So, at Amazon, we have a huge ecosystem of internal systems that have all sorts of goofy names and weird interdependencies. A colleague of mine left, I inherited a bunch of his technical assets, and now I have to go around shutting things down, deleting things, etc. But the process is always […]

For those of you new here, may I do a reverse thing and recommend some follows of existing Fediversians including but not limited to

@tayfonay
@WrenArcher
@Waitnwallflower
@LikeItOrLumpIt
@the_etrain
@TheBreadmonkey
@TheEddieShow
@AppleFangirl
@TwoClownsEating
@Alice

The list could go on and […]

Some more highly recommended follows, cuz why not, right?

@ScotchTape
@duchess
@pluperfectidiot
@deviwestside
@thesociophi
@coffeeinhand
@LadybugLane
@burritozen

Let's make em feel super welcome.

@chrisjrn @glyph @chrisjrn.fyi I've already addressed the matter of uploading edits. If you want to continue to discuss that aspect, how about we do it in a separate branch of the conversation? You can reply to my post above where I talked about uploading content and whether it would be used as […]

If you're trying to get folks to ditch #bluesky in favor of the fediverse, maybe instead of sending them needlessly complicated explainers, something like this might be useful.

@glyph @chrisjrn @chrisjrn.fyi In this case, with respect to the idea of incorporating incompatibly licensed code into my project, I would indeed rely on the suggestions being too small and not original enough to incur copyright violations, and also on the process producing the same code I would […]

@chrisjrn @glyph @chrisjrn.fyi Not necessarily. (I assume you're talking about *my* edit history, right?)

ML models like this don't necessarily use the edit history as training data; it could be used only to query the model and then discarded, which would eliminate any concerns about other code […]

@glyph @chrisjrn.fyi I accept the suggestions if they match what I was going to type anyway. Or if it's not exact but close, I might "accept" in the sense of hitting Tab, and then I go back and change the parts it got wrong, if it takes fewer/easier keystrokes than manually typing out what I […]

@glyph @chrisjrn.fyi What AI suggestions am I supposedly proposing as PRs?

@chrisjrn.fyi Interesting proposal they're making there.

I've been tinkering with the AI-assisted autocompletion in #pycharm recently - only on open source projects so no concerns about code privacy - and it's been slightly helpful but overall a very mixed bag. It'll be interesting to see if it […]

Did you know that your IDE might be causing you to breach the terms of your employment agreement?

That's probably worth checking (both your IDE and your employment agreement).

Let me start with your IDE: blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2025/09...

Yes, when I pay for this app (which shall remain nameless for now) I definitely want to see stats on how many paid features I've been using in a recurring modal popup that blocks me from accessing said paid features 🤦

@SnoopJ 😮

uh... wow

«Lessons in humility & simplicity for 'data science': Garmin's health status»

I blogged about how another #wearable manufacturer went down the road of leaving up data interpretation to humans instead of automating it – and how that relates to "AI" or "automated decision making"

@Artemis201 huh 😵‍💫

I guess if they're going to subject us to that, there'd better be a few cards with really good pizza art

@aburka I can't wait until the inevitable arguments over whether types adhere to cells, leading to a fork between FreeTypedBrainfuck and BrainLessFuck

Hello all.

Mastodon does NOT solicit paid verification.

Looks like there’s a new version of the fake ‘Mastodon Team’ phishing attempts that are targeting new users by replying to Introduction posts.

Again, please alert new users, and please report and […]

Things #Monsterdon Loves:

*Lovingly crafted practical effects
*Songs that describe what happened in the movie
*Sweaters

My friend @fjbh, who is not active on Mastodon, made a cool tool to find PBS sites that need funding the most called Keep Media Public (keepmediapublic.org) 1/2

Speaking of image alt text, as a photographer who tries to put care into this, I would really love it if there were a single standard EXIF field in which alt text could be embedded and from which the text was reliably extracted when the image was uploaded. It would be much easier to write a […]

@RachelThornSub That is interesting! If anyone (else) pointed it out during the stream, I missed it.

It makes a lot more sense than "Thrilling Bloody Sword" as a title, that's for sure

#Monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature #monstermiru #thrillingbloodysword

Also, I’m sure others have already pointed it out, but there is nothing in the original title about “blood.” It actually means “Divine Sword Moves Mountains and Rivers” (神劍動山河). Considering that it was made for children (I think? Were they even thinking of a target audience?), “bloody” was a […]

The busiest moment was the skeleton dissolving and falling down the stairs.
