Let's see... You can be part of the new reputation economy, IF you can afford Multiple Claude Max subscriptions and use all your tokens for it. Kind of like "getting good" at a col…

I'm picturing all that coming from Max Headroom...

They're spinning this as a positive learning experience, and trying to make themselves look good. But, make no mistake, this was a failure on Anthropic's part to prevent this kind …

I'm finding that Bitbucket works well enough for my needs. It's CI is kind of an acquired taste, but once you hammer it into shape, it'll do what you need.

There's going to be a demand for Artisanal/Organic/Hallucination-free programmers in the future, much like there's a demand for COBOL programmers now, but bigger.

I'm building a music file manager using Electron. I'm deferring the actual music playing to VLC, but I need a way to sort through my many audio files to quickly select and launch w…

I wonder when we'll start marketing our zero-AI products as "artisanal", "organic", "no GMO", "hallucination-free"...

The problem with the proposed solution is that many teams can't accurately break down tasks small enough. And, even those smaller tasks have variability in how long they take to do…

SharePoint itself was only built so that it could be marketed as a "Notes killer". It doesn't do nearly what Notes did, but most shops only found that out after they were told to t…

Why not both? Not at the same time, of course. Neither is exclusive of the other. I'd start with React, since it's 80% of the market. But, once you feel comfortable with that, move…

I've had a good experience with a Geekom mini pc so far.

Keep an eye on this, because this will do nothing to lower congestion in NYC. It's purely a money grab. The drop in traffic that experts are expecting already happened during the B…

Express is still the "go-to" now, because it's the rare case of a Node library that's stable, battle-tested, and doesn't change much. (Yes, the maintainers having not been able to …

Feels like there's so much massive societal damage coming out of Stanford (Theranos, FTX, so much more...), that it's kind of a dying platform. If I'm a high-achieving high-schoole…

I ended up using Dropbox Paper, since it came along with my Dropbox subscription, anyway.

We rely heavily on Redirect components, to support a "legacy" URL structure being forwarded to the current URLs. We are able to resolve these forwards server side during SSR. That …

Personally, I can't go with this advice. We're on 2.5 years rolling our own, and it's been really clear that we made the right choice in not going with next.js, which was the only …

Wow. So much complexity here that they seem to not realize that they've added. Feels like they're just replacing one problem with another, rather than solving anything.

You do realize that this speech was actually part of the Russian plot itself? The tell is him calling out Walter Mondale. As we know now, the real "destabilization" started with Re…

My take: Start by talking to a therapist. The question that it sounds like you want to answer is, "What am I missing?" Going minimal may help, but it also may not. The first step i…

We do. But, depending on your project, you may need to do extra work to corral the complexity that can grow up around them. We wrote a library for using them in our web apps that a…

Perhaps the most important thing we can do is fund a scraper that creates an RSS feed for sites that don't have one.

Keep in mind that a lot of NYC's heat is provided by a steam system managed by Con Ed. I don't know if anyone is building new construction that leverages it, but it's there as an o…
