Software since 1998. Ex-Apple. I smushed AppKit and UIKit together and never looked back.

Black lives matter. Trans lives matter. LGBT+ rights are human rights. Healthcare, security, a decent income, and housing with dignity are human rights. Abortion is healthcare. Science is our best hope as a species. Kindness and empathy are the noblest of human traits.

I block assholes and bigots.

Hey editors: Is there a way to automatically stabilize a shaky video by expanding the size of the video instead of cropping it down? A good example is the “Bigfoot stabilized” video:

Stabilized 1967 “Bigfoot” footage.

@titociuro A MacBook with a cellular connection should have been offered ten years ago SMH

I just finished the game Viewfinder and really enjoyed it. If you’re up for some optical-illusion puzzle type gaming, give it a try. It’s quite clever.

@breadbin I feel like Elon is what happens when mommy always tells you you’re very smart, and daddy doesn’t show affection.

So, Apple had $23.6B in profit this quarter. Their services had a record $23.9B in revenue. A good size chunk (roughly a quarter based on 2022 numbers) of that comes from Google search kickbacks.

That’s an enormous amount of profit but, yeesh, I kind of wish the company wasn’t so tied to services. I love product company Apple a lot more than I like iCloud storage Apple.

Man after spending the last week and half or so at work using TypeScript I'm back to working in our JavaScript codebase and I'm losing my damn mind.

#webdev

drahardja,
@drahardja@sfba.social avatar

@ghalldev I’ve just started studying up on TypeScript and IMO it should be mandatory for all JS projects. It gives such a wonderful balance of expedience and correctness, and it works around almost all of the common pitfalls of JS. It’s honestly a pleasure to use.

It kinda reminds me of working with Objective-C with lightweight generics—it’s just enough typing to help you avoid 80% of the common errors, but it’s neither pedantic nor required, and it trusts you to make the final decision.

drahardja,
@drahardja@sfba.social avatar

@ghalldev I think Swift is an example of static typing gone TOO FAR 😄. I was content with Objective-C with Lightweight Generics, and I also enjoy Python’s typing library, which has the same spirit as TypeScript, but perhaps not as elegant.

Me: Signals to turn left into a business driveway.

Him: Asshat trying to turn right out of the business but, because he's driving a giagantic Wankmobile, he can't make the turn so he turns wide INTO my lane.

Me: "Learn to drive that thing, you dipshit!"

Him: "Fuck you! Come here!"

Me: Puts car in park in the middle of the street, gets out.

Him: Sees me unfurl all 6'3", 260lbs of myself out of my little Jetta and headed his way. He wisely drives away quickly.

Fucking coward.

@KingShawn @TheJen I just roll my eyes when that shit happens. Sometimes I just stare disappointedly out the window while they do their thing. Sometimes they see me do it.

@ukuku But it saved Elon $1k per car, so it’s all good.

Even LIDAR is not going to give you the availability and reliability that you need for FSD. Ford’s BlueCruise has LIDAR and it still slams into parked cars. LIDAR resolution and refresh rates are still too low for real-time full self driving.

@ukuku It’s the unpredictability that kills the feature IMO. It’s one thing if I know when it’s going to work or fail, it’s quite another if it can fail at any time with no warning.

Also, this is another reminder to never elect a cop into public office. Eric Adams may be a Democrat, but he is a cop at heart. A cop will reach for the same tools to solve every problem, every time. https://ourislandgeorgia.net/@Wolven/112363354599879653

@paninid @Wolven YES and that is why I voted against Kamala for CA senator.

Never elect a cop into public office.
