    The premise of that article is neat, but it looks to be entirely LLM-generated (in addition to the header image) that it’s almost impossible to read.

    I'm disappointed that the three photos in the Gallery with the laptop in use aren't actually showing what the screen would look like IRL; they've been cleverly doctored by overlayi…

    I found out about this book through the EmbeddedFM podcast [1]. Their latest episode is an interview with the authors of the book. Highly recommend the episode, and the podcast in …

    Have a look at CDKTF [1]. It’s a wrapper around Terraform that lets you use CDK-style semantics that compiles down to a Terraform plan. Every Terraform provider can generated into …

    I'm looking forward to the improved editor experience as gopls is now workspace-aware. There's a couple of repos at work which contain multiple Go modules (each in their own subdir…

    We've gradually been having control of the software we use wrestled away from us. The (unfortunate) idea is that network latency will be low enough, and rendered interfaces will be…

    The hardware will probably have the capabilities to do so, but I can see consumer software reaching a point where much of the compute is performed remotely, and we're just being st…

    This is really cool! I've used an app called PhotoPills to plan landscape photo shoots in the past. It lets you drop a pin on a map and shows you the direction of sunlight at any g…
