Now that I've seen the first trailer of Project Hail Mary, I'm cautiously optimistic that they didn't fsck up one of my favourite books of the past five years 🥳

Big spoiler warning though: If you haven't read the book yet, IMHO you should consider avoiding the trailer, at least its second half. You have been warned 😉

I wrote a new article for Frontend Masters: Step Gradients with a Given Number of Steps!

Consider this problem: you are given 2 hex codes + a number of steps. How would you code a step gradient? Think about it, then see my solution frontendmasters.com/blog/step-

Hope you enjoy, a lot of work went into it.

So uh, is anyone looking to hire a developer with an uncomfortable amount of knowledge about and , experience building from scratch and running a social network (@ludumdare.comLudum Dare), hacking on GPU drivers/network protocols/the Linux kernel, plus a couple decades as a pro gamedev? 🤷

I was going to say something about sections of Canada Post's website being "down for maintenance" until July 2nd, but you know what, no. It's a good thing when your operations/security/etc staff get to have holidays off like normal employees, so now I think more websites should be "down for maintenance" at various times so people don't have to staff monitoring or answer pages 24/7 through holidays.

We've sped up so much that we don't ask how we can slow down any more.

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber my only complaint is the range of rotation assumes you're looking at it from a seated or standing position, and you can't really mount it for laying down underneath one. I've found that vesa mounts for use in bed is a criminally under served niche. You'd think this use case would be the sweet spot for accessibility tech since there's a broader marketing segment of "lazy" people, but the main thing I've found is those expensive scorpion chairs.

A sort-of followup to "Show Me The Pull Requests" - linkedin.com/posts/kittylyst_a (original post here: mastodon.social/@kittylyst/114 )

Thanks to @simonSimon Willison for pointing me at this one. /cc @davidgerard

A sort-of followup to my "Show Me The Pull Requests" post (https://lnkd.in/dWpx6RrK) | Ben Evans

A sort-of followup to my "Show Me The Pull Requests" post (https://lnkd.in/dWpx6RrK) Sine posting that, people sometimes send me PRs as data points, just like I asked. And special thanks to Simon Willison for sending me this one! It's a compiler optimization for LLVM regarding the very-common ASN.1 data representation: https://lnkd.in/dHmCsEKT Alex, who wrote this PR, has a great write-up about it: https://lnkd.in/dHfhxQPU My biggest takeaways from this is that we are starting to see data points emerge for my initial challenge - that there are ways to use these tools to develop new capabilities. But there is a great deal more caution and guarded language from folks like Alex (who actually works at Anthropic) and Simon as compared to the LinkedIn hype and froth that gets posted every day. This is still very much a human-in-the-loop force multiplier as driven by an expert-level user. I would describe it as being more akin to using a REPL to speed up development than a wholesale replacement of the toolchain. My own experiments with it tend to align with this - I am getting some utility out of it but it needs much more insight and verification from the user than some people would have you believe, and the gains are force-multiplying, not game changing. I'm also not paying for any of the tools I'm using. I remain extremely skeptical about how much money there is actually to be made in this space and whether the current pricing is sustainable in the long-term. There also remain major questions about the ethics and resource utilization involved.
