When I could, I try to get AI to write a script to do certain things and use the script from then onwards. Makes it deterministic as well as saves cost.

I would love a pair of ordinary looking glasses that work just as displays. I go for long walks (for health reasons) and it would be really good to watch youtube videos or shows th…

Not sexps, but better. Quite a while back I have read about a system based on Scheme , called termite (I don't remember which scheme that was) that can actually sling live running …

Not In production yes? Also not sure what is SDE.

Unless you have x-forwarding (and an X server running locally) or VNC you can't really use a graphical browser remotely yes? This lets you use it from plain SSH connection?

I do want shell history with folders. I tried a few (Atuin? McFly?) but the performance wasn't good with my massive zsh history (going back several years). Zsh+fzf does a buttery s…

Yeah. That is a sore point. It has overridden a 4000 year old strategy board game played by millions (mostly Asians).

Legitimate Salvage !

A friend and his wife _almost_ fell victim to this last year, in Texas. I think it is a standard script now. Call comes from police department. 'Your son hit a pregnant woman. He i…

That made me laugh. This thread is enumerating all the same talking points of both sides.

I use cmux. Has anyone used both and offer some comparison?

That ship has sailed boss. I don't think you can avoid those much longer.

Yes! When you order a washing machine (I did couple months ago), everything was included. Somebody brought it, lugged it up 3 stairs, fixed it all up and took the old one back. The…

This is an important point for me. I am too lazy (too much executive dysfunction) to research products. I trust Costco to do the product research and offer us a good quality/price …

Yep. Realized that as soon as I looked at the product page :-)

Nice! Does anyone know anything like this for Ghostty?

> Give a cursory answer That may be enough in some cases. Sometimes people are not looking for fully fleshed out high-effort answers. They want a pointer (to documentation, or a re…

>64 GB Thats the rub. I have an M4 with 48G. I wonder if it is worth testing this out. My past attempts (with Ollama and various LLMs) were too slow to use.

Converted all the tabs to spaces? :-) You are right, this is not a rewrite like the Bun case. The real news is, at 50M LOC, it is able to handle and do _something_ coherent.

If it is a one-off task, it doesn't matter if you use GUI or Terminal commands to do it. But more than once, terminal starts paying off IMO. Here are some advantages. - It is repea…

I am currently trying something called ShortCat, this is not just for the browser but works in other Mac applications too! Look Ma, No mouse !

Vimium extension does that. Works well too. Works on Chrome and Firefox.

Perl has powerful regular expressions, but it only goes so far. Doing multiline/nested structured parsing is too painful. Perl6/Raku has built in grammers that can do that idiomati…

I noticed that too. Unless you _ask_ for a script, they throw away the scripts they write. They are particularly bad at complex multiline parsing. Writing all sorts of weird/crude …

Does this abstract over the package management systems (apt, yum , apk etc.)? Or do we still have to write distro specific install commands?
