I’ve been using a @frameworkcomputer Laptop 13 for the past three weeks. Deeply, deeply excited for that company’s mission and extremely pleased with my computer. Hoping to blog more about it soon and also contribute to maintaining and improving Linux support.

BREAKING: San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors just approved a resolution urging SFMTA to implement a citywide No Turn On Red (NTOR) policy.
NTOR increases safety for people crossing the street, especially children, seniors, and people with disabilities.

I honestly think if you attached the plot of a Zelda game to any other franchise, everybody would realize it's total garbage.
"Ok: you've been sleeping for 100 years and now you've gotta team up with the grandchildren of all the people you knew 100 years ago, when the war was lost. But it wasn't really lost because literally nothing's happened since then, because Zelda's been alive and fighting this whole time. Also, somehow she hasn't aged. Anyway, you have amnesia. Here's your smartphone."

I've reviewed Michael Lewis's book Going Infinite, which just published today as Sam Bankman-Fried's trial kicks off. Ultimately, it's a story of the FTX collapse that never meaningfully changed from the hero story Lewis originally set out to write.

This Kevin McCarthy circus makes perfect sense when you remember many Republicans' goal is to gaslight us into believing the government does not work, so that they can dismantle it and abolish all forms of regulation and oversight.
The America they think was great predates workman's comp, antitrust, banking regulations, social security, and child labor laws.

A lot of folks come to us with what they assume are performance problems when, in reality, their products suffer from respect issues.
Decide to really serve users who aren't like you in location, wealth, ability, or knowledge and you'll wind up solving your performance issues as a side-effect.

Referenced at @hugoconf today:
https://blog.cloudflare.com/new-dev-docs/
Cloudflare (in 2022) migrated from Gatsby to Hugo to work around almost hour-long build times (for a project with 1600 markdown files).
It makes me think of the Jamstack pivot to include on-request rendering models that sacrificed the benefits of SSG to solve problems introduced by slow build tooling. In this case, Cloudflare swapped back to Hugo rather than over-complicate their architecture.
(reminded of https://www.zachleat.com/web/build-benchmark/ too 🫣)
