    What are these NFT people smoking? How is this a future that's likely and aspirational? That sounds absolutely horrible.

    I don't want to say anything but that's not the right license Mr Copilot.

    Software engineering is 90% database and 10% frontend.

    My driver is using a web hosted version of ORF teletext to figure out the status of planes at the airport.

    I finally managed to automate my IKEA IDÅSEN desk. I can now make it go to my favorite position via two shell commands (stand-up/sit-down) without having to keep buttons pressed.

    I’m quite seriously considering live streaming some of my Python/Rust programming. Would people be interested in that?

    Today in timezone madness: Lebanon had a last minute announcement of DST postponement. The Olson database complied. Now there is a dispute if it happens, and *parts* of the government reversed it. The country now has two timezones concurrently depending on who you ask.

    Fascinating. Audi's car configurator uses webrtc to stream the 3D view from some remote rendered service instead of using WebGL in the browser. Really want to know what lead to that engineering decision. The latency is awful and the render quality is quite low resolution.

    Fun fact: because of all the metadata, the javascript community downloads "isarray" in the excess of 100GB a month from npm. For a one liner

    I think GraphQL is quickly moving to one of my least favorite technologies. Building an efficient query system for the server is almost writing a database and as a user it has a lot of rough edges. Good idea but man is it complex.
