TIL that if you double park in (I think) Istanbul, they roll up a truck that cantilevers your car onto it's back and takes off with it in about 20 seconds.

You Can't Post Your Way Out of Fascism.

Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them: If there's one thing I'd hoped people had learned going into the next four...

Comrade I don't know how to tell you this in a non-asshole way, but "someone" is *you*. That's where we're at. Find people doing the work you want to see and help them.

Just an FYI that Direct File is indeed still up and running. It's still being actively developed, improvements are coming (Spanish is now live! Importing W-2 info is coming!).

It has NOT been cancelled or closed.

Please use it if you qualify, it's genuinely good software built by people who care about the public good and want to get people the credits and refunds they're entitled to.

TBH, the more people use it the harder it will be for it to be shut down after this tax season.

I recently published my annual dive into the HTTP Archive, focusing on page growth, web performance, and UX: https://www.speedcurve.com/blog/page-bloat-2025/

A common question is "How big SHOULD my pages be?" According to analysis by @slightlyoff, the ideal page should be <1.4 MB with <365 KB coming from JS.

Richard Dawkins does not have the power to decree what is a "Universal Biological Definition" and what is not. He can decree that he personally is an extremist and a reductionist.

Marc Andreessen, Murder Enthusiast.

How to find Nazis:

(1) Post “Fuck Nazis”

(2) Watch for the “Don't call people you disagree with Nazis!” comments, or those saying it's more complex then that.

(3) You found the Nazi.

Last night, @bcantrill and I were joined by Andy Hock and James Wang from Cerebras to talk about the pace of genAI innovation--remarkable even in the first few weeks of 2025!

From the disruptive training costs of DeepSeek to the wafer-scale silicon of Cerebras--clearly we are at the the earliest stages of this new domain.

Trying to use Tapestry as a social media reading app for a bit, because it may let me scan quickly without soaking my head in the firehose. I’m also setting up tech and political news feeds for sites that post so often they’d overwhelm my RSS reader (e.g., Techmeme).
