Sibling comment called it: these are dynamic libs used by the desktop, so the incremental RAM usage is low. That's a good approach! Makes me wonder what the heck MS is doing to get…

I mean, you're getting dumped on for this, but it seems about right? For an extreme example: curl https://wttr.in/ Inside of a conky widget would do the trick, I think. https://git…

Doxylamine succinate is a fairly powerful antihistamine. I only take it when I'm sick, and I take a half -dose. It has closer to a 12-hour half life, which is why you felt so grogg…

For sure! I'll be doing a Show HN at some point, just want to feel a bit more confident about certain aspects first.

Spawning subagents via orchestrate and using /advisor are both super valuable. Haven't really unlocked the full capability of omp yet, but hoping to over time.

Sorry, a collection of apps whose size is between 30kb and 250kb.

Their business model depends on you not looking too closely here. Apple has a lot of legitimate advantages, but they oversell the safety of the App Store quite a bit, and they also…

This kind of thing reminds me of why I've always felt there shouldn't be a gatekeeper. Add your repos, install your apps. Folks should be allowed to have more than one repo to inst…

Seconded. I love OpenCode and Pi, but omp is my daily driver.

I've posted a few times about my project that's a collection of 30k-250k webapps that are served from a WebDAV server. The apps know how to write updated copies of themselves back …

"It was written with AI!" is boring (and often wrong). It shows up on almost every post, and doesn't require any skill or insight. That's why GP said "Can you please not?" It's jus…

This is why I'm tired of the "this is AI slop" commentary. I'm well past trying to determine whether a human wrote something, and have fallen back to my old ways of critical readin…

Pangram is a complete scam. There is no durable way to detect whether something was written with AI. I've had folks say they ran pangram on my writing and it was "100% AI". Except …

The problem with this is that agents are neither going to be as reliable or as cheap to run as the software they produce that does it deterministically. I see what the author is ge…

It's weirdly kinda true...at least in games, my kids and I noticed that there were a bonkers number of great games in 2016 in particular, but also kind of around that period (2018 …

Upvoted not for your particular phrasing, but because in a sense, this was my experience as well: I wanted to work at Google, and I thought Google was learning how to marry a great…

Well, you're at Amazon. Is the Dev Improvement discussion group still around? I feel like that was a pretty good place to learn about neat stuff (in my case, Emacs-related). I enjo…

That's fair. I still think there big similarities (people with money seeing it as the future and investing heavily, even if in reckless ways), but I agree there's a forcefulness to…

Exactly. The users of e.g. autohotkey are in a vanishing minority. It's the kind of stuff I'd like to see advertised more in the OS, as though a product manager had on OKR to move …

I agree. It won't empower them because they've been trained to think they have no power. I wasn't really talking about fetching email.

Yeah, I've been writing software that provides feeds for RSS, but I exclusively use Atom. It's just a better format. It does create ambiguity when using a site like this because I'…

I was talking to my wife about this a little bit, that the promise of computers has never really been realized in the sense that we don't put power in the hands of the end user. Li…

Related: You can perfectly well upload WebXDC's to your "Saved Messages" channel (the channel where you DM yourself) to have a single user app running on the platform. It already h…

Yeah, it's a pretty fascinating architecture. I already have a side project called AppDeck where I've been buliding out a WebDAV server and a suite of HTML apps that know how to sa…
