate on the coach after losing to Michigan.

I mean. I hate Ohio State as much as the next guy. And Michigan too. Hate em both.

Just a wild time to be into sports.

My son immediately after waking up this morning… “Dad! I had the best dream.”

I’m fully intrigued. “Oh yeah? What about?”

He then goes on to describe in detail the tacos he was eating in his dream.

So proud of him.

You know what would be "tough on crime"?
