Who builds data centers in major metro areas?

AI evangelists in the media: LLMs are AGI that will revolutionize our technological landscape with heretofore unimagined genius.

AI evangelists at work: LLMs produce a lot of slop, so we should just embrace that in live in slop forever.

I personally *loved* the "combat" sequences. I've played D&D and CRPGs most of my life, and it's exceedingly rare to instill the same sense of danger and "oh no oh no oh no". Every encounter was a delightful puzzle of "How do I get out of this immediately?"

At least a couple Google locations do, in fact, have an on-site barber/salon.

(though I don't recall them having any surrounding whimsy)

google doesn't actually sell your data to third parties

(why would they? it's valuable! they're much better off being the broker who lets people target things *based* on that data. there's all sorts of other privacy reasons to be critical of google, but "selling your data" is not one of them)

Finished Esoteric Ebb tonight and I cannot believe how much I love this game.

Do you do pinned tabs?

I've only played about four hours of Esoteric Ebb, but it's already my top GOTY contender.

ahem

The clock *tick-ens*

Hey look, an actual crowd-funded gTLD!

What's your Greek yogurt brand? I just tried the Ellenos for the first time last week and it's really good.

Even though I won't be working full-time on open-source any more, I still plan to stay engaged with the community. I hope to continue being an occasional conference speaker and find time for OSS contributions here and there.

Angular remains in phenomenal hands— the team is packed full of long-tenured experts who are hard-at-work as ever. I'm especially excited about the work happening around Signal Forms, Angular Aria, and golang TS support. I know the team will continue doing great work for years to come.

But 11 years is a long time to work on one project, and I've now reached a point where I'm ready to get out of my comfort zone and take on a new challenge. So in February I will be leaving Google (a bit short of 14 years) and taking on a new role working on UI infra at Databricks.

A personal update!

This month marks my 11th anniversary of working on Angular. I've been privileged to collaborate with some incredible engineers and genuinely kind, thoughtful people. I'm proud of the work we've done and the community that has grown around the framework over the years.

I have been sincerely trying to find a shop in the Seattle area that imports a specific Bergamot Olive Oil from Italy for some time now.

(it's made by simultaneously cold pressing fresh bergamots and olives, sounds incredible)

Doug has spent a *lot* of time in this problem space lately and this will be great.

Quite a balanced outlook overall, practical steps that are useful for everyone.

Definitely in their favor

Planning a wedding for later this year and I'm deciding on vendors by picking whoever has a website that looks it was made by by their nephew in 2007.

@webstorm.jetbrains.com hmmmmmmmm?

I'm one of those two, keep up the good work

I've actually never really played it (just a few minutes)

Slightly diminish a game:

VVVVV

Some Mondays are a little bit Tuesday, or even a little bit Sunday. But this Monday is pure, uncut, weapons grade Monday

It's the time for my favorite holiday tradition: debating with my fiancee whether Jingle All the Way was intended to be a satire
