I like that there's a list of primary sources at the bottom. Kagi's AI assistant has been satisfying compared to Claude and ChatGPT, both of which insisted on having a personality …

See also their User Stories: https://juicefs.com/en/blog/user-stories I'm not an enterprise-storage guy (just sqlite on a local volume for me so far!) so those really helped de-abs…

Great little to-the-point writeup. Thanks! This is helpful for me choosing my own small-scale stack, which I've been having trouble with lately. One major difference is that I'm cu…

I've switched to a flatpak-based immutable distro lately. It's great when it works. But so many niceties don't work, and then it feels like my computer is not really the fantastic …

I don't know anything about compliers, so this note about reasons and intentions from the presentation link was helpful to me: > YJIT can make Ruby code run faster, but this is a b…

This is really surprising to me. Wouldn't this make it a good deal more expensive to produce most kinds of apparel and some merchandise? Maybe I'm out of date on modern printing an…

Oh wow! It took me a bit to realize this was DHH of Ruby on Rails fame (among other things). I like this message. After a career in Java, bash, Python, PHP, and a half-dozen config…

Super cool. Thanks for maintaining this. I read manga extensively on my Kobo Forma with koreader. I wrote a script with imagemagick to scale, trim, adjust contrast, map to 16 color…

Very cool! You've quite nicely rendered some of Aseprite's attractive window chrome. I draw "pixel art" in Krita with my "Flipnot Brushkit" brushes [1], which I prefer for Homestuc…

I observe that the letter of the law intends to severely restrict pornographic materials from being made available to minors: see "harmful content" [1] and obscenity [2] definition…

Very, very cool. Rather few of the stereotypical hacker crowd may be ultimately affected by this---unless Mr. Friede injects himself with some trojans and worms as well! (Forgive m…

Very cool. I'm one of the few (it seems) who likes these styles of chart, so that was a nice surprise. I love Ruby, and one of my few qualms about using it is that it doesn't reall…

"Crown of Ash and Honor," the sample book linked on the "Start Writing" page [1], seems like a counterproductive example. With "novel-length drafts" being the main selling point fo…

Do you ever handle the physical book, or is this a fully automated drop-shipping operation?

Great, original article. I didn't notice at first that this blogger is the very same author behind Blue95: https://github.com/winblues/blue95 I used to love theming my desktop envi…

The app looks and feels great. Very smooth, I can see you were considerate of the zen experience. It's very easy to misread the name as -isv. Small ux bug: when starting a new chat…

This tweet seems to be the only primary source available for the letter in question: https://x.com/_Eric_Reinhart/status/1912958244768690407

Not only is this a wonderful idea, the skeuomorphic design looks awesome and it works well on mobile. Wow! Note also that the source can be found through the menu button, which lea…

"The Laundry Files" is one of Charles Stross's (the author of this article) fun series, although it's more a kind of urban (bureaucratic) fantasy than sci-fi. I'm surprised he does…

BR confuses me because when I look at blocks of BR-enabled text, I feel less mental strain. Yet the studies and counter-studies (like this article) I've seen only report on compreh…

Without the kid branding and the name "Kermit," which piggybacks off of cultural feelings for marketing, this feels more like just another font. I found the body text hard to read …

Yeah. I feel there's a kind of eternal serenity to be found in truly apolitical works. For everyone to put their connection to Today aside and share in something timeless---that re…

I saw this in action when a friend was live-streaming while vibe coding in Javascript. He noted that dozens of unknown npm packages were installed and running unchecked on his comp…
