Black Bag was good, but (avoiding spoilers) the "twist" with the "game" at the end should have been super, screamingly obvious to everyone? #blackbag

Y2K (the movie) was better than I was expecting, they executed the cheesy teen coming-of-age horror-comedy formula pretty well. #y2k

Grr, Firefox Mobile on Android making unnecessary UI changes. Love that bookmarking a page is now 3 clicks instead of 1.

I suppose I should be happy that my Zwift racing score increased, but I finished barely in the top half of Group D just now. It would have been nice to win one race before I get moved to the bottom of Group C... #zwift

I think UI designers should be held accountable for sneaky changes that break my muscle memory. Looking at you, Android app info UI team. #android

NYT tech workers on strike after 2 years and still no contract. Apparently major demands are "just cause" termination process, pay disparities wrt race and gender, and return to office policies. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4204...

Tried to convert my distance eyeglass prescription to a computer prescription by the online suggestion to add half of the "Near Add" value to the "Sphere" value. Right eye went from -0.25 to +0.5 and works great, left went from -1 to -0.25 and is unusably blurry. #glasses

Bob Garfield ripping Bezos and the Washington Post a new one: open.substack.com/pub/bullypul... #wapo

I want to pay for a newspaper but all of the major newspaper apps refuse to implement an ad-free subscription tier. I guess I'll continue using podcasts, public radio, and ad-blocked news websites. #journalism

Really enjoying the Tour of Watopia 2024. Got my first sub-60min ascent of the ADZ last week and got dragged through #3 this week by a good group willing to pull. #zwift

Designing a new Postgres schema from scratch is pretty satisfying #postgres

This is just unbelievably badass. @davejorgenson.bsky.social the Washington Post TikTok Guy, everyone 👏

Please consider cancelling your Washington Post subscription over their billionaire owner's decision to block the paper's endorsement of Harris. www.npr.org/2024/10/28/n... #wapo #washingtonpost #politics

Diving back into Android to finish up refactoring a personal project: an app that plays audiobooks to help me get back to sleep. What's the over/under on any breaking Android Studio, Compose, or Gradle updates... #androiddev

Any chance we could get a "hide all posts with images" option? They clutter up my feed. #bluesky @bsky.app (sorry for the repost but I realized I could/should @-message y'all)

Bluesky also needs an easier way to mute/block users given their comments. I'd like to be able to implement a zero-strike personal insult policy #bluesky @bsky.app

Glad I learned about Z2 training. Second day in a row and made it to the top of Ventoux in about 2.5h (and 3 podcasts) #zwift #wahoo

Any other NLP ML industry researchers/engineers who lost interest in the field after GPT4 launched? Seems like an increasingly small number of people will get to do the fun stuff.
