Rhinestone! I just watched for first time the other day. I had made my partner watch Rocky to see a different side of Stallone, and she is a huge Dolly Parton fan.

Rhinestone was hilarious and great to watch just because Stallone and Parton were having _so much fun_ together. No sense of sexual attraction, just having a damn great time having fun. Could not help but enjoy that, separate from it genuinely being a fun movie.

I was hoping this would satisfy a need so I didn't have to build a full tool myself. Kiln looks interesting, too.

Neat! Installed this for Claude Code and am adding Codex support to offer back, assuming it works out. Great tool idea and looking forward to seeing it in operation over the next few days. The 'audit' command is a great feature idea more tools should integrate.

> So the bulge is sort of "in front" of the Moon and it pulls it forward speeding it up. The other bulge works in opposite direction, but it is more distant so the force is lower.

Interesting! I had never caught that key idea and need to read more about that. thanks

I've been on Zoho for my (and my partner's) email for 4+ years and it has been great. Chose them because there is no per-domain charge, so I have like 12 domains on it.

The configurability is extensive in both web app and ios email app. Service has been fast and stable. They rarely change anything in the UI (no random tinkering is what I mean) so it is predictable and easy to use.

It definitely affected hiring. I work at a startup that is self-funded, profitable, and at about 24 people. The tax change increased our tax bill by around $125k, so that's an engineer we couldn't hire.

Made me glad our founders are so fiscally conservative, as other startups around had to lay off some people to have cash on hand to pay the increased taxes.

Thank you for sharing that. It's a beautiful set of ideas. I read it aloud to my wife and we're talking about it now the implications for all knowledge levels. Fascinating thing to share.

Indeed. At a former employer, when they announced removing free soda, I assumed they were about to stagnate very hard. Compared to the costs and profits of flying hundreds of sales engineers around weekly and any executive-level expenses the cost rounded to zero. It was routine to hear about the $200/person dinners for big groups of leaders when courting visiting customers. So when they start cutting something as cheap as soda maintenance, they're definitely desperate and going to cut all the wrong expenses.

Coincidence or not, their stock has slowly fallen and they've lost their shine since then.

I think "broadly cutting tiny costs" means the company is done believing in itself.

This is incredible software. Thank you for linking to it. It has features I've long wished for in a laptop!

And in those more complex interactions there is not enough adjustment capability. I often want Alexa to speak faster or just shorter (reduce filler words and pauses). There's no way (I am aware of) to make it more efficient for the determined user.

In 8th grade I read a book on Zinc and it projected the world's supply would run out by ~1985. The book was published in like 1970 and I was reading it in 1994. Since then I've had a big of skepticism of "it's running out" when it comes to raw industrial materials.

There's an older short story "Thirteen to Centaurus" by JG Ballard with an interesting take on this.

I have a strong memory of using an IDE that behaved like this - using size and font to communicate structure - at a job around 2005. I can't currently remember the name but think it it started with 'source'?

If someone else remembers this and the name I'd appreciate it. I could be remembering wrong too about how far it went with such decoration.

Thanks for explaining that. I feel like I heard about the "Tweel" in the 90s in Popular Mechanics, and occasionally since then.

Indeed. I installed half a dozen apps on my Ipad to figure out which one actually was the correct one.
