At my latest competition I booked a 29.5s time for solving a Rubik's Cube. The judge at my station said "Wow", not because it was an amazing time, but because they never expected a random old dude to score it. Defying expectations, FTW. https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/persons/2023JALK02

@jsnell I'm learning Dutch a bit, and today I learned that to say "fast" you say "snel" ...

Has anybody else noticed Safari cookie retention getting really bad in macOS 14.5? Looks like it's not an issue with Safari Technology Preview so hopefully something that will be fixed in 14.5.1.

For the second time in a month I have spotted a @hypercritical t-shirt in my town! This time I stopped the friendly fella and took a picture, asked his name, his mastodon.social ID, etc., and ASKED if I could post it. The only problem? I forgot his username! Does anybody recognize him?

I don't know why the Apple Card, which 99% of customers probably set up with Apple Pay and never actually use the card, is made of titanium. And shipping the card back (with gas, labor, etc.) to save $0.50 of Titanium feels weird, too.

A nation releases its collective breath. Trump guilty on all counts. It's a start. The devastatingly misguided people who continue to support him will now have more to be ashamed about, when and if they ever wake up.

I go to fix one bug and pretty soon I'm revamping an entire interface. It's the story of my life. This is what happens when indie developers don't have product managers telling them what to do. The agony and the ecstasy.

I've got a cubing competition tomorrow, I mean, my kid has a cubing competition tomorrow, it's obviously not that important to me, and I don't care if I break any personal records. https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/persons/2023JALK02

To everybody who points out the shortcomings of Donald Trump's conviction, that he might not serve time, that he may yet win re-election, that he may win on an appeal, those things matter.

BUT what really matters is he is being held accountable. His grimace after the verdict told me everything: HE DOESN'T LIKE THIS. That is a big part of the justice, to me. It matters. A lot.

So many right-wingers dismissive of the justice system for the first time. I wonder how critical they would be if Donald Trump was Black?

Serious question: does this mean Trump can't visit Canada? Lucky Canada.

Can’t have a night out in the Mission without Cancun! When I first ate here the veggie burrito was $2.75. Now it’s $13.

Twelve years ago today, @buzz, @marcoarment , @commanda, and I sat down for a panel in Manhattan. I'm charmed that it's still up on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/43281396

I’m on a “pub crawl” through the Mission, starting at Pop’s on 24th and heading who knows where. Feels good to be back.

I keep going to the NYT home page, and I keep misreading the "Jury Hands Down..." headline as going somewhere else.

As time lurches forward, there's something to be said for keeping up with the cutting edge of technology. There's also something to be said for having a firm footing in the technologies of the past. The real movers and shakers will be well-versed in both.
