If I get any errands run today, the true motivation will have been to see how cute that frat/sorority house with the extensive residual halloween decorations and the 80% burnt-out strings of xmas lights looks under a fresh blanket of snow

I'm still squeezing a little bit of amusement out of being among the last humans to grow up confident that words came out of people with intent.

I may be Corrosion's biggest fan (who hasn't got large quantities of fast-changing globally distributed services to keep track of). Love to see it finally get its Fly.io blog post!

I was contacted by someone via my website. They played the Star Trek mainframe game on an actual computer at a university - one with no screen. He still has the printouts form one of his games, some of which can be seen here.
A fascinating piece of gaming history.

Still haunted by last night's dream about an all-hands meeting where everyone's value was to be judged by the spectacularity of the Sora videos they made to dramatize their previous-quarter contributions.

I now want to learn Ash just so I have an excuse to buy the strangely appetizing book
Feels pretty surreal to finally be holding the Ash Framework book in my hands. Thank you to everyone (especially @zachdaniel.dev and the team at @pragprog.com) who helped make this happen!

The Happy Fits are growing on me. Lots of layers, very tight. Love the vocals in this, especially the second half after the beat drops

I made this a while back with Elixir/Phoenix and Fly.io, and I still get a kick out of it. Create a Fly Machine near you, with the push of a button! It's useless!

I'm editing a long blog post. In searching for confirmation of technical details, I keep discovering other people's blog posts that would have connected the dots for me, had I read them first.
Wonder if in my ignorance I passed over them, or if a useful niche article is just not very discoverable.

I really dislike how science has started calling almost any fancy computational technique AI. 🧪
The framing of this entire article makes it sound like a benevolent AI independently made these drugs.
That is *pure fantasy*.
Instead: a team of scientists made a machine learning model for a study.

Qwen3-4B-Thinking (a 4GB download) just became the first model I've tested to directly push back against my pelican riding a bicycle test, calling it "oddly specific and completely unrealistic" and saying "this request violates physics and biology"

After using this for a bit, I was unsure I really wanted a button in my UI to save changes, but I gotta say when my tinkering screws up my keybindings it's cool to remember I can use the trackpad for that.
What if writing a blog were like writing a Slack thread? What if that's just an excuse for vibe coding in Rust and Elixir? Also: shoutout to @ratatui.rs. TUI!

Ratatui has great docs, btw. Don't be like me. Read them.
