another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

A friend sent me this... it's good! My main feedback is that you use the term "commit" often when "change" would be more correct from a jj terminology standpoint. Any edit you make alters the underlying git commit but the jj change ID remains the same. jj evolog can help illustrate this.

I work for Fastly and can say that our customers use it a lot. We use it ourselves to cache and purge portions of our APIs when some subset of data is updated.

hell yeah I want to “experience” that “optimal functionality”. I can’t even conceive of how “optimal” it must truly be.

I have rewritten my MBTA tracker, again. This is the fifth version since they first released real-time data back in 2009. I vibe-coded this one with the GitHub Copilot agent, rewriting it in modern JS without Vue.js or any other framework. www.joeshaw.org/mbta-bus/

Where's the bus? (or the subway, or the commuter rail, or the ferry)

Also, Splunk... I can make UTC my default time zone, why can I not make 24h time my default time display? Why do I have to put en-gb into the URL path to do that.

Splunk... why do you make me put seconds and milliseconds in to time ranges. If I omit them, I mean zero. Grafana has figured this out.

I was really disappointed that DtS didn't go into any depth as to why he was passed over for the seat.

Thank you! Unfortunately I hit another block: Fastly Object Storage doesn't support STREAMING-UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD-TRAILER yet.

For me, I can write code to music (though i don’t often these days) but I am completely unable to write prose with it.

my cursed compromise is that i don’t wrap lines but every sentence goes on its own line. it keeps lines relatively short and makes diffs nice and clean.

i’ve been using jj lately and wanted its info in my prompt instead of git, so i threw together this zsh vcs_info integration for it. github.com/joeshaw/jj-z...

ghostty.org/docs/help/te... I gave feedback that that page would be improved by adding some context as to why a new terminfo is necessary and what you lose by falling back to xterm-256color, which is what I’m inclined to do in my ssh config.

Terminfo - Help

Terminfo is used to tell software about the terminal's capabilities. Ghostty ships with its own terminfo entry to advertise its features.

@joshuadavey.com @jonallured.com you know, i’ve listened to a lot of nonsense on your podcast over the years, but i’ve never heard anything so outrageous as your attack on German chocolate cake. yes, the name is confusing, but it is a dessert unlike any other. i respect that some folks dislike cocon

to expound a bit, most things like files do have finalizers that will clean things up at GC, but it’s best practice to explicitly release resources like this when you don’t need em anymore. missing enum is my #1 wishlist item for the language, especially after all the rust i’ve been writing.

defer mostly works fine for the former, as long as you remember to use it. the latter is very annoying.

One issue I think is that it makes drive-by harassment easier, and could have a chilling effect on speech. If I don’t know you but you engage with my post and I see you’ve been labeled, I can maybe use that info to harass or demean you in a specifically hurtful way.

Tidelift is a company founded by a bunch of open source veterans that essentially does this. they help the maintainers set up to get paid, and they help the companies pay them.

your first skeet is never good, so it’s best to just get it out of the way
