Unsure why this is necessary when so few people see your Threads posts as it is techcrunch.com/2024/08/24/threads-confirms-it-is-experimenting-with-ephemeral-posts/
It is me, I am back! And after working too hard and becoming too dull I'm finally done* with that big app I've been working on.
I'm running behind on e-mails and need your best and worst takes for the next episode: podcast@searls.co.

I got so frustrated getting the runaround from my ISP that I filed an FCC complaint and… holy shit.
Government in action.
One thing I really dig about the AI/LLM boom is that it's the first time since the 90s that otherwise "non-technical" people in my life have had any reason at all to get excited about computer-ass computing.
Seeing friends and family get interested in how ChatGPT works while improving at how they use it is way more gratifying than the last 15 years of the industry merely training the world how to doomscroll.
I wrote this over the weekend. Whether you use Stimulus or just like reading discussions of nuanced code organization and design trade-offs, I hope you'll enjoy it justin.searls.co/posts/a-decoupled-approach-to-relaying-events-between-stimulus-controllers/
Part of the allure of Stimulus is that you can attach rich, dynamic behavior to the DOM without building out a long-lived stateful application in the browser.
The pitch is that each controller is an island unto itself, with each adding a particular kind of behavior (e.g. a controller for copying to clipboard, another for displaying upload status, another for drag-and-drop reordering), configured entirely via data attributes. This works really well when user behavior directly initiates all of the behaviors a Stimulus controller needs to implement.
This works markedly less well when a controller's behavior needs to be triggered by another controller.
If I were the judge tasked with breaking up Google, I would simply split it down the middle: with "Goo" getting search results starting with A-M and "gle" getting N-Z nytimes.com/2024/08/13/technology/google-monopoly-antitrust-justice-department.html

Boy, have I got a great show for you today! I guess. You be the judge.

The new Mac mini will be the first major design change to the machine since 2010, making it Apple's smallest ever desktop computer. The new Mac mini will apparently approach the size of an Apple TV, but it may be slightly taller than the current model, which is 1.4 inches high. It will continue to feature an aluminum shell. Individuals working on the new device apparently say that it is "essentially an iPad Pro in a small box."
I can't be the only person thinking "I wonder if I could plug this into a portable USB power bank, throw it in my bag, and then use run Mac Virtual Display on my Vision Pro without needing to carry a laptop… can I?
In general, it's great that you can call array and enumerable methods on relations in Active Record, but the way that's implemented (cleverly querying on the relation instead of considering if to_a
and doing the operation in memory would be more performant) is maddening at times.
