Someone, somewhere, is building a JavaScript framework to replace a JavaScript framework that was built to replace a JavaScript framework.
TIL swap doesn't have to be a partition, it can just be a file. It’s exactly what pagefile.sys is on Windows. Mind blown. 🤯

Figured this out while configuring NixOS - turns out the recommended way is declaring a simple /swapfile rather than messing with partitions.

Happy 25th birthday, Wikipedia! It's incredible to think about the impact this platform has had on global knowledge and education over the last quarter-century. Still one of the best things on the internet.

I love basically all of Obsidian's updates. It is one of the few pieces of software, along with Symfonium and MacroDroid, for which I am actually excited to read the changelogs!

MacroDroid just added AI queries OMGGGG! There goes another few hours of my life trying to automate things that probably didn't need to be automated (but will be very cool) haha

I still don't use MCPs for anything... Am I missing out?

It feels like a protocol looking for a problem right now. What's the killer use case I'm overlooking?

I just updated my BIOS for the first time and AI made the whole process so much easier.

From temporarily disabling BitLocker via PowerShell to finding the exact firmware for my motherboard, I got it all done in 15 mins with zero data loss.

AI is making complex tasks so accessible.

n8n datatables are a game changer fr! 😎

Just whip up super simple tables and use them right away for storing row-based info. Barebones rn, but insanely useful already.

Shoutout to every API-first service w/ easy keys: Hevy, Todoist, Last.fm. Makes whipping up automations & side projects trivial. Self-host n8n and you're unstoppable. ❤️

OpenAI now lets you tweak ChatGPT's enthusiasm and warmth directly. Finally, an AI that doesn't have to be so damn peppy.

Every website is doing a year wrapped. But is it actually something people even remotely want or care about? In my case, Spotify makes sense, so does YouTube. But an OpenRouter wrapped? WTF...

Coursera and Udemy are merging. If it closes, it'll be one company under the Coursera name. Big consolidation in online learning!

Experimental GCC backend in Rust now fully bootstraps GCC! Can we FINALLY stop calling it the "GNU C Compiler"? 🤭 Even my CS teachers still do... (it's actually the GNU Compiler Collection!)

RAM prices skyrocketing due to AI demand. DDR5 16GB chips up ~300% in 3 months ($6.84 → $27.20). DDR4 rising too. Stock up now or wait it out?

CS is just linear algebra and boolean algebra, repeated endlessly with different syntax.

Loving Affinity for image editing. It's not actually new, but ever since Canva bought it, it's free and snappier than Photoshop!

38% of Stanford undergrads now registered as disabled (up 2x post-COVID, mostly anxiety/ADHD). That's 1 in 3 getting extra test time + priority dorms. Harvard ~20%, community colleges ~3%.

Anthropic acquires Bun – the fast JS runtime powering Claude Code. First acquisition for them. Interesting for AI and web dev.
December 2, 2025 at 9:45 PM
Advent of Code has finally started! Go solve today's puzzle now!
December 1, 2025 at 1:06 PM
aaaand Claude Opus 4.5 is the new best model. Holy hell, and it's not just the best at coding. It's crushing agents, reasoning, and everything else. Anthropic's redefining AI frontiers. 🤯

Affinity's native Linux support might be the final nail in Adobe's coffin... With DaVinci Resolve, Blender, Darktable, and more, it's time to switch to Linux if you haven't already!

Ever build a quick software tool to speed up part of your main project, but then end up wanting to turn it into the full side project?

Happening to me right now 😅

What should I do? 😭😭

France is threatening GrapheneOS with arrests and server seizures for refusing backdoors.

Privacy is essential, and this is ridiculous.

Open-source projects shouldn't fear state intimidation.

Stand with privacy-focused tech.

nzb360 and Telegram are two of the best examples of pristine user experience and interface on Android. Take a look at those if you need ideas or inspiration.

Winget now has the vast majority of apps I need on a daily basis. No need to install Chocolatey anymore when I'm on a Windows machine.

Yoo BTC just dipped below $90K for the first time in months, wiping out its 2025 gains so far.

Down about 2% YTD now, with the price hovering around $88,700 amid some market jitters.

Buying the dip or waiting it out? 📉
