When using Cursor to plan a feature (before letting Cursor build that feature), if I run a 2nd prompt to update the plan, is this known/typical? I don't have too much non-standard cursor config, not using a BYO api key. It _seems_ to work ok, but it's unsettling.

That people mistake this for "toughness" is baffling to me. This is incompetence in its purest form.

I'm trying out Tana as an alternative to Notion / Obsidian. Something I keep bumping into is it seems like they REALLY want everything to be a child of daily notes. I have a side hustle and it seems odd to me that this is the breadcrumb trail for it. Tana users, what am I missing?

If you need GRC software, DON'T use @onetrustofficial.bsky.social ... For just ONE example of why: Their security questionnaire (that you would send to your vendors) leaks contact information on the FIRST page. I haven't even gotten to the other pages yet. What moron thought this was a good idea?

The one aspect of TypeScript that I still struggle with is the thousands of little chunks of data that get passed around to facilitate efficient data transfer and app functionality. Do you create types for these subsets? Ignore the errors? Am I doing something wrong?

Lest you think I'm crazy, and/or for posterity, here are some braintree docs screen shots:

Watching Madam Secretary (available on Netflix, no spoilers, this is my first watch!) & learned that communism is traditionally anti-religious.

Gee, I wonder why the last few generations of the US congress has been so vehemently anti-communist.

It represented a risk to both sources of their power.

If you know me well (professionally) you know I don't have many nice things to say about CFML.

But one thing I admit they nailed that nobody is copying is the option to pass function args in a named fashion. Several benefits, but my favorite is this one. Note how things are named. What's the bug?

OK so that’s embarrassing… 🤦‍♂️

These are the books I read. Several re-reads, but nothing wrong with a little nostalgia now and then.

I started the year with what I thought was an ambitious goal to read 24 books. I read 40! 😅

I know we're all reeling from ... *gestures broadly* ... but can I offer a JavaScript distraction?

My error logs are chock full of "TypeError: fetch failed" with no stack trace other than a reference to undici. It feels an awful lot like I'm doing something wrong... but how can it be this broken?

I know I'm a little late to this party, but I think you'll forgive me. Here's my dog Lucy, ready to greet Trick or Treaters last night...

Dunno if anyone here can pass this on to someone who can fix it, but the Github Universe agenda screen seems to display in user-local time but events are not TZ-adjusted. I'm on EDT and the opening keynote starts at 12:00 here, as noted by the homepage, not 9am as noted by agenda.
