Morgan, after I finally connect to the WiFi: “Why does everything take so long on Linux? Because you have to make a thousand GUIs?”

This is a warning to not run `nixos-rebuild switch` after updating the unstable channel on Amtrak wifi

Still not _quite_ what I’m looking for in a lexicon catalog, but still very useful
📣 Exploring and interacting with lexicons with the help of your favorite agent is a little bit easier now!

We've rolled out llms.txt endpoints across the site, and also released a feature rich MCP that allows you to invoke authenticated XRPC functions.

RIP to programmers with social anxiety who now have to talk to their computer to accomplish things
i think it’s triggered by episodes when it doesn’t work very well. it seems connected to language.

it triggers some kind of new wrong to feel that explaining things in language didn’t quite work. not that it always works with people either but this feels distinctly unnatural and confounding

and i'm not the first to say this, but it is a grave mistake that folks want to cede an important technology to the right

we fight for technology so that we can direct it towards good ends. we don't just let the other side take good tools because we don't like how they use those tools

I love the sound of this all-ceramic keyboard, but I wouldn't recommend it to a typist. Just go and tap on a toilet bowl with all 10 fingers for a couple minutes and you'll roughly understand why

Are there are any good tools out yet for exploring existing published lexicons?

Tired but caffeinated to the point where every 30 seconds I blink and go “what am I looking at” but continue autopiloting

I created an Apple Shortcut for iPhone that lets you quickly generate accessibility alt text for images using Apple’s Private Cloud Compute model — it’s accurate & the prompt is based on Harvard’s alt text guide
