Rust makes you solve many of your problems upfront, which is a nice feedback loop for using with an LLM. Go does much of this too, but I feel Rust is more experessive and takes the…

I just installed Steam on Ubuntu yesterday, and I'm impressed at the progress so far. A HUGE number of titles run flawlessly.

Soooo close, but I have a 4 floor house. Talk to me when it does stairs.

Now… why is Jira so painfully slow? Even changing the type of a ticket or moving it takes like 20 clicks and a minute

But when you hit that wall, it is hard to stop and convince people to use different patterns and systems. I've seen so many tables go from "it will only be a few thousand rows" to …

For those able to contribute a bit monetarily, he's also got a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/textfiles I love his podcast, and was able to back it for about a year.

I, too, love soldering. I've done it since I was around 6 years old (wood burning before that). It's what I do when I want to zone out and relax. I've found random people at Burnin…

Right? Visicalc wasn't using anything that a terminal didn't offer.

Maybe I've just got deep scars from the 90's, where I'd wait 15-25 minutes sometimes to download a single mp3. I have a FIOS connection here at home, and it seems entirely sufficie…

I could imagine a leadership or viewpoint change in how they reported when/what was down. I've seen so many times where Company A will complain that their vendors aren't accurate e…

This feels a bit like when my friend Colin put out a challenge for people to get Windows XP running on the then-new Intel Macs. I love this idea. I'd love a tiny full computer that…

My first real soldering project (aside from just making cables) was a x0xb0x TB-303 clone. I somehow built it with a $10 radioshack iron and nail-clippers as flush cutters in an un…

I've used it with Claude Code for refactoring and helping write a really in depth D&D campaign. Using frontmatter, I can keep metadata about NPCs and characters synced across all f…

Same. I lost data this way. It wasn't worth it. Happy to support Obsidian

That's a lot of PeDoFiles! (But seriously, great work here!)

I was inspired by the work here, so I sat down with Claude to make something similar, for the purpose of being able to play Z-Machine (Infocom games, Inform 6/7 Z-code) and modern …

I'd have to check, but I wonder what pitch the song is in? Could have it just been sped up ever so slightly in mastering, or even just between tape playback from mixing to masterin…

This has been driving me up a wall. I was seriously considering if I had just gotten 'old' or something. I've had every iPhone since the first one, and suddenly I feel like I'm typ…

I’ve considered that too- particularly for riding Asia. I do wonder the logistics too of a foreigner buying a vehicle and getting all the paperwork in line, and selling it then; bu…

I care a lot about the environment. It seems obvious that there is an impact, but it seems relatively small- something that if it wasn’t AI would be counted as a rounding error by …

I’ve been looking for a reasonable way to get me and my motorcycle to Europe and back (rentals of my bike are $300/day, and I want to ride off-road occasionally, which isn’t great …

Agreed. They feel massively overpriced. Covid and government rebates had everyone using them as cash cows. I installed a 24k btu one for my recording studio myself. Took me 3 hours…

I don't backup my phone. The NSA does it for me!

Yup. I've got an M1 Pro from work, and while I'm looking forward to hopefully getting an M5 in December, I really don't know if it will be a significant increase in my daily tasks …
