Since folding a phone means rotating one side to meet the other through 180° of rotation, if we assume they use radians, it can only be called… Apple Pi See? See? This is why I shouldn’t be in marketing.

Heads up for 1Password-leavers. The CSV export is EXTREMELY LOSSY. Good news is that the other export option —the native “1pux”—is just a zip file with (among other things like file attachments) a big ol’ JSON file with your entire vault. I can’t *confirm* it’s not lossy, but I bet it’s not.

Wait. Are passkeys just basically HTTPS *client* certificates, but at the application layer instead of transport?

Went to the Brewers game tonight, where Jacob Misiorowski just absolutely dominated. But the Phillies fielded Gabriel Rincones Jr. for his MLB debut, and I wish I could offer my congrats on making the Bigs and condolences on running into the Miz buzz saw. But Musk killed Twitter, so I don’t […]

Apropos of nothing, I’d like to take a moment of your time and share this framed visualization I have in my office. I like it, because it’s an absolute triumph in chart design, and it reminds me that screenshots of gray-backgrounded Excel scatter plots just […] [Original post on ruby.social]

Beautiful visualization of a chart title “Losses of the French Army in the Russian Campaign 1812-1813, by Charles Joseph Minard”

It shows the French army as a line approaching Moscow then retreating, with its width representing the army’s size.

The entire visualization is repeated: the original shows it in the original French, and below it is the English translation.

May we take one step closer to The Federation in 2026, and one step further from The Empire.

I love Soleil, the Best in Show of the dog pageant thing or whatever today. She’s so obviously a Good Girl. But I doubt she loves me back. It’s a perrasocial relationship.

How did the entire sci-fi genre miss the career of Prompt Engineer? Like, we got close with “I always say ‘please” and ‘thank you’ just in case“ and unmatched coding geniuses… but I’ve never read anything to the tune of “I’ve mastered the art of using plain language to describe […]

I couldn’t believe it when I saw so many startups chasing the Torment Nexus. That is, as we know from the source material, NOT what we should be creating. So, what I’m proposing is the opposite of this madness: the Torment Diaspora. In this VC application essay, I will…

Love how all of these AI on Google Cloud commercials about “baseball batters who tap home plate are X% more likely to get hits” or “players who hop over the foul line are Y% better at $THING.” Yes. Good job marketing team. You are selling “correlation implies causation.” You know who your ads […]

Needed a document store to persist some paginated JSON for a simple data analysis task. Installing (and setting up and using) postgres or mongo locally seemed overkill, so I used Ruby’s PStore. Worked great!

One of the greatest things to come out of Elm—and there were many—was the comma alignment: foo = [ “first” , “second” , “third” ] Indisputably S-Tier. Don’t @ me

Probably the biggest regret of my iOS career is leaving behind the ruby community, especially the part where I don’t have a business reason to attend the last RailsConf and see all my #rubyfriends. 😢
