Managing GitHub Action matrices is great until you have to update required status checks for every new version.

I solved this with a 10-line "all-checks-passed" job that dynamically validates the matrix. No more manual updates!

I built a lightweight Bluesky PWA!

It’s a simple client designed to fix one big annoyance: losing your scroll position.

It’s built with Svelte and is fully open-source.

Try it here: bluesky-pwa.netlify.app

This is a great read about writing an HTML5 spec compliant parser in Python and a fascinating follow up by Simon converting the library to JavaScript for "free" simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/15/...

Lol happens to the best of us

@legendaryupside.bsky.social @patkerrane.bsky.social Don't know the best place to mention this but the walk through hasn't posted to the premium feed. You mentioned in the pod with Reebs it's done (otherwise I'd still be patiently waiting 😂)

Being forced to login to Apple TV every day on a PC makes it the absolute worst streaming experience. It thinks I'm logged in, but also doesn't recognize I have a subscription and I have to go through 5 clicks to fully log in. It's an abysmal user experience.

What are some songs where you are Astounded when you look at the play count? These should all be at 100M+ but some haven't cracked 1 million.

Once you understand that a driving principle of American politics is there is no such thing as a compassionate solution that's cheap enough or a cruel solution that's too expensive, a lot of things click into place.

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about:

Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

@laurarbelin.bsky.social Absolutely unsurprising but Joni got played

Nunn is so committed to Iowa District 3 he didn't show up to the Ankeny Summerfest parade which is almost 10% of his district population

Their training is just the image from family guy

you'd think painting these guys as enemies of working people everywhere would be a layup but instead dems are tinkering with messaging "freedom" and "abundance"

Here's my statement on the President's reckless actions tonight.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Strings Just Got Faster In JDK 25, Strings used as keys in immutable Maps can be much faster.

This is pretty sick.

In JDK 25, the String::hashCode function in Java is improved to be mostly constant foldable, meaning the compiler can pre-compute the hash code at compile time when possible.

One pot recipes are the best - "Ready in 15 minutes" when that means 5 minutes to cook a pound of noodles with like 8 oz of liquid.

Is there some trick to cooking noodles very quickly without liquid?

Almost every time I end up tripling the liquid and the time it takes to cook.

@lateroundqb.bsky.social "two is not a winner and three nobody remembers"

I generally take this approach but I'd never heard it phrased in Nelly lyrics before, thanks for that.

Utah lawmakers’ own study found gender-affirming care benefits trans youth. Will they lift the treatment ban? The Utah Legislature's own newly-released study found that gender-affirming care benefits trans youth. Now, will lawmakers lift the treatment ban?

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive.

Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it.

Whoops.

THE ALVIN KAMARA FLOOR Even JJ admits he's "always shocked when Kamara's projections come out the way they do." The numbers are wild: Kamara has never had a target share per game rate below 17.9% in any NFL season. JJ dug into the data and found that, since 2011, running backs with 18%+ target shares have finished outside RB1 territory just three times. And all three failed to hit an easy-to-achieve 25% rush share.

Alvin Kamara RB1 SZN (again)

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

Painful how accurate this is.
