@gruber.foo I don't know if this was a universal experience, but for years the Apple Community forums messed with the browser history when you landed on a forum page. Drove me crazy that I would have to click multiple times to get back to my google search results. daringfireball.net/linked/2026/...

Beautiful work!
I think floor crossing is meant for exactly this situation, where a recalcitrant opposition party is doing everything they can to throw sand in the gears of government. Floor crossing or opposing your party leadership seems like the right thing to do, even if I'm not entirely happy about the effects
Something I have often wondered is whether the human eye interprets mixed RGB colours like yellow the same as a pure single wavelength colour. Like, if the colours are perfectly matches can our eyes tell the difference?
omg 💀
It's not even nitpicky, it's made up. The screenshot is altered, and the claim that the last shot is of the farm is false. The last shot is Rey and BB8 looking out on the sunset. bsky.app/profile/timd...
Comparison of the original shot from the Blu-ray versus the desaturated version from the original post. The original shot is much warmer, and the desaturated shot has all the warm tones taken out of it to make it appear grey.
A grid of ten screenshots from the final sequence of Rise of Skywalker. The sun is setting on the horizon and as the sequence proceeds the colours get warmer and more and more saturated.
A screenshot of the final shot from The Rise of Skywalker showing Ray and BB8 standing in front of the binary star sunset. This shot mirrors the sequence from A New Hope with Luke looking out on the binary star sunset.
Are we just creating an alternate history now? 🤷🏻♂️
➀ The reason you've never seen these two shots side by side like this is because whoever made this image purposely desaturated the Rise of Skywalker scene.
② The final shot of the film is Rey and BB8 looking out on the binary sunset, mirroring Luke.
I just used Charcuterie in a work application yesterday! I was trying to find a specific arrow shape that I assumed existed, but wasn't sure. Charcuterie helped me find it!

Oh nice, I think that's a recent addition! I'll probably keep using the slash command though because I hate when Claude keeps thinking the plan is ready when it's not 😅
I made a slash command that tells Claude to give me the plan file path, open the file for me (I work in VSCode), and not to exit plan mode or present the plan until I say I’m ready to proceed. It’s made things a lot easier, can also open the plan in formatted markdown preview if you want.
How on earth did you map the characters’ similarity? I can’t even being to think how I’d approach creating that data.
Such a genuinely useful feature! Thanks to the people responsible for suggesting this.
I have no idea what this is, but it’s cool!
It took me far too long to get the double entendres here, amazing! 👏 👏
Yeah, posting unsourced wild claims like these is an instant block for me. It’s so tiresome.

Website screenshot showing a 3D video of a musician playing a guitar. There is a button labelled “Stream Now.” Text says “Try Streaming: Instant VR Experience. No app or download needed. 80 Mbps”
Streaming this fully-3D video on my 6 year old iPhone blew my mind. You can rotate, pan, zoom in and out, all while the video is playing. 🤯 store.gracia.ai/creator/DNE/...
Which set is this! I have a couple of the other botanicals and would love to get this one.
Thanks for this article! I’ve seen lots of anecdotal evidence of this being true, but never a synthesis of all the available research!
Saying to the shop owner: “Yes, I agree! The parking IS killing your business. We should put in a bike lane instead.”
Does writing to production studios do anything these days? Who knows, but I at least added my name to this petition. It would be sad to see this show get such a short run.

Hold up, you're correlating the color's creation date and location with historical weather data? Haha that's awesome 👍🏻

If we care about Metro Vancouver's patchwork of municipalities to keep them as separate things, with separate city halls, civic institutions and political cultures, then we need to care enough to fund media that will cover them.
8/ “Peace is no longer sought as a gift and a desirable good in itself … Instead, peace is sought through weapons as a condition for asserting one’s own dominion. This gravely threatens the rule of law, which is the foundation of all peaceful civil coexistence.”
