My first app has made it’s first $1,000 Interestingly this all came in the 2weeks since I implemented a hard paywall AND set it to full price. Plenty of improvements to make but a good start.

@athcanft Thanks for sharing. What’s your % annual vs weekly subs?

not bad not bad

@isabelleboemeke @Heather_mom4nuk Hope the universe doesn’t dish out the same levels of irony to this post as it did the original 🙏🏽

Sex is good but have you tried saving California’s only nuclear plant and sticking it to the boomer anti-nuclear environmentalists?

@flightradar24 Just saw it out my window what

An Emirates A380 is heading to ... Newquay. Most probably for maintenance.

@ChamberofFit Should I take every set to 12 reps, or just one of my sets, before moving up a weight? Or is it situation dependent?

Something average gym goers need to implement ASAP Training in rep ranges Where people go wrong is thinking “do 6-10 reps” means picking a weight and simply doing between 6-10 reps Instead, pick a weight that is CHALLENGING for 6 reps And then keep the weight THE SAME week by week until you can perform 10 reps with it Once you can do 10, the next week you move up to a weight that’s challenging for 6 reps again Then repeat the process until you can hit 10 with that higher weight This is the double progression method that I’ve followed nearly my entire training career I’d guess 5% or less of people in the gym do this And I’d bet even less track their training diligently enough to effectively get the most out of it

@levelsio Everyone did it, so it’s no longer a way to stand out and be cool

When I see laptops full of stickers nowadays it looks kinda cringe to me It was normal though 10 years ago I wonder what exactly changed in culture to make it cringe?

@burkov Switched to Gemini and its handling things much better

@burkov It's not just this, its capabilities appear to have downgraded too? Tasks it was completing well before now are filled with errors.

Since the update two days ago, Claude's UI has become dysfunctional for coding. It cannot see the content of pasted artifacts. For example, it asks you to provide the code for file X. You paste it, and it responds, "I see your message, but there's no code in it." When it sees these pasted pieces, it can only see a fraction of them, because the UI cuts most of it and replaces it with "." Now, neither Claude nor ChatGPT can be used for coding in the UI. The only choice you have is Gemini 2.5 Pro in the AI Studio, but I have a feeling that Gemini 3 will have this agentic shit too. Prepare to pay big bucks for API tokens, folks. The honeymoon is soon to be over.

@BortnykChess Danya taught me almost everything I know about chess. From 400 to 1800. I’ll be rewatching his speedrun videos as I try to keep climbing. I’m so sad about it, I can’t imagine how you feel. Thank you both for inspiring and helping us noobs to improve.

You were more than just a friend — you were like a brother to me. I’m gonna miss you so much. R.I.P. Legend.

@TheFirmBL_ AI written, blocked

@Serena_Partrick @Glinner Have you read ‘what’s our problem’ by @waitbutwhy , helps put things in perspective for people maybe.

@Glinner For clarity, I mean the people inhabiting the two worlds. How do we heal our societies?

We really are living in 2 different realities. Is the man arrested for Charlie Kirk's murder a radicalised "progressive" in a family of Republicans, who was living with his trans identified boyfriend, & wrote antifascist slogans on his bullets? Or was he a "groyper", angry Charlie Kirk was not far-right enough? All the evidence I have seen points to the first, but people who believe themselves sane, intelligent, unswayed by propaganda, forcefully tell me the second is true. How do we bring these worlds together? Because we must.

@TaintlessRed Yeah. That’s how I read it. Tired of the drama and upset he had to ruin that relationship.

Watched Isak's 1st interview. Clear he's determined to win trophies, also the long difficult time he's had this summer has had an effect on him, not only that he lacks any match fitness but it's mentally draining. He looked tired and relieved the saga's over more than anything.

@Sean_Rogers And Glasner will be off to United before Jan.

Never ceases to amaze me how badly football clubs are run Shows the importance of smart owners and crucially a top Sporting Director Palace have likely lost equivalent income of approx 15% of their ANNUAL turnover by not selling Guehi today

@AnfieldSector Gomez to Palace then?

CLARITY: Igor not related to Marc Guehi's transfer to Liverpool. My fears have been realised.

@AnfieldEdition We scored the only goals Bournemouth, Newcastle and Arsenal have conceded

✅ Only team with the perfect start ✅ Top of the league Liverpool FC.

@AnfieldSector lol yes

Szoboszlai has been fantastic today, best player so far?

@RobGutmann It would be insane to sack another manager at the start of a season … so I expect they’ll do it

Into the realm of ‘three games to save his job’. They need to beat Burnley, and beat them well, to stop the United board using the international break as the ideal time to assess the manager market.

@mattladson He’ll be at right back and moving into the midfield I suspect. Will be interesting to see.

Arne Slot effectively saying Mac Allister and Gravenberch to start vs Newcastle. Dropping Szoboszlai from midfield for this game would be a huge risk IMO. But perhaps he’s now needed at right back. That midfield balance is going to be interesting to see.

@alexcooldev Where do you put the review ask?

I got: 1.2K reviews on the App Store. 4K+ reviews on the Play Store. ⭐ Avg: 4.5 Reminder to myself: - Good marketing + bad product = fail faster - Good marketing + good product = sustainable growth

Too many still think of China as it was decades ago instead of the accelerating peer it has already become. China has immense second-mover advantage and they are not afraid to take on the big, bold projects that once defined America...they built a 16 GW dam in 4 years, rapidly ramping all forms of power to meet demand including nuclear (you don't even want to compare timelines or cost between USA and Chinese plants), a ~380 mile water tunnel under construction, the largest ultra-high-voltage grid moving power efficiently, 25,000+ miles of high-speed rail, a planned 100 PW laser, they achieved a record fusion plasma demo, a tested quantum-encrypted satellite network, they for all purposes own global shipbuilding to influence trade, AI on the cheap, operational Mach-30 wind tunnel, already fielded hypersonics and atmospheric waverider weapons, sixth-gen fighter prototypes on display, humanoid and armed robodogs manufactured at scale and a space program with imminent reusable tech, fresh lunar samples (including from the far side of the Moon) and a space telescope project with a FOV 300× Hubble’s and expected at a fraction of the cost. Not to mention, they have line of sight on a moon landing in far less time and lower cost than the 100B we have invested over the last 35 years. This is the first true geopolitical competitor we have faced since the start of the Cold War--and we don’t want to lose.

Always keep backups. Wtf.
