I have been having great luck with waypipe (gitlab) as an X11 forwarding alternative (OS X to Ubuntu 24.04). The setup was relatively painless and it 'just worked.' while this migh…

I thought JavaScript language equality quirks was seen as problematic not a missing feature in Python.

This article is pretty frustrating as it doesn't introduce rowan or green trees and I had to read a bit to know you were even talking about a rust lib. Beyond that I don't know if …

The health insurance is the part that just is hard to relate to much of the world which is where the fear/sadness comes from. It is the undertone in any wealth discussion. So many …

The only thing I find scary about the current AI is how many AI companies became completely untethered from basic ethical controls openly. There is no facade of decency and it seem…

I believe what the commenter is suggesting is that since this is supposed to be machine readable then why not start with a common format like JSON similar to how things like MCP se…

How is using a standard path 'just for sysadmins' again? You are introducing something new today .

Maths can be super deterministic but often difficult to compute because of concepts like inferring by induction. I had to personally unlearn and rebase my understanding of math bas…

From my perspective depending on where they want to develop it might be trivial to add something time consuming to a proposal such as eminent domain or easement reviews that will r…

This really isn't an all or nothing sort of situation. Many of the AI players have a proven record of simply not following existing norms. Until there is a consumer oriented player…

This was also introduced in the same moment as a bunch of real name initiatives from multiple companies. People were rejecting it based on what it demanded compared to what was off…

I was about to be annoyed until you said you got preprod units. I guess I'll have to build on this when my desktop shows up.

I think the thing you missed is how aggressive their firings had been. It is quite possible that they no longer have capacity to maintain a distribution. Public reporting indicates…

While not at Google for myself a lot of the CI test failures just become knock on effects from complex interdependent CI components delivering the whole experience. Oops Artifactor…

I find this to be an interesting anecdote because at a certain level for a long time the most helpful advice you could give is what would be the best reference for the problem at h…

I am worried about a more modest enshittification. I am already starting to encounter models that are just plain out of date in non obvious ways. It has the same feeling as trying …

As far as I can see it is just strawmanning the federal workforce as a boogeyman. Every federal person I heard of or talked to spent most of the weekend and Monday trying to unders…

I find this fun because I always described this metric as 'time to cow.' I suppose a sheep is fine too.

I think in modern times because you don't see it the same way you forget that a newspaper, magazine, encyclopedia, academic paper, and a reference book are different for a reason a…

I feel like this missed the relatively straightforward https://github.com/emacsorphanage/git-gutter package which I feel does a pretty good job and does exactly what I want.

It has been crazy since before apps were 'apps.' It is a simple flow chart to me: do I need to interact more than once a month? No? Should probably be a website. The only time I wa…

Depending on the market it is still possible to be profitable. There is still a market even though it is narrow and most stations solve the problem like how Stephen King did- you h…

When I did a roof replacement two skylights needed to be replaced and I was offered 3 options. One was purely mechanical, one had a simple remote, and one that required an app! Nat…

Emergency vehicles are the kind of vehicles I don't really want electric yet. Power goes out when there are emergencies, and then what? They break out a bunch of beater crown vics?…

Smaller clusters are common because it depends on what you are trying to accomplish. It's the same problem as any distributed system- going wider with a map only works if you can p…
