Agree, but there's also the psychological impact of having spent over 200 smackers on this thing and then letting it go unused lol

Wouldn't surprise me if the real purpose of this is to get a physical object on your desk that makes you constantly think about Codex -- either babysitting your currently-running a…

> I watch engineers pick up design so the thing looks good and feels good, not just runs. The work pulls you into the parts you used to hand to someone else. We’re all stretching w…

I almost never reply to replies on something that I wrote in a public forum, because I stand by what I wrote as a complete statement and don't feel the need to defend it further. I…

> No philosophical analysis can beat one from a scientific and logical perspective. I disagree, and offer the world of 2026 as anecdotal evidence lol. Most of what you wrote implie…

Agreed; typically (especially if a client is involved) I’ve seen creative and dev define and articulate spec and expected behavior, and BA documents it. Then, when it inevitably ev…

Also a Brother laser user here (HL-L2340D) -- it's single-function, so not gonna do color, scanning, copying, etc, but it's been a beast for workhorse black and white printing. Uns…

Email is still (and IMO always will be) the defacto method of communication for anything professional, regardless of whether it's 1994, 2026 or 2095. I'm not even totally convinced…

This is super duper cool! I sat there and watched like 10 minutes of a live game and it was just balls, strikes, swing & miss, and foul LOL -- reminded me of that old Simpsons epis…

Same, Drudge Report was one of the only sites that actually loaded consistently for me that morning. I think BBC may have held up a bit better than US news sites too. I remember th…

I'm on a dual-E5 2667-v4 / 256 GB DDR4 Z640 with a 1080ti that I picked up all the various pieces for (aside from SSDs) for less than $500 total in the first half of 2025 (case, PS…

I agree with you completely, but I also have never been able to square the idea of how any of that stuff would still exist if we didn't have jobs. Sports (in some aspects) needs fa…

I suspect it was an intentional choice so that artist names like Jay-Z remain properly separated in the URL, especially in cases of multiple-artist billings (ex. https://www.last.f…

When I pair Claude and Codex, I use claude-co-commands [0] to drive from Claude and talk to Codex via MCP. Lately I've found Codex has been far more consistent for my specific proj…

Now I wonder if it was WOW! [0] instead of WorldsAway. Can't remember with any clarity lol [0] https://www.wired.com/1996/11/compuserve-fails-to-wow-consum...

I personally loathe meetups, and love them. It just depends on what they are and how they're run. In the mid 90's, CompuServe sponsored a Boy Scouts Explorer Post at their headquar…

Anecdata, but of the clips I've seen going around from Woz's speech, there were quite a few comments from people who claimed to have been there for the whole ceremony, most of whic…

Just be up front about it; these tools are a simple reality at this point. Own the usage, own the output, take responsibility for the totality of what you’ve birthed into the world…

Throwback to A Simple and Convenient Synthesis of Pseudoephedrine From N-Methylamphetamine [0] [1], a 2012 paper describing how to synthesize Sudafed from meth lol [0] https://impr…

Codex is freakin hot-to-trot to churn out test coverage for every single thing it implements, and some of it is very esoteric and highly prescriptive (regexes for days) BUT .. afte…

Yeah they could add grayscale to the filter rule to make the colors go away. #dither-demo img.dithered { filter: url(#dither) grayscale(1); }

I'm only writing this because Devil's advocate and all, but what if you're actually capable of all those things? Plenty of us here can conceive, design, architect, build, ship and …

PairDrop [0] gets the job done as a "good enough" cross-platform / cross-device AirDrop replacement if you're on the same network. For practical, casual use with non-tech users (li…
