@waferbaby.com hi again

Screenshot from the iOS weather app showing rain and 60% on Saturday.

A screenshot of the weather app on iOS showing there will be a 60% chance of light rain at 6am.

This happens all the time and I find it so unhelpful. It looks like tomorrow will be rainy. 60% and a rain symbol. Except when I look at the precipitation details, there’s light rain at 6am.

Does this annoy anyone else, or just me?

I didn't know how to explain in a single Bluesky post so I spent a month writing a blog post.

Adopting Jujutsu I’ve always loved the safety net that a VCS like Git provides, but I’ve never loved git’s user interface/experience, nor the mental model that I’ve tried to hold in my head while I’m using it. Jujutsu...

I've been trying to use Jujutsu lately and I wanted to write about how I transitioned from my Git workflow. I hope you find it useful!

Ooh, I’m intrigued. Please tell me more when you get set up.

"the menswear guy isn't fair and balanced." do you even hear yourself?

"fork lady is eroding public confidence."

"ladder baby is undermining the credibility of the field."

"lemon raccoon is acting without transparency or accountability."

that's what you sound like.

Those of you who use RSS/Feed readers. What do you use? What would you recommend?

Hey, #ruby folks! I've been one of the #RubyGems maintainers for the last decade.

Ruby Central has forcefully taken control of the RubyGems organization on GitHub, the `rubygems-update` and `bundler` gems on rubygems[.]org, and more.

It does seem like Sultana has been messed about by Corbyn and the others, but I don’t think this was a good way to deal with it.

I almost signed up until alarm bells started ringing wondering if it was an actual phishing attempt.

Whether it was well intentioned or not, I’m just annoyed and embarrassed for this new party.

Breaking: Jeremy Corbyn says Your Party membership email was ‘unauthorised’ Sultana said 20,000 people had joined Your Party as members, but Corbyn says the membership email should be ignored as it was unauthorised

This whole farce with the “Your Party” membership email has left a really bad taste in my mouth.

I like Sultana but the email, which used a similar but different URL to the official “Your Party” website for memberships, seems borderline phishing.

Lando saying "the baby's name is Grogu, baby" is on repeat in my head.

To provide a better version control experience. It can act as an alternative interface for git, but in the longer term I believe the goal is to be a complete alternative to git.

I just wanted to rebase the *current* revision. "d0421057deaf" is a completely unrelated revision…

I'm confused.

The last few days I've been trying to get my head around #jj-vcs.

I feel like I don't understand some fundamental things.

Like, after I do a merge of a PR, I do "jj git fetch", and then on an existing revision I do "jj rebase -d main", and get "Error: Commit d0421057deaf is immutable" ...

I don’t even know how to describe the noise it made. It did sound quite emergencyish, I suppose.

Does anyone know where I might have read it?

I remember reading a fable/anecdote years ago about how when an engineer goes to a conference they say “that was a waste of time, I only learned one or two new things” whereas when a salesperson goes to a conference they say “that was great, I learned one or two new things”

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

Ugh, that’s so disappointing

I'll say it once and I'll say it again. If you think artists are just "naturally talented", you're deeply wrong. The only difference between you and us is that we kept trying when it didn't come out like we hoped.
You can always make art yourself. There's no bad time to start, you can start now.
