I miss the old web, so I built something: a site to track Jacaranda trees blooming across Mexico. I called it Jacaranami (jacaranami.com), a pun on Hanami, the Japanese tradition of observing cherry blossoms. Kept it as minimal as possible, even self-hosting the map tiles. Use it, share it
I really want a TR-1000
I’m about to do some ruby again since my hiatus of 8 years in corporate… just to discover everything is trying to fork, deplatforming and division. What happened? (I’m aware of all the latest debates, but I’m still confused of how we arrived to this point)
The only thing is miss more from 15 years ago on social networks is that there was less division of us vs them…
You just went around the campfire of your particular interest or fandom, in some ways It was more diverse and less bipolar.
Or maybe I’m just getting old and this is pure nostalgia
Maybe I just need to build ways of consuming data here… I do wonder how much is possible in a small home lab environment.
I love what is happening in Bluesky, but maybe I’m burnt out of trying to recreate my network once again from scratch here.
reads like VC funded freebies… in other words, “spending that fuels growth but we are not charging for”
Bought a thermal printer and had fun with it… simple hacking fun.
there are four lights
Maybe, I’ll ask my MCP to craft a better response for bluesky
Its 10 PM and I want tacos….

Las opciones para alguien en tech o devs son claras: “Estoy seguro”, “Voy a mejorar tanto que nada me afecta”, “Voy a aprovechar la IA para subir de nivel” o “Me salgo del juego y camino hacia al atardecer”.
Cual eres tu en tu relación con las IA o LLMs especificamente?
La parte curiosa de crecer es que pueden dedicarse a diversas cosas tus amigos y quizás no entienden tu trabajo, pero siempre habra un punto común en expresar dolor de vivir en el sistema. Especialmente si tus amigos también terminaron en el mundo corporativo.
Super impressed with the BTS from the Netflix series Senna, it seems the whole production was done in .br

A screenshot of PayPal's terms of service. Big wall of legalese text, which I will be pasting in below. You don't need to read it, here's the important part: "The key update to the Privacy Statement explains how we will share information with merchants to personalize your shopping experience and recommend our services to you. Personal information we disclose includes, for example, products, preferences, sizes, and styles we think you’ll like. Information gathered about you after the effective date of our updated Privacy Statement, November 27, 2024, will be shared with participating stores where you shop." Here's the whole paragraph: We are updating our Privacy Statement to explain how, starting early Summer 2025, we will share information to help improve your shopping experience and make it more personalized for you.

Hell is paved with well intentioned malformed CSV files
I prefer the verbal abuse of the rust compiler…
it encourages me to be better…
microwaves are steam machines…
right? I enjoy seeing my kids play and ask me about anything… I’ve been waiting my whole life to answer all their questions…
and seeing them fail and try again… such a joy truly…
Ok, so now im at the age that Arcade Fire is background music at the Cheesecake Factory… ok…
Back from listening to the pitch of a new elementary school. You have to wonder, why is there still some much emphasis on military like discipline for 4-6 year old kids in other schools. Montessori, Waldorf, etc, can kids be kids or do we need them to use their tiny hands to push the bottom line
yes… adventofcode.com something like this, there are other around if you look around. Nice bookend for the year if you enjoy puzzles and doing some code.
or generating dopamine…
