You’ll miss publishers when they’re gone
Ever since Piccalilli started to get traction, I’ve always seen CSS-Tricks, Smashing Magazine and A List Apart (among others) as peers. We all help each other behind the scenes and importantly, back each other. When CSS-Tricks was initially acquired by DigitalOcean, I was really happy for Chris. The work that he’d put into that publication…

Certain kinds of smart people tend to have a "sexy apocalypse" problem when it comes to thinking about risk. E.g. skynet turning everyone in paperclips, while bad, is also *kind of cool and fun* at the same time. Where the reality is that most actual disasters are both stupid and disappointing.

We're in the era of incompetence & cybercrimes headlined as "unprecedented model capabilities gone rogue." So OpenAI & Anthropic are trying to one up each other with such incompetence because the "press release as a service" performing media & clueless politicians parrot pre IPO CEO talking points.

We still suffer under this delusion that design, and I include all sufficiently novel interventions, is the work of lone geniuses or "individual contributors". Systems of any complexity require the sustained attention and interaction of several-many people to and with each other.

This summer, join the Foldie Fondo, our signature social ride experience. Sunday, July 19, 2026 Meet at the south side of George C. King (Skipping Stone) Bridge in East Village at 8:45 am. Wheels roll at 9 am. 60 kms, rolling at about 15 to 18 kms/h. All types of bikes and their riders welcome.
A row of colourful Brompton Bicycles in self-standing mode and in sunny conditions. Bromptons are partially folded in a grassy area, just outside a cafe situated in a park setting. Riders roll along a pathway through a wooded area, under a bright sun, in single-file formation.

Whenever an engineer says "It's not possible" always remember that what they actually mean is "I don't know how to build that" which sounds different, but means the same thing.

I think about this poem all the time
Hope Is Not a Bird, Emily, It's a Sewer Rat
by Caitlin Seida
Hope is not the thing with feathers
That comes home to roost
When you need it most.
Hope is an ugly thing
With teeth and claws and
Patchy fur that's seen some shit.
It's what thrives in the discards
And survives in the ugliest parts of our world, Able to find a way to go on When nothing else can even find a way in.
It's the gritty, nasty little carrier of such diseases as optimism, persistence, Perseverance and joy,
Transmissible as it drags its tail across your path and
bites you in the ass.
Hope is not some delicate, beautiful bird, Emily.
It's a lowly little sewer rat
That snorts pesticides like they were
Lines of coke and still
Shows up on time to work the next day
Looking no worse for wear.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a surfer in a wetsuit sits on a surfboard out in the water. The water looks serene and still. The surfer, looking bored, says, “come on… gimme one wave.” In the water behind the surfer, a few small bubbles rise to the surface. Panel 2: an enormous Lovecraftian sea monster explodes out of the ocean. Panel 3: viewed from below, the sea monster continues to ascend from the water, creating massive waves. Far beneath the monster, the shocked surfer is successfully riding a crashing wave, barely keeping balance in the rushing current.

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities
Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

If you haven't upgraded yet, Ruby 4.0's garbage collection is generally much faster than 3.4. This patch release fixes the one area there had previously been a notable regression (allocating/freeing Classes).

the CTrain free fare zone is one of the nicest things we have in Calgary. The numbers from the recent survey are pretty clear: people use it, they like it, and they want it to be expanded. City Hall should just listen to what people want.📣

If something is supposed to be a tool, you have to ask a tool for what. If everyone is talking about the experience of using the tool and not the outputs or outcomes, then it's a tool for self…soothing.

I just learned such a great word for our times. An epiphany is sudden true understanding. An *apophany* is a false understanding based on seeing a relationship in data or perception that doesn't actually exist. Pareidolia (seeing faces in things) is a subtype of apophenia.

It's not that difficult or expensive to understand people if you really want to understand them. Many organizations prefer to spend huge amounts of money to keep that confirmation bias high going.

The idea that every social problem needs a technical solution is so myopic. If you're worried about the smarts of the population, why not just fund public education? And if you're worried about Skynet, maybe try regulating the AI industries...
