I know we're all tired of hearing about the Clancy case - but all I have to say on it is that this dude being a dick is so representative of where we've degenerated to in society... in more ways than one. Textbook cut off his nose to spite his face. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

can you ask them why their app is slow, hard to navigate, locks basic features behind enterprise-only custom sales, and makes opening extra windows hard? I hate Jira - but even Jira is better than this.

"death-to-issues because prompts" is the dumbest shit I've heard this year in the AI space. What linear.app got wrong in their new direction is that agentic is fundamentally about handoff linear.app/next If you cant curate the tasks, timeline and priorities no AI integration is ever going to work.

and yet their app is total dogshit

Chris Thoburn @runspired.com · 10/09/2026

I didn't like my first experience trying to use Linear and I'm not liking my second experience either. Linear clearly understands project management about as well as Coda (I'm sorry "SuperHuman") understands knowledge management - which is to say not-at-all.

Chris Thoburn @runspired.com · 10/09/2026

Next linear.app question: the navigation is significantly worse than JIRA ... which is obviously very hard to do. And unlike JIRA, it doesn't seem to be configurable at all. What settings have I missed?

000

Chris Thoburn @runspired.com · 09/09/2026

Like its already crazy that they bury initiatives behind a setting you have to activate, but beyond that: it feels like there's no decent way to organize work without also having access to sub-initiatives...

Fans of linear.app, is everyone paying for Enterprise just to get access to basic organizational primitives?

(Also that in 20 hours I could go from “I haven’t evaluated oxlint in well over a year” to “I’m mostly done converting a massive project” is both a testament to AI and a testament to oxlint .. great work!)

More has been ported than when I last looked! Analysis turned up that the compat matrix was like 67 rules aligned, another 42 are nearly aligned, 80 have no path and like 60 could be run via js plugin. The 80 that have no path is due to not yet supporting language server plugins - I’m converting

Given eslint doesn’t look like it’ll be able to support TS7 for years, what are folks planning to use in the meantime? Subset of pseudo-type-aware lints from oxlint or biome?

Kuminga is not good and NBA teams know this, which is how he falls all the way down to 6M/yr. I’ll be unsurprised if he falls out of the league in a few years. But he’s also better than 6M, and he really needs to fire his agent if he wants a real shot at a decent contract.

I was a skeptic until I wasn’t. I was annoyed at the hype folks too before the value showed up. All I’m gonna say is don’t be a religious zealot (either direction) - it’s far more good than bad.

One of the reasons I’m convinced the earth is dying faster than any of us care to admit - I spend a lot of time in dirt. I can’t remember the last time I saw a worm. As a kid all I had to do was dig a quarter inch or pick up some leaves and the worms were everywhere.

Separately: the rings of power is a JJ Abram’s level abuse of fandom. Absolute unwatchable dogshit. If you thought season 1 was bad - I convinced myself to watch season 2 finally. An all time life mistake.

I’ve just finished attempting to use tsdown/rolldown-plugin-dts. They still aren’t close to working well enough - unplugin-isolated-decl is still the only tool that correctly compiles types - it just doesn’t roll them up 😭

Yes - all of the sensors around me for purple air are clearly reporting inside data as outside data and/or worse

000

Chris Thoburn @runspired.com · 05/08/2026

I’m fairly sure the bad data is coming from the purple air sensors

Now it’s not only way off base - but predicting substantial rain 🤣 There is exactly zero chance of rain in the foreseeable future for this region.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

They don’t. The sixers have been a boring team forever because it’s the same playbook every year: spend a ton of money to assemble the best cast from who was available in the off season - have zero cohesion - get bounced in the 1st or 2nd round. May as well be named the clippers.

(Eg average of my station and some external incorrect data source)

010

Chris Thoburn @runspired.com · 18/07/2026

My bet is *it is* averaged, but their integration is not converting metric to Fahrenheit for the external sensors leading to an incorrect average, or the externals are just wrong.

100

Chris Thoburn @runspired.com · 18/07/2026

I don’t think so. Much too far off for that. I’ve noticed that for my general area all of the public ones are reading too low - they list 6 inputs for the area, but you can only see 3, the other 3 are apparently purple air stations.

110

Chris Thoburn @runspired.com · 18/07/2026

fairly clear they are making some sort of adjustment to the data before making it public - but that adjustment is wildly off base.

Chris Thoburn @runspired.com · 18/07/2026

Top is my outdoor monitor (internal data). Bottom is same time public data. (Middle is my indoor sensor if your curious)

Chris Thoburn @runspired.com · 18/07/2026

I tried submitting a support ticket and got no response. But like - the actual data is right but the public data is crazy off. Here’s a few recent screenshots to show what I mean.

Chris Thoburn @runspired.com · 18/07/2026

Anyone else have an outdoor weather station from IQAir/AirVisual? I've been noticing the publicaly reported data from mine is wildly different from the internally reported data (and the internally reported data matches reality). Often it showing >20F lower than reality.

I watched all those games. I saw the same thing the Nicks did - which they fully exploited from then on and embarrassed him properly. He only looks good when he’s selfish, and that hurts the team more than it helps. He also can’t stay healthy. Then there’s the off court drama issues.

110

Chris Thoburn @runspired.com · 11/07/2026

Convoluted paths they don’t control. And you’re saying the same thing. Kuminga is delusional about his talent, that delusion shows up on and off court.

000

Chris Thoburn @runspired.com · 10/07/2026

Lakers are the only team that want Kuminga and don't even have a path to offer him 10M, which is at least twice what he's worth (if you're even willing to take the chance on him). Meanwhile Kuminga wants 25M. That right there is why he's never been close to being a starter let alone a star.
