The local timeline of the pet.tax piexlfed https://pet.tax/web/explore is such a joyful presence to my day right now. 🐾

Too bad it's not possible to follow an entire instance - as a side effect that could also put helpful downward pressure on instance sizes #Pixelfed #FediAdmin

Well if this wave of #Pixelfed registrations keeps up, 2025 might be the year I learn about Kubernetes and helm (instead of just tweaking existing charts) #FediAdmin

@ai6yr is @nwsseattle_bot working properly or does the bot need some de-rusting as well?

This is the most comprehensive description of MCAS I've found for the #737MAX https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=L5KQ0g_-qJs

On the engineering side, this should have been caught by testing. Someone explicitly added a 5 second reset timer for MCAS activation without fully understanding if that was correct. Especially from a defensive programming standpoint, the question of what could go wrong == nose pointing down should immediately trigger guardrails. Sadly #boeing only blamed the pilots.

cc @gmmds if you have time I'm curious how obvious this is to an advanced player - the blunder I could have found with a bit of time, but calculating the correct line here is out of my depth

Queen c8 checkmate is soo close, so it was too tempting for me to go fxg4

However!! That runs into Qa1+ setting up a fork from the knight on e4. After all of it white is +1 instead of a winning +5

In the game Nxe4 was played without the in-between check, blundering mate in 1 for me

Both my opponent and I missed the nuances of this position in a #blitz game. White to play, what should your move be? #chess

"Don't call it a comeback" Ding awakens!

Obviously not at GM level, but if I put my knights out in front of my pawns I too would get crushed #chess #Ding #Gukesh #DingGukesh

If you're at all interested in #chess, this game 11 is wild, and promising to be a mad time scramble in the next 20 moves:

First Gukesh with the gambit try, then a misstep. Ding firmly in control but gave it away. Now it's anyone's game

After re-reading The Stone Sky (Fifth Season trilogy), I realized that Essun chose for three fates, not just two.

Leaving that resolution completely up to the reader is a jaw-dropping moment, once you realize.

A lot of times, I feel pretty embarrassed by my old code. I suppose that's a good thing.

However, I did go back and revisit my async service implementation and I'm still quite happy with the design: https://terminal.space/tech/introducing-async-service/
