Three years, sixteen thousand lines of @rustlang, split across four crates and one project. Say "hello" to Amp, a new text editor for your terminal: amp.rs

Arch is a gateway drug to NixOS wastedintel.ca/2024/07/25/arc… #nix #nixos #archlinux

> Awair is experiencing healthy growth … Your device will still perform the same quality air monitoring, but the data it collects will no longer be accessible via the Awair Home App. Growth is supposed to be good, right? Right?

@steveklabnik … to land in Microsoft’s hands, of all companies, felt like blatant misappropriation.

@steveklabnik As a Mac owner in the 90s, we didn’t get a lot of games. Marathon was extra special because of that. This is great!

Pierre Poilievre is a regular guy.

Pierre Poilievre’s strategy of playing an anti-establishment friend of working people is compelling, effective & dangerous. If this fake populist can con his way to power, the elite will have a field day. Our @thebreachmedia video explains his playbook:

@nshki_ @EmmaBostian You’re too kind. Miss you, Nishiki! 💖

Who was the best engineering manager you ever had and why!

@photoprism_app Would be cool to have one with a logo that’s just an outline of the circle and triangles. Too much print material can make a shirt uncomfortable. 😄

Might start selling some merchandise soon to help fund the project. Mugs, shirts and stickers - nothing out of the ordinary. Opinions?

A 2008 relic of computer code that solves no problem; causes dire externalities; offers no consumer protections; and has no intrinsic value (except that another fool can be induced to pay more for it), is not a panacea for fiscal woes. It's a Ponzi scheme. cnbc.com/2022/04/30/war…

@dylanatsmith @Fastmail I use a couple of custom domains for myself and my family and wanted to cutover seamlessly. Between the Gmail import feature and their domain tools, it was all very painless.

I can't believe there isn't a way to filter emails from people that aren't in your contact list in Gmail. You'd think the dominant player in email would have robust filters, but it's an awfully minimal feature.

@dylanatsmith Yeah, I have zero love for JS build systems, so I totally get this.

@dylanatsmith Apologies if this is one of those relationship moments where I should be in listen mode instead of fix mode.

@dylanatsmith I actually really enjoyed CoffeeScript. I use past tense only because much of its syntactic sugar is available in modern JS. You can always transpile it to modern JS and work with that. 🙂

@glenatron @rands This is the correct answer.
