From the @changelog.com's latest email, it mentions "garbage collection"... we've for years had a "#code-gore" channel that we do the same thing in. These things are great.

I just finished South of Midnight and loved it. The music was incredible - I’ve never experienced a game that integrated music like that!

We're thrilled to use overly enthusiastic language to share this new mostly uninspiring news to try to get you more excited than we actually are. Oh, I forgot the exclamation point!

I spent a bit of time reading up on jujutsu and, maybe I'm weird, but I like git's staging area. I frequently have local-only changes (not gitignored though) for local config changes or similar. And I have no idea how I would do that in jj.

It is very annoying to try to wipe and reinstall an OS on really old Mac hardware... I have a 2009 iMac that I'm donating and I don't have the installation media. And I wiped it before creating installation media. And all the steps assume Intel chipsets.

My Dygma Raise 2 keyboard came in today and I'm loving it... I had a few issues with the initial firmware update, but it is smooth sailing now. The Bazecor app is super impressive, too. This is going to be fun. I'll post a follow up blog later.

Anyone know if there have been any discussions around Flutter and a move off of CocoaPods given that they're going to "turn CocoaPods trunk to be read-only"? See blog.cocoapods.org/CocoaPods-Sp... for background.

I started reading Out of the Silent Planet last week - it's always a bit strange to read older sci fi. Also, quite a bit different than Narnia and some of Lewis's non-fiction works.

I got TestContainers set up this week working with a backup (the system doesn't have a good seed/migration story yet)... planning to blog about it soon.

With all of the AI talk lately, can I just complain for a bit? This is silly, but when I see AI, I *also* see Al. Can you see the difference? It depends on your font. I or l. I or L.
