Wake now, my merry friends! Forget the nightly noises! Ring a ding dillo del! I recently joined Antithesis, where I'm building a new browser testing framework called Bombadil. We're doing this openly, no stealth mode shenanigans this time: github.com/antithesishq/b…

@owickstrom My favorite was when I had Post abilities; you'd write a paragraph, find a misspelling, right click the red word and fix, and it'd duplicate the paragraph.

This is a fun bug (I think it is) on X: 1. Click the Post button, get a modal 2. Write some stuff 3. Resize the window so that it crosses a responsiveness breakpoint (supposedly implemented with JS) 4. Your stuff is gone

@jlongster Probably adding a few others later if possible, like attached/detached DOM objects, network in/out, etc. The idea is to later on write some default properties to detect possible memory leaks, and otherwise just expose this visually so people can detect weird patterns.

We're hiring for Bombadil! Come work with me on the future of browser testing — specification languages and temporal logic, JS runtimes, bundlers, and WASM frontends in Rust, and lots and lots of property-based testing. Apply here: antithesis.com/company/career… Retweets appreciated.

@GeoffreyHuntley Keep me posted. Got very curious about it after the S&T episode with Anil Madhavapeddy. Dreaming of building some small microcontroller thingy with my son and this sounded way more interesting than Arduino et al.

ngl, MSFT Orleans as an OCaml-based unikernel operating system is kinda rad.

Before the full write-up on the Boox Mira Pro for coding, here are some clips and close-up photos of it with nvim. I have a CLI and keybindings for quickly changing between "fast" and "slow" mode — one for reading and the other for writing. I also clear manually with a key.

@this_maru Both try to convey the most relevant information through minimal color use and instead typographic conventions

@owickstrom it’s pretty good! actually i prefer no frontlight because ghosting is less visible. switching to reading code in monochrome is harder than I expected tho
