The images are pretty, but good lord what horrendous UX. Why are they still stuck with this? Also -- why would someone else be allowed to tweak a user's file manager settings ? Ins…

"Anthropic says it's bad at making harnesses" doesn't have quite the same ring to it, I guess.

The first definition of this phrase per Merriam-Webster is "to gloss over, explain away, or patch up (differences, disparities, etc.) especially in order to maintain a semblance of…

It's a rabbit... looking thing. It basically has to.

You're not wrong regarding your first paragraph. However, capitalism is not going anywhere ;) as such, moral objections to the use of tooling in this system amount to objections to…

"Not going anywhere" is such a strange argument. Tomato juice isn't going anywhere, does it mean I'm going to be guzzling it at some point in my life? What? If you've made your cho…

git config --global core.hooksPath /dev/null

git config --global core.hooksPath /dev/null Then, in repos you want to turn it on: git config core.hooksPath "$PWD/.git/hooks" This also works on Windows (and presumably other ope…

I don't know the answer to this, but I have to wonder if, for source files specifiically, .git is the culprit here... It's not part of your project , it's part of your repo . Which…

This is why Linux needs a sensible, universal way to hide files that doesn't involve bloody renaming them (since that will just cause the original one to be re-created! What is tha…

Victimized, not that many. Generally if you do domain squatting like this you try to appear "legitimate". Sell actual paint or whatever. Because the moment you try actually pretend…

I haven't installed Maria on Windows in forever, but does it not do that anymore? Yes, this is definitely true -- I remember seeing it several times, that's how I found out HeidiSQ…

Every time someone claims LLMs "talk like real people", I have to wonder what kind of people they talk to, what kind of conversations they lead, and just how boring their life must…

Thing is, I recognize this UI. It looks identical to the VS Code "Agents Window" feature. Except it's... a standalone app, for some reason.

I am extremely confused by the fact that... you basically can't make a Google account without providing a phone number anymore, can you? The article even says as much. So what is t…

Named arguments are supported very widely. How is this an argument specifically in favor of Ada?

The SQLite parts that exist in Firefox right now are no less fiddly. If you crash the thing and the journal files are still there, it starts back up and presents you with a blank p…

Always did think suicides should be investigated as murders. Someone 's at fault. Perhaps even intentionally.

It "improves privacy" because Proton is a "private email service". That's all there is to that line of marketing here.

Personal experience here -- every now and again GitHub will slow to an absolute crawl . All of it. Page loads, pulls and pushes, will take minutes to complete. And you can forget a…

Wayland, Flatpak and Gnome are dead set on trying to turn my computer into a weird oversized smartphone. AppImage tries to recreate the "just download it and run" experience that W…

Do you genuinely, truly believe that "4 digits then "-" then 2 digits then "-" then 2 digits" is more readable than "\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}"? Do you think your walls of text won't make …

Discord does not require a smartphone for MFA. If you are thinking TOTP, there's a ton of desktop apps that generate those. Passkeys are supported for the purpose as well.
