It’s always a bummer when the mediocre airport buffet I paid $700 for has too long of a wait.

Oh we're gonna do this again YouTube? Self-hosting your own media content on a Raspberry Pi is not "dangerous or harmful". I'm appealing of course; they're saying installing LibreElec on a Raspberry Pi circumvents copyright?!

If you make USB-C powered things, put in the damn resistor.

Why does every AI demo involve booking things? There is nuance that comes up during the booking process about my preferences and tastes that I can't even explain to another human, let alone summarize for an LLM. Does anyone actually want an agent that books travel for them?

Go developers are pessimists by nature. They spend so much time and energy focusing on everything that could go wrong.

Can everyone stop adding dotfiles to all of my projects? (vscode, cursor, docker, "editor", github, etc) Can we just agree on a fucking convention here? `.files/vscode, .files/cursor....`?

📣 Hey former tweeps & coworkers! I've joined up with a very cool project in the AI/devops space and we're hiring engineers! If you're reading this, you're probably one of the people I'd love to work with again! Reach out if this sounds exciting to you.

oh you want me to drink water? the same thing that killed the titanic? nice try

The xz fiasco has shown how a dependence on unpaid volunteers can cause major problems. Trillion dollar corporations expect free and urgent support from volunteers. @Microsoft @MicrosoftTeams posted on a bug tracker full of volunteers that their issue is "high priority"

So, if Adam's WeWork purchase goes through, does this mean I can stop paying my mortgage for a few months and then buy from the lender at a discount? Seriously why do we still pay any attention to this asshole?

Welcome to hell. Your only choice of ISP is Comcast and you have to use their shit gateway. All of your neighbors have this too and their tx/rx power is max because MORE POWER.

In python, None could be iterable (with zero items). It would save a chunk of code here and there.

I found myself automatically clicking "disagree" to Southwest's carry on agreement because of this.

Hey any PMs that follow me - know the pattern of making the button you want me to press stand out? Well, it's successfully trained me to automatically hunt for and press the other button.

Long shot, but has anyone re-flashed their washer/dryer with custom sounds?

Friendly reminder that when you keep a venmo balance, you're giving an enormous, shitty company an interest free loan.
