The fact that most objects in JavaScript have .length to report the collection size, yet Set and Map have .size is absurd. Please add .length as an alias for .size on Set and Map!!

I think that companies that automatically subscribe you to a mailinglist after you purchase something from their online store for the first time should be fined, heavily.

To me, AI is used most effectively when you talk about what you should do and why, not to have it just do it for you. In fact, I think it may be better than talking to a human a lot of times because you can be really, really annoying with follow-up questions, and it doesn't degrade the conversation.

AI is proving to be exceptional at educating me about how to eat better, especially as a vegan. I can quickly figure out what to add and what to omit. I've never come anywhere close to tuning my diet so informatively.

I don't understand why videos on Amazon are so memory intensive and usually refuse to play. You would think for a company that has like a bazillion dollars they would be able to make a video player that isn't absolutely terrible.

Cornell attackmen (Pannell, Teat, Kirst) hold all but 1 attack record in the PLL. Single season goals/assists/points and career assists/points. The only record missing is career goals, but keep an eye on # 15. cc: @danarestia.bsky.social

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it may ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

@danarestia.bsky.social I think Brian Kelly is getting stiffed for now being considered a rookie. What's a rookie? If you have never played a game in the league, the year you start playing (your pro debut) is your rookie season? The reason doesn't matter. No?

@worldlacrosse.sport I have a suggestion that would make these events more effective. Take a page from pro golf and form an international team (non-USA, non-Canada). That way, results aren't so lopsided and players from developing programs have a chance to play with other high-level talent.

Do you know in the US, we have no medical records from when we were adolescents? That is so fucked up. (If you think we do, I challenge you to find them...you won't).

Can someone please explain to me how you can have an automated release if the package registry requires 2FA? How does a computer running remotely look at a phone on your desk and input the code displayed on the screen. Are we just doing away with automated releases? Is that what this is?

@chrisrosie22.bsky.social I have to admit, the WLL is very watchable when the league just lets them play, especially not enforcing that stupid illegal defense rule. The all-star game was particularly exciting. I still would like to see proper head & hand protection, but perhaps it will be organic.

@danarestia.bsky.social I just listened to your return episode. First, really glad to have you back on the pod (with some great reporting in the interim). You are a bright spot of lacrosse analysis. No other way to put it.

Dan Allen @mojavelinux.com · 02/07/2026

@danarestia.bsky.social I really don't like the rule that you can call a timeout from the defensive end. I think it spoils the spirit of the ride. You should have to clear first.

I cannot understand why they ever lift the fire ban here in Colorado. As soon as they do, we have wildfires all over the place (and even when they don't). You just can't burn shit here. It's too risky. Not unless we have a monsoon for a month straight (which we never do).

Tidal announces they will be labeling and demonetizing all AI-generated music, and I'm once again so glad I switched from Spotify. No streaming app is perfect (and I do buy a LOT of music too) but this is so much better than an AI swamp.

POLICY UPDATE

Our stance on Al-generated music

Hi Becca!

Al music generation tools are changing how music is created and distributed. As this
technology evolves, Tidal is introducing platform standards to protect artists, their
craft, and inform listeners.

Here are the highlights of our new Al Policy:

. Tidal will identify and tag Al-generated music in our app. Listeners will see an
"Al" badge next to music we detect as wholly Al-generated.

. Tidal will not tolerate Al-generated music that impersonates an artist or group,
or that facilitates fraudulent activity. We're implementing automatic tools to
remove these releases immediately and on an ongoing basis.

. Tidal will not allow music that is 100% Al-generated to be monetized. No
royalties will go to such releases, nor will Al-generated uploads be eligible for
direct-to-fan sales.

. We will expand these policies to music that is substantially Al-generated when
Al detection technology is sufficiently reliable to do so.

I've been waiting for Tidal to figure out its position on AI-generated music. It finally has, and it's pretty good: -AI labeling -No using AI to impersonate real artists -AI music won't be monetized support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/art...

I don't understand why all progressives aren't vegans. Are you only progressive for humans? How do you reconcile that? Please someone explain this to me. Perhaps progressive just isn't the right label for my views, but rather something more encompassing.

@riviantrackr.com My one suggestion would be to add an option to hide the places in the driver map view. I think it's distracting with all those place names in there and makes the street names harder to see.

We live in society now in which being a terrible person (by that I mean being selfish, greedy, and nasty to others), is being rewarded. It's revolting. Where have all the lessons gone that we learned growing up? Do they matter anymore? (I, for one, think they do).

Pasting a huge AI generated explanation to a problem in an issue or pull-request is nothing but RUDE. Don't do it. You look stupid and the receivers of that feel insulted. We are humans. We communicate like humans. Fine, use the tools you like, but don't insult us.

I appreciate having Rivian Assistant as a replacement for Alexa. I like where it's going. But I think Rivian analysts are being highly illusive about it. It's passable, but by no means incredible. It's like asking a toddler to press buttons on the UI for you. It barely gets the job done, and slowly.
