Same. My old M1 still flies, especially when I edit with proxies

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

A photo of the man murdered by ICE today, just before the shooting. He’s standing and holding a phone in his right hand and holding his empty left hand to the sky and looking behind him at a woman running away while an ICE agent closes in on him from the front. On the ground behind the man is a woman that the victim will soon try to help, leading several ICE agents to attack him and pin him to the ground, before shooting him several times.

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

would be interesting to talk to some old timer assembly/C devs about their transitions to ‘modern’ languages. though LLM transition seems to have taken 1/100th the time

Any insights on replies from your email list? Is learning things still a thing? Programming world feels a lot different than 5 years ago.

Great meeting you at SF Ruby! After your talk I was initially hoping you'd open-source sidekiq, but after talking with you i've changed my mind. i'm now rooting hard for you to get as much private equity as possible so you can shovel it into Queue Commons. Please have plenty of secure bike parking!

That was a pretty good shake. Quake prediction on the other site is calling it a… foreshock? 😬

it seems damn good so far. it feels 'quieter' or more deliberate it in what it reads and takes on. Google had a chance of taking over my CC max account for a few days, but instead they launched a model without offering CLI support - even for paying customers

Being an amateur and having an audience is as good as it gets. I think the move now is probably learning Resolve. Free option, no subscription and has best color tools. Also seems happy to open up any apps timeline (it’s all XML anyway) 🚲

Behind the scenes it's a ruby library for creating Final Cut and Adobe Premiere files. And then a bunch of Claude Code skills to automate and put it all together.
