I’ve near infinite respect for DJB, so I’m assuming I’ve missed something obvious here. Why is ‘,’ being used as a termination byte. Is it just a backstop? If buf[len+1] != ‘,’ the…

I think homogeneity is an unavoidable end game for the internet (unfortunately). At work we’ve been discussing whether to migrate off our home grown component library to Material U…

$VC disagrees w/ you on this. Unfortunately. Personally, I still pay Zed because I think they’re doing great foundational work. However I’ve now almost entirely migrated to helix f…

I was feeling this pain also; so I switched my workflow to watching file changes with lazygit, and then switching to helix to make small tweaks. Another option you may want to try …

I suppose that would depend on the restaurant / patron. For example, in Texas there are loads of TexMex restaurants and Hispanic cultures actually embrace children as part of the e…

Horses for courses. Our we let our 2yo run riot at restaurants while we enjoy our food. It was an adaptation for my wife, for sure. I love it and best I can tell other patrons and …

The Attention algo does that, it has a recency bias. Your observation is not necessarily indicative of Claude not loading CLAUDE.md. I think you may be observing context rot? How m…

Pretty sure I just ran a nix flake update. Here are the links from my journal: This went into nixpkgs: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/376988 Which then changed the api betwe…

That’s great to know! There are plenty of issues which are reasonably well documented in the zed repo. https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/26277 About 4mos ago I moved to …

This is all great feedback, thanks! I got here through devenv, I was fully bought in on its proposal and once I found its edges I started peeking under the covers to understand how…

My principle of adoption was essentially this but in reverse; use it on the system I use the most (macOS), learn, and then use my niche knowledge to apply it to less frequently use…

In practice nix-darwin relies on being a drop in, which means maintaining compatibility with api surface which in the proper nixpkgs world is a closed loop. There are several cases…

I’m about 18mos into managing my macOS hardware with Nix. And I’m conflicted. It’s clearly a powerful system, and I’m still very noob at it. It’s not clear to me that it’s the righ…

Serious question: how in theory? I’m under the impression you need to radiate through matter (air, water, physical materials, etc). Is my understanding of the theory just wrong?

Yeah, to that point I’ve been interested in trying out a Shadow Systems CRp. But haven’t found a place carrying them..

Same, fortunately my local shooting range has a good selection of firearms to try. I tried the P320 and P365. I had been considering the P365, but it was so snappy I reasoned the o…

When the plaintiff is the US Armed Forces, does this still hold? Surely the contract with an arm of the military doesn't have the same protections?

I found the syncing process in chezmoi to be so hard to mentally model. I’d often change a file, forget that it was backed by the chezmoi store, later find myself trying to reconci…

Oh man… that “how normal is this thing of mine” feeling writing nix gives me is such a weird characteristic of the ecosystem. I simultaneously don’t want anyone to see mine while d…

I do find the ironies in political platforms quite beautiful. I also love how they provides endless fodder for largely fruitless internet discussion ^_^

Hey now. America is a broad spectrum of people — some of us are heretical and believe governments have a role in everyday life, some of us believe the opposite.

If you only ever look at the way a system works at a specific point in time you only observe it at that point in time. America has had multiple attempts at solutions for healthcare…

For counter argument sake, if a highly regarded company says: “we’re going in a hiring spree”, all of that available talent adds 50% to their comp ask. Broadly speaking though, I t…

Honestly, I didn’t ever ask. As the SWE on the project I just had to switch a DIO on/off based on the reading from an AIO. I just trusted that the EE and ME folks were making smart…
