An image of a vintage printed document with typewriter-style text reading "A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION". Stamped diagonally across the middle of the page in bold, red ink is the phrase "DECISION MODELS".

I had the flip 3 and thought the size and functionality of the outer screen was just enough. It was a smart watch on the outside and a phone on the inside allowing me to see and choose to ignore notifications rather than engaging with the full device

In Chrome go to `chrome://flags/#devtools-project-settings` and disable `DevTools Project Settings`. This will make Chrome stop accessing `/.well-known` paths and pollute your console output 😌

Developer anxiety is actually a quality control mechanism. It makes us check edge cases and side effects. LLMs aren't dangerous because they're wrong, but because they're fearless. They write terrifying code with zero hesitation. Beware of what you approve. You are the only guardrail left.

IPv6 just turned 30 and still hasn’t taken over the world, but don't call it a failure
The world has passed it by in many ways, yet it remains relevant Feature  In the early 1990s, internetworking wonks realized the world was not many years away from running out of Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses, the numbers needed to identify any device connected to the public internet. Noting booming interest in the internet, the internet community went looking for ways to avoid an IP address shortage that many feared would harm technology adoption and therefore the global economy.…

I’m going to be the old man (41) who talks about understanding the code the AI generates and being able to write it by hand. The kids will say I’m out of date, and I’ll never be sure they’re wrong. The indignity will never be lost on me that I’m talking about hand-writing god damn Javascript.

Another tip on closing <dialog>s involves the new `closedby` attribute. Putting `closedby="any"` on a <dialog> adds light-dismiss functionality to the dialog, meaning users can close the dialog with the Esc keyboard shortcut. #StylishHTML

You know what I really like about the current trend of using LLMs to build software? We suddenly write down code design decisions, document architectural choices, and in general write more specs. Why? Because LLMs need clear context to generate useful code. This is a big win!

I never, EVER accept LLM output without making it run code to verify what it did (tests, something more manual, whatever). Neither you nor your LLM can run code in their head. Do not trust, always verify.
