In the time since the #Ticketmaster queue stopped updating, I built a Chrome Extension to show you your actual place in line instead of the dreaded "2000 ".

Free throws at the half are 23-6 Knicks. Spurs called for 15 fouls, Knicks 10. Was not goaltending on Kornet. Good overturn on KAT hooking Wemby. Good flagrant on Robinson. The only real mistake they’ve made tonight has been no flagrant on Alvarado and the one OB play.
This officiating stinks lol. Holy smokes it’s bad.

A whole generation of developers is gonna be so cooked when they have to learn how any of this works post-AI-bust cycle.
What is this they are showing on screen at WWDC? Some form of coding language? Do people still type that sort of thing into Xcode themselves?!

This is tragic. You *can* get back to the nice scroll edge effects of iOS 26, but Apple is seemingly discouraging it.

Apple also updated guidance for scroll edge effects. developer.apple.com/design/h…

Today in "solving problems that only I have": I don't care about baseball. But the thing about living in Boston is, you never know when a Redsox game is gonna completely mess up your evening plans. ...So I made an app for that. Track your local team or venue. That's all.

If you'd told me at any point in my life that one day I would work on a sports-related side project, I'd have laughed in your face. ...but, watch this space ⚾️

Literally any trip away from NYC ever.
inventing the concept of a “reverse vacation” where you go somewhere worst than where you live to lock in .

Bragging about how much software you’re shipping with AI is like holding down the shutter button and bragging about how many photos you took.

If you’re scared that someone might think you’re (*gasp*) putting effort into your dates, you’re probably not mature enough for Hinge.
i had no idea that hinge launched these badges until someone asked me about them during a dinner convo i was having tonight. but having looked at them now i actually think these are going to do the exact opposite of their intended behavior. essentially hinge is trying to solve for engagement quality here, but the badge reveals effort, & in dating markets effort is precisely what you want to conceal. it’s a signal pointed in the wrong direction because you’re advertising your labor rather than your surplus. also the badge kinda creates a trap. the ppl most likely to earn it are either genuinely diligent or optimizing for the metric. but the ppl with the most options don’t need to message every match or review every like cuz they’re already overwhelmed. so the badge structurally selects against abundance. it’s an involuntary confession of your position in the market. they’re effectively trying to make a cooperation badge in what is fundamentally a competition environment. the behavioral norms they’re rewarding (thoughtfulness, follow through, etc) are prosocial norms that dating markets ruthlessly punish once you have leverage. so the badge basically says “i play by the rules in a game where the winners break them.” kinda funny. idk if hinge’s product team grasps this or if they’re just optimizing retention metrics & accidentally built a mechanism that sorts users by desperation. probably the latter tbh. anyway, if you love game design & incentive design in products like i do these are fascinating dynamics to think about.

I feel like the New York Times really needs to reconsider what it calls “breaking news”.
