I'm working on better UI for my app AutoPTT [1]. It's probably going to look somewhat similar to Discord's settings, except I won't be using Electron. I refuse to use bloated stuff…

If you're exporting more than a few commits, I suggest using local repos (/path/to/.git) for both the source and destination. Otherwise it'll be quite slow.

This could be an opportunity for another xz-utils incident.

Oh, that actually explains a lot. I used to offer a 7-day free trial for one of my apps that you could sign up for with an email, and the vast majority of the licenses were never u…

I wonder if you could take advantage of the fact that the LLM is more likely to follow instructions that humans might miss. For example include instructions somewhere in the repo t…

Back when I ran a WoW guild, the first sentence in our recruitment post emphasized the importance of reading the whole post (because the way to access the application form was to c…

97 Twitch streams (and Youtube VOD uploads) + 32 shorts on Youtube, TikTok and Instagram. Best short got 5k views on YT, most got about 1k. I didn't say I quit completely, I still …

Well, even if Jitsi doesn't have Push-to-Talk, you can still easily get it by using a hotkey to mute/unmute the mic system-wide. For exampple, if you're on PC, MicMute [1] can be u…

I've noticed similar issues with the web version of MS Teams. You can actually see what tabs are hogging CPU by pressing SHIFT-ESC to open the task manager (about:processes) inside…

Four years in, I suppose you could say I'm still "launching," so I eagerly jumped right to the marketing part to see if there was any good insight. Uh-oh. My experience has been pr…

Of course, sometimes people realize that what they asked for wasn't actually what was needed.

I have 13 years of professional experience, and I work in a small company (15 people). Apart from one or two weekly meetings, I mostly just work on stuff independently. I'm the sol…

> Windows generally treats running binaries as locked. Any attempt to overwrite a running binary should throw an exception. Again, the Zed source provides a reasonable solution. Wh…

It was definitely a problem with their database but I suppose it's possible that the customers were also expecting 32 bit signed ints.

Well, I'd imagine that before returning the value through their API they could just check that if the number is negative, then add 2^32 to it, which would make it look like an unsi…

That's pretty harsh. It works fine for me. But even if it didn't, I'd still use it just for uBlock Origin.

I wonder how many people realize you can use the whole 127.0.0.0/8 address space, not just 127.0.0.1. I usually use a random address in that space for all of a specific project's s…

I've been trying to sneak into some relevant discussions on Twitter lately. Too early to say whether that helps at all but at least my posts haven't (yet?) been deleted as self-pro…

We used Riak at $dayjob at around 2014-2017 (iirc). I don't exactly remember it fondly. It was slow and unreliable. You could make it freeze/crash with the wrong SOLR query. (I was…

Some time ago I noticed that my side project (with a domain that is not haunted) shows up fine on Google but not Bing/DuckDuckGo. So I checked the Bing Webmaster Tools. URL Inspect…

They probably want you to buy the book to find out.

I have a small side project called AutoPTT [1]. It's a Windows app for voice communications, mostly aimed at gamers. It can press and/or release your push-to-talk key automatically…

And now, you are manually breathing.

I was running a lot of small tasks. With 3000 queued tasks my state file was around 25 MB. zstd compressed that down to 5% of the size. I have the code still if you want to look at…
