One of the best things about being a homeowner is that you get to fix all kinds of random shit.
It's really interesting to understand the engineering behind common things you may have otherwise never thought about. Fixing real, physical things makes our monkey brains feel good.

Enough is enough. After work today I am cancelling all except one streaming service in this house and we are just going to rotate that one service around.
I just did the math on what we're paying for all of these things and IT'S ABSOLUTELY FUCKING BANANAS.

I guess it's not totally fair to blame the WASM folks. This really is going to take Google/Apple/Microsoft/Mozilla to agree to standardize on a low level DOM API that is abstracted away from javascript.
> WASM 3.0 is out
Congrats. Now can someone PLEASE bring some sanity to the WASM project and start pushing for direct manipulation of the DOM API? I would LOVE to be able to update the DOM in a language that isn't Javascript.

Just listened to @jremsikjr.bsky.social on the Remote Ruby podcast with @excid3.com - XO Ruby sounds like it's going to be an incredible time. Small conferences are the best! I hope everyone that made it to Chicago loved it.

The best feature of @obsidian.md is the inherent hackability. You can do whatever you want with your notes because *everything* is literally just a plain text file on your computer. Write tiny scripts to automate stuff. Pipe the contents to other programs. Solve your own problems.

Nothing worse than finding a podcast you love. Learning all kinds of new things. Thinking the hosts are the best. Until suddenly they start confidently talking about a subject you're an expert in and you realize you've been listening to a group of idiots.

GitHub Pages not adopting Jekyll 4+ was a huge blow to the Jekyll ecosystem 🙁
I'm glad they are starting to recommend people use GitHub Actions for building Jekyll sites instead of using the legacy GitHub Pages build system.

Bases in @obsidian.md are sooo good. Time to rip out all of my old dataview queries and random tables and convert.
Just need obsidian publish support for bases and then we're really cooking with gas.

I am loving Mario Kart World so far, but why is the "Free Roam" gameplay mode just shoved down in the bottom right corner like an afterthought?

The gang's all here! First impressions: the Switch 2 is MUCH more premium feeling than the original Switch. The magnetic joycons are amazing.

If AI kills the leetcode interview I take back everything bad I ever said about it.
Leetcode was always a horrible way to figure out who is actually good at building maintainable products. It only rewards those with the free time to study and memorize algorithmic problems.
