With how many companies give away stroopwafels, it makes me wonder how cheap they are to make.

The http 1.1 spec is so cute. `http://example.com` is valid `http://example.com/` is valid `http://example.com?foo=bar` is not valid `http://example.com/?foo=bar` is valid For some reason query parameters _must_ come after an absolute path.

I've got an `.or` method that returns `Either<A, B>`, but in a good amount of cases `A==B`, so I do `.or(...).map(Either::unify)` which really does what it says on the tin. But... it would be nice to have a method that does that in one... would that be a `.mono`?

The free software movement started with an idea: anyone should be able to make a computer do what they want. AI is making it possible for people who never saw themselves as programmers. I built keepsake.sh for this new kind of builder. What would help you build?

Keepsake keeps a copy of your whole project every time it’s working. If the AI takes a wrong turn, you go back to the last good one instead of digging through version folders.

Currently debugging a scenario & it's been sooo long since I've pulled out `git rebase -i --rebase-merges`. Before I had parallel branches I probably ran this command 3 times a day.

The folks over at @brew.sh are awesome. I was going through the process of reporting a bug that I have been noticing for the last couple months, only to realise that at the very end of writing my report - that it has been fixed 🤦‍♂️🎉. Keep up the great work!

Sitting in Marrakech at the end of the first day of the @gitbutler.com summit, looking up at the stars, listening to the wildlife chirping quietly, and breathing in the clean air. This is something that I truly miss now that I'm living in the city.

Hey, does anyone in Berlin have an apartment, flat-share, or nice couch available for rental? My rental is ending at the end of the month, and despite my immoScout scraping efforts, failed to join any viewings. Thanks

Each time I put register interest in a new apartment the form makes me state that I don't have/want a Hamster, and each time I say "no" it's making me want a Hamster more and more 🥹

I love brew.sh 's Brewfiles on macOS, so I went ahead and made Aptfiles for managing apt packages on Debian! github.com/Caleb-T-Owen... Warning, despite being written in rust, it is still a utility I threw together in half an hour, and may destroy your system 😉

ARRrrrrrggggghhhhh bun.js requires processors to have AVX instructions available. There seems to be a pretty obvious build target, but compiling it would require downloading half a million dependencies that I'm not too keen on having on my computer

Got myself an old thinkpad x200, but there was a "supervisor password" set. Good thing a guide from over 13 years ago has my back! Just short out three pins on an eeprom chip and you're off to the races web.archive.org/web/20220424...

Using a laptop and an electric blanket feels a little cruel, but I'm warm and comfy, so it's going to have to suffer. I can't tell if propping it up on a cushion helps, or if it just plugs more of the air vents.

I'm an accidental expert at security. I left the SSH key for my little miniPC in my apartment in Berlin, and despite having two different tunnelling tools installed, there is no way to just blast my way in without it.

I'm so close to writing a tool that can analyse a cooking website and extract the relevant recipe, and get rid of any and all grandparent stories. Alternatively, if a website is trying that hard to boost its SEO, do the recipes actually stand up for themselves?
