People often hold up apps like Linear as paragons of software quality. In many ways it's great – fast, pretty design, slick animations, etc. But the definition of quality should also include accessibility. It's hard to hold up a UI as "high quality" with lots of basic issues.

@ObbeVermeij Are you able to enable federation, so you can be followed on mastodon? Thanks! theverge.com/24107998/threa…

@devongovett I’ve started building something for myself that pulls in items from GitHub/Jira/Google Docs/etc. and lets you personally prioritise and schedule them. Early days but would something like that be useful for you?

Is there an app that lets you queue/prioritize GitHub issues/prs that you need to review/respond to? My notifications are an absolute mess. I'll often see something but not respond to it right away and then completely forget about it.

@SergeyStavisky @ucdavis Congratulations!!

I'm honored to have been awarded one of two early-career @ucdavis School of Medicine Research Awards! 🎊

Google is dead beyond comparison

@simonw I'm guessing the context for this is github.com/oven-sh/bun/is… ?!

Best joke about Bun and package.json yet

@SalvMattera Exact same experience with my partner. Really disappointing. They did help with seeing a rheumatologist faster though

I went to the UC Davis long COVID clinic just to see if they would have any suggestions or want to do any testing I hadn't already considered. Unless you need referrals to specialists, I would not waste your time.

@KurtKohlstedt I bought the UK editions of the Harry Potter ebooks on Kindle to get the British spellings/slang. A few years later I noticed they’d been silently swapped for the US editions, except the first which just disappeared because Philosopher’s-> Sorcerer’s

And *this* is why when curious people see my e-book and say 'oh, I've been thinking of getting a Kindle!' I always respond: 'go with a Nook instead,' b/c it supports epub books that can be moved between different devices (rather than locking you into one toxic ecosystem). 📚

@NewsBlur Exciting! What motivated the move?

Time for a big server transition. I’m moving the servers from Digital Ocean to Hetzner. Every database server (postgresql, mongo, redis x 4, elasticsearch, prometheus, consul, and sentry) is making the move. I’m going to do it all at once, which means about an hour of downtime.

🧵 The historic NYT v. @OpenAI lawsuit filed this morning, as broken down by me, an IP and AI lawyer, general counsel, and longtime tech person and enthusiast. Tl;dr - It's the best case yet alleging that generative AI is copyright infringement. Thread. 👇

At Google it sometimes felt like all we ever talked about was problems related to version skew. And then I Google the term & there isn't even really a definition, let alone much documentation. So, I wrote a basic blog post with examples & how to handle it industrialempathy.com/posts/version-…

Someone figured out you could use Stable Diffusion (+ControlNet) to adapt QRs into images while still having them work reliably: reddit.com/r/StableDiffus…

We just shipped the first alpha of React Aria Components, a brand new unstyled component library built on top of the React Aria hooks! 🚀 It abstracts away glue code and provides a much simpler way to quickly build accessible components for your design. react-spectrum.adobe.com/react-aria/rea…

A really interesting article on how AI/LLMs can be effectively used in education. It’s pretty clear that these tools are going to be a big part of life and work going forward, and learning how to use them effectively is important oneusefulthing.substack.com/p/my-class-req…

Quick peek at what this weekend did to some Sierra reservoirs-plus-snowwater storage numbers (thru yday). Getting some water into these reservoirs and lots of sloppy snow up there above them. (More will be posted at @CnapRisa later when more data shows up.)
