docker’s desktop app continues to be one of the most frustrating pieces of software that exists. it’s absolutely wild that it can’t even reliably update itself

i thought the daikon crudité was wild but then they brought out the seaweed butter papardelle 😭

A shallow, black plate with a row of brightly colored slices of daikon radish, all red and white. Pooled next to them is a ricotta salsa topped with aleppo spices and furikake, and scattered on the other side is smoked salt with a medallion of mentaiko.

is three sushi places in one week too many? (don’t answer that, its rhetorical, and the answer is “no”)

the other night, when i was walking back to my hotel room, there was this group of three gen z 20-somethings standing outside the stadium; one of them randomly yelled a “what’s up tho???” at me as i was walking by and when i instinctively reacted with a “hi”, they all just laughed at me :(

just had my Apple Card declined at a brewery and, instead of getting a “Suspicious Transaction” notification, they just completely locked my card. in fact, they locked it so hard that not only did they force a reset of my card number, they forced a reset of my Apple ID password. what the fuck?

i strive to write code that’s readable enough not to need code comments… but when you’re dealing with time and duration, it’s really difficult to keep things straight. i’ve been working with time a lot as i work on FireHydrant’s upcoming on-call product, and something i’ve been adding a lot to my code that deals with time is visual comments. for example, take this test about requesting coverage. the intended result is visible at a glance without having to juggle eight timestamps in your head!

A code snippet showing a specification test. The scenario involves requesting on-call coverage during a one week period, with three on-call shifts being affected by that request. The first shift starts before the period but overlaps with the beginning. The second shift is right in the middle of the period. The last shift, like the first, overlaps with the end of the period. The coverage request, three shifts, and expected result of the coverage request are all laid out in a code comment that display as a timeline.
