The history and endurance of vi is impressive. I never thought I would be using the same editor today that I started using in the mid 90s because it was more l33t. The comments abo…

Ha, this looks like someone took mine and got a real designer to polish it. https://wthr.cloud

If you're looking to build and install this from source, here's the incantation: CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -ldflags "-X main.version=dev -X main.commit=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) -…

The appeal of GraphQL is that it eliminates the need for a BFF and easily solves service meshing. Over fetching is more of a component design problem than a performance issue.

I use this one pretty often. It’s great. https://chawan.net/

I don’t understand who this is for? I just tried Anthropic’s extension and it feels like writing automated selenium tests. LLMs interacting with markup is not the best abstraction …

It’s how a lot of code is being generated by owners of small startups with minimal engineering engagement. PMs are producing full walking skeletons of designs that used to take a w…

By installing MDM you’re effectively chaining your security to the security of the MDM. The MDM gives you the ability to install arbitrary code via a blessed backdoor. There’s no r…

They used an internal fork delivered via MDM. There are no guarantees that Signal can make about the software running on those phones and per the reports it’s a lot of phones.

This is currently my bet. This looks like something I would set up— state actors are not in my threat list. But, I’m usually being paid to protect the employer not the employee.

This is so frightening. I worked in corporate security, and that was occasionally a leaking ship, but this wouldn’t even fly with our engineers even if we wanted their message hist…

There’s chatter on bsky. But tl;dr anything said on those phones is assumed to be compromised until proven otherwise by time or a whole lot of very interesting security verificatio…

Yeah, I was shocked to see this buried. If the allegations are verified this could be a huge leak on what a number of people were led to believe is a secure by default platform. It…

Installing Signal using this method provides none of the guarantees Signal can normally provide by being an open verifiable application. It not only opens you up to state actors, b…

This news story has been strange for me for awhile because on one hand NO our public officials should not be using Signal, but it isn’t because Signal is a bad technology choice. S…

Etsy finally got rid of Reverb.com and handed it to a Fender related private equity firm.

I was really hoping to find out they were hosting their DNS on GoDaddy. I still want it to be true.

Is meilisearch ready for production workloads? I would love to use some of the feature set, but is the only option for HA running multiple instances and keeping them in sync?

Just ran this on a 4000RTX with 24gb of vram and it struggles to load, but it’s very fast once the model loads.

I’m certainly guilty of using one of these hosted cli tools in a pinch (crontab I can’t quit you), but adding an LLM in the mix just adds more complexity. Getting a few of these to…

In the age of docker anything almost anything can be a single file binary if you don’t mind pushing gigs of data around.
