@valigo Objective-C is objectively based

You program for Apple ecosystem by using a language called "Objective C". Which, unlike C++, is a PROPER (self-proclaimed) implementation of OOP in C. In there, you send messages, just like Alan Kay intended. Files have .m extensions. Why .m? Nobody knows. Very fascinating world! They also have custom bastardized version of Rust with bazillion keywords and even slower compile times, but nobody cares about, or likes that one.

@Austen Valve too?

Any time there’s a “flat org chart” and it actually works it’s because the entire company reports directly to one god-emperor who makes 999 decisions/day

@ChShersh It's just English

My first programming book was “Learn Python in 24 hours”. 16 years later and I still don’t know Python.

@neogoose_btw C is the way

I'm a fucking prophet

@teej_dv based

5.5 just edited a node_module file directly.... what?!

@dhh It could be a change to the underlying model, but they don't tell you which models it's using for the code reviews (as fast as I can tell).

(Talking about the Copilot review feature. Not the local CLI.)

Did GitHub's Copilot get a huge upgrade in the last few weeks? It now consistently finds real issues, and is genuinely helpful. Hit ratio went from 1/10 to 7/10. Impressive! (Just wish it would not re-raise concerns that have been given a 👎 once already).

@future42org What a slimey democrat

In Part 2 of Hana Kim's (glorious) interview of state Senate Majority Leader and income tax architect Jamie Pedersen... ✅Pedersen is in denial that his tax is causing upset saying "I don't have any evidence that millionaires or business leaders are leaving as result of this income tax". ✅After being asked directly, Pedersen finally goes on the record that his goal is an income tax for all Washingtonians. ✅Pedersen attempts to lie about a future legislature's ability to lower the income level threshold down from $1 Million, and then gets defensive when Hana Kim calls him on it. This is certainly an interview for the history books. @hanamkim | @fox13seattle 'Part 2: Architect of millionaire tax defends new law'

@thsottiaux Both, and the Codex cloud agents

As a Codex user, which platform are you on

@justalexoki PlayStation

i've always been an xbox kid. but now kids cousin has a ps5 so obviously kid wants a ps5. what do i do. xbox or playstation

@WAPolicyCenter @fox13seattle Despicable to equate overturning baby murder (challenges to Row v Wade) with greedy politicians trying to steal our property. Washington state has a major advantage by not having an income tax, and they can't help themselves but to throw that away.

Hana Kim of @fox13seattle pushes Senator Jamie Pedersen, who doubles down on asking the Attorney General's office for advice on how to overturn nearly 100 years of state Supreme Court precedent declaring income as property.

@JasonBotterill Big model smell

GPT-5.5 Instant system card shows its beating 5.4-thinking on most benches lmao?

@nickaturley Better 2D/3D diagram creation, rendering, and animation if possible.

Beyond today’s instant model update, what can we improve?

Patch notes: - Fixed major issue where slider widgets were not affected by gravity. I sincerely apologize for this oversight.

They all realize KBJ’s completely incompetent. Even the liberals. The worst president in any of our lives, Joe Biden, also gave us the worst Supreme Court justice, KBJ, in any of our lives. Thanks, Joe.

@RichardHanania Simple problems are solved with simple solutions. It's not that hard.

No matter the poll, Bukele's approval rating is nearly always over 90%. In the last three polls, it's 93%, 93%, and 94%. I've never seen anything like this. We need to study this regime. The international community has massively underestimated the importance of public order.

@eastdakota Try some recordings of bass music live sets from Lost Lands 🦕

It's that time again: working on my earnings script. And since some of you are curious, listening to mostly Yung Lean, Nine Inch Nails, and some Boys Noize mashups.

@sindresorhus Objective-C and AppKit

Oh how I wish the Codex app was native. It's so slow lately... Why can they not just make Codex rewrite it in Swift?
