Presumably you can get a browser up and run an emulated SNES… like getting a Transformer to pretend to be a horse and cart.

TIL: Opt-clicking an app's icon in the dock switches to it and hides the previous app. Twenty years of macOS and I'm still stumbling across new things.

😂 I played Ragnarok for a bit, and found it a bit underwhelming after completing (and loving) Ghost of Tsushima — I might have been spoiled for third person weapon combo games?

Taking a couple weeks between jobs, plus holiday time off, so I have a PS5 Pro arriving tomorrow. What are my essential games?

There are two very different kinds of results when searching for “coffee” in Maps. You don’t even need to look for Torani bottles these days, just whipped cream and steering wheels.

I'm no longer in the habit of posting much on social media — while there's lots of public health and community stuff to track, my own sharing is peer-to-peer, not broadcast — but I'm glad to see that perhaps Bluesky is capturing the imagination. It's been fun to see it grow from the earliest days.

Feeling acutely aware that two days is not enough for a weekend. There is labor in life that isn’t tied to the working week. One day for chores, one day for friends, one day to rest.

Bonus cat content.

A good interview process is one that you would be able to pass cold after a year doing the job. I think only Stripe’s interview fits that characterization.

Not to mention that after doing this for 18+ years, my job absolutely allows me to be a little bit rusty on the details, but interviews don’t.

I’m spending today warming up for an interview with some Leetcode. Funny that the hardest part of a coding screen (e.g., remembering the precise details of topological sort of a graph) is typically the one thing you will never need to do closed-book.

One of my deepest COVID disappointments is that humanity broadly decided that investing in clean air — which improves kids’ test scores, mitigates wildfire smoke, limits the spread of many diseases, and more — simply wasn’t worth it.

Today was a really interesting day to work in fintech, that’s for sure.
