'Tis the season for resolutions & commitments to new things. Here's what I'm starting: https://t.co/snVwpi9STp Inspired by @CoolSWEng's Code Reading book - this' a space to grow our code-reading skills! I invite you to read my intro post "10 PRINT": https://t.co/KtSiLhDdOU

Best way to learn a tech is to stupidly try to build something better than it.

results which hold across many orders of magnitude of scale and across many decades highlight how deep learning is uncovering something fundamental

@canadianbryan We have BSD users on the team!

If a designer knows how to code, it actually makes him worse If you know about how it will be implemented, you start to limit yourself If Steve Jobs was an engineer, he wouldn't have designed the iPhone

@GabrielPeterss4 Switch 100% to ed (the standard editor). Only read man pages. Throw away your phone.

I'd like to try iPhone + T-Mobile + Starlink next.

Iridium messaging is indispensable. (ChatGPT over SMS works) Apple’s Globalstar meanwhile? I've seen one successful message ever sent - from a parking lot. It took minutes. Can't rely on it.

Over time, I stopped bringing my Starlink Mini. I no longer want full internet while camping. I write. I read. That’s enough.

I used to bring both Starlink and Garmin inReach camping - curious to compare them side by side. Starlink gave me flaky internet under trees - 15 seconds at best. inReach Iridium worked even deep in forest cover.

@usgraphics What keyboard is that?

Stop typing at AI. Start talking to it. Voice input isn't just faster, it fundamentally changes how you think with AI. When you type, your brain goes into edit mode. When you speak, it goes into discovery mode. Current AI doesn't care about your "umms" and awkward pauses. It

@eisenkranz you are wrong sir they do human vs horse races. The humans win. they've had to shorten these types of races because horses were dying.

AI's ability to make Linux far more approachable is underrated. I use it constantly to look up configs, errors, and explain concepts. Folks with no ricing experience are tuning Hyprland with ease using AI. It's the great equalizer of esoteric knowledge.

@usgraphics Are you familiar with Reynolds & Reynolds ERA Access? I used it at my old dealership job and it was lightning fast. I actually prefer it to IBM's Maximo, the asset manager I'm using at my current job because everything has to be done with the mouse instead of the keyboard.

Microsoft released a new terminal text editor! It's called Microsoft Edit, it's open source, it's tiny (about 250KB as a Rust binary) and it works cross-platform. They built it for Windows 11 - I've been trying it out on my Mac and it's a nice alternative to Vim or nano

Pros and cons of each? Which do you prefer — fast iteration or thorough upfront design? Is one of these programming styles more effective in the long run?
