The first real snow storm of the year happened overnight, and the city had the bike path cleared before I woke up. This is what it takes to build viable alternatives to driving.
Much thanks to the team that makes this look easy.
I have shipped several thousand lines of code this week and I didn’t write any of it. I had a strong hand in its creation, explicitly asked for all of it, and it was integrated into a codebase of hundreds of thousands of lines which I did write. But I did not edit a file by hand. Complicated refactors, new patterns, frame-based layouts, all done exactly to my standard with minor cleanup required. I do not care how you feel about that and you now know it is possible.

@chrisChris Alemany I commented (https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/@chris/115612771113881465) about the #PostSecondary review announced by the #BCNDP.
Today, on #socialBC I want to do a summary thread on this 145 page “State of Post Secondary in Canada 2025”.

このコインランドリー置いてたヒルトン系列のホテル、カウンターに行って俺のドル札両替してくれつったら「え、ここのキャッシャー札しかないし基本カードか NFC 決済しか受け付けてないけど？」みたいな感じで、結局翌日ヒルトン（本物）の学会会場でバイトのあんちゃんに半笑いされながらスタバで 100 ドル札をほぼコインで釣り返してもらうみたいなことになって厳しかった

Last week in a seminar we discussed a text that was largely about sexual violence, including mass rape during war. Heavy stuff.
One student admitted they had not read the text but worked off a ChatGPT summary.
They had no idea the text was about sexual violence. ChatGPT withheld that information.
This wasn’t just a minor error nor a typical LLM hallucination.
About a third of the text, arguably its most important part, went completely ignored because it didn’t match OpenAI’s content policies
it would be nice if cacheComponents had a verbose mode where it logs every cache hit/miss together with the key. i know you can do something like that by writing your own handlers but i don't want to write any code, i just want a debugging tool

personally i really appreciate that "use cache" by default stores in-memory when self-hosting, that's exactly what i want as a hobbyist. i wouldn't mind opting into that explicitly i guess
I hate elevators, so I take steps to avoid them.
fantastic explanation by @storyhb.com@bsky.brid.gy, also maybe first example i remember of a feature being more immediately useful (in a sense) self-hosted compared to serverless/vercel

tldr of that issue: "use cache" default handler when self-hosted only does in-memory caching. that doesn't work on serverless (and won't in close future). you can make your own cache handler or use "use cache: remote" which vercel does implement (but which counts towards usage)

Question to the #fediverse: what can be used as a replacement to Facebook groups? A Mastodon instance? Something else?
The only reason i still use fb is because of the many support groups that are active there.
Some have migrated to Discord but i don't like it as it doesn't have *indented* threaded replies like fb or Masto have, and thus making it hard to follow conversations.
