    I had to scroll too far for someone to mention third-party CI. GitHub Actions free runners have always sucked, but the third-party runner ecosystem is really strong for those who c…

    there are quite a few features like this. I actually did a comparison of chromium vs edge headers yesterday, it's a lot more than a rebrand. shame the source code is proprietary ht…

    shame they paywalled JWT authn behind their expensive PaaS offering :( forced us to use an alternative, and paywalling security features in an "open source" product didn't make us …

    this is really helpful, thanks. how much are third-party models changing these workflows (LLMs etc)? would you still spend as much time on feature engineering and evaluation? I'm w…

    I host a usable web app like this, including a complete CLI via WebAssembly. it's surprisingly useful for teaching, kind of like CyberChef https://openssl.tplant.com.au/

    it's not as expensive as it looks, if you don't count time. CNC alu and the display would be the biggest costs. other carrier board projects use 3d printing over CNC, but the displ…

    mainline LTS is good enough to boot and perform well, but it's still missing media and NPU features. as someone who briefly worked on mainlining, I feel the biggest problem is Turi…

    its layout engine is the real magic for me, it allows complex diagrams that are just unreadable in graphviz or mermaid. a concise DSL and animation support are bonuses too
