A big issue is that the keyboard would take up valuable screen estate.

I was considering buying an e-ink device for reading textbooks. Then I remembered that a physical book can’t piss me off. It just works. Buying regular-ink instead, that’s all I wa…

Sprites seems like a solid lifestyle business for a few friends, not a startup that has taken funding. As a developer, I use docker/podman. Works great. The new massive market that…

I sometimes have things to discuss with LLMs, which are more private than usual. I was thinking how to do it in a way that doesn't reveal my identity. 1. Use Tor to access the prov…

I have it on good authority that Putin woke up, took a big fart (the housemaid was surprised), thought the smell was an Ukrainian attack and decided to retaliate. That's how the wa…

Interested in hearing about agentic workflows that have a reasonable level of quality while not breaking the wallet. I'm not up-to-date enough on the latest and greatest, so please…

All public culture documents are bullshit. It always comes down to your direct manager and what they believe in.

> It's already becoming a common strategy I've taken mental health leave (not due to a PIP) and my productivity before and after was significantly different. It was great for my em…

Remember what? That people have different preferences, workflows and methods of staying productive? Someone voiced that they liked a certain tool for a certain feature and suddenly…
