As a long-time Jenkins user I have to say: the latest UI improvements are really nice! I run a local copy (via Homebrew) to keep up with the latest and it looks so much better.

One of the small joys of owning a newer car is the seemingly endless amount of windshield washer fluid it can hold.

I finally saw Dune parts 1 and 2 during my flights to and from London. It’s ok. I like part 1 more than 2. This probably speaks to my age, but I still kind of prefer the David Lynch version.

It would be very on-brand if the Eglinton Crosstown LRT was further delayed by spontaneous combustion. 👈 This will probably only make sense if you live in Toronto.

The family is in London this week. We went to Borough Market and I finally had one of the sausage roles from The Ginger Pig. AMAZING. And their Cornish pasty is also stellar!

Robot vacuums are so much more sophisticated now compared to the roomba I had back in 2006. We recently bought the Dreame E30 Ultra from Costco (on sale!). It mops! Self cleans! Cables and cords are still their weakness though, ha.

The oasis concert was great! Our commute to Roger’s Stadium up in North York wasn’t too bad. We parked at Pioneer Village Station, took the subway to Downsview Park Station and walked for like 20 minutes through…a whole lot of empty park-lot-able fields. It’s a weird setup!

From “quarter billion dollar comp packages” to “hiring freeze” in about as much time as it takes to microwave a burrito.
Meta froze hiring in its AI division last week with sources saying exceptions need Alexandr Wang's permission; the duration of the freeze remains unclear (Meghan Bobrowsky/Wall Street Journal)
