I just realized the Winter Olympics are happening February 6th to 22nd, 2 months from now.

Looks like Peacock is the US streaming app and the full no ads package is $17 for a month. Really not bad when you compare it to any other sports streaming cost.

Awesome update. Def the cleanest editor out there.

This fall, we shipped a Settings UI. Seems simple, right?

Under the hood: refactored our entire settings architecture, taught GPUI new tricks, and accidentally broke auto-update along the way.

Here's the story of how we rebuilt settings in Zed: zed.dev/blog/setting...

Today is the 20th anniversary of the time in college when my friend Jeff gave me some free shared web hosting, and I decided to build a music blog with something called "WordPress."

It would have been on version 1.5 I believe, since this was a few weeks before WordPress 2.0 was released.

Fascinating - Seattle waterfront Aquarium building is wood-clad and they engineered it to “go gray” like you’d expect from a cedar fence.

The Ocean Pavilion's siding is changing color — and it's not a design flaw.

Wasn't happy with the 'logo' on my personal site so generated a signature version that I like the look of.

Not giving away my actual handwriting seems like a nice use case for AI 🤔

Makes it sound like the JS got dizzy or something.

Understated upside to Claude Code and AI in programming - projects I have put off for years due to tediousness become way less of a headache.

I'd buy a sub-$1,000 Apple Vision Pro but I probably wouldn't buy a Meta Quest at any price. Just cannot fathom trusting Meta with my fingerprints or a retina scan.

The device model seems useful for remote office work type of setting. But not wearing it around the house w/ your family next to you.

I restarted Zed and started getting the worst linting effect possible on ERB. I hope it's not HERB doing this but I have disabled erb_lint and html_beautifier that I was using and it's still happening...

Started working on my first Ruby gem this weekend.

It is probably overly ambitious and is absolutely stretching my programming skills, but I need a re-usable CMS pattern for setting up content collections consistently across different websites that is editor/front-end agnostic.

We often hear that folks want "wrap detection" in CSS (i.e. when a flex item shifts into a position where it wraps over to the next line)

What is a real-world example of a use-case you would need this for?
