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

ssh snakes.run to join!

Anyone have any dashboard designs that are 1. USEFUL and 2. BEAUTIFUL? Claude said Datadog is popular but the screenshots I'm seeing on Google Images are 90s. Vercel looks more modern.

If you love a dashboard AND find it useful, what do you love about it?

NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE

then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results"

and i was like.
oh!

I also refer to it as my video game!! Haha, so addicted just like I was as a kid. Just can't put it down. And I should tonight, it's already 2am and I gotta go to work in the morning. Just one more prompt......

My new problem is that I've got an expensive addiction, but I'll take it.

Fighting burnout with Open Source Disclaimer: I didn’t read any smart books about this topic and I am not a professional in this area. Just some observations of mine.

Oleg was right, after all. His premise was that burnout is caused primarily by a lack of progress. For years, I struggled with serious burnout, and his article rang so true for me.

Now, even more so. With the kind of progress I'm making with AI, I can't remember the last time I burned out 😍

Turned that powershell script from last night into a TUI app that manages a bunch of different agent sessions, handling the parallel requests to LMStudio to make a bunch of LLMs chat with themselves.

I told them they're elite hackers in an encrypted chat working on new vulns

Windows Task Manager CPU performance view showing dozens of small graphs for each logical processor on an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, with most cores lightly active and occasional sharp spikes, while overall CPU usage reads about 7 percent at a high clock speed, humorously implying a massively overpowered processor barely breaking a sweat.

I just cant even believe this is my machine, it's from 2023 but I'm still so in love.

A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (20th Anniversary Deluxe)

Oh yeah! Remaster out today of one of the greatest albums ever made. Twenty years later and A Fever You Can't Sweat Out is still in regular rotation, especially when I'm deep cleaning. Same is true for *NSYNC's No Strings Attached.

you're better off running it as a cli. There's a skill in the repo

Introducing `steve`: a CLI for driving macOS apps.

Like playwright for browsers it's drivable by code agents. Tell them to "manually test using steve".

oooh this is a really cool idea. Computer use via the accessibility APIs. Almost seems obvious in hindsight

Screenshot of a GitHub commit by Linus Torvalds from 3 days ago, titled β€œMerge branch 'antigravity’,” in which he explains that Google Antigravity helped fix his visualization tool, noting it was also "generated with help from google, but of the normal kind." He describes troubleshooting built-in rectangle selection and switching to a custom `RectangleSelector`, after which things improved. The final line, underlined in red for emphasis, reads: β€œIs this much better than I could do by hand? Sure is.” The tone is wry and self-aware, with Torvalds implicitly endorsing AI-assisted coding by admitting its output surpassed his manual efforts.

Christmas tree decorated in Mardi Gras theme with green, purple, and gold ornaments, beads, ribbons, and masks; the topper is a half-open purple and teal umbrella over a glittery purple clock face, blending festive holiday and South Louisiana carnival elements in a cozy living room setting.
