@tolariancommunitycollege.com Hey just letting you know, the Bluesky link in the description of your video(www.youtube.com/watch?v=t25M...) doesn't work- I think Youtube's getting confused and just sends people to bsky.app

Fucking hell. I'm trying to ignore his horseshit, but apparently Trump is talking about putting his tariffs on semiconductor manufacturing coming out of Taiwan. As much as the AI boom is largely a bubble, there *is* valuable work being done there and this will completely neuter it in America.

The news about Neil Gaiman is devastating. He's been an inspiration since my mid-20s, specifically about his writing and feminism. Ugh.

January 6 feels deeply depressing to me this year because all it represents now is the triumph of reactionary fascist liars over our institutions, our society, and the truth the worst people in this country tried to overthrow the government and it took four years but they won

@bcantrill.bsky.social I might be wrong, but I think you'd really enjoy the videos of this youtuber, "Alexander the ok"- he covers the computer systems of aircraft from the early days in great detail. Seems right up your alley: youtu.be/zf6bZBV7EWo

I'm convinced that we're getting close to the point that there'll be either a transpilation language or package ecosystem within Typescript that becomes what I've always wanted- Python for FP. We're so close. The potential is crazy.

I hate it when there are clear power dynamics in a codebase, where one team is treated as if the project is 'theirs', and makes changes that absolutely screw the rest of the team but simply say "Well, I think most would agree with me." with no evidence.

Bret Stephens has never met someone working class in his life, so it's clear why he'd think Brian Thompson is a working class hero.

As a huge fan of "errors as values", holy shit do I hate JS' neverthrow. Yes, lets make it so you can't actually await promises without completely rewriting your entire function! Yaaaaay

Y'know, I know this is heresy when you have languages like Typescript ruling the day these days, but I still think for 90% of coding work dynamic languages are more productive by far, assuming you follow a certain level of TDD. There's a lot of problems that are just *much* easier to solve in them.

it's hilarious how Commander Gaius, a jackass on a giant boar, is harder than the cover boss of Shadow of the Erdtree

Finally finished Lies of P this morning. Fantastic game, even if the final boss rush was underwhelming. Little lore on any of them, very generic villains, one fight was just meh, and all of it taking place in a nonsense tower. Every other part of the game was brilliant though, solid recommend.

Was just exploring Elixir's Nx library, and discovered an Elixir feature I didn't know existed- `then/2`. It's so obvious in retrospect.

So I decided as a way of relaxing I'd start reimplementing some of my employer's expected libraries(which currently are in Java/Python/Node/Go) in Elixir. An hour in, and the amount done on the first thing is incredible. I might even be able to take a service out of the rotation

Hooey. fly.io is genuinely just beautifully designed. Like heroku, but with much, much thinner abstractions- instead of trying to hide complexity, instead making it obvious to deal with. Love.

I wish Team Ninja would scale their games down- there are so many maximalist elements to them, but it always ends up bringing their games down a point or two where it feels rough. I desperately wanted a Ghost of Tsushima with interesting combat, but Team Ninja can't deliver the other parts yet.
