I've spent the day trying out [@steveklabnik.com](https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/steveklabnik.com)'s [#jujutsu](https://wandering.shop/tags/jujutsu) tutorial, and as a forcing function I'm trying it out on a couple of my own repos.

I'm very used to the [#magit](https://wandering.shop/tags/magit) workflow in [#emacs](https://wandering.shop/tags/emacs) and I don't know how much I'm gonna like moving over to a full TUI for version control. So far, I feel like a rank newbie again, which is strange given how relatively expert I think I've become with git.

A CLI for on-device speech transcription using Speech.framework on macOS 26.

github.com/finnvoor/yap

What stood out above all else was Yap’s speed. By harnessing SpeechAnalyzer and SpeechTranscriber on-device, the command line tool tore through the 7GB video file a full 55% faster than MacWhisper’s Large V3 Turbo model, with no noticeable difference in transcription quality.

[@phire](https://phire.place/@phire) [@mhoye](https://mastodon.social/@mhoye) a friend said once that enterprise architects exist so programmers don't have to talk to business analysts, and BAs exist so that EAs don't have to talk to customers/users

It has forever changed my perception of the development process

Scoop: I obtained the contract Samsung requires independent shops to sign to buy phone repair parts from them.

It requires:

- "Daily" dumps of customer data
- The "immediate destruction" of any phones a shop comes across that has third-party parts

This is cosmic-term, a very WIP project that takes the alacritty_terminal crate providing the majority of terminal code but rewrites the renderer to support additional features such as bidirectional text and ligatures. It will support both software and GPU rendering, and will have additional UI sugar provided by libcosmic as they are implemented.

TIL that macOS ships with a default CLI command called "sips", for "scriptable image processing system" - and it can convert webp images to PNG, but it can also generate entirely new images from scratch using an almost entirely undocumented canvas-based JavaScript API! <https://til.simonwillison.net/macos/sips>
