Thankfully no! Some eejit that always parks in the crosswalk near me though 🤬 Makes a good test case
I'm testing in production, trying to recreate www.howsmydrivingny.nyc, using your lovely ATProto SDK 😁
You didn't see anything 🙃
I vibe coded a free online version of my card game Bedlam, which is like Cards Against Humanity but for techies. Try it out yourself at www.bedlamgame.com, play with others at work or add AI players to test it out single player -or use screenshot mode to generate pictures of funny card combos.
Any em dash fans here? We're currently working on a Windows-wide keyboard keyboard shortcut for em dash and em dash, to make it easier to input for those that need it 😊 blogs.windows.com/windows-insi... #WindowsInsiders
The Seattle City Council is about to start taking votes on the 20-year Comprehensive Plan which will determine how housing in Seattle is built. I biked around Seattle to talk to people about what we need to do to build more housing, and make our communities more walkable, and livable.
They're working on it www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I was just there a couple of weeks ago! Incredible pizza.
Congratulations 🎉
Thanks, I added it to the issue.
If you can share a repo and a package you expect to get updates, I can create an issue and triage it.
Yeah, not directly related to our work, but I can try and get eyes on it.
I'm not sure I see much about groups in that one. Is it related to this? github.com/dependabot/d...
With friends like these, who needs enemies?
Let me know what sort of bugs or weird behaviour you've seen, and I'll make sure we look into it.
Excited to share what my team and I have been working on for the past year 🎉 The new Dependabot NuGet updater is here to help keep your .NET dependencies secure and up-to-date. Check out all the details in our blog post devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/the-n...

Reminds me of this tiny sign on Lake Washington Boulevard by Seward park.
I just finished Advent of Code 2020! Better late than never 😅 I got stuck on day 20 and never found the time to come back to it
I'll see you there 😄
Lanana? Though it sounds too close to banana
It's only haggis if it's from the haggis region of Scotland. Otherwise, it's just meatloaf with a superiority complex.

When thousands of eager riders turned out to celebrate the 2 Line opening to Downtown Redmond, one question arose more than any other: “Now when will it connect to Seattle?” Head to The Platform for an update on this highly anticipated regional connection: ow.ly/Yvab50VVZ0R
We’re down.
Light rail from the airport to campus should be an option just in time for the next MVP summit, if everything still goes to schedule 😅
Unfortunately, it's been pushed back (again) to "early 2026" www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Half of it has been cleaned this morning.
Yeah, they absolutely need to finish the job. They did the same thing on the bridge on the West side of Mercer. It was just less noticeable because that trail is wider.
I cycle that bridge on my daily commute, and that's all from the cycle path side. The trail was actually getting kinda narrow because of all the weeds growing on either side.
Anytime I see that I think to myself "Eyyyy I'm JSON"
Seattle had impressive ridership growth from the partial opening of the East Link Extension; when the full line opens there's a good chance they become #2 in the US! Several other systems also had robust growth, but others had deep losses due to shutdowns for maintenance or strikes
The trail on the bridge on the East side of Mercer has slowly been getting overgrown. I think some good Samaritan must have cleaned it out!
It's an amazing scuba spot, if you ever want to get into underwater photography
A BICYCLE WEATHER ALERT HAS BEEN ISSUED TO SEATTLE AREA BIKE LANES AND TRAILS. ALL RESIDENTS ARE ADVISED TO TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY. RIDE A BICYCLE TO THE NEAREST BIKE LANE OR TRAIL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

Two days too late, but the City & SDOT can move fast when it wants too. Thanks to @sngreenways.bsky.social @seattlebikeblog.com for helping make this happen
Get ready to soak up summer on Lake Washington Boulevard! From May to September, on select weekends, a section of Lake Washington Blvd. will be closed to motorized vehicles. Take the opportunity to bike, jog, or simply stroll along this scenic stretch. parkways.seattle.gov/2025/04/22/2...

Ugh gross, Seattle just ripped out bike lane protection on a super dangerous street. If you're so inclined, please help us bother the mayor about this by adding your name to this letter:

I get an error when trying with cosign verify-blob-attestation: "failed to verify log inclusion: validation error: x509: malformed certificate". Is that the bug you're talking about? gist.github.com/JamieMagee/e...

I did some digging this evening into a few of the things that have emerged to fill the #CVE gap. It was much less inspiring than I had hoped it would be opensourcesecurity.io/2025/04-can-...

"Home Assistant legacy entity attributes" I use Inovelli light switches, and they have a lot of attributes each.

Okay, that seems like a HUGE loophole.
Wait, they don't have to name the driver? In the UK you have to nominate a named driver. "Failure to nominate" is a separate offence that can get tacked on if you don't respond.
Red light cameras are a slam dunk safety measure. They reduce fatal collisions by 50%, and there aren't really other tools to prevent people from brazenly running red lights. We should be scaling these widely. (from a presentation at Seattle City Council this morning)

I'm a big fan! I started reading the books as well after the end of season 2. I'd love to hear what you think of it once you are up to date.
