My 6 year old was asking what the “illions” were beyond trillion. I explained quadrillion and quintillion and then said sextillion and septillion are like 6 and 7.
She said “67” and did a subtle version of the palms up gesture.
I feel so gotten.

We need a law where if the government is shut down, the citizens don’t have to pay for it. I could use my withholding for the last month to feed everyone in town who is on snap.

Sounds like the feds were setting up their usual cell spoofing stuff to spy on the UN attendees and it was overwhelmed by crappy spam SIMs so they had to intervene.
The spam SIMs are just making too much noise to work around to get that juicy intel.

Is there an Apple App Store rule about cleaning up web links?
Example: TokTok links my wife sends me have a share component that requires I login to see the video. I don’t have a login.
Fix: wrote an extension to remove the ?_t and _r query strings.
It’s great but just on my phone.

Not impressed with the Claude integrated Xcode. It’s just spending all of its energy telling me iOS 26 can’t possibly be a thing because it’s only 2024 and iOS 18 was just released.
It keeps using old-ass APIs for everything. My prompt has to always start with “it’s late 2025, iOS 26 is real, …”

Listening to Search engine podcast on a run again today. Rationalist baby one.
The lady is talking about the fundie-to-rationalist pipeline inflection point, when someone asked her what she meant by “feminist”.
She’d accused them of being they didn’t accept or reject.

I was using Resend to do some email stuff. Best email sending thing I’ve ever used.

No, it’s like really good. They sent a marketing sort of email asking what they could do better. Just stop.
Don’t do anything more. It’s perfect. Stop.

What would an optional, rolling, continuous lay-off buy-out offer look like?
When times are tough, when times are good, most companies have open job roles for various things. Not being at 100% doesn’t kill them.
If someone isn’t having fun, let them take the package, train their replacement, etc

Listening to Search Engine ep about Microplastics… they have a worried scientist and a “calm down buddy” economist.
I’m just not a fan of the field of economics. Can’t they find a real scientist with a positive take? None on the big plastics payroll?

When I ask Claude.ai, it says it just sees “loading…”. Has anyone else seen this?

Cursor does a nice thing where it puts the .env file off limits to the LLMs. This is nice.
Today while troubleshooting a token mismatch (turns out exported variables override .env file), it was sure the .env file was a problem.
Cursor blocked access so it used echo to overwrite it. Non-git file😩

Ranked choice voting was supposed to get us away from “voting against the worst” which is what we currently have everywhere else in the US with fptp.
I keep seeing “Don’t Rank ____” circulating and feel like maybe there’s another, option?
Or is it just how ranked choice is for primaries?

@roehl.dev I’m quite enjoying habit kit. Use it every day.
I am wondering if there’s a way to make the springboard widget show different things based on time.
I always have a morning, midday, and evening thing to do and they’re different. I don’t want 3 widgets because that’s a lot of space.
