Wouldn't be a day of the week that ends in "day" without GitHub having problems.

So everyone thinks there's no good reason why GitHub Actions would have you wait until the entire workflow finishes before you can retry failed jobs, but actually... there's no good reason.

“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English”

my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

That Ring “search party” ad was unsubtle enough that even my 10yo watched it and was like “are they gonna use this for ICE?”

I really hope the adoption of LLMs brings more Rust code into the world.

I find the current models to be quite good at writing Rust, and Rust's type system allows you to embed a lot of guarantees into the code that they're generating.

Don’t even know why I hang out in this Discord server anymore, tbh.

Ah, so that’s where all the pronouns went.

I do agree with Juliet that pronouns should be built-in to the profile.

the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style
MY KIDS: so why are there muppets in the AUDIENCE

ME: THE CONCEIT!! IS THAT THEY'RE PUTTING ON A VARIETY SHOW!!! IN A WORLD WHERE MUPPET AND HUMAN COEXIST!!! YOU ARE WATCHING A DOCUMENTARY!! FILMED!! IN REAL TIME!!!

It snowed overnight in Tokyo. One of my goals for February was to get a photo of a warbling white-eye or "mejiro" (they are so cute!)

... and then there were a couple flitting about in the snow-covered bushes right outside my apartment which made things pretty easy 😂
