Bissell are sold for pets, all the marketing is about pets.

Using kaitai.io to create a parser for ZIM files, almost there.
I did write one manually in Go, several years ago.
There is a twist though, the Kaitai one was 100% AI generated with Qwen Max and Gemini 😲

Last night I've tested Qwen3 Next on a complex coding task, involving a C++ SDK and CGO, Gemini 2.5 pro completely hallucinated an answer and faked the code, where Qwen outputs did compile and did work first shot.
Next can run on consumer hardware 😲

My defunct iOS satellite pass prediction SatSat is back as WebSat and available at websat.inair.space #radioamateur

It provides transponder frequencies with Doppler effects.

As an ex Pythonista, one reason against async adoption is really that you have to taint all functions with async then maintain two APIs.

The same problem exists in the Rust ecosystem.

We just published a deep dive on spatial joins in DuckDB by @maxxen.bsky.social.

In this blog post, Max explains how spatial joins evolved in DuckDB and how the current operator harnesses R-Trees.

Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507 is pure joy, can run on consumer hardware, non-thinking (not too much token consumed) yet kind of self fixing itself.
What a time to be alive!

I just solved a complex/boring DevOps deployment issue, involving Helm, kube-state-metrics and custom CRDs, it could have taken me hours to figure it out. I've used Gemini 2.5 pro as a debug buddy, and it did it.
