They are still in lots of cities outside Toronto.

Awful headline and I doubt it's what the author would have chosen, given that her comments are much more to do with supply: > “In San Francisco, demand is reflected in increased pr…

Externalities were a very big part of my first-year microeconomics course circa 2008, FWIW.

Yes, Package Identity was the bane of my existence for a while. It's wild how MS gated important APIs behind it and then made it so difficult+impractical to work with (I honestly t…

This was with an iCloud email address.

The search bugs in Mail are absolutely real. They might not affect every user but I've had major issues on both macOS and iOS mail, and eventually gave up and switched to Gmail.

That makes sense to me, thanks for the clarification.

I can see where Mario is coming from, but IMO MCP still has a place because it 1) solves authentication+discoverability, 2) doesn't require code execution. MCP shines when you want…

120m would be an absolutely insane width for a trench. It seems more likely that you’ve misinterpreted that.

Midori was fascinating. Joe Duffy's writing on it is the most comprehensive I've seen: https://joeduffyblog.com/2015/11/03/blogging-about-midori/ I've heard someone at Microsoft de…

Not just that - for every tool call, the user's agent has to output some extra tokens to put the context info in the additional argument.

Similar approach as MCPCat (telling agents to specify context about why a tool was called in special tool arguments): https://mcpcat.io/ I don't love it (potential privacy issues, …

That's more or less how Tokyo works. Almost no on-street parking, people have to prove that they have a parking spot when buying a car, liberal zoning so there are lots of very sma…

Sharpening a knife to r/sharpening standards is hard. But just honing frequently and occasionally using a cheap sharpener will get you further than 95% of home chefs.

> This has already led to more easily introducing GUI features like a new GTK titlebar tabs option Yes! This is huge, I previously gave up on Ghostty because the title bar wasted s…

I work in this space and I was not able to understand how this project works in a couple minutes. The README feels LLM-generated. I think you're supposed to point this at your MCP …

Aider is good at one-shotting Git commits, but requires a human in the loop for a lot of iteration. Claude Code is better at iterating on problems that take multiple tries to get r…

Anthropic's Research is pretty good; I'd say on par with OpenAI. Agreed about Google, accuracy is a little better on the paid version but the reports are still frustrating to read …

Been impressed by this; it's really fun to watch Void interact with people on Bluesky.

That's sort of the popular wisdom, but rails don't guarantee it will be there for the long run. DC recently announced that they're replacing their light rail with buses: https://ww…

This is very useful, thanks. I've implemented similar authentication with tower_cookies in a home project, and it took me a long time to figure out; Axum is powerful but not always…

The README was meh but skimming the source code was amusing. If nothing else, they certainly committed to the bit.
