This dude on CNN keeps saying "your eyes don't lie" but they use these circles (2d, area focused) to represent a 1-dimensional value. I want to mail him a copy of The Visual Display of Quantitative Information. Your eyes *do* lie and that is specifically an example of how.

TIL LLVM-based compilers support -Rpass-missed=.* so you can see what optimizations were missed. -Rpass-analysis=.* gives the reasoning behind it.

I'm working on a product and building the components separately. So far, auth is the hardest part by a long shot. It's been maybe 3x harder than the product itself?

PNG has this clever way of marking chunks so a tool might not understand the chunk but does understand it should be kept after an edit. It is a brilliant, small detail that enables a lot of power. Unfortunately, pretty much every tool just ignores it. :'(

What are you favorite cheap & cheerful bits of programming? I think for me it is loops that go to zero. Maybe also 'auto' typing.

wtf?? You know, I think my experience was a 4, with a hint of 2.

You know how movie makers story board--so they can change it while it is cheap? In AI coding, part of that goes away. But part of it is more important now. It is easier to make changes. But pure vibe coding is ~directionless. Think AI image "slop" but in architecture, too.

Mountain of Woe?? Yeah right! This place is paydirt. Farm this specific rock, charm weapons that sell for a ton...

Chrono Trigger on PC only has achievements for seeing the different endings. *THIS* should be an achievement. Spekkio has different forms depending on your level. And it is difficult to get to him in the level 1-9 form.

W3C hosts a yearly event called TPAC. I have to intentionally not say or type "Tupac".

This article..."Caching an immediate-mode UI"... Brother, that's retained-mode.

When tech companies measure their uptime, I feel like it would be fair to not include when someone else messes up their BGP settings. However, the end user doesn't care what a BGP is. To them, it is down. From that perspective, I feel like it should be included.

Today's Fireship video is about stereotypes of today's programmers. One of them is the old, jaded programmer. "He is in his mid-30s." Ouch. youtube.com/watch?v=zv6B6PQO…

TIL about the ud2 x86-64 instruction. And the retroactive ud1 and ud0. Neato.

Out with "hill I'll die on". In with "garden I'll tend to".

I wanted to point this out but was too lazy to make a clip. I like the Peter Pan shadow thing :D
