comic with 6 panels in a 3x2 grid. Both rows follow a similar pattern with two characters looking forward to a conference lineup and schedule and then their reaction to it. Top row: the conference content is colorful and full of different languages and technologies, character 1 says 'Dude! Look at that line-up and all those topics! I can't go this year and I'm already getting FOMO!' and character 2 replies 'so much FOMO!'. Bottom row: the conference content is basically monochrome with AI repeating as topic and just a few different things; character 1 says 'Man, I think I'm getting old! Look at that line-up and all those topics... but I'm not feeling any FOMO!' and character 2 replies 'It's not you who's getting old'

German chocolate cake is named after an American, Samuel German. But did you know that the same applies to other treats?

French toast: named after an American, Frederick Fillmore French
Turkish delight: after a Croatian, Željko Turk
Korean barbecue: after an Italian, Mario Korea

The parent handled this perfectly. Didn't get her in trouble, just told her to stop. Environmental impact trumps "intellectual curiosity" every time. That's besides the other negatives. Don't trust your kids with the suicide coach machines unsupervised

Why does nobody use the two-value display CSS property? Is it for browser compatibility? Developer familiarity? Saving keystrokes? Just cus ya gotta?

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Post from Vercels Twitter account. "We’ve identified a security incident that involved unauthorized access to certain internal Vercel systems, impacting a limited subset of customers. Please see our security bulletin:"

Vercel hasn't posted this on Bluesky yet but they have a very significant security leak.

Welp, there goes my Sunday. Damn it man.

If you have anything hosted on Vercel, take action now.

CSS nesting and `:has()` are two months away from being Baseline Widely Available (i.e. available in Chrome/Edge/Firefox/Safari for 30 months).

GITHUB, THE FIRST ENTERPRISE CLOUD SOLUTION TO REACH ZERO NINES RELIABILITY

A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

It reduces the effort for spam detection if you tell people that when they send you spam, they should tell you that they sent you spam

Bluesky announces that they are pivoting to selling shoes.

When someone points out stuff like [] + [] in JavaScript has unexpected results, remember that no one runs into these problems in the wild. If you spent any amount of time writing the weird code with weird behavior, you wouldn't need some overly clever person telling you what it would do

Choosing based on familiarity means you hit the ground running using a good enough framework than spend time learning something new that's not much better. Often the best language/framework/tool to use is the one you already know

Whenever possible prefer a deterministic tool designed for a specific function over a non-deterministic tools. If we cannot use a deterministic tool, then we should reach for a non-deterministic tool designed for the specific function. There is no space for a general-purpose everything app

We all have days like this

Math.sumPrecise() - JavaScript | MDN The Math.sumPrecise() static method takes an iterable of numbers and returns the sum of them. It is more precise than summing them up in a loop, because it avoids floating point precision loss in inte...

JavaScript addition using the new and upcoming Math.sumPrecise():

❌ 1 + 0.1 - 1 = 0.10000000000000009
✅ Math.sumPrecise([1,.1,-1]) = 0.1

❌ 1e20 + 0.1 - 1e20 = 0
✅ Math.sumPrecise([1e20,.1,-1e20]) = 0.1

❌ 0.1 + 0.2 = 0.30000000000000004
❌ Math.sumPrecise([.1,.2]) = 0.30000000000000004

Obviously these things have their uses in flex, otherwise they wouldn't be provided. But too often, they are used to override defaults in flex that would be better served by using grid. Or sometimes even not setting a display at all

Signs flexbox might not be the right layout:

- flex-direction: column
- flex: 1
- width: 100%

I mean get that bag and all. I just don't have the money for it due to the whole unemployment situation

I need a sugar daddy to pay for my system design interview prep

I need my employer to pay for my system design interview prep

Why? 👀

Could you link to the source? I'm curious about when the poll was made and what the demographic breakdowns were

It's OK to compare floating-points for equality

Hi JoshuaKGoldberg, We're writing to let you know that between September 2025 and January 2026, webhook secrets for webhooks you are responsible for were inadvertently included in an HTTP header on webhook deliveries. This means that any system receiving webhook payloads during this window could have logged the webhook secret from the request headers. Webhook deliveries are encrypted in transit via TLS, so the header containing the secret was only accessible to the receiving endpoint in a base64-encoded format. We have no evidence to suggest your secrets were intercepted. This issue was fixed on January 26, 2026. Please read on for more information.

GitHub leaked webhook secrets for many repos for *months* in 2025 and again in January 2026. Then only notified some of us today, in April.

But hey at least Copilot is integrated into GitHub and Windows 11!

AGI 2 years away. posted 3 years ago.

this screenshot gets funnier every year

The people physically threatening Altman are AI doomsday cultist. They have bought into the ChatGPT marketing that it's on the precipice of AGI and are taking that belief to its logical conclusion. Arguably in the opposite camp as the AI skeptics

Maybe it was a new concept to the person explaining it to you
