I couldn't help myself. I've made some more funky web buttons to adorn websites with!

They're such fun to put together, and the size constraint presents a lovely challenge. If anyone has any requests, I'd be open to hearing them.

cimd-service.fly.dev — you don't need the weird loop back thing

one account wherever you go ☺️

your handle isn’t just for one app anymore !

we took @hello.pckt.cafe for a walk across the atmosphere

How it works:

- Each app version runs as a separate, immutable K8s Deployment
- ICC detects new versions via label-based discovery
- A __plt_dpl cookie pins users to their deployment version
- Old versions drain gracefully, then get cleaned up automatically

I haven't checked, does jj have a similar feature? Or mercurial?

So git pilled we forget there are others.

Today @ghost.org crossed $10M ARR, as a bootstrapped non-profit foundation building open source software.

Indie publisher revenue earned with Ghost now ~$130M, and accelerating.

Is this a spot the difference game? 😅

If you don't put the worktrees where'd you'd put the clones it becomes weird, agree. Branches seem to fight.

Netlify is sponsoring npmx It’s more important than ever that companies come together across competitive boundaries to sponsor and support the open ecosystem that lifts all boats.

Netlify is sponsoring npmx.dev, a fast, modern browser for the npm registry.

Netlify’s take: as AI expands who can build software, we have to keep investing in the open source infrastructure that makes the ecosystem work.

I really enjoyed this wide-ranging conversation with @ryanlpeterman.bsky.social, in which we talked about my biggest regrets (and hoo-boy there's an easy one!) -- and why @oxide.computer is not active on the bird site

Wow below 99; that's insane.

Not even two nines.

i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript)

you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS

I imagine the hardest part of this project was having to kill God so that you'd be unhampered by divine intervention stopping you from bringing this affront to the natural order to fruition.

Or blood hats it can feel like since their activity causes disproportionate pain.

Creating Query Abstractions Building reusable abstractions on top of libraries that rely on type inference can be deceptively difficult, which is why we need better ways to build those abstractions ...

📚 Creating thin abstractions is easy, until you’re trying to build them on top of functions that heavily rely on generics. Then it can quickly turn into a nightmare.

I wrote about the tradeoffs of wrapping useQuery and why type inference makes this trickier than it looks.

cc @danabra.mov did you know about this proof visualizer?

Well anthropic/oai/genma/et. al. certainly haven't, didn't, and don't.

ugh

DO gets it. A window for major improvements, but no downtime. But if some does happen, I'm informed. I'll be chill.

Less tickets, less frustration, higher quality engineering.

For You will be down for ~1-2 hours as I replace the system drive.

The Kingston NV2 drive has been freezing up the computer - often for a minute at a time and sometimes indefinitely until a manual restart.

I'm replacing it with a Samsung 990 Pro, which should be more stable.

oooooh. composition happens in the api.

wow.

you're doing it again.

What is OAuth? Wherein I [try to] answer a seemingly straightforward question: "WTF is OAuth, anyhow?"

Over on dead-Twitter, @geoffreylitt.com asked the following question last week:

"I desperately need a Matt Levine style explanation of how OAuth works. What is the historical cascade of requirements that got us to this place?"

Here's my attempt at an answer: leaflet.pub/p/did:plc:3v...

I really like maintenance windows during off hours, but I'd like for that to not be assumed to be downtime. But if it goes down during that time, is ok.

I think I'm just pissed b/c workday has these right when we are doing perf reviews 🙃

They don't even have scale with their tenant model imo.

I will always be able to get passwords/money because those teams care enough to make it work reliably with enough 9s of availability and bulwarks I'll actually use their product.

And I don't see a meaningful difference between local first or cloud apps. Local first tends to get this more right because less moving parts, but wallets and lastpass/1pass still have cloud functions and could have pieces go down - but they built for that.
