Why would you spend a second thinking about the Roman Empire when you could think about the rise and fall of Lisp machines in the 80s

His self-titled record is one of those albums where the louder you play it, the more subtleties you notice in the production. A classic

The new record’s growing on me. His Blackbird Spyplane interview makes him seem cool again

I helped SoundCloud move the vast majority of our backend to the JVM also due to maintainability and scaling issues
Rails never went away, but that was not by choice but rather a compromise
Rails is great for many things but requires employing a lot of dedicated people to scale

For some reason, local NIMBYs seem to want this site to remain a depressing sprawl of mostly-vacant mall buildings. Very happy to see a pro-housing and pro-family plan move forward in Marin!

Pretty telling that I check Twitter and its wall to wall stuff about whatever GOP event happened tonight.
When Twitter was good, this would be “below the fold on the explore page” type shit

If non-alcoholic beer is the official drink of trail running these days, how is one supposed to get tipsy and sign up for races they’re not qualified for?

It is very personally weird for Twitter (a place I used to work) to be adopting the cryptic, unintuitive name of @Theteamatx (another place I used to work).
“I work at X” is a statement that never stops feeling awkward and invariably requires further explanation.

@lexr tells me that this is the oldest parenting joke on the internet. If zoomers can reboot pop punk, then I can reboot this joke

The new Indiana Jones movie sure came and went without anyone on earth talking about it. I don’t even know the title.
