Good to know I'll still have the reassurance of a 9:30 standup even though AI is reading my thoughts.

I'm trying to get into Gastown, and now Wasteland is kind of breaking my mind. I looked into what kind of data was being published and found that I could just read the public dolt …

The MIDI sequencer that launched a thousand 90s EDM careers. Unique workflow that I wanted to preserve so I reversed it and built a simulator with Claude.

I always wanted to pipe `ps -a` to something interactive using vim key bindings to select the process to kill. Maybe now someone in the comments will tell me how to do it with xarg…

The authors mention the possibility of holographic curing of multiple simultaneous layers. That seems significant although they haven't demonstrated it here.

There was GEOS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEOS_(8-bit_operating_system) in 1986.

This is basically the Atomic CSS idea [1]. Yes it violates separation of concerns, but it does a good job at getting the page weight down. [1] http://acss.io

This is one of the reasons I stopped messing around trying to find the perfect text editor. I focused on getting better with a stock VIM install. I think the spirit of this post is…

Citing a single data point doesn't refute the quoted assertion. It is basically the same as me trying to refute that air travel is safer than automobile travel per passenger mile b…

It takes a lot of discipline to run a shared power setup like you describe. Most of those servers that have two power supplies operate in a shared power mode, rather than active/fa…

I used to use CopSSH for running sshd on Windows. Worked pretty well from what I can remember. It's just cygwin+sshd packaged up nicely.

> by acknowledging the mastery, we have changed the practice. I'm somehow (without irony) enlightened by this statement.

I wrote something like this as a user script that works in FF(w/Greasemonkey)/Chrome/Opera a while ago [1]. The idea is to remove individual stories or add filters rather than remo…

I like the declarative way of defining/extending the highlighters in code. Clean, direct and easy to grok if you're familiar with regexps.
