My parents were less than thrilled about that subscription

Thats why we have so many to choose from

All the good programming tools are like this

like the louvre thieves only stole some dumbass crown jewels who cares but there are actual masterpieces there which--and this is the point of a museum--are humanity's collective heritage and should not be reserved for the audacious or the fortunate alone

Everyone who’s on the blocklist and everyone who subscribes to it, to ensure a good excision with clean margins

3 bylines for "what if i was an antisocial prick"

Update: nevermind

Then you just have 2 senates

just make the marginal impact of redistricting lower and nobody will bother anymore

my medium warm redistricting take is if you have 1000 people in the house of representatives you probably dont need to do gerrymandering reform

its interesting how trump has gotten almost literally everything hes ever wanted in life and is clearly one of the most miserable people alive

and when absolutely nothing happens as a result of this tweet he'll look even weaker

Theres a U-shaped curve of like "i dont know about the useful cases" -> "i use this for work, and have written code in a month" -> "i am a founder pitching it"

and the two tips of the U fight, but they are convinced the middle is lying about benefits/limitations

nobody cares that loud accounts don’t like AI, they care that people are lying about in ways that misinform other people

as capabilities very obviously grow, this has a very strong tendency towards conspiracism and the kind of siege mentality that serves no one well

AO3 is hard up recently:

It’s his day

why say "60-fold reduction" when you can just lean into being wrong about math

and a lot of the reasonable complaints dont really rise to the level of "furious dogpile"

and to be clear, a whole lot of the things people scream at the bluesky devs about 24/7 are just not reasonable complaints

being active at all under your work name is a bad idea because you're gonna get yelled at 24/7 and eing yelled at 24/7 isnt conducive to making good product decisions even if you dont engage

The VA win shows that the Dem electorate is pro-vengeance and less worried about following rules and norms in these trying times.

I'm on some pretty silly blocklists but the trick is to just not care

does anyone else ever forget that vercel is a website building tool and think people are referencing a new and even more confusing weird incel spinoff subculture

Bluesky has been handling it really well for such a small company.

in retrospect tom of myspace made the right call by not actually using the site publically

blocks being public is one of the worst features of bluesky

** 2006-10-31: The default prefix used to be "sqlite_".

Here is an insane piece of lore inside SQLite's source code

I am researching VACUUM and I was studying their code. In VACUUM, SQLite creates a temp file prefixed with `etilqs_`

Here is why:

absolutely ice blooded move to immediately tweet about this
