I hate it when restaurant servers take orders without writing them down. Instead thinking the service is top notch and feeling flattered that my order is important enough to be committed to memory, I'm just stressed on their behalf that they're going to forget something...

None of us are very excited about turkey, so our tradition is tri-tip (which apparently is a California thing -- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri-tip). The plan is 4 hours sous vide and then finish on the grill!

Kotlin 2.1 is out! kotlinlang.org/docs/whatsne... I'm excited about better dollar substitution in raw strings! In lint's test DSL there's a workaround for it. Look at the screenshot -- unescaped $'s? But how? If you look carefully, it's a lookalike! cs.android.com/search?q=%22...

@tornorbye.bsky.social and I were just discussing one of his new lint checks, and it reminded me that Kotlin lambdas can lead to boxing of primitive types if you're not careful. A non-inline function that takes a lambda will compile down to the generic Function* types and your primitives will box.

I stopped using Twitter two years ago, deleted my tweets and set my profile to private. Maybe I'd return one day? But that appears unlikely now, so I just pulled the trigger and deleted my 15 year old account. Since I've been absent for 2 years, I already know I won't miss it!

Re-watching demos from #dcldn24, what Tor was saying last week is sinking in. Journeys are not just a natural language test definition on top of Espresso. But also, the AI is LOOKING 👀 at the UI as you, a human, would for correct behaviors. That's… so powerful. www.youtube.com/live/iKTgKGe...
