I was 3 miles from the epicenter. By far the strongest I’ve felt since I moved here 15 years ago. Hard to imagine what a 6+ would be like on the Hayward fault.

The lighting alone is insane. Hard to describe it.

I just counted 5 different radii in Apple’s apps alone. I also discovered they space the window control buttons in all sorts of different spots to, so it’s even more insane than just multiple radii.

It would be one thing if they excessively rounded and padded the windows, but they shipped with a bunch of different padding and border radii. So far I’ve counted 4 different borders, and I’m sure there’s more.

I frequently use Pico for demo websites like https://demo.rubomonolith.com . You don’t have to worry about styling and you get something that looks reasonably polished.

While true, I've noticed there's so many changes between Zed and the plugins that other things break, and it's hard to track down exactly what broke.

The problem is that other payment processors could emerge with the same trust profiles as Apple to facilitate this transaction. I could see Stripe doing something like this. They protect the consumer and come down hard on the merchants. Ima

I did a thought experiment where, at scale, if each human was given maximum agency over the observable universe, we’d each manage 250 galaxies. That comes out to about 25 trillion stars and 40 trillion planets. Give or take a few orders of

I do think LLMs will make incredible progress and we'll see lots of breakthroughs from it, but I agree it's nowhere close to AGI. I'm not sure that matters though—if a technology can give humans what they want exactly when th

Yep! I just migrated a Fly PG cluster database to SQLite because I over-provisioned DB resources and got tired of dealing with the occasional node crashing. TBH I wish they had their managed PG cluster running because it would have made it

I wish Fly would polish the developer experience on top of SQLite. They're close, but it's missing: 1. A built-in UI and CLI that manages SQLite from a volume. Getting the initial database on a Fly Machine requires more work than

I keep going back and forth on this feeling, but lately I find myself thinking "F it, I'm going to do what I'm going to do that interests me". Today I'm working on doing the unthinkable in an AI-world: putting toget

It feels like we're in a phase where hiring is slow for a lot of reasons: 1. Lot's of great talent on the market. It's a great time to be owning a company right now in terms of hiring. 2. The reality and perception of AI ma

The steps Google makes people jump through just for API keys are absolutely insane. Does anybody have insight as to why it’s so bad?

I got a really stupid email from Redis®* a year ago that wanted me to put a disclaimer on the “first page” where Redis®* appeared on a website, as if it was a paper legal document. That was the very moment Redis®* died for me—I’ve never enc

I did this with https://terminalwire.com/ I’m still tweaking the execution of the license, but in principle my thinking is, “if you’re using my software to make money, and you’re making a lot of money, you should probably b

Apple would be much better saying to the world, "we're going to make Siri better". That's concrete, people get it, LLMs are good at it, and something we'd all appreciate. Instead they're failing to build a bunc

You should try it. It's good for fast stuff, but if you want to have tons of control over editing, you probably wouldn't like it.

There’s a whole world of async IO in Ruby that doesn’t get enough attention. Checkout the async gem, including async-http, async-websockets, and the Falcon web server. https://github.com/socketry/falcon
