Here’s a weird aside… I like to create little business try’s. Most of them are wildly unsuccessful. I tried to get a bit of business liability insurance, including E&O for this. Why? Because I do …

The boat moves in all three for me

I think this is why signed commits are also supported. My first thought was that this probably doesn’t work with signed commits. But, maybe it does since they are listed as the commiter.

Yes. Video trucks are already common in Las Vegas, NV, USA.

Looks like it will just push game publishers to a subscription model.
comment
Lots of interesting takes that I think I disagree with here, although I mostly write Markdown rather than read it: > they’re hamstrung by the terminal itself, which is almost always monospaced and …

I never use the physical touch on the MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. It’s one of the first things I configure so that a light tap is a click. It somehow feels “faster” to me.
comment
I do the same. Ender 3 V2 that I paid <$250 for about 5 years ago. It paid for itself on the first print job where I repaired some Samsung stove knobs where replacements were $400 a set. I'm n…

This reminds me of a weird story... I went to work at a BBB office once. They turned all their computers off at night and every morning they were back on. It was just "normal" for them. I ca…
comment
Apparently, data centers typically use evaporative cooling (I guess like a Swamp Cooler but on a whole different scale). This is cheaper than using compressed systems like we use on our homes. The wat…
comment
Nope, I use Opus 4.7, mostly. Sometimes Sonnet 4.6 if I’m trying to use less tokens.
comment
Same. I hit limits after 45 minutes. I'm on a measly Pro plan. I'm usually building small, open source projects, often from scratch. I only work on these projects in a 2-hour window in the m…
comment
I kinda assume the dealer does this as part of any service they do. Either that, or they update some other way. My software notices went away when I had my service done, even though I’ve opted out of …
comment
I said this elsewhere, but I had trouble with Kia even for an issue covered by recall. Because I hadn’t had the update done, they refused to cover.
comment
This is tangential, but Kia declined to cover an engine failure, under warranty that was extended by recall, because I had not done an update. Edit: I eventually recovered most of the cost via a settl…
comment
I would argue that senior engineers, of which I am one, are more of the problem than junior. We build fancy custom components when we should be using the existing ones. Yes, the (senior) product and d…

This paper is not saying coffee is bad. If anything, it leans slightly toward beneficial or neutral effects. What broader science says (not just this paper). Across many large studies, Coffee is assoc…
comment
It might be. I felt this same way all my life, until 6-months ago, when I found a flavored sugar free mix I actually liked. I returned from vacation in Mexico, where I was drinking Coke with sugar. Wh…
comment
I switched to the PWA to solve that.
comment
Yeah, I also wanted to comment on this, though I think it’s technically against the rules. I hit this first on my VPN, so I disconnected, then got asked again from my home wifi. I dunno why I look lik…

You can also use Claude Code in a VS Code terminal window, which I much prefer for reasons I can’t quite put my finger on. Granted, I’ve moved to Zed in the past few months. I’m doing the same there.
comment
Happy to stay in touch. I haven't build one of these in a long time. My website and email address are in my bio here on HN. To answer your question, yes, that's a piezo pickup, if I remember…

Seems like The Innovators Dilemma playing out.
comment
> Classical software engineering would have you believe that dependencies are good (we’re building pyramids from bricks) Would it? I’m old school but I’ve never trusted these massive dependency cha…

Since I was a kid I was fascinated by computer math, such as a projectile in Scorched Earth (wind, angle, velocity, gravity). I turned 50 this week and I STILL haven’t dug into how even the basics wor…

Oh, yeah. I’ve been meaning to build an electric ukulele. I’ve built some handmade electric guitars, slide guitars and similar. Mine are rudimentary, more akin to a cigar box guitar (if not less compl…
