NixOS is not a read only OS. There is an impermanence addon that can do this, though, for many partitions.

This problem has been around for a long time. Not only that but it would say this even when the problems were directly caused by their code. I put a line in my CLAUDE.md that says …

Exactly: it depends on what you mean by "better". OS/2 had a much more modern basis, but: * it was painful to program compared to Windows * it required a lot more hardware (and thu…

not mini PCs, no, but there are laptops that do

This works well for problems that are purely algorithmic in nature. But problems often have solutions that don't fall into those categories, especially in UI/UX. When people tell m…

The quality x price curve is not linear. Expensive materials and engineering often produce only incremental quality improvements, if any. Sometimes the improvements are only cosmet…

I think Apple is more responsible. One of Flash's chief benefits to the customers who paid the big bucks was that it 'just worked' everywhere. Once Apple stopped supporting Flash o…

You assume the marketing folks actually talk with the hardware folks. More likely its a big game of telephone....

Does anyone know if the company is still active. Haven't seen any updates for a while now. I like the product a lot, but products like this need security updates at the very least.…

Its shift-tab in Claude Code, fyi

I discussed approaches in my earlier reply. But what you are saying now makes me think you are having problems with too much context. Pare down your CLAUDE.md massively and never l…

Those kinds of errors were super common 4-6 months ago, but LLM quality moves fast. Nowadays I don't see these very often at all. Two things that make a huge difference: work on wr…

Wrong. If you know nix then you know "leverages the unique way that Flox environments are rendered without performing a nix evaluation" is a very significant statement.

Author forgot about image, video, and music creation. These have all been quite successfully commercially, though maybe not as much artistically.

I don't think its for everyone, the paper metaphor either works for you or it doesn't. That said, the other big benefit for me is it breaks a lot less often than hyprland and its e…

Tabs, and workspaces.

Niri has named workspaces, each of which has a scrolling model. So you can achieve something very very close to what you want.

Wait until you get a load of nix's home manager!

So the Safari developers are overworked/under-resourced, but Google somehow should have infinite resources to maintain things forever? Apple is a much bigger company than Google th…

That's steve yegge ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Yegge ) you are talking about. Kids these days, sheesh, they think lisp is a speech impediment.... /s

People always make this argument, for at least the last 10 years. Since Apple has not yet shown any real action towards reducing their dependency on China, why would it be any diff…

The Hold for Me and Direct My Call features for Pixel's Phone app both use Duplex models running locally on your device, and those features are quite popular. I think that counts a…

AFAICT, he told the team separately, and is just using IG to announce publicly. I don't see how that is any worse than the usual dry press release.

The thing I thought was hilarious is that they put in a zillion funny gadgets, but you can't get a USB-C port instead of that godawful Lightning port.
