I see spotify is now pushing podcasts even harder. Look man its not happening. I'm not going to listen to any of them. Just don't like the format. Let me listen to music in peace.

Sure, Linus is not a perfect person, nobody is, but at least he never became some oligarch. He's just a nerd that wanted to run a free Unix

I'll be presenting a talk on #TDD at #Agile2025! And not your run-of-the-mill intro, but a deep dive into what we think about (or should be thinking about) in between the well-known "Red-Green-Refactor" steps. Hope to see you there!

This is good actually. Hackers are building generated tarpits for LLMs that ignore robots.txt. It traps the LLM for days and poisons the model with garbage data arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Online places are physical. You choose to be here and you choose who you want to associate with. Just like others may actively choose to live in Idaho or Alabama.

Idea for the paywalled media. I can buy a random NY Times at the gas station. Why can’t you let people anonymously buy a random article?

I had the worst coffee yesterday in Iowa City. I didn't know coffee could be that bad. My insides are still complaining. I won't say from where because clearly it's my fault for ordering coffee.

Supposedly Dylan's "Self Portrait" album is supposed to be crap. But I just listened to it and its fine. I don't understand the criticism. Is it because he's singing love songs and not yelling non sequiturs at you?
