Far worse than "decimate", which implies that nine tenths of it survives.

The latter is pretty easy to vibe-patch in: https://github.com/burke/helix/pull/1

I have used perkeep. I still do at least in theory. I love the concept of it but it’s become… not quite abandonware, but it never gained enough traction to really take on a full li…

If Apple would just ship bind mounts and FS/pid namespaces... or even just un-break chroot...

It's pretty frustrating to see a press release with "Try on ChatGPT" and then not see the models available even though I'm paying them $200/mo.

Various suggestions that have improved objective outcomes. Also, perhaps more often useful, is just "hey, tell me about ___ in the context of whatever I've told you about me" kind …

Troubleshooting some chronic inflammation issues (plausibly, like OP, an autoimmune issue) It's suggested a few supplements that have helped a lot, helped me figure out dosing and …

Anyone doubting this really has no idea what they're talking about. Set up a "Health & Fitness" project in Claude (or whatever). Feed it: * Basic data: height, weight, age, sex * B…

DC has a staggering density of restricted airspace; Reagan National has unusually tight approach/departure requirements... so it doesn't surprise me that if this was going to happe…

Hah neat! I've never seen anything expect centiseconds before. Had no idea this was the way gifs are encoded. Bizarre.

Yep. However, before the Apple Silicon migration, VT-x gave us extremely low-overhead virtualization. We built a tiny linux kernel that booted in a second or two and were able to r…

File Provider: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/fileprovider/ Interesting, I hadn't heard of this. First impression skimming the docs is that they've gone to significant t…

It's very heavyweight, and there's no good shared filesystem option. We did use virtualization for a bunch of stuff before the move to Apple Silicon, back when Hypervisor.framework…

As someone working in developer tools for a company with thousands of people developing software on MacBooks, MAN do I resent SIP. I've recently started calling it "Systems Impleme…

Lithium ion batteries in devices are sandwiched layers enclosed in a kind of 'pouch', right? So what if you manufactured one of these that looked identical to the normal battery, b…

parent knows what they’re doing here but a helpful thing to know is that you generally want at least 3-5% salt by weight for safety (though less can be okay, depending on other fac…

Fair. Probably this phenomenon is more limited to Vipassana specifically than I was guessing. I take the point about the Theravadan rhetorical move here but I still feel like at th…

Neat, that is a good one, thanks!

Vitakka and vicara are these two terms translated as applied and sustained thought or so, and are kind of famously debated in terms of their specific meaning. Some translations/int…
