Wolverine really wants you to use pure functions

Working on our new AI Skills for the Critter Stack this morning and I'm happy with this part:

We've since found a few more extensions and flagged them with Google/Microsoft! 😎

Does anyone know how we can get these extensions taken down faster? They're still active!

This is surreal and sci-fi at the same time. It's so cool that we can do this.

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable.

Wolverine's Advantages as a Messaging Tool | Jeremy Miller Last week I shared the results of what Wolverine was missing after doing some gap analysis to compare it to some other messaging tools in enterprise-y .NET and Java. Today I'm doing the much more enjo...

This is a nice overview of why I prefer wolverine over other alternatives. Especially the support for the A-Frame pattern. The features about side effects, cascading messages and compound handlers really complement this pattern.

Scientists finally mapped all 10,000 nerve endings of the clitoris in 3D for the first time in history. Detailed pick showing female anatomy with all the nerve endings.

Men, get on her nerves in the good way.

A different perspective.
Always helpful.

I enjoy the insights. If you can do that in a short post, great. If you need a series to convey the insights, then it's a delayed great because I need more time to read and digest it.

So I enjoy both formats.

Je bent ongeveer 6 maand te laat.

Ik moet mijn mazout tank laten bijvullen en ik ga ook even wachten om dat te doen. 😄

If you are doing messaging or looking into event sourcing, the critter stack is well worth investigating.

Imposter syndrome in software

I follow what is happening in the AI/LLM/agents space as closely as I can. Lately, it sometimes feels like backstepping into the last millennium:

"We need a correct, complete specification so that agents can then implement it."
Replace agents with developers, and it sounds like pre-2000.

bliki: Agentic Email Giving an LLM access to email is extremely risky

NEW POST

I've heard a number of reports recently about people setting up LLM agents to work on their email and other communications. I think this is extremely risky

I've been wondering the same thing. The concept is cool, but I can't find a practical use case.

And what happens when you have multiple copies of a browser open and you restart the machine. Do they all open the tabs from last time, does only one and you lose a bunch of tabs.

try F# today folks, it comes for free within #dotnet sdk !Super easy to get started in vscode with Ionide extension or VS/rider , it’s the .NET ocaml great interop with C# in the same solution, use all the nuget packages you already know and love 💕 has scripting .fsx and REPL baked in

This is why I love @vivaldi.com, they take security and privacy seriously. I bet they have a decent password manager, but I want to use @1password.bsky.social (not sure if it's the right account) and this browser lets me do just that.

inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me

for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

Until you hear the voices in the next room wonder why the production database is suddenly unreachable.

Submitted 2 security issues to NuGet and GitHub last year, finally heard back that they are low priority and not a big deal.

I did manage to publish this package to NuGet. A bunch of unicode in there, but it looks genuine, right? Nobody would discover this via search because of the unicode.

this is exactly backwards

*Are you sure your access tokens are really secure?* by @gotsharp.be is a really great talk that exposes common validation mistakes that let attackers use forged tokens and explains how to prevent them.
