My holiday setup weighs less than a MacBook:

iPad Pro → 5G → Tailscale → SSH → tmux → Neovim → Codex → Hetzner

Side quests: testing Qwen and Gemma, evaluating https://t.co/7ZxTUGJlo1, and pretending this counts as taking time off.

Spending a lazy bank holiday finishing the bytecode implementation from Crafting Interpreters. Nice to get back to this after a long break. Now to build out the standard lib a bit more.

Agree with the sentiment but I really wish it looked the exact same as it did in 2010.
The changes on the website and the shutting down of 3rd party apps have been appalling. Ditto on Twitter.

Reddit reported a net loss of $90.8 million for 2023

How is that even possible? The site has looked the exact same and had the exact same functionality since 2010

I post these because car brands won’t.

VW ID3 electric ‘range’ — 424km

Dublin to Cork — 260km

Actual range for me today, from 100%, driving under speed limit — 233km (56% of advertised range)

I barely made it to Fermoy at 225km, 5% left (chargers in Cashel full, with queues)

Copilot for Outlook is very good and, as a result, is going to completely undermine how we all communicate with each other

Here's an example of it at work

It is going to be AIs talking to AIs, now. I wrote this a couple months ago, it is going to happen: https://t.co/keo9x68d5v

As the first AWS service, I almost forgot SQS is still stuck in XML land until I saw this announcement just now.

If you're using an official AWS SDK, there is no code change required on your part. Just upgrade the SDK to the specified version and it'll start making requests to SQS in JSON.

23% reduction of end-to-end response time and lower client-side CPU and memory use. It's the best kind of performance improvement because we don't really have to do anything 😎 (besides upgrading the SDK)

We’ve found the Book of Hours captured by Holbein in his famous portrait of #ThomasCromwell! Cromwell’s book is one of the few objects depicted in a Tudor portrait to survive. @TracyBorman has dubbed it “the most exciting Cromwell discovery in a generation - if not more.”
