@ShopifySupport Please tell your Help Center Assistant UI team that using the CSS rule `text-wrap: pretty` on text that changes can be disorienting and even sickening. `pretty` and `balance` should only be used on static text, not text that streams in one character at a time.

.@Steve_Yegge laid out a vision: in 2 years, nobody will write code. The solution? Kerrick’s Wager: a plan of action for senior developers in an agentic AI world. kerrick.blog/articles/2025/k… #AI #VibeCoding #AIAgents #SoftwareEngineering #Programming #Careers

@ManningBooks Can you please add High Contrast mode to the LiveBook reader? I'd like it to have a pure white background, and a pure black background. It would make it easier to read on low-contrast displays, especially e-ink displays. My subscription would be much more valuable.

@dhh What changed your mind on "Transcendental Software" between businessofsoftware.org/2015/… and world.hey.com/jason/the-path…? Is this something you've already talked or written about at length?

@acgrayling Hello! I’m starting a new local Humanist group (humanistsofdallascounty.org). May we please have permission to teach from The Good Book? (Public performance, live/recorded/streamed, plus quoting in emails, social, and the web)?

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary

@Cooperpress Is there any chance you’ll start up an Angular newsletter (like React Status)?

@TEAMEVGA Is the EVGA PerFE 12 Cable (100-NK-3000-B9) compatible with the RTX 4090? I have an EVGA 120-G2-1300-X2 PSU and I'd much rather buy and use your cable than use the adapters included with the RTX 4090.

@STARTECHdotCOM Will you ever offer something like your USBPLATE4 but for USB-C headers?

@NZXT For the N7 Z790, is it possible to fully utilize every PCIe, M.2, and SATA port? Or do some of them disable (or partially disable) others when they're in use?

Why do modern desktop and gaming motherboards, even flagship models, include so few PCI Express slots? It’s even common to see more M.2 slots than PCIe slots these days! In this article I work through the righteous anger and explain the mindset shift. kerricklong.com/articles/pci…

@CORSAIR Does your website not support Firefox? I've been seeing "We'll be back soon!" for days, but only on Firefox.

I just started up @PlayAvengers (PC) for the first time, clicked the big flashing "Play Now" button on the home screen, and then was given what appears to be a HUGE SPOILER MONTAGE recapping the campaign I was hoping to play. What the heck?

I was really excited to use @Stripe Atlas after years of hearing @patio11 talk about it, but after four weeks (!!) of back-and-forth with their support staff resulting in an inability to attach a list of prior inventions to the founding documents, I've soured on the experience.

#JavaScript code style poll! Vote, and reply telling why you voted that way. // Option A return bool ? { foo, bar, baz } : { bar, baz } // Versus // Option B return { ...(bool ? { foo } : {}), bar, baz, }

@GaggleMail Umm…

@render Any chance you'll support @adonisframework soon? I don't see it here: render.com/docs/#node

This #JWST hold music is going to be just as nostalgic in 20 years as the Windows XP setup music is today.

I've been working with the @NotionAPI the past few days. Given what I've seen, I would bet @NotionHQ's Engineering team has a line of #TypeScript like this in their codebase: type HasTypeAndPropertyValue<T extends string, K> = { [key in T]: K } & { type: T }
