Vercel joking about Scarlett Johansson at their keynote is enormously tone-deaf.

Does anyone know if OIDC based publishing (not just provenance) is coming to npm?

i.e., so I don't need a NPM_TOKEN from CI based publishing which has a IDC ID Token provider, much like the new Rubygems' Trusted Publishing setup.

@protonprivacy having taken your customer survey. I can’t help but wonder why you would suggest your building AI versus a full text search.

You know how sometimes when you finish a book and you can’t read any other books because they’re not the one you just finished?

Yeah that’s me right now.

We've got this cheap egg cooker that plays the loudest, most terrifying alarm you've ever heard when it's done cooking. My wife requested that I make it "less aggressive" so I hacked it into the most gentle egg cooker of ALL TIME

(warning: probably loud)

Before shot: egg cooker finishing an egg before modification. Jarring alarm goes off, I say "fuck!" After shot: egg cooker finishes. A few moments later, a small mechanical music box next to the cooker starts playing Pachelbel's Canon

Do these aches you get later in life ever go away?

What a shame. Best original scifi show since The Expanse. I will miss Scavengers Reign.

@tbeseda do you know about when remix picked up architect? Pre-or post acquisition to Shopify?

A common comment on this post was that I hadn't explained labour arbitrage clearly. Many thought I was making an argument against productivity or reusable code. So I added a section to better explain what I mean

"React, Electron, and LLMs have a common purpose: the labour arbitrage theory of dev tool popularity"

(Direct link to that section)

the russian & turkish baths in nyc have two owners, boris and david, who alternate weeks and you can only use your pass or gift card on the days the owner who sold them are working. for years their website has directed people to a glitch app to identify whose day it is: https://baths.glitch.me/

Observations, medication day #5. Something kicked into high gear and I am awestruck again. What is this amazingness. Control over hyperfocus; control starting, stopping, and moving to whatever needs it.

I'm back to having no words.

I still tend to babble irl, I chatterbox constantly at to and with coworkers.

(If you mix equal parts ryan reynolds and she-hulk together and pour out a slightly less clever git you'd have me.)

Kind of surprised that hasn't stopped but I'm OK with that.

So I finally finished reading The Expanse with book 9. It took me a while, as I'm generally not reading as much as I'd like to these days.

Anyway, I think it was a good end to the series. Really good, actually.

I’ve got two kids, but I’m also a privileged tech worker with a lot of free time relative to people in other situations. And I can’t help but wonder what I could learn or do if my pursuits weren’t economic.

I read a #scifi #book about an ice hauler that gets suddenly sent out of the solar system at relativistic speeds on the back of something that apparently isn't a comet, it starts as a survival story and then turns really interesting and weird.

Do any of you know what I might be talking about?

So with GitHub Actions and “re-run failed jobs”, it’s 20/80 chance that the PR actually gets updated with the then passed checks or what am I missing?

Big thanks to @jcorbin for walking me through a ton of finer points of #openscad I've made my first #3dprinting model!

It's a little late for indie bookstore day but these are bookmarks for my local bookstore.

I'm testing a print in the only color PETG I've got, and will try a 2 color PLA in the morning. I think the inset one would look really good with the letters (and bottom of the bookmark) in black with a white top. 🤔

And if you're every nearby https://www.womrathbooks.com/ !

A sliced GCODE version of both bookmarks. I'm printing them in PETG at 1mm depth. We'll see how it goes :fingers crossed:
A photo of my printer starting it's print. Just some blue outlines for now.
