I use dark mode on almost everything but for some reason not GitHub. I don’t know why but I can’t do it there. I just get lost.

🧠⚡ Debugging just got a whole lot smarter! In this stream, we'll see how Tobi Vollebregt, Software Engineer at Square, used Goose to track down a sneaky BigQuery rate limit issue, without spending hours in logs. 💡 Goose pulled data, parsed responses, and generated visual

I did a little experiment with Goose to see how much it can control my computer. I got it to play music, dim my screen, research, and organize data in a CSV file. Try it yourself: block.github.io/goose/docs/tut…

GPU smuggler. Decades of sci fi experience why didn’t we think of this for plot material.

This day in 1979 the Sony Walkman was released, everyone loves it now, but nostalgia tends to forget pessimism - after all - how could anyone have thought the 'good old days' were bad? newsletter.pessimistsarchive.org/p/the-forgotte…
