    Immich is the best self-hosted app I use. Hats off to the developers!

    Do tell! Specifically the DAW latency problems. I love the idea of running a DAW in a VM on Proxmox.

    GP clearly isn’t talking about 60 year olds who were full stack devs and get on Hacker News.

    Yup. For a while I was switching between all three to see which I liked most, and I always end up coming back to Wezterm. The only issue I’ve encountered is that releases on variou…

    Considering we can't even get corporations and the ultra wealthy to pay even _close_ to their fair share of taxes, forgive me if I'm a little skeptical of the idea that a utopia, s…

    Right there with you. I regularly use Claude for all sorts of tasks, but I am extremely against letting it write loads of code _for_ me. And like you, I find prompting to be a pret…

    Perhaps this will end up being the mythical MacBook-like hardware that I can install Linux on (Asahi notwithstanding).

    Err, nope, it is 100% Cross Desktop Group: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/ That said, you are correct that it has nothing to do with Windows (and I never said that it did).

    "gen 2x2" is Microsoft level bad naming.

    Is there a right kind of anthill to sit on?

    I'm a lifelong musician, went to music school to study jazz and orchestration, was a professional film composer for 15 years prior to pivoting to programming. I've read quite a few…

    Holy shit, a wild Everett Bogue sighting. I read your blog way back. Hope you’re doing well!

    But here's the thing: learning Android dev is nothing like "learning" to use an LLM. Obviously there are tons of tools and systems building up around LLMs, and I don't intend to mi…

    PCIe cards would indeed be useless for AI unless Apple supports third-party GPUs, but there are certainly some pro creators that would still prefer to have them. I myself work in l…

    My theory is that they're going to release a new Mac Pro that's about half the size of the current one. Enough space for some PCIe slots, but otherwise smaller given the enormous a…

    The article specifically talks about B2B and MDM-like features. The "average consumer" isn't the point here -- rather, governments, defense, high-security corporations, etc.

    I always try and keep in mind that we typically think of software as having three versions -- alpha, beta, and release -- but for it's considered even kind of "finished." In my own…

    I'm sorry to burst your bubble but it absolutely is. The pro-Suno vs anti-Suno discussions are just as heated as those in programming.

    I'm so tired of this kind of design -- that basic dev tool splash page/Tailwind-y/Shadcdn UI thing that's just seemingly everywhere nowadays. It's so basic and tired, like Material…

    We are very similar, you and I, and I'm completely with you on all of this.

    Fully disagree. First, I question the value of something merely enduring. But that aside, implicit in what you're saying here is that the "skill of the swing," so to speak, doesn't…
