There was a well known Firstclass server in France in the 90s called Ellis, dedicated to everything Apple/Macintosh. I still have real-life friends I made back then on that server.…

Damn, just when we of the emulator and vintage stuff scene thought we were safe using the old colors as they hadn't any relevance anymore, booom, it suddenly becomes trendy again.

Modern transceivers can do 10G on absolutely garbage twisted pair. My house was wired with absolutely dire cat5 cabling. Zero shielding and barely any copper in the pairs. I though…

I got fired off pair.com because I had a wildcard email, and was receiving (and to my credit, discarding) millions of emails... a day... on my personal domain. Whoops. I still use …

Thank you for not calling film photography "analog" -- I've been at it for 25 years and I'm also an engineer, and I cringe still everytime I hear/read "analog" photography, while t…

At last, something that isn't about python! :>

Thats why they've been increasing the service interval to silly numbers. 3 years ago, 10k miles, now... 18k miles for the same model of car for the first service! Absolutely insane…

Another thing if you are recovering and have limited dexterity in your hands, after trying pretty much ALL the voice recognition I could find, the VScode/copilot assistant is the b…

Had a stroke 2 months ago at 55, after an entire life (professionally since I'm 16) as a dev. I mostly followed these rules apart from when I got dragged into a project that was su…

Pro tip: Do not use on your internet router if it is ALSO the DHCP server, as the JetKVM is by default DHCP (with no backup fallback to a LL address) so if your server somehow need…

No they won't. I've seen them coming a looooong way. I even re-baptised arduidiots [0] quite a while ago. Since the "branding" fiasco I've stayed well clear of them. [0]: https://g…

I use NFS as a keystone of a pretty large multi-million data center application. I run it on a dedicated 100Gb network with 9k frames and it works fantastic. I'm pretty sure it is …

I'm amazed to see kids and adult wearing shorts going out for forest walks. We are in an area of dense woods filled with deer, and even the fields are full of sheep that also carry…

Same here, nnn feels so much lighter too. It also works out of the box, no need to carry around "your" .rc file on dozens of systems as you work

I have a debian box I installed in 2002. Trust me, it works :-)

Interesting, I actually do have a coding-guidelines.md file for that purpose, but I hadn't thought of having the LLM either generate it, or maintain it; good idea! :-)

In my experience, this is a problem without LLM anyway; many times you cannot just tell coworkers (junior, or not) to completely trash their patch and do it again (even using nicer…

Ahaha you likely haven't seen as many Junior Programmer as I have then! But I agree completely some juniors are a pleasure to see bloom, it's nice when one day you see their eye sh…

I personally treat the LLM as a very junior programmer. He's willing to work, will take instructions, but his knowledge of the codebase, and patterns we use is lacking strongly. So…

Also, make it it auto-pushes somewhere else, I use aider a lot, and I have a regular task that backs everything up at regular interval, just to make sure the LLM doesn't decide to …

Same here, I also have a env key which I use with Aider. Mind you aider+gemini has gone excruciatingly slow these days.

Have you tried Fluorocarbon? this has replaced Nylon for many fishing use (fly fishing in any case), it has a different refraction index -- not sure if it would be closer, or furth…

Very nice article, seems to mention all the modern bits that helps making makefile so, SO much easier than in decades past... The interesting bits are for example the -MMD flag to …

Well apart from tinc, which has been doing that for decades [0] :-) -- and has been doing that since Linux was something that still ran on 8MB of RAM. [0]: https://www.tinc-vpn.org…
