- If you are a #jj user, I encourage you to set `git.write-change-id-header` to true with this release! github.com/jj-vcs/jj/di...
- Going to be in Utrecht week after next! 🦀
- I'm convinced being introduced to "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33" was an act of life sabotage by a friend of mine. This game is going places. Wow. Strong recommendation.

- I'd enjoy having any conversation about startups/technology that doesn't involve being asked about how I'm using AI

- Researching new laptops on your old laptop feels dirty
- Reposted by bwbi just landed a thing i’ve been working on for the past ~8 months or so: github.com/rust-lang/ru...
- I quit my job on Monday! I'm very excited by what comes next.
- Our upcoming NYC elections might be unhinged, but I'm glad we've got RCV.
- Bragging about being good at AI prompting is no different than bragging about being good at Google queries in the 2000s. A temporarily useful skill that is a deep overfit for the future.
- github.com/benbrittain/... Beneath the name is the fact it's got some rudimentary buck2 based js/yarn/npm/rust interop.
- Thanks to some truly unhinged yak shaving, I've got a mostly functional yarn/node buck2 toolchain
- I've learned a lot about node_module resolution today, somehow wrote no JavaScript 🙂

- Found myself on an Emirates flight after American Airlines cancelled my flight the day of. That was the most pleasant flight I've ever taken and I'm not dreading the next 12 hour leg after this layover. American really messed up here.
- Off to Delhi for the week! 🇮🇳
- I'm writing HTML/CSS without JavaScript and it's... pleasant?
- Reposted by bwbI got Linux running in a PDF file using a RISC-V emulator. PDFs support Javascript, so Emscripten is used to compile the TinyEMU emulator to asm.js, which runs in the PDF. It boots in about 30 seconds and emulates a riscv32 buildroot system. linux.doompdf.dev/linux.pdf github.com/ading2210/li...
- I'm frustrated by Meta's open source interactions less often than I am impressed by buck2. It really is the nicest build system I've worked with.

- When reviewing resumes, do you actually take the time to look at their code portfolio that they link too (usually on GitHub)? If they link to one and nothing is on it, do you consider that a bit of a red flag?
- Whenever I give chatGPT a try, it just straight up hallucinates the answer. The experience I'm having with these tools is not what I'm seeing on the broader Internet. Unless it is, which is more worrisome.
