I have always wondered why awnings and similar covers aren't used more to shade buildings and keep them cool. It seems like the investment should pay itself off in reduced energy e…

They changed the numbering scheme, so... no, there aren't. Version numbers are now year-based, but previously they were not.

I think a lot of folks - myself included - canceled our Hey subscriptions years ago when DHH said some other unfortunate things. I don't have to agree with everyone on everything, …

URL works fine for me using Safari on a non-corporate Mac. You may have jumped to conclusions a little precipitously.

Oh man, I remember this from when I was in college. I didn't really realize it was IRC, and so I thought everybody else in the chat rooms was using it and saw the visualizations. 3…

You pay 3x as much for electricity as I do, so the math here is going to work out very differently depending on a lot of factors.

Pretty sure I could just vibe code this with my old Elgato Stream Deck. As a bonus, it wouldn't become eminently useless if I swap to any other model provider.

I dunno how much easier life was back in May 2021... a year into the pandemonium, heh.

I remember when Linux users were practically obsessive about uptime and restarting felt like a sign of failure. This was at a time when Windows seemingly needed to restart once or …

Mild grammar issues and typos used to annoy me; now I appreciate them as indications of real human connection.

Archaeologists think about this a lot. Many digs leave portions intact specifically so that future scientists, with access to techniques and technologies beyond what's available no…

You were on a plan that explicitly includes ads; if you don't want to see them (I don't either), then you can either upgrade to the no-ad tier or, as you did, cancel. Neither choic…

It was at the very top just now when I looked. That said, the site has so many distracting pop-ups and other interruptions it's hard to see anything there.

Eh. I'm autistic and audio overstimulation is very real for me. When out at a restaurant or similar public place, I often have my AirPods in with nothing playing, just noise cancel…

Surprised to find myself in the top 50%. Like... _really_ surprised.

Right on, nobody will know my name as long as I don't search my name where other people can see it. My name is a secret.

Is this just a vibe-coded IDE? The tagline "Modular IDE designed for agentic coding" and description don't really summarize what this does differently, and I'm not looking at a vid…

Mousssouris is not a "he".

This says a lot, in a very pretty package, about the problem and how we should be motivated to fix it. But it seems like just a manifesto that alludes to a solution without making …

Media consolidation is actively encouraged by the current regime in the US because it lets them have more control.

Not all LLM-assisted coding is vibe coding, even with an agent.

r/MapsWithoutNZ is growing

Every time I think about graphics programming, I think about how we did it in the mid 90s when I was in high school messing around with exactly these things. XOR operations to driv…

My grandfather worked at Philco in the 1950s working on some of these. We have a bunch of family pictures of one of the prototypes he built in college in, like, the 1940s? I think?…
