Android 16 for the Fairphone 6 is here. Still slower than some mainstream brands, but much faster than previous android rollout. Hope they keep improving!

Happy Pi + 314 day!

Double celebration for those in St. Louis...

MacBook Neo performs over 3x faster than the 28-core Mac Pro in single core Geekbench

There is the obvious human cost of direct casualties... But if the environmental damage is large enough that it measurably moves the needle on climate change.. then you can say that any war is killing us all slowly.

Where does the waste of bombed infrastructure, buildings, cars go to? What is the CO2 footprint of armies?

php://memory is a stream that lives in RAM.
php://temp starts in RAM, spills to disk after 2MB (configurable, see below!).

No tmpfile(). No temp directory. No cleanup.

Perfect for building files in memory before sending in #PHP!

Did you know the "maxmemory: " trick?

Random thought - what is the environmental cost of war? With reports of oil refineries being hit in Iran, Israel and elsewhere... How much CO2 is being just burned off with 0 utility?

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

If you have a Dell XPS (or any Dell for that matter) check for bloat ware named "Killer Performance Driver Suite". It will absolutely destroy your performance and battery life - and cause your devices to have weird glitches.

This video makes me think about how Nairobi has very similar problems but is investing nearly nothing in public transport - only bigger roads.

Props to @scott.hanselman.com for naming the elephant in the room in big tech.

AI coding tools boost senior engineers but create challenges for juniors who lack context to judge outputs. Cutting junior hiring for near-term gains weakens the future pipeline. We’ll need apprenticeship-style paths.

The matrix must be real.

I'm seeing more people use X's article feature to share content.

I really wouldn't do that. Sure, they'll probably give you more exposure in the short term, but in the long term you want to stay the owner of your own content.

Start your own blog if you want to share things 🙂

I’m going to say this louder for the people in the back, the “AI productivity boost” is that it helps you get to a first draft faster.

LLMs are not good enough for you to not review the output and just publish. If they were then your job wouldn’t need you anyway.
