Still can't quite believe that prompting o4-mini with "This code needs to be upgraded to the new recommended JavaScript library from Google. Figure out what that is and then look up enough documentation to port this code to it" worked
One of most tedious problems in software development is piecing together all of the details from a bunch of miscellaneous (and often incomplete) API documentation in order to fix some dependency issue you don't want to have to deal with https://simonwillison.net/2025/Apr/18/gemini-image-segmentation/#gemini-2-5-flash-non-thinking
小時候常聽到「吃止痛藥對身體不好」，這句話好像已經根深蒂固在我的腦海中。
其實頭隱隱作痛一整天了⋯但我今天腦中竟然都沒有浮現過吃藥的想法，明明才剛去神經內科拿完藥的。
其實醫生有告訴我，我大約3個月拿一次藥（一次約30次的使用量）這樣的頻率不算高，可以安心服用。
但我好像都會被這個想法影響所以就會忘記服藥或延後服藥。
希望現在吃完可以好好睡覺不要痛了😗

Have you ever studied Latin?
Update: test complete! Thank you all for helping 🩷
This was a test of content warning mechanics.
Findings:
- The search tab trending system excludes posts with content warnings from trending.
- Posting, and then editing to add a CW, also stops a post from trending.
- Removing the CW later will make the post eligible for trending again.
Note: I did not test if adding a CW would remove an *already* trending post from the trending list.
Thoughts: The way trending formula interacts with content warnings actively discourages accessibility by creating a situation where reach and accessibility considerations are at odds.
Hello mastodon. I could use some help. #fedihire
TL;DR: I was laid off a while ago, and the traditional "go scour job sites and apply" is currently broken. So - let's try social media. Please boost if you are willing, or pass this along if you know someone who needs what I can offer.
I'll be brief: I'm a very experienced System Reliability Engineer, with a track record of dependability and scalability. I take people's problems - stability, uptime, scale, cost, durability, speed, security and attack resistance - and fix them. I have the dubious honor of generally costing less to employ than I save my employer. If everything is perfect - you don't need me. But if you do, you may need me badly.
I'm available. Drop me a note.
I am located in Ventura, California, and strongly prefer remote work. I don't require visas or special accommodation to work in the US.
Here's a resume: https://www.bortels.us/TBortels_Resume_2025_public.pdf
Update: For anyone playing along at home, or seeing this for the first time - fear not! I am once again gainfully employed. Thanks to everyone who sent leads or encouragement. Let's hope I've learned from the experience ("Don't be a frog in a pot and hope things will get better if you just work harder and think good thoughts")
Having said that, it's not my forever gig. If you need an experienced security-focused SRE with a ton of AWS experience *who is only interested in remote work* - ping me, let's talk. I figure I've got 10 more years before I retire, act fast!
You can permanently set environment variables for your shell by putting them
in a startup file for the shell. The name of the startup file varies
depending on the shell - csh and tcsh uses .login, bash, sh, ksh and zsh use
.profile. When using bash, sh, ksh or zsh, don't forget to export the
variable.

Whenever I hear someone saying they're a vibe programmer.
Friend: what do you do?
Me: I am an app creator. I write apps for fun and profit.
Friend: wow. Very cool. What do you create?
Me: technical debt. It's the gift that keeps on giving... to my future self.

We’re calling it. It’s time to bring some texture back. Here’s a tutorial on going all-in by creating a wool texture. Who needs glass anyway?
Step 1: Create your basic shapes by drawing a rectangle and adjusting its corners.
Step 2: Combine your shapes, give them a gradient fill, and turn it into a Symbol.

話說，我一直有個疑問，想請教那些懂台語的。先說，我對於台語的認識很可能有誤，如果有錯還請不吝賜教。
問題如下
1. 請問台語的英文單字是什麼？我理解的是，台語是閩南語之中的「泉漳片」的一種變體，那我應該要怎麼用英語表示我們台灣人所說的「台語」？ Taiwanese Hokkien 或是 Taiwanese Minnan 或是怎麼指稱？
2. 請問前陣子有個議題是「臺灣台語」的爭論，為什麼前面的 Taiwan 使用的是「臺」，而後面使用的是「台」，我感覺能 get 到那個族群融合氛圍，但是我沒有辦法有系統的解釋為什麼要如此命名，有沒有懂的人可以論述一下？

これ、ほんとそうだよな...。「中国による脅威」を煽るのは沖縄に米軍基地を配置することの正当化をしているだけだし、侵略してきた側が「自分たちが侵略されている」という被害妄想をたくましくするのは、いまのアメリカを見ていると一般性があるのかもしれない。
この人、歴史の勉強してないんじゃないの? 沖縄は長く中国と貿易交流しており、歴史上侵略されたことはない。侵略してきたのは日本（薩摩）とアメリカだけだよ。脅威煽って現実見えてない

ActivityPub 5.8.0 for WordPress is out now! 🎉
This update includes two things I’ve been especially excited about: new email templates and user-specific notification settings.
Emails now have way more information—mentions and direct messages embed the full post, and the refreshed design looks more modern and polished. New follower emails come with a profile card to help you get a sense of who’s engaging with your content.
👉 Full changelog: https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/#developers
Another highlight from 5.8.0:
You can now embed any Fediverse post in the WordPress editor—even if it doesn’t support oEmbed! When no oEmbed handler is available, we automatically fall back to our custom embed view.
Basically: if it’s on the Fediverse, you can embed it. ✨
有能力的人，真的隨時隨地都為人著想，還有餘裕。
