I’m a software engineering mercenary, who plays with code, video games, and on occasion, design.

@thsottiaux On macOS the Codex desktop app often causes syspolicyd to eat the CPU alive. Specially on my work machine which has SentinelOne, which also likes eating the CPU alive. 50-250 load average on an 11-core M3 Pro is common… lol

@durreadan01 The reason devs adopt new technologies on iOS so fast is simply user upgrade rates for new major OS versions compared to Android.

iOS sees 25-45% of users upgraded after 1 month, and 80-90% after 12 months. Android has 1-3% and 10-20% at those same points respectively.

@durreadan01 While many apps have already been updated to support Liquid Glass, that screenshot is from Slack, which has NOT been updated with any support for Liquid Glass yet, except for the app icon back in July.

@browsercompany Why would Arc be uploading nearly 5GB of data per day to https://t.co/oiJW6JlNlq?

@avdi I use Emacs, but Shopify’s Ruby LSP is available there too, and is equally useless. I still use solargraph for Ruby. It has its flaws, but it does generally work and provide completions. And it also supports format operations via Rubocop, which I use for format on save.

This Friday I'm going to do another podcast streamy thing for the 20th anniversary of MAX PAYNE 2 (oh my goddddddd) hosted by @fraeon, ft @jimeh

I hope fellow Max Payne enjoyers come hang out with us 😊

@elonmusk Either of these are better.

"No way to create a backdoor that only the good guys can walk through."

Signal President Meredith Whittaker says the Online Safety Bill will cause "unprecedented paradigm-shifting surveillance" - in a discussion with @cathynewman and former UK Tech minister Damian Collins.

@Charalanahzard If it helps, I stopped scrolling / keeping up with my Twitter feed in my early 20s, back in 2010.

@JakeBuildsStuff Personally the longest I’ve ever been awake was around 71-72 hours, but importantly, not for work. And I’ve done a couple of 70 hour stretches with only about 1-2 hours of sleep while traveling. But no code was involved. And it was all before I turned 22… lol

[Jim Myhrberg @jimeh]

@JakeBuildsStuff Yeah, it’ll probably take another 40 man hours to fix the issues caused in the last 34 hours of that 46 hour straight work session.

@amiridis Ha, just saw a headline linking to a PSA from the FBI recommending people use ad blockers: https://t.co/yxrJ5FCV8U

[Jim Myhrberg @jimeh]

@amiridis lol… I know the feeling. I gave up a long time ago, and now I just try and modify the internet to my liking on device. I even use Dark Reader on all my devices to make every website have a dark mode.

The guitar and piano aren't that harmonious though, and I told ChatGPT as much also asking if it could fix it. It started writing out what it claimed was a more harmonious variant, but then just froze up halfway through. So no clue if it could fix it or not... lol

[Jim Myhrberg @jimeh]

I wanted to test if ChatGPT could create music, so I started by asking it: "lay down a sick rock drum beat with Sonic Pi"

[Jim Myhrberg @jimeh]

After all of that, here's the end result is this.
