Non-typical Kansas voter here. I reviewed candidates and any mention of “cut taxes” is a hard no from me. I have kids, and I want to make sure their schools are fully funded. The o…

Used Claude to write conformance tests for https://aep.dev . https://github.com/thegagne/aep-conformance-test Did pretty well, only took a day or so. I first had it inventory every…

How is it not lights-out? You could remotely power on/off the servers (XServe only). Other Macs could not do this, as they did not have the separate LOM network interfaces, etc. I …

I managed a large enterprise CF account from 2018-2023. Hundreds of load balancers. The UI changed out from under us 3 times, with some big problems being fixed, but introducing ne…

Hm, maybe we should go make one. I am not a power user for Dendron, I mostly just use it for journaling, keeping track of who is who and what is what, and organizing architecture /…

Sure, but I would say you are an outlier in paying for those things. Most people use what's immediately available, others might search for something better that's free, and very fe…

How many text editors have you paid for, versus how many have you used for free? I do think there is room for a few good paid text editors in the world, but most people won't pay d…

Not all software needs to be for-profit. Simple utility stuff I believe should fit in this category. Things like a text editor. The profit comes from elsewhere, larger more complex…

Happy adopter of AEP here. It has been super helpful and the ecosystem is growing around it. The real benefit is having a standardized pattern for APIs, with automation and predict…

Hah, I think about this all the time. I think we subtly desire LLMs to be more and more deterministic and efficient. This is why one of the main uses of LLMs is building tools to m…

I made up an attempt at a solution, https://ktext.dev . Basically a structured context file, that can be used to generate AGENTS.md, and also can be validated and scored. I think i…

If only it could fix the lag with Mac screen sharing in Teams.

This looks great, and possibly useful, but I'm curious, what was the main problem you were trying to solve, or what does this enable for you?

Love TypeSpec, agree it makes writing OpenAPI really easy. But I’ve moved to using https://aep.dev style APIs as much as possible (sometimes written with TypeSpec), because the con…

It mostly does, if you write it well, but it’s less efficient than XML, you have to write it by hand, and there’s no way to “validate” that it’s any good. This is basically a struc…

https://ktext.dev/ Every time you launch a new Claude Code session it will need context for the codebase. Rather than letting it spend a bunch of tokens looking around and discover…

I started building one of these myself, and got something working decently but decided it was too complicated and didm’t really provide value. I then saw GitLab Knowledge Graph. It…

They changed the limits out from under us, and bugs cause usage to spike like crazy.

Which harness and how which GPU?

Out of curiosity, why did you reject Floci? It lacked some feature I needed, so I just went ahead and added them. My needs were not that complex and it has patterns to test that im…

Not if you are part of an org that uses MDM and pushes their own CA to devices.

I think that it has two flaws: - It is too machine like in its definition and requirements and misses the spirit of the ask. - It very much waterfalls it, without asking for feedba…

I am aware of the current issues with open source licensing, but for my needs I don’t trust the elastic style licensing, especially when it claims to be open source but I can’t for…

Speaking of methodical, have you tried AWS Kiro? It has spec driven development, which in my testing yesterday resulted in a boat load of passing tests but zero useful code. It fir…

Consumers are sick of being the victims of a power imbalance already. Social media sites do this kind of personalization on their feeds, but they do not provide the user the power …
