Citation required. One monitor for nvim/zellij, one for browser & devtools. My __third__ monitor is for YouTube, thankyouverymuch.

This should be front page material if it hasn’t been already. On top of it being thorough and illustrative, it’s surprisingly engaging. Also: I had no idea.

To further back this up, just because OSM might be a map's data source, it doesn't mean they use the same rendered vectors or images for the tiles. I make changes to OSM so they ca…

Completely agree with you. That said, Car Play isn't a panacea for keeping me off my phone though, because some manufacturers have the ability to LIMIT what Car Play can show you. …

You mean the person who wrote the author request the change right? Right? PS - it's knickers

I didn't read it that way (but I can see multiple possible readings). Here's my interpretation: When someone has a shitty public opionion, we force others to MAKE PUBLIC their opin…

Good faith question: would it? Wouldn't most large codebases with poor abstractions just have engineers engineer around them with their own solutions? In a large enough codebase yo…

Missing the splitting axe getting a little jammed at a knot. Otherwise excellent.

I had trouble getting through this one, but I think it's worth digging in a bit. > In just a few short years, Slack has gone on to become an indispensable work tool in our always-o…

Turns out the ideal corporate structure is making everyone front-line or middle managers.

We have a rather large number of Blue Jays that frequent our backyard. The smartest among them can weigh opportunity costs or count, or both. Most of the jays will take two peanuts…

I think one of the big disconnects here are the competing views about "what it achieves" means on a fundamental level. There's the "what it achieves" today; software x works as int…

This isn't defending Bambu, and it's not an ELI5 because, whether you meant it sarcastically or not, the easy answer to your question is "you do not need to connect to a cloud serv…

TLDR; don't use their SaaS offering, but probably better, yes, though who knows for how long. I don't use their SaaS offering, but I've been using the self-hosted versions (mostly …

Thanks for sharing. Former alcoholic, I got similar advice early on. It was life changing. Blocking social media is no different from existing laws for cigarettes, alcohol and vari…

Ark Nova. It's not Agricola-scale, but it has some similar "move maximization" vibes. You can also play it on Steam if you can't find a crop of folks to sit down for three hours wi…

If anyone's looking for a good, quick, 2 player game, Sky Team was a lot of fun. My partner and I are always on the lookout for quick, but strategic 2 player games and this hit the…

Like most things in music there's a real distinction between technical perfection (tuning is one, rhythm another) and music feeling alive. It's why perfectly quantized rhythms and …

I have very fond memories of my first dual-cpu Athlon machine. It was the workstation on which I learned Logic Audio before, you know, Apple bought Emagic. I took that machine, run…

I think you've touched on it, but I'm going try to take it one step further into explicitness. Just over a year ago I decided to switch to Neovim. The reason for switching was pers…

My thoughts: - Did someone really make a VC-backed "Rent-a-swag"? - Did they also go full Saperstein? Yep. They did.

That tracks for me; longtime claude, claude code pro subscriber (not all of it has been good - but that's neither here nor there). Over the last few iterations of Sonnet and Opus, …

Indeed. We can't recognize the real thing anymore. Sort of like what we've done to the truth.

Filming/video and lookups of people filtered through a corporate data mining operation without their consent should also be illegal. I'll take my chances, thank you. I recently had…

Irrespective of the tool itself, which feels like just another "some hidden prompt" tool (sorry author!), one of the things I can't stand about these tools (there was a recent movi…
