Through much experimentation, trial, and tribulation, we have a new seasonal #margarita recipe!

“Snow on the Beach” (with apologies to Ms Swift)

The majority of my interaction with these generative #AI things boils down to some form of maybe-better-tab-completion or this:

#copilot

Given the great improvements in #Ruby’s IRB these past few years, what prompt customization(s) are you using for your IRB sessions? I've basically stripped mind down to how it comes out of the box, but curious to see what neat stuff folks are doing.
I think I know what my midlife crisis is, and it’s an absolute blast. It’s also something I did from ages 14-24, so unsure of that qualifies as a midlife crisis.
Me: *Fires off message to #Heroku backchannel Slack to get on that list*
I know this is well outside my normal tech-focused stuff, but… after 20 years in storage, I busted out the first #paintball marker (the black Tippmann 68 Carbine) I bought (1995-ish) and the last one I bought (2k3 WGP Autococker Prostock) before I stopped playing regularly back in 2004. I am rebuilding them to play with our boys. I also have a new electro pneumatic marker (Dye Rize CZR), but the old school mechanical ones are making a comeback, and that 'cocker can still hang with moderns.
I basically stopped using Twitter (and move here) back when Elmo took over. But I finally go around to downloading my archive and I'm not deleting 26k+ toots. Better late than never, I suppose.

Oh god, @hibachrach made this for me - of me? Anyhow, I love it. 🤣

@searls

“Every opinionated issue tracker company eventually sells out its own product and gradually removes their thoughtful design constraints until it resembles a somehow-even-worse version of JIRA before the whole thing slides into irrelevance.”

Given how terrible this new app is going for #Sonos, and how much even their CEO says they're focused on fix it, you'd think they’d do better than “Bug fixes and improved performance” for app updates.

I want to see that you're actually improving this thing. I want to see updates like "we’ve finally brought back the ability to edit a queue. Sorry we fucked that most basic thing up so badly!”

They have the list [https://support.sonos.com/en-us/article/release-notes-for-sonos-software-updates], put it in the App Store updates! Do better, Sonos.
