macOS Liquid Glass, what was wrong with right angles for app windows or at least the more shallow rounded edges like we had.

The roundness of this design is not my favorite.

Looks like a good turnout!

Was really happy to see so many improvements to device management, myself.

Why I’m getting off US tech At least as much as feasibly possible

I’ve also been on a quest to eliminate Big Tech from my life as much as possible. There’s never been a better time because open source alternatives have gotten very good and self-hosting (e.g. using Raspberry Pi with services like Tailscale) has never been easier. open.substack.com/pub/parismar...

I have been watching Shrinking season 2 on Apple TV for the few days. For some reason the Apple TV app on the Apple TV has zero idea what I’ve been up to.

This is a solved problem. How has this software gotten so bad?

Costco really does have all the greatest deals. Just picked up a queen size bed frame made of walnut for like $450.

Almost fully fit inside a golf too πŸ™ƒ

Cooking lunch before the plumber comes to give a repair quote and hoping the cooking happens before they arrive.

Happy birthday, uv! πŸ₯³

To go along with all of the other housing crisis in this country there really needs to be some sort of sensible rules around house flippers. Requiring licensed and bonding maybe.

Totally possible that I’m talking out of my ass since I have a sample problem of 1 right now.

Update: it does hurt. ~$15k +/- in repairs.

Don’t buy a flipped out. Save the money on a β€œdated” house and use the difference to flip it yourself using people you trust if you’re not comfortable doing the work yourself.

Have a plumber sit in their truck actively writing a quote for 20 minutes can not be a good thing. This is going to hurt.

Thoughts and prayers please.

I’m interviewing people for a role on my team and I’m the one that’s stressed.

That seems weird.

I am begging you: if you are writing a thread of more than a couple posts, get a blog. I don’t mean this in a mean way. I mean: allow this thought to continue to exist, outside of this platform, in an actually coherent, readable format that sticks around for longer than 20 minutes. You deserve it!

We’re building a new static type checker for Python, from scratch, in Rust.

From a technical perspective, it’s probably our most ambitious project yet. We’re about 800 PRs deep!

    […] in the era where these AI systems are true 'everything machines', people will out-compete one another by being increasingly bold and agentic (pun intended!) in how they use these systems, rather than in developing specific technical skills to interface with the systems.

    We should all intuitively understand that none of this will be fair. Curiosity and the mindset of being curious and trying a lot of stuff is neither evenly distributed or generally nurtured. Therefore, I'm coming around to the idea that one of the greatest risks lying ahead of us will be the social disruptions that arrive when the new winners of the AI revolution are made - and the winners will be those people who have exercised a whole bunch of curiosity with the AI systems available to them.
