For folks who don't know how passkeys work at a technical level, take a look at this implementation guide: https://webauthn.guide/ I don't get the passkey hate -- moving to public …

Good question! - Transparency about the work. (Communicate progress without being prompted. Share screenshots & be excited about what you develop!) - Don't be a hero. (If something…

I've used ChatGPT to write my tests. It's pretty effective at getting the first 5-6 use cases written out, but in a style that isn't correct. Copy/paste a code module, ask it to wr…

I have an HD Fury Arcana 2 VRR which overlays text (eg: bitrate information) on top of my normal HDMI signal. ( https://hdfury.com/ ) I don't think this behavior is customizable.. …

I think most stressful development environments happen because a manager either isn't familiar with how software development is done (resulting in unreasonable expectations), or th…

It’s not just you. I echo your sentiments. I use Twitter for tech, but my feed is now conservative politics, gore video, & tech tweets intermingled.

Ok, I think I understand the hype now — this is sweet? Thanks for the reply. When I was thinking about rolling my own federated social service (during the whole Twitter / Mastodon …

If I wanted to create a consumer hardware product that packages the PDS host in a user-friendly interface, does the software license permit that? Also, services like Twitter starte…

Thank you for this! I am just about to fix the PSU on my Mac Plus 1MB and this might come in handy.

TIL ARC does ARC.

I think you mean automatic reference counting (ARC) — and ARC happens at compile time as part of a static analysis pass. (The compiler is basically adding retain/release code for y…

I’m an instrument rated private pilot. The things I like about flight simulator: - it’s great for checking out an unfamiliar area you’re flying to - you can connect ForeFlight to i…

Thank you for this! For some reason, I missed this in my reading.

Yes! Pot is very nice for managing the jails — but I didn’t see anything that behaves similar to docker images as part of its feature set?

I’ve been evaluating FreeBSD, and the primary thing that I miss is the ease of use that comes with using docker images. The jails system + zfs is pretty nice. If there was an abili…

I’m glad I’m not the only one who tried it! Didn’t seem that difficult to me?

Why is the adversary assumed to be female?

Kitchen aid stand mixers converted from using metal gearing to plastic gearing in their consumer stand mixers. After a certain amount of use, the gear wears out and costs $50 for a…

I run a self-managed CE GitLab with my own runners — works as expected (no payment required).

Lol! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

The OP is younger than me. You haven’t been to a LAN party until you’ve shocked yourself by unplugging a BNC connector.

I am using the Herman Miller Embody and Envelop desk with a foot rest. Being able to pull the desk in/out, switching between reclined / upright, etc.. is great for varying seating …

Sounds epic, I hope there are pictures!

No, because I believe problems can be iterated on and solutions can be found if people participate in the process. Tearing a system down and replacing it has a significantly higher…

How often are the YC application cycles? I’m about to leave my job to work on a fashion startup with my husband. There are some technical aspects to the business that I am building…
