Viewing profile — hopeless

My first thought would be that they've been hacked (or something else, like a CRM attached to their systems, has).

A bit of a bizarre post since to_sgid has existed forever to generate signed global ids. Global IDs are probably one the most powerful and underrated features of Rails but regular …

What if agentic coding results in _less_ dopamine than manual coding? Because honestly I think that's more likely and jives with my experience. There's no flow state to be achieved…

I think a better way question is how much damage they might inadvertently do without being evil

ah, I think it was prior to the caching actions so I'll see if I can try again today. Thanks

I'd love to see some more detailed write-up on how to switch to Warpbuild for different tech stacks. I tried a few months ago when the instructions were basically just to change th…

I worked on agent-based systems >20 years ago, including large research projects and standardisation/interoperability work. Ultimately, that effort failed but I don’t see any aware…

yes (at least, that's my theory and experience too)

https://jamie.ideasasylum.com Been blogging since ~2000 but archived most the old stuff. Just rebuilt it on Bridgetown, Tailwind, and Cloudflare Pages because I had some free time.…

I've been using https://www.tinycert.org/ for years which basically lets you create your own certificate authority and issue certs (which obviously aren't trusted by everyone but c…

yeah, I've had Americans say 6AM EST during the summer when it's EDT

A lot of people complained that GDPR was too onerous on small firms and that they should be exempt. According to LinkedIn https://ie.linkedin.com/company/exactis-llc Exactis has ju…

This would make a great AR app: standing at the clifftops, looking out at the empty seas, only to reveal the wrecks and stories lying underneath

Probably the most famous wartime loss was the Lusitania off the Old Head of Kinsale. Its fame is partly that it was a Cunard ship like the Titanic, and partly because of the contro…

Practice spotting someone drowning from real videos of public swimming pools: http://spotthedrowningchild.com/ It's good but not perfect since the lifeguard thankfully rescues them…

Particularly when the wrong flag is used. In this case, Gaelige is given the Scottish flag when it's actually the official language of Ireland in the EU. Scots and Irish Gaelige ar…

If you outside the EU, it really isn’t about “anyone coming after you”. Even within the EU the enforcement actions currently err of the side of a stern warning rather than fine (ex…

Love the domain name! And some of the screenshots reveal an approach to hiring which is sorely lacking. At this stage, every single LinkedIn email and cold outreach email from a re…

yep, you're not the first to recommend it. I was hoping there were a few others in the same vein

oops, yeah, Crew Resource Management is what I meant — things like making sure a junior officer can question a senior officer when she sees a problem. Crew Relationship Management …

There's a lot we can learn from aviation: accident retrospectives, checklists, master caution alarms, crew relationship management, human factors research, etc. However, my knowled…

Yes, happy to pay more often. Or just have smaller releases. It must have been years since I last paid for Sublime

Congratulations! You've now secured your connection — now you have a server to secure. Honestly, it frightens me how many people run their own servers without monitoring, security …

To take the opposite position: I'd _happily_ pay $100/year to ensure Sublime continues as an ongoing business. I've already bought my ST2 and ST3 licences and honestly just looking…

It's not about the banks selling your information but about you having (or giving) access to your information. For example, manually retyping my bank account transactions into my a…
