Windows and Edge can do that. It's somewhat useful and interesting. Not great for many many tabs

Agreed.

Also now I think on it more, since the stakes were so low and basically I lost nothing it's the same kinda feeling I have for a nice but dumb dog I've taken for a walk and then found chewing my shoe. Or, more on the nose, a junior dev blowing an afternoon of work refactoring in a very naive way.

This tracks. Canadians generally view each other with good intentions and in good faith. Good citizenship also strongly valued and a shared, even if mythical, high standard for kindness etc.

So basically it just churned away for 20 minutes then deleted all the work and then some. New branch, nothing but time lost but kinda hilarious. Next time we'll try to commit more regularly and maybe some no delete directive?

Scepticism for AI undiminshed you could say. Skill issue for sure.

I'm a novice when it comes to trying AI agents for coding. Wanted to see if a repo to monorepo refactor was something I could throw at it, get a PR going. Worked well initially. Added another refactor job to move to vite instead of parcel. Agent did the work but then... Deleted almost everything 😂

Just grinding at chess today! Finally won a match.

I blame Frank Miller to be honest. Decent comic, terrible movie. Disservice to the actual event and yeah ICE bros are not ancient Greek warriors in case anyone needed to be told

Finally updated my handle to my own domain!

Netlify doesn't make it easy. You need to add a redirect as any .folders get stripped out at build time.

Not a big deal but required some Googling.

Trying to catch the tiger by it's tail. Not a great strategy at the best of times.

Get your mind blown early this morning. This is a total banger thread, the kind of super smart, historical contextualizing that we all desperately need. Whew! Great follow too.

Wow! This is a great analysis! Dang! Literally threaded it all from 18th century to now so neatly. Thanks! 🤯👌

Ugh, so called professionalism means I need to replace yelling Frank Costanza with an actual picture of my face. What's the world coming to???

Also may be mid ice storm here in Montreal so getting the posts in while I can! You know where there's no ice storms? Barbados... Sigh

A 1944 map by geologist Harold Fisk charts a 40-mile stretch of the Mississippi River from Friars Point to Gunnison, Mississippi. Fisk used aerial photos and maps to estimate the past and then-present channels.

New grad students often adopt a stance of hypercriticism as a shortcut to seeming savvy.

When I was one, Nick Salvatore told us he didn't like "shit-on-the-book seminars" so we would instead spend our time talking about what *worked* in various texts to see what we could learn from other authors.

Hell yeah! Lol my last employer literally had me do the same. Clown stuff! So glad I'm not working with them anymore. Lines of code is a simple approach, useful sure but only to a simpleton.

Which is another way to say that you need managerial courage and leadership qualities to say no and the managers in question, specifically my last one, had none of the above. And yeah I'm salty about it, guy was a first class idiot and is running the organization into the ground.

To be fair, since we didn't have data you could argue I was unsupported in my claims. But given these were features that were to be added the burden was on the stakeholders to prove we needed em. Anyway, hours and days lost and careers diminished because of timidity and acquiescence of manager. 😓

Ding ding ding! This is so true. One of the most annoying parts of my old job was that we didn't really track any user data effectively and thus when I said "take it out, nobody will care" all I ever got was pushback. We spent months on features that data finally revealed were hardly ever used. 😵‍💫

I dunno, I used to think I need to finish every book I start. Not worrying about that anymore is liberating. There's so much to read that using your time to read whatever way works best makes most sense to me now. Correlation: "you gotta quit while you're ahead"

Carlyle Bay, Barbados. Sunset on a beach with people enjoying the view.

Barbados! What a place! Had the time of my life the last week or so. Very lucky to have had the privilege. 🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧

That was great! Good story too, really enjoyed the journey around Wulffleet!

This was so fun! I got down to 1300 okay. I understood a portion of 1200 and the last two got me. When I was in college one of my classes was translating Beowulf from Old English. I *loved* it and this was a bit reminiscent of doing that.

I could do this.

I'm sorry it took so long for this excellent joke to get a like and reply. 👌

Holy shit, really hit me. Damn man. Need to course correct.
