Maybe most recognizable: New Wave

What I really want is a trade-in system that pays out closer to what I'd get selling my Macbook on Craigslist or something. I want to stay within Apple's ecosystem and upgrade regu…

Yep, instantly lost all interest. I'm not sure how impressive it is that somebody vibecoded a browser-based chat app over the course of several months. I also don't know what diffe…

Any idea how that works? Something with the microphone maybe?

> But some of us just want to get something out of our heads and built without months of back and forth with a developer. A different perspective: I'd like to still be employed 5 y…

No it did not!

I've seen physical billboards in the Portland, OR area for OpenAI, so I guess that accounts for at least part of it. Not really sure what kind of return they're getting on those bu…

Anecdotally, 2012 is when I got back in to reading for pleasure, as a 16-year-old. I had no friends though, and thought someone cute might see me reading and become interested in m…

I, very genuinely, highly recommend reading the Wikipedia page about the Luddites if you feel confused. This is a class consciousness problem. People feel conflicted because they k…

I get that they're pushing AI really hard, but the article bearing so many of the hallmarks of being AI-generated almost feels crass, like there are no humans at the company who fe…

I evangelized localstack at my company a while back, but as we integrated it deeper into our CI test runs we started running into more and more things they don't support, and it fe…

Not the person you replied to, but I immediately switched back to iTerm2 after finding that Ghostty broke SSH to nearly all my servers by having an odd custom terminfo thing or som…

Yes! I love to code. I love the entire process end-to-end. I love doing all the things people say they prefer to hand off to LLMs. Makes me sad to see all the people allowing corpo…

At that point, why not just pirate and cut out the used disk middleman since the original creators aren't seeing any money from the purchase at that point anyway?

Seconded. My experience has been that -- even while still complying with lots of overhead (e.g. government regulations and compliance) -- smaller teams of 1-3 devs move waaaaay fas…

My spouse and I regularly import vintage toys and collectables from Asian countries. We've paid hundreds of dollars in tariffs on items that this point about manufacturing doesn't …

If you use OpenTelemetry, it basically does exactly that and you can send traces to some self-hosted FOSS visualizer, like Jaeger. You can also easily get the UUID of the spans/tra…

As soon as I saw the title I hoped this would be a nicole.express link and it was. Every post is gold.

No heart attacks or strokes? I'm in the same boat (hereditary issue), and altering my diet has never had any substantial effect on my numbers. I'm not overweight and rarely eat red…

Devil's advocate: it seems similar to reassigning a lease if you want out before it ends. Lease reassignment is a common clause in rental agreements, it sounds like Apple simply al…

As someone who does a lot of Go, glancing over Factor's syntax in your links makes my eyes glaze over. I'm sure it's perfectly understandable if you take the time to learn it, but …

See the documentary Hypernormalization for a more in depth look at this feeling

It's incorrect. The copyright holder of any work is obviously well within their rights to yank it from shelves (physical or otherwise). That doesn't make piracy legal.

The naive programmer in me wants to assume, "It can't possibly be that hard to simulate a circuit," and get to work on prototyping my own simulation engine but the fact that this a…
