What doesn’t work? It’s my daily driver and it renders every website I visit.

There must be something fascinating about writing Markdown apps - either it scratches an itch, or AI is really good at creating them. There's a flood of them on r/macapps and similar places.

Or because rollbacks (and release) are slower than flipping a flag. I’d rather invest in the feature flag upfront so I can unbreak customers in 2min rather than telling them to wait hours for the roll…

Trailer for the movie (coming soon): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlwmEqQv82M

Change the tmux leader to ctrl-space, problem fixed!

It’s basically Ribbit from Puzzmo, which is fine because reimplementations let you experiment with different gameplay. https://www.puzzmo.com …

HEY email service does something like that: https://www.hey.com/features/the-screener/ …

That all sounds exhausting (introvert here). The last thing I want to do when out in public is be stuck talking with strangers.

Huh, I just ran the same timing command for my fish shell (with starship prompt) and got 168ms. What all is happening in the Zsh profile?

If you don’t owe then you have 3yrs (IIRC) to file. Of course, you also don’t get a refund until you file. And you usually have to do all the same work to know whether you owe or not…

I used to use Glow, but now I'm enjoying mdterm: https://github.com/bahdotsh/mdterm

Just wait until you _don't_ buy something... Throw some items in your cart and enjoy all the emails reminding you to check out, look at similar items, share with your friends, and use discounts b…

> A neat trick I was told is to always have sleep statements in your code. Just a few sleep statements that you can delete in cases like this. This won't fix the problem, but will buy you time…

My viewing distance is one-arm-length (kinda close), when I raise my arm my fingertips just touch the screen. Definitely closer than my previous monitor, as you need to sit within the curved-screen ra…

I just upgraded to a 49" curved display because it lets me view everything I need _for the current task_ at one time. One virtual desktop is Messages, Slack, and Outlook for all my comms needs. A…

My guess is that it's for drop-in compatibility with make. There is (at least) one open issue about this - the solution/alternatives are not trivial: https://github.com/ninja…

Long ago, I bought the O'Reilly "Sed & Awk" book with plans to become a true unix guru. Then I realized I already knew Perl (and Perl one-liners), so there it sat unused on the shel…

I'm concerned that someone had the permissions to make such a change without the knowledge of how to make the change. And there was no test environment to validate the change before it was made. …

Flakes fixes this for Nix, it ensures builds are truly reproducible by capturing all the inputs (or blocking them).

You can network-jail your builds to prevent pulling from external repos and force the build environment to define/capture its inputs.

I’m curious why they didn’t deploy diagnostics in the field if they couldn’t replicate in the lab? Every few months for 7yrs is a lot of opportunities to iterate on collecting field measurements. And …

I’ve always that forums are much better suited to corporate communications than email or chat. Organized by topics, must be threaded, and default to asynchronous communications. You can still opt in t…

The bullet points for using Slack basically describe email (and distribution lists). It’s funny how we get an instant messaging platform and derive best practices that try to emulate a previous techno…

C libraries have advertised "header-only" for a long time, it's because there is no package manager/dependency management so you're literally copying all your dependencies int…

1491 is a great book about the history of the Americas before Columbus. https://a.co/d/03l04Lvv

Licensing generally applies only to the thing being licensed and not its output. Otherwise all software written with a GPLv3 editor would also be GPLv3…or all software built with a GPLv3 compiler woul…

> No cooling necessary. This is false, it's hard to cool things in space. Space (vacuum) is a very good insulator. 3 are ways to cool things (lose energy): - Conduction - Convection - …
