It looks pretty :)

Everyone has different requirements and experiences. I switched to Moniker about 4 or 5 years ago and have about a dozen domains there. Never any issues, and a reasonable system.

This reminds me, a couple of months ago I made my Z80 assembler public on GitHub [1] but never mentioned it anywhere. It has the usual opcodes and directives, includes, relocation …

> That is so sad and even somewhat shocking. It would be if it were a meaningful comparison, but it isn't. The comparison shouldn't be about the GDP per capita etc, but the life th…

There's a distinction. - For the AI provider it is a massive money sink due to cost/revenue maths - For the AI consumer it's not a massive money sink if you arrange things so your …

With agentic stuff there's also a large amount of commits which are not code. For instance with OpenClaw and similar, they often simulate institutional and short term memory with m…

A 1-2-1 in this context likely refers to the 1-2-1 sessions some leads/managers have on a regular basis with each of their reports. One on one catch-ups on how they're doing.

As we're sharing pipelines: - I write in Markdown files using VS Code and a custom syntax highlighter - A custom C# tool stitches it together (with YAML metadata) - It generates re…

One of my trifecta of 'perfect' DOS software: DataEase 4.53 , WordPerfect 4.2 , and TopSpeed Modula-2 . Given the restrictions of the day, all three were incredible.

I'm a fair bit lower than some others as I only use it outside of work hours on my own small projects, but my Cursor account shows (for a random recent date) 12,184,233 tokens in a…

If asked, I often name WordPerfect 4.2 as the best software I ever used. And that it was written in assembly is incredible. The book Almost Perfect [1] details those early times at…

Some interesting stuff I wasn't familiar with, thanks. I really like the book Mazes for Programmers by Jamis Buck [1] . Also, my open source Dungeon generator is a (slightly-misnam…

I like how their number one benefit is Order to Seat . In one fell swoop it shows that: * Their priority is revenue above all else (fair enough; honest too) * They are either decep…

> So, a UK-only advice, and it strangely assumes that any other service in UK wouldn’t be bound by the same laws. I suspect it's because whilst other services would be affected we …

Neither has the UK government. * It wasn't the general election. * They offered local councils the chance to request it if they were going through a reorganisation or devolution pr…

Why are we hearing that "studies" have "uncovered the concept of context rot as the number of tokens in the context window increases" ? It's obvious, and we've always known this. A…

Not quite what you wanted, but the Lone Wolf ones are (legally) available online [1]. You may be able to read the downloads, or even the online play versions, with Dutch translatio…

Thanks for the correction. I never read the spec, just started using it. And as I tend to balance my first and last line indentation I never realised.

I much prefer C# 11's raw string literals. It takes the indentation of the first line and assumes the subsequent ones have the same indentation. string json = $""" {title} Welcome …

- Some mentions of Lazarus and FreePascal (so basically a cross-platform open source Delphi equivalent). And I'd agree with them. - For C# I like AOT assemblies using Uno or Avalon…

Reading through the comments there seems to be some misunderstandings leading to issues with a stance that the potential class action is not taking. The class action doesn't relate…

Just because something is on a public website accessible for free doesn't mean it is then public domain. Sharing is not necessarily giving. (Though unfortunately in the Wild West W…

That looks good (not actually cloned and tried it yet). However the screenshots in the README show (for me anyway) as broken links, even though they work when clicked on. I can see…

I blog for the (admittedly infrequent) pleasure of it; I have no expectations, and my page hits confirm that. In the last 180 days there's been 2507 visitors to the home page, 2803…
