As a product, I find the nintendo music app so interesting: who pitched it? How'd it get funding? What user/market research lead to its development? Intuitively, you wouldn't think that a whole music streaming service of ONLY nintendo music would work - but it is actually excellent.

RT @Itsfoss: Grub is KING

RT @tsoding: Understanding is the noblest of pursuits. People who actively strive to understand are pushing against uncertainty. People who give up on understanding are willingly falling into chaos.

RT @grhmc: The @DeterminateSys team has been singularly focused on patching and mitigating the vulnerabilities released this week. We’ve shipped massive rebuilds to Determinate Secure Packages customers in just hours, and we’re more polished than ever. I’m real proud.

RT @heavybit: On episode 45 of @opensourceready, Brian Douglas (@bdougieyo) and John McBride (@johncodes) speak with @dotta about @papercliping, an open-source platform for managing teams of AI agents. They explore what happens when agents produce more work than humans can review, why permissions need to extend beyond a separate computer, and how engineering judgment changes when writing code becomes easier.

RT @telmudic: statically linked, self-contained software applications rn

I love mono typefaces: they are the ideal way to read code, are easy on the eyes, and I've always felt they provide a certain retro/future-elegance. Currently, I am really enjoying Nordwand

RT @southpolesteve:

Let’s be clear: AI-assisted cyber attacks are NOT an excuse for pure negligence. OpenCode’s security posture has always been terrible: let us not forget the baffling OpenCode cross-origin RCE vuln from last year that let anyone execute whatever code they wanted on a local OpenCode HTTP server! I have not recommended OpenCode since then and have watched in horror as the team has ignored open source requests to harden the service and make it more transparent. Security is very rarely a technical problem: in my experience, it’s almost entirely cultural. You CAN make your services ironclad: you just have to believe in putting the time and energy into actually doing it. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

RT @johncodes: Amazon did collapse: the stock in the dotcom bubble crashed down to 6$ from 100$. Amazon only survived because Bezos somehow by a miracle found 600m$ in the bond market weeks before things froze up on 2000. Jassy then saved the company with AWS from 2000-2005 by turning it from a low-margin internet company to an actual hyperscaler that could "spin the flywheel". Let's not do a revisionist history on Amazon: it is a miracle it survived after such a crash.

You Can See Everything is a masterpiece: a re-reckoning of truth, Silicon Valley’s worst “fail fast” and “fake it till you make it” cultures. It examines the often perverse incentive-through-lines in business, entertainment, media, politics, and everything in between. The result? You leave questioning everything: questioning if you did in fact see everything.

RT @bdougieYO: AI needs new infra

RT @kepano: a few of my sketches from working on the Pele logo

RT @ThatEricAlper:

RT @kepano: This is Pele, my new rendering library for diagrams and charts, compatible with the latest Mermaid syntax. - 100-500× faster than mermaid.js - 6× smaller bundle - No dependencies - Easy to theme - Responsive to device width In pursuit of making Obsidian insanely fast and cohesively designed, I always found the Mermaid library to be too big, too slow, and too hard to theme. Pele will be the new renderer in the next version of Obsidian, but you can start using it now. Pele [ˈpɛlɛ] is named after the goddess of volcanoes and fire. It's open source under the MIT license.
