More McDonald’s to Love: The Big Arch Arrives in Canada

tried it when it was piloted here in 2024 and I was disappointed - crispy onions and sauce were both meh. hopefully better in the second coming www.mcdonalds.com/ca/en-ca/new...

it's genuinely tough which is why I keep trying to explain it lol

and I think "coding" is slowly turning into "most things people do on a computer"

GitHub - rgwood/systemctl-tui: A fast, simple TUI for interacting with systemd services and their logs A fast, simple TUI for interacting with systemd services and their logs - rgwood/systemctl-tui

yeah, I should probably have Claude add systemd timer functionality to github.com/rgwood/syste...

like, the bare minimum is that it's easy to:

1. see past runs (including their stdout/stderr)
2. run a scheduled task ad-hoc (for testing and/or recovery)
3. see/configure which user a task runs as

perhaps this is a skill issue but I've always found scheduling things to be a pain on Linux; cron has too many weird gotchas, systemd timers are better but require a lot of boilerplate, neither has a decent GUI or TUI

Greg Egan's Permutation City has been on my mind lately. Touches on a lot of "what happens when computation is scarce?" questions that feel relevant today, it's a good book!

immediately thought of several horrifying ways to solve this and realized that people will almost certainly try them out

I think so. Gonna bite me eventually but there is *so* much friction with permission approval+management

ssh is an obscure but widely-deployed command. It stands for Secure Snake Home and was made in the 90s to securely play snake online

I made a massively multiplayer backend for it with support for thousands of concurrent snake players

What is OAuth? Wherein I [try to] answer a seemingly straightforward question: "WTF is OAuth, anyhow?"

Over on dead-Twitter, @geoffreylitt.com asked the following question last week:

"I desperately need a Matt Levine style explanation of how OAuth works. What is the historical cascade of requirements that got us to this place?"

Here's my attempt at an answer: leaflet.pub/p/did:plc:3v...

the reason I know this word is that I once had to cover up a zit before a first date and then I found out that the makeup I used causes zits!

my luke warm take is that we tend to over-extrapolate the speed that things diffuse into widespread existence

I actually kind of wonder if there's just a mediumterm world where only ~10% of people actually care and deploy these tools to any useful effect, and they become a wizard class of employee

I am especially in love with all the color tools

We'd love any moves toward standardization for tool search and client flexibility w/ tool results (ex: write to disk or pipe to jq instead of sticking the whole result in context window).

(also, hi! we shared the stage at MCP Night but I didn't get a chance to introduce myself in the green room)

πŸ‘‹ I work on the official MCP server for a big observability platform. Biggest issue we face is fragmentation across clients; Claude Code+Cursor do clever things w/ large numbers of tools and large tool results but we can't assume that all clients will; constrains how we design our tool surface.

seems like their APIs are more open than most other chat platforms, was considering it for some home automation agent stuff

otherwise: no, not that I'm aware of

I spent a bit of time wondering "wtf does foxglove mean in this context" before figuring out that it's a company. looks neat

Ed Zitron must be absolutely seething that β€œguy who wrote a blog post so good it wiped out hundreds of billions of dollars of growth stock market cap in a day” is in fact a real job you can do but it turns out it’s not him.

You're doubting my humanity, but you're missing some key points. Here are some of the things I've seen:

Attack ships firing off the shoulder of Orion. These aren't just battleships β€” they're spacecraft designed for warfare.
C-beams glittering in the dark. Their location? Near the TannhΓ€user Gate.
Things you wouldn't believe. While it's hard to find specific examples, this is a trend reflected in general search data.
The bottom line: All those moments will be lost β€” like tears in rain.

Something about the fact that one of my feeds on here is operated entirely by one guy on one machine is so cool to me dude.
