Wow, congrats to Kemi & Charlotte on their win. They won, right?

They actually did make a film with both of them in β€” and, incredibly, they're giving it away for free: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dhJ...

No. Probably helps that Bluesky folks use Slack themselves.

When I added Bsky unfurls in 2024 HLS wasn't supported in Chromium. Now it is! This was 40 lines of code, not including tests.

Nice of them to make up new sports for us to be good at. We're not so great at any of the ones we invented.

Interesting. It is also possible the AI-authored watcher code I’m now using is better than my human-authored code (with VS Code watcher) I was using previously.

Anecdata but I switched my own static analysis tool to use Watchman (instead of VS Code LS watcher), and have had radically fewer stale cache issues since.

But imagine how great it will feel to hit 50,000 followers?! Just close your eyes and visualise that number ticking over. Suddenly your sacrifice doesn’t feel so bad does it.

Yes but equally I am sad that lots of talented funny people who I follow have stopped entertaining me for free on a website that brings them very little in return

There's no real way to avoid it, but you can mitigate some of the changes in Settings.

In the UK sports gambling has existed since the 60s, but you had to visit a race track or your local high-street bookie to do it. Gambling has always been a problem, but now it's just a tap away.

It’s because they all used Twitter and a lot of his emails were Twitter β€œwhat you missed” summaries

For a popular OSS project, a Rust rewrite is a 7x speedup and a 2x reduction in the number of people who can contribute meaningfully to it. Normally a good compromise!

As a software engineer, β€œbroke something” is by far the most likely scenario. Someone in Singapore is tearing their hair out right now

This is also a thing they do when a playoff game is on a different channel
