I moved back to my birthplace, Los Angeles, last year, and with it came a flood of memories and reflections. So much of who we are is defined by where and how we grew up. I tried to distill my thoughts into a memoir on "upward mobility" for @puddingviz. pudding.cool/2022/11/upward…

@albertocruz 100 percent. Incredible performance!

Basement Jaxx's album Remedy came out in 1999. Rooty in 2001. Kish Kash in 2003. Their music still sounds like it was made yesterday. Their Coachella show is a testament to what live electronic music acts should be. #Coachella2025 #BasementJaxx

i'm on the job market with a paper about political sorting in the labor market! it's perhaps harder to choose your coworkers than your friends or who you follow on twitter -- could the workplace be less segregated than other places where democrats and republicans tend not to mix?

Today is also my last day at the paper after nearly 13 years, and this will be my last column. I'm grateful that it happened to be one about saying goodbye.

@bedrockcomputer Really loving this idea. New hardware/software paradigms are needed!

The fax machine and the desktop PC interface were both invented in the 1960s. It's time for something new.

@tannerlinsley @tan_stack Brilliant

So it turns out that if you add a few more lines of output to @Tan_Stack Router's routetree codegen and allow the generator to look for separate .route, .loader ,and .component files and create a few more type safe utilities and expose another declaration mergeable interface, you can get: Type safe, auto-code-split lazily imported route loaders/components.

@TheMilfGod Honestly this is better
