tl;dr, the developer of Bartender quietly sold the app to parties unknown about 2 months ago. v5.0.52 should, theoretically, still be fine, but consider turning off auto-updates.

Tired: This meeting could have been an email.

Wired: This startup could have been a spreadsheet.

"maybe we need this in the future" is a bad idea for writing good code. If we need that flexibility in the future, other things will have changed as well. Better do it then, not complicating matters now.

Turning down needlessly flexible code like a boss.

This is the kind of analysis paralysis I get myself into and then bail out of by making decisions largely based on vibes in the end.

I don’t do much Rust nowadays, or even follow it as closely as I used to, but this peek into a potential (and even possible) future is exciting: https://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2024/06/02/the-borrow-checker-within

"Paris has closed more than 100 streets to motor vehicles, tripled parking fees for SUVs, removed roughly 50,000 parking spots, and constructed more than 1,300 kilometers of bike lanes since Mayor Anne Hidalgo took office in 2014. Those changes have contributed to a 40% decline in air pollution..."

This seems like both a personal cry for help and an indication that you work for a dangerously dysfunctional organization

I feel personally attacked by this meme.

@robdaemon Oh, we just got an LG washer/dryer - this seems interesting, but I don’t know if this is worth hooking them up to the internet…

Self-described as “the disappointing love child of Frank Herbert and Ursula Le Guin” from James S.A. Corey? Alright, I’ll bite.

I still remember when we had some local government people over to our office as potential clients and they declined coffee from our kitchen.

So, is there a patterned fabric you can use to make a shirt that is anti-optimized for modern video stream compression, such that your meetings totally bog down for all participants because everyone’s client-side code is working so hard to encode/decode the wildly demanding images of your shirt every time you shift slightly in your seat?

Asking for a friend.

I mean, I’d prefer to work even less than this, but it would be a good start!

Good post on linkrot by @pluralistic

"38% of the web of 2013 is gone today. Wikipedia references are especially hard-hit, with 23% of news links missing and 21% of government websites gone. The majority of Wikipedia entries have at least one broken link in their reference sections. Twitter is another industrial-scale oubliette: a fifth of English tweets disappear within a matter of months; for Turkish and Arabic tweets, it's 40%."
