zomg so cute. made with an embroidery-simulation shader mrmotarius.itch.io/mrmo-stit…
The current "soft" max dimensions of 128x128 stitches in MRMO-STITCH is just enough to render Pico-8 stuff :D

love this! so cool how you can build a large image out of generated parts, feels more like the user is in control vs. just prompting

At @GitHub Universe, I showed Blocks... one of @GitHubNext's experiments on how repos can be so much more than text files. With Blocks, you can build JS components that render & manipulate your entire repo. Use and build now at buff.ly/3Av7OC1 and share your favorites! 🚀
I have to admit that I did not finish @JoshWComeau's CSS for JS Devs course (I will! someday!), but the first few chapters were really great and I learned a ton, highly recommended

heyyy a project I started like 9 years ago is in a @danluu tweet 😍
Another odd thing about the unbatched RPC comment is that Twitter created the Stitch library, which allows for, among other things, easy batching for RPCs where appropriate
I believe the last remaining person who worked on that at Twitter was fired today

#GitHubNext has openings for machine learning researchers, ideally with experience in LLMs and/or code generation. Products not papers, over 94M users for your work, awesome team githubnext.com. Sounds good? Send me a DM!
excited to share some stuff we've been working on at @GitHubNext
we can _finally_ talk about an experiment @GitHubNext in the works for a long time: GitHub Blocks!

There's a lot more to your codebase than just.. code. We want to make it easier to create interactive docs, support your team workflows, and bring your repo to life

love these. the physical world has a lot to offer to generative art
Pausing working on pasta art for now but it will be back in a couple of weeks. Here are two of my favourite exports from last few days 💛

had a really good conversation with one of my kids about this recently while trying to explain the concept of irrational numbers.
"God made the natural numbers; all else is the work of man."
— Leopold Kronecker
i think the most important part of mathematics is the idea that the rules are arbitrary, a concept that modern math education spectacularly fails to convey

numbers every programmer should know (from zelark.github.io/nano-id-cc/)

can't believe I missed this! MobileFix is just down the street, they fixed my laptop when I knocked a full glass of water into it while wearing VR goggles
We've had this dream for a while and now it's becoming real! @aleffert and I made a divination system for cracked phone screens called ⚡️SMASHOMANCY⚡️
We're doing screen readings at a repair shop TODAY from 4:30-6:30 PM at 1099 Irving St. in SF! Drop your phone & join us.

in a Google Doc with lots of readers, all the action is in the comments—wish the UI acknowledged this and made them the focus instead of scrunched in a sidebar

"a calm stability in our choice of tools"
If we want great tools, we need to be able to use one tool for many tasks in many contexts, and use it for a long time.
That in turn requires more "malleable" software -- not for frenetic tweaking, but the opposite: to promote a calm stability in our choice of tools.
