This is what I'm doing right now to learn Electron, I essentially had Opus write me a tutorial to write the application I want to have, and I'm modifying bits and pieces as I go. I…

If they're skimping on their posters, what else are they skimping on? It's cheap, looks cheap, and signals laziness. This is the sentiment I'm getting even from non-technical peopl…

Prebuilt machines have a terrible reputation, I could see people wanting this for a PC that you don't need hardware expertise to boot up. If you're reading this you could probably …

Trip report: FFXIV does great, but both Hades and Hollow Knight have atrocious lag. I don't know why different games are different for Bluetooth lag performance, when they're all g…

I hope the Bluetooth audio latency issue I've been having is fixed. I have two Bluetooth pairs of headphones, one open-ear and one noise-cancelling, and they both have either a hal…

Stalin's Russia didn't have a cult of machismo quite like Germany or Italy did, they measured themselves by industrial and intellectual might, rather than how manly they were. Yes …

For the longest time it was an economic axiom that regulations drive off businesses, and here stronger laws are directly attracting business!

This, I've been using SpecKit for a while for my side project and it's been working beautifully. I generally spend more than half my time working on the specs, until implementation…

Glad to see Anthropic continuing to invest in the longevity and quality of their open-source dependencies! If you missed it, they bought Bun a while back, which is what Claude Code…

Same, it feels like Bootstrap but much, much more customizable. When I'm not using ShadCN that's what I reach for by default, it's been much nicer to work with, personally.

I've been having a very good time with Zed. Great vim motion support, and fast to the point where using VSCode feels like driving a semi truck by comparison. https://zed.dev

Before I clicked the article, I said to myself "The victim's gotta be Black", and lo and behold. AI has inherited police's (shitty, racist, and dangerous) idea that any Black perso…

It's extremely refreshing to see the editor's memory and processor usage be smaller than the webapp tab I'm working on. I'm really liking it thus far!

People keep comparing LLMs to automated looms, but I find them more comparable to cruise control than autopilot. I've been working on a character sheet application for a while, and…

I 90% agree with you, though Apple did stand up to the FBI some years ago. The US gov't at least is much more restricted on what data it can collect and act on due to the 4th Amend…

I've fallen in love with using Vimium when browsing, and the real thing elements are much easier to use than JS substitutes. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/vimium/dbepgge…

Probably the same thing I'm trying to do as a side gig now, building software to help solo/small company artisans keep track of customers/payments/taxes. Essentially, make tools fo…

Hardest possible concur with everything OP said. Knitting and other fiber arts are the grandmother of computer programming, and I'd go so far as to say your CS education is incompl…

When I first saw this, I thought it was a joke to make fun of vim fanatics, but once I installed and started using it, it fit my hands really well almost immediately. Amazing, good…

You owe it to yourself to give this a shot if you have the time. I find it less of a Civilization game, more a sci-fi horror novel presented with Civilization mechanics rather than…

POTUS fired two Dem members of the FTC, and the remainder voted to delay enforcement. Some people like this, where companies get to effectively scam people by deliberately not enfo…

Why do regular people like this? For real, is it all "Those People Have it Worse", or do they just like the government making things worse for it's own sake? There's people who lik…

I find that Copilot's suggestions are not quite what I want in most cases, so I have to edit what they give me anyway. I know Primagen had a similar experience that you had, he fou…
