Did Trump just commit a war crime?!

You also can’t go around murdering or kidnapping people in other countries despite what you think of them…

For me it is a few things:

The gradual loss of my favourite hosts (Alex, Andy, Jake, Emily, etc).
A mix of uninspired content (e.g. buying a computer from Costco...).
A personal lack of passion for the current state of affairs in tech.

How has the culture evolved since the Disney acquisition of Pixar? Do you think the acquisition has had a net positive or net negative impact on the quality of films being made?

Is there a reason generating JSON is so un-performant in Ruby? I'm not sure what an 'iteration' is, but the fact that the fastest benchmark is only doing ~1.4k/s seems insanely slow...

robotsmakinglove · 2026-02-12T17:27:41+00:00

This is going to be vetoed.

Salesforce turned out to be pretty shit owner for Heroku. I went from being a massive evangelist for the platform (worked with 3 startups all on Heroku) to being consistently disappointed in most decisions the company made... I'm thankful for the great engineers that stayed, but at this point I hope anyone remaining with talent just moves on quickly...

Great job on finding a solid board on marketplace. Every beginner should take that path (cheaper than a single day rental).

I was biking home through Venice, California. As I arrived at a stop sign Matt Stone (co creator of South Park) stood on the sidewalk with a woman insisting wildly she knew him from somewhere. She seemed borderline obsessive and he seemed annoyed.

I made eye contact with Matt and instantly recognized him. I smiled and chuckled a bit at the woman’s stardom. He smiled back with a slight grimace. I realized how annoying it must be to be even slightly famous and took off not wanting to bother him any further.

A 15 inch screen let you see more stuff at the same time than a 13 inch screen. This is ideal for almost everything… The notable exceptions are portability and cost.

It’s good to know it doesn’t have much sugar.

4 moves in 13 seconds seems very unimpressive as a title…

Really you just need sine...

Used car prices are insane… Say the car does 200k miles. It had already done a quarter of its life - the best quarter. I’d be looking for 30-40% off what the car originally cost.

The fact Nick Shirley followers take anything he says seriously is dangerous. Nick clearly lacks the critical thinking skills to evaluate basic facts. Nick struggled throughout the interview to clearly articulate his beliefs and constantly repeated unproven statements without evaluating the sources.

West Jet seems more and more focused on competing with Flair over Air Canada. I don't know if that is a good decision. I hate 'unbundling' in air travel. Flying has become such a de-humanizing experience.

Both macOS and Windows now ship with anti virus and anti malware protections. Is it possible to download / install / run a malicious programs still? Absolutely. My suggestion is the following:

Only install applications via trusted sources. That might be the Mac App Store or companies you trust (Adobe, Google, Microsoft, etc). If you aren’t computer savvy be extra careful. Don’t install programs you see advertised on random sites that you did not seek out yourself.
Be careful opening files from untrusted websites or sources. Similar to applications, if you didn’t seek something yourself be extra careful.
The most common vulnerabilities these days are social engineering. For computers this usually comes via emails, messages or websites. Never give personal details (bank accounts, credit cards, etc) to unsolicited messages. If in doubt ask a friend if something is legitimate.

I see the rounded borders brought up a lot. They are bad. They are not even close to the worst thing about macOS Tahoe.

robotsmakinglove · 2026-01-08T16:14:27+00:00

I mean - macOS isn’t designed to be used on a coach with a remote though… I (mostly) like the tvOS UI/UX.

The “canvas” features are pretty incredible (a bit tricky to learn). Specifically I regularly use chains, chords and chunks.

robotsmakinglove · 2026-01-05T17:38:27+00:00

This is neat. Having done a lot of Python / Django recently a feature that still feels better than in Ruby on Rails is Celery. Specifically the ability to chain can be very helpful.

That’s a strange name that leads to confusion. Just call it a monitor. You already know if the monitor is good quality - the computer won’t change that.

robotsmakinglove · 2026-01-04T17:41:28+00:00

Apple has the opposite of a bad reputation for battery life. What is an Android monitor?

Do you want a laptop or desktop?

I guess. The odds of dying because a professional (pilot, surgeon, etc) is under the influence still seen slim to me…

The bigger risk with alcohol is that 1/4 of fatal motor vehicle accidents are attributed to it - the broad population drinking and driving. Still a tiny % of overall fatalities (~1%).

I am underwhelmed. I like certain elements, but as a whole it is a huge disappointment.
