writing code is dead, long live reading tests, er, learning formal verification then formalizing all the things

If you loved programming and feel like AI is taking it away from you: the craft isn't disappearing. It's finally beginning. For decades, most of what we called programming was glue. Wiring libraries together, patching edge cases, testing a handful of inputs and hoping the rest behave.

Which approach is better, React or Solid? That was a rhetorical question. I think Lean can reconcile both 🙃. Can't wait for WASM to have access to DOM. gist.github.com/aleclarson/0...

Increasingly convinced that specs are now the source and that code is an artifact akin to a lockfile.

It’s still hard to grasp that there aren’t 4 GOP Reps (who will otherwise be forgotten forever after retiring & likely defeated next year anyway) aren’t interested in going down in history as all-time 🇺🇸 heroes by caucusing with the Dems & giving them the majority to impeach Trump & save the Republic

The point of work is to make people suffer for money. Until AI feels pain, it will not replace humans. When robots and artificial intelligence can do everything humans can, it will still make sense to pay people to pay attention to you. For example, artists will pay people to consume their work.

"it's been a long time coming" this is a team effort from dozens of people over many years, and they all deserve huge credit still, a shoutout to @sebmarkbage.calyptus.eu who did much of the initial design on 7 (!) of these projects and convinced everyone else to work on them for a decade

Long Covid Advocacy @longcovidadvoc.com · 08/07/2025
🌌 A timely reminder from Prof Brian Cox The inability of the scientific & medical community to move on from the rehab model for #ME & #LongCovid stems from the simple issue that they don't want to be wrong. #paradigmshift
A black and white close-up shot of Professor Brian Cox, an astrophysicist, is shown with a quote from him. He is looking directly at the viewer with a slight, contemplative smile. His hands are clasped together just below his chin. The background is dark.
The quote, in white text against a dark purple background, reads: "Real scientists are delighted when they find out they are wrong. And to me, that is one of the greatest gifts that a scientific education can bring. There are too many people in this world who want to be right. And too few who just want to know."
Below the quote, also in white text, is his name and title: "- PROF. BRIAN COX, ASTROPHYSICIST". In the bottom left corner, there is a small logo for "LONG COVID ADVOCACY" which features an open hand symbol.

GetPocket (a read-it-later app) is closing, and I'm wondering whether we need such an app at all. Do we need to remove UI noise and preserve only the text and images? While I believe that "ornament is a crime", this is something else. UI is a face, and I don't want to live in a faceless world.

In any authoritarian regime, there are people who make a livelihood by rationalizing the actions of the leadership, making them palatable to a general audience by offering analogies with reasonable theoretical statements. Their profesisonal title is usually something like "chief propagandist"

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.
