rain š¦ļøGot unreasonably excited about this new, incredibly straightforward count-distinct algorithm. The CVM algorithm is a direct replacement for HyperLogLog, it nerd-sniped Donald Knuth for weeks, *and* it can easily be taught in an entry-level CS course.

Ellie HuxtableFinally sharing what Iāve been building for almost a year now! 
Atuin Desktop: runbooks that run
Itās open source and in open beta now š„°
Built for engineers who need repeatable, reliable workflows. No more copy-pasting from slack or outdated docs
@chockenberry At the moment Iām just āmarkingā them all, but that introduces additional cognitive overhead because I have to mentally recategorize each post in my Marked feed every time I scroll through it. It would be nice to split these into separate feeds, instead.
@chockenberry In Tapestry, is it possible to add a single post to a custom feed? I often find myself wanting to save posts that (a) are too long for me to read at the moment, (b) include media content that I want to watch / listen to later, or (c) I want to keep as āfavoritesā.
Julia Evansrelated to the Git cheat sheet I mentioned last week https://git-scm.com/cheat-sheet, I'm thinking of making some changes to the official Git glossary (https://git-scm.com/docs/gitglossary), to make it easier to look up what terms like "object" or "reference" mean in Git
I need some test readers to give feedback on the current glossary: sign up here if you're interested in giving feedback on this page or other Git documentation! https://forms.gle/LHZSRVWW7RfqmDsQ9
Also, cool as https://sosumi.ai/ is, I canāt get over the fact that the āhaikuā at the bottom of the page doesnāt follow the 5-7-5 syllable rule. š
Seeing @gruber use š¤ŗ in Markdown as the label for a reference-style link to a page on fenced code blocks is just a fantastic little Easter egg: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2025/08/31/sosumi-ai.text
@chockenberry Some more Tapestry feedback for you!
Youāre quoting a post below, but it doesnāt show up in Tapestry:

I attached a couple screenshots for reference.
@chockenberry Another advantage to a chronological feed is that you could show RSS feed items in their entirety in Expanded modeārather than hiding them behind a Moreā¦ linkābecause you can continue to scroll down past them to the next post anyway.
