You know that feeling when you wake up and think "I want my TV to do more than take a display cable in and show images?" No? Yeah, me neither.

Finished Nighthawks. It’s gonna be a weekend of post series depression. What an excellent game.

Vertical tabs + tab groups 🫡 Bookmarks are for things that I *should* look at again, but won't. Tab groups are for things that I *should* get through and be done with, but won't.

We should not have to choose between fancy buttons and sensible button behavior. We deserve both!

Demonschool is great, you should go play it. Optionally, you could read my blog post about it. This was probably the hardest post I have written so far. thiem.xyz/demonschool

Yes, I have been staring at an staring at an unedited first draft for 5 hours. No, I did not get any editing done. Anyway, how is your day going?

It just seems sort of sad. Also, less opportunities to flex the superiority of Rust 🦀

I assume we will still get new capabilities. Things that browsers couldn't do before irrespective of how much code you wrote. But who is going to ask map(), filter(), find(), and friends when an LLM is just as happy to write for loops?

Jonas @thiem.xyz · 24/09/2026
An LLM will never complain about something being awkward in a language or strangely absent from the standard library. The voices asking for additional development in those areas will likely be fewer.

Jonas @thiem.xyz · 24/09/2026
It also gave me a sort of weird sadness. This sort of thing — nerding out about programming languages — is like going to become much less prevalent as AI coding reduces the amount of code we read. It worries me that we might see a slowdown in language development.

Discovered String.prototype.blink() and that led me to read a book from 1995 about JavaScript 1.1 in Netscape. That's older than I am and leafing through it was super fun. Even found a page referenced in that book that is still in the state it was in back in 1995. thiem.xyz/string-proto...

Why is there a String.prototype.blink()? And other questions from 30 years of JavaScript.

Is the game making a joke? Is it a bug? I am the type of person that developers hate. I think the context should make it clear, but my neurons are not firing properly. Loving Nighthawks though. What a game.

That doesn’t narrow it down as much as the notification seems to think.

Terminator: Resistance is a super fun AA shooter that we don’t get enough of anymore. People say good things about RoboCop and that will probably be my next pick up.

Which is not to say that the gameplay was groundbreaking or anything. Perhaps its the opposite with the barely-there narrative being more memorable than the gameplay.

It does not support emojis as identifiers which is a mistake. We have the technology and we should use it to do quirky in the world.

Discontinuing the PlayStation 3 store has ramifications in accessibility of games, that shutting down Steam wouldn't have.
000
Jonas @thiem.xyz · 02/07/2026
Even with Steam dominating and physical media having been dead on PC for a long time. The openness of the platform itself allows things to be less dire than an PlayStation ecosystem without physical media.

Hope for the next version the migration to 16 bit version numbers goes smoothly.

I was dunking, perhaps pointlessly, on Anthropic. But I also think that there is a good chance that an "normal" model release might not draw the same ire.

Jonas @thiem.xyz · 17/06/2026
Oh, for sure. Learning about jailbreaks, or in this case "fix this code" dual-use, with the release of Fable is a bad look for the government. I am just saying that OpenAI has the chance to not fearmonger before a release and might get away with a new model then.

They could try not screaming "this is incredibly dangerous" from the rooftops. I heard that not instilling fear of your product in people helps if you want people to not fear your product.

Is it AI psychosis if I see the numbers Ed Zitron released and think "oh, that’s not as bad as I thought?"

Just think how many fewer bugs will be in the final product. What’s surprising is that no one made that move earlier.

Not sure that a delayed Siri AI is a huge loss for Europe. Maybe a weaker than usual defense from Apple shows that they feel the same.
000
Jonas @thiem.xyz · 15/06/2026
I have been following Apples dislike for the EU‘s DMA for a while now. Their communication is interesting. Very … aggressive? Not how companies usually express disdain. The arguments around why Siri AI needs to be delayed in the EU felt sloppier than most. straynotes.xyz/blog/siri-ai...

Siri AI: safe for me, dangerous for thee
Apple says EU rules make Siri AI too dangerous to launch. Its proposed security solution suggests a less flattering explanation.

Whenever I write anything I get hit by this wave of uncertainty. Like no matter how much time I spend thinking, researching, and writing could ever make me even somewhat certain that what I created was correct and good enough. Happening on this post right now. Love that for me.

Its hard to believe that its all just Sarah Bonds fault. But even if it is, somehow, magically, it wasn't put in place because Bond woke up one day and decided that the whole console thing was overrated anyway.
