I might probably regret this later, but I wrote a tool to automatically publish my availability to my website. Here's my blog post about it and how LLMs influenced the way I built it: galdin.dev/posts/the-st...

Just watching John Lennon singing, "Imagine no possessions" as he sits at his white grand piano, in his massive mansion, overlooking his ginormous estate. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.

Book bans get headlines, but the bigger threat to books is hiding in plain sight: A handful of companies control how ebooks reach readers, and they can cut off access with a click. New from @mariabustillos.com in @columjournreview.bsky.social ⤵️

So here in France we have a 5G-enabled electricity meter called Linky, which naturally here in the land where people who live in heaven think they live in hell there were all kinds of protests — Linky gives you cancer, makes your kids autistic, kills your dog, sets your house on fire, and so on.

@andypavlo.bsky.social on HN sums it up well OLAP vs. OLTP isn't right vs. wrong, they're designed for different things. Have a version of this on a slide when explaining Crunchy Data Warehouse and how it's for very different purposes than stock Postgres.

I'd say it depends on the context? If I asked if you've read xyz and you say yes, I don't really care if you actually read the book or listened to the audiobook. It's the same thing to me. BUT, if you say you love to read, I'm going to take it literally unless you clarify!

I like to think of us—developers and architects—as professionals. While we don’t have formal certification processes like doctors in hospitals, that’s probably because our field evolves so quickly that no one has managed to compile a static list of requirements for all developers. (cont'd)

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Bluesky, is in fact, Bluesky/ATProto, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Bluesky on ATProto. Bluesky is not a protocol unto itself, but rather another AppView built on top of a fully functioning Authenticated Tranfer network

Animal Farm was published on this day in 1945. Everything Orwell warned us about is now referred to as Orwellian, in an irony that can only be described as Kafkaesque.

fun fact in baking, you can almost always replace a square pan of a given size with a circle pan an inch bigger, or a circle pan with a square pan an inch smaller (so a 9-inch square and 10-inch circle pan are equivalent). that's because π((x+1)/2)² approximates x² around the 5-10 inch range.

The plot thickens! 1878 Thomas Edison reports an insect in his 📞 apparatus - is this the 1st real "bug"? 👇"bug" was already a "common term for any sort of engineering error or anomaly" before Grace Hopper's moth (which might not even have been her moth). ℹ️: lunduke.substack.com/p/the-story-...
