Started vanilla and importing things like projectile, magit, all of that. I didn't like the awkward edges of how they joined tho, and eventually tried switching to Spacemacs with "…

I was an Emacs user for about 3-4 years. I never felt very proficient in it, I always felt like I was cargo culting in config changes that I never felt comfortable with. I liked th…

I'm an Emacs -> VS Code -> Helix convert, have enjoyed using it thus far. I've tried to internalize all the existing keybindings and use thus far rather than configuring it much ( …

LOL, this truly made me laugh. I'm also doing humor stuff with Claude, I was pretty pleased with 3.5 so excited to see what happens with the 3.7 change. It's a radio station with a…

Not a great look when many responses are "if the provider won't protect people, then the researcher should contemplate hurting people".

You can communicate those ideas specifically without hiding it beneath the veneer of relatability. The entire post started with this bit: > But, come on: you never took us too seri…

I am a current Fly customer (personal and work), and have been happy with the service. Will likely be trying this out. That said, the marketing tone of this final part of the blog:…

Yeah, agreed. I use Eleven Labs a lot but this was a very compelling demo to consider changing. Also, curious that you mention Bark - I never found Bark to be very good compared to…

Disclaimer: I'm just an investment noob. Could it just be that investing in Apple could be seen as "I get all the upside of any benefits I would get in investing in TSMC, with the …

Currently using Swift for a side project. It's "server side" in that I have a server implementation that runs on an iOS device and in Linux on a server. Using SwiftNIO for the serv…

Corollary to this: if you have insurance, it's also worth asking your insurance provider if they know of any aid programs that can assist. I was shocked to discover Humana has a te…

If you're near the Canadian border, I've heard some anecdotes about folks crossing to get cheaper insulin. I've not done it, though was on the fence about doing it. Also, I know th…

I say this as someone who bought some INTC a while back expecting something like the following to play out. Last year's (and somewhat, continuing) chip shortage will combine with a…

I enjoyed this article, but I’m confused. The section raising the question about how this has affected other asset prices seems to just posit the question without establishing how …

(Addendum) I did a Fast Ring update on a separate machine and did not see substantial performance improvements, but the comparison is not valid between the machine linked and the m…

Just a note to anyone looking to go down this road: IO performance is still pretty awful last I checked. If your workflow is IO intensive (non trivial Rails app, let's say), procee…

Wow, that is pretty fast. I played w/ doing CSV parsing taking advantage of SIMD string lookahead a while back ( https://gist.github.com/netshade/aa9e836e843c8e84b97a ) and found i…

Awesome, thanks very much.

Nice, thanks for this!

AWS Aurora has been in general release since July 2015. I've been considering using it for a larger project, but casual reading of the AWS forums ( https://forums.aws.amazon.com/se…

Would be cool if this included cstore_fdw as well ( https://github.com/citusdata/cstore_fdw ).

This. I randomly picked Bellingham as a quiet place to go to for a week and do some self-teaching plus vacationing. Decent food, friendly people, nice coffee shops, great areas to …

I had a hell of a time getting PgPool II w/ PG Streaming Replication set up right. The trivial cases seemed to be fine, but when I started triggering failovers back and forth, I ra…

I don't have enough background knowledge to ascertain if this is the correct understanding of the problem, but this explanation reads very well, and is the best 'mechanical' explan…
