So tired of saying it, but imagine Obama or Biden or Harris said any of this. We've normalized a malignant narcissist who fundamentally disrespects every aspect of his office.

What if Google Search Console comparison reports worked the way they should? That's why I built the GSC Compare % Change Chrome Extension. chromewebstore.google.com/detail/gsc-c... It shows % change for the comparison and matches day of week for year over year analyses. #seo #analytics #google

Super cool idea to be able to chat with the agent while looking at the document. Great way to keep the agent on the rails and focused while writing.

Why are HTML <==> Markdown libraries always one-way? Seems like they either render Markdown as HTML, or they convert HTML to Markdown, but they never do both.

New study of 15K URLs shows articles receiving Major Rewrites (30-100% of content) vastly outperform minor/moderate updates Interestingly, even "minor" rewrites, defined as 0-30% of content, still saw decay Is this a cutoff for "lastSignificantUpdate" per Google? republishai.com/content-opti...

Bluesky really started to hum for me when I got these settings dialed in.
A portion of the Bluesky settings panel (it's not real, though) that is titled Community Settings.

Two options are switched on: "be kind" and "gas up other users."

You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

there should be a thing that reads your package.json and charges you $5/month per dependency - you don’t /have/ to! you could set the price to $1 per employee! - and then holds the funds and sends it to the people who made the code you use to do business how is not doing this more sustainable

They say products need to be launched again, and again, and again. I built Broadcast back in October 2024 (hand coded). It's an email marketing platform, and it's matured quite a bit.

Today is the 20th anniversary of the time in college when my friend Jeff gave me some free shared web hosting, and I decided to build a music blog with something called "WordPress." It would have been on version 1.5 I believe, since this was a few weeks before WordPress 2.0 was released.

I'd buy a sub-$1,000 Apple Vision Pro but I probably wouldn't buy a Meta Quest at any price. Just cannot fathom trusting Meta with my fingerprints or a retina scan. The device model seems useful for remote office work type of setting. But not wearing it around the house w/ your family next to you.
