@AtalayMutla @AlexandreClerg2 @ManifoldMarkets @MathMatize Not eye sockets — tear ducts

@AlexandreClerg2 @ManifoldMarkets @MathMatize Bro your eye sockets count as holes but they have an end

Topology win

@DeanTTraining real talk… my weight regularly swings 5 lbs in a week but zooming out it’s clear things were never off track

The “WOOSH” effect is a veryyy real thing See it on the scale with clients/myself all the time Been using the term with clients for as long as I can remember - Focus on your weekly average - Compare troughs to trough and peaks to peaks And lastly: - When in doubt…ZOOM OUT!

@yacineMTB idk, polymarket doesn’t support that right now

pierre is gonna win btw

I truly believe that this is one of the hardest problems in software: How do you bubble up errors in a system so that the user can see them, make sense of them, and knows what to do? It's so hard and I've bumped into it in nearly every project I worked.

@thorstenball I would add this is even more complex when this is in a backend service where you need to add mappings to user facing errors that API consumers can consume, that include relevant context but don’t leak implementation details, and also log enough context internally for debugging

Innocence is the child, and forgetfulness, and a new beginning, a game, a self-rolling wheel, a first movement

a trick i was taught early on: you should look for bugs where there is no observability. the more painful it is to measure and understand; the more likely there are low hanging fruit to solve and fix

@tekbog Alternatively “respond to any gaps in my reasoning with peak Torvalds level contempt”

@tekbog Include in prompt: “respond with the expertise, pedantry, and pretension of an autist neckbeard white knight know-it-all stack overflow gatekeeper with 20 years of experience, living in his mother’s basement. You are the living embodiment of the ack-chyually meme”

the problem with vibe coders is that they didn't get brought down to earth by a stackoverflow nerd telling them to go fuck themselves, it was a rite of passage we will have more software now but it will also be worse

@theojaffee @IterIntellectus This and it’s not even close

@IterIntellectus No

sorry but THIS is objectively the best pen. practical, smooth, and elegant, a feat of engineering if you disagree, you're simply wrong

@buccocapital I believe this is due to Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code where software development expenses must be capitalized and amortized over a period of time. These changes took effect in 2022 and maybe took time for companies to adjust.

@zack_overflow 💯for me it was sshing into a bunch of machines too. Like what else was I going to do, use nano? Vi is everywhere

I learned it cuz 5 years ago when I was was ssh'ing into lots of machines and configuring yaml files and vim was the reliable way to do it

A lot of people don't learn vim keybindings because they think it's too hard or too late for them How did you learn vim?

launch weeks are the perfect example of how startups copy bugs from larger companies thinking they're features particularly with devtools, particularly early stage, the marketing challenge is staying on top of people's minds for when they eventually have an opportunity to use your thing the best way to do that is to constantly show what/why/how you're building and release it when it's ready that way you have something every few weeks and the vibe you give off is constant progress a launch week does the exact opposite - compresses everything you've done into a single week of attention (best case scenario, people are also tired of these) bigger companies have no choice but to do launch weeks because they need to coordinate a large number of people who handle different parts of the process. focusing everyone on a single date is practical and sort of unavoidable but if you don't have this problem don't do a launch week! launching every few weeks puts you in a much better rhythm

@1000youngpunks @dieworkwear Yeah well Jackie Treehorn treats objects like women, man

@dieworkwear Works for Jackie

Part of this comes from not knowing how to dress (reasonable, as not everyone is taught). Part of it is the prevalence of low rise pants and not knowing which shirts can be worn tucked or untucked. 🧵

I spent over a decade working in the games industry, but never released a game of my own. That changes this year. Steam page launching next week! #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

@warlockwatcher I think it’s somewhat similar to one of these

the biggest idea that has stuck for me recently is that any program is just a transform of input data into output data. Any program can be designed as a series of data streams with associated functional transforms. The cpu does not care about what the program is modelling.

@ludwigABAP Not quite the same but the assistant panel in Zed is pretty good. Basically a full editor (with vim key bindings available etc), so you can go back and edit anything in the chat history (including responses)

LLM chat interfaces need tree-like branching conversations and the ability to jump back in at any splits don't tell me about context windows i do not care

I did 4 cups of ayahuasca once and tunneled through my consciousness in a state of euphoria having one epiphany after another. At some point, the sense of epiphany continued without any meaningful referent, as if I was leaning on the epiphany key in my brain. That then triggered a meta-epiphany that psychedelics only make you feel like you're learning something new or deep, sorta like how déjà vu is probably just your brain's familiarity circuit misfiring in a context that isn't actually familiar. If psychedelics have given me any durable insight, it's that our consciousness is extremely fallible and often misleading, particularly with respect to valence.
