When I first got a Macbook, I tried installing an app and had no idea what to do once I saw the app icon, arrow and Applications folder with no additional instructions. I didn't fi…

You can use VSCode / Zed, run any CLI coding agent in the integrated terminal and review changes using the Git working tree diff view the IDE offers. Extensions seemingly give more…

I use the VacuumTube app ( https://flathub.org/en/apps/rocks.shy.VacuumTube ), which has ad block, sponsor block, and some more advanced settings! You can use GNOME with scaled up …

My "streaming device" of choice, ThinkCentre Tiny with Linux, always feels validated with news like these. It fits behind a TV, you can get it second hand for around $40 and depend…

So your headliner case is that it managed to edit 17 lines in DuckDB? Why is the line count relevant here? What is the 17-line change even about?

Then there's Steam Link which actually works, even with non-Steam games and full desktop. My computer screen is 21:9, TV is 16:9 and that is too much to handle for the other stream…

The AI folks have discovered CQRS?

There are also different CLI flags (I recall something related to building and pushing multi-arch containers) and different features supported in compose.yml. Even rootful Podman w…

One thing I don't like about Podman is that it pretends to be docker-compatible while having some minor differences that will come to bite you. And users of your docker-based proje…

The article provides enough evidence for that label. Unlike Google, who can arbitrarily call anything "malware". This is the contrast the article attempts to point out.

In that case, I have a pre-screening system to sell you. Through state of the art technology, it only lets through the best* 1% of applications. *According to our proprietary, undi…

Europe. You just walk to the register and point out the items you want to pay for. I've never seen a place where paying for a group of 6 separately would be a problem, it's the def…

Umm... Who would pay $149 to use a font? Maybe I'm not enough of a typography nerd, but I find the free choices (JetBrains Mono, Iosevka, Fira Code, ...) quite enough.

I was actually required in the past to "print, sign and scan", and due to my lack of a printer I just took a picture of my signature and pasted it in. Nobody ever complained, but i…

Nothing to do with nom itself. This sort of scam would have worked with many different technologies, even a Makefile.

AI is great at getting you 80% there. But you have to finish the remaining 80% yourself.

I keep hearing about the "Recurse center". I tried to understand from their website what exactly is it, but only thing I got was "a sabbatical where you work on random stuff and ta…

The "beer drinking simulator" we all had on our phones in 2010 wasn't a very accurate representation of drinking beer either

That seems unnecessarily cryptic -- the whole HTTP analogy doesn't really work well, or the article doesn't do a good job of explaining it. I know, I come from a place of knowing g…

Mise has two ways of running tools: the default one is ad-hoc PATH modifications, but there's also a shim folder you can add to PATH globally. If you mean the Claude desktop app or…

We're discussing Homebrew now, which includes discussing alternatives, and I'm telling my story of switching to a tool that I found better for my purposes. I'm not affiliated or an…

Mise now has lockfiles as a stable feature, which has the benefit of hash checking if you use Mise in a CI environment!

For system-wide things I usually use "latest" but it's nice being able to downgrade and/or stick to a working version using lockfiles. I remember back when I used Homebrew, Telepor…

I've been using it lightly as a "better nvm" for a longer time, but only switched to it as a primary "tool installer" a few months ago. I've seen it improve quite a lot over the ti…

FWIW you can replace pngpaste with a simple script: https://til.simonwillison.net/macos/impaste Zbar seems to provide prebuilt binaries here https://linuxtv.org/downloads/zbar/bina…
