I remember when 8-bit machines ruled the Earth, IOS was a Cisco thing, and e-mail bounced around via dial-up, back before the first AI winter.
I'm now enjoying the new AI spring and doing all sorts of fun stuff.

I see this as another OPEX expenditure that has to be factored into Anthropic’s (hypothetical) profitability, and am intrigued as to what this means in an industry that is becoming rife with CAPEX sin…

Good. Maybe then we'll stop having Open Source projects using it as their only store of knowledge :)

This is nice to see, but I'm curious to check if the web socket bugs are all gone (I had a watch on a particular one that stopped me from running Node-RED in some circumstances, but can't fi…

This. It’s the context switching and synchronicity, just like when you are managing a project and go round the table - every touch point risks having to go back and remember a bazillion things, plus i…

This is interesting, but I’m now at a point where I can tell Claude/GPT to “take this skills and prompts repo and adapt them to this project” and it will just do it and out all the files in the r…

I sort of did for a lark a few years ago, then promptly forgot how to since I could do reasonable math approximations in my head. But my father used his pretty effectively.

I am using Borg Backup on Fedora, so that’s coming.

Hi! OP here. No, that was not it. Time Machine just quietly failed to do any backups and I failed to notice they weren't happening.

Hi! OP here. In my case Time Machine stopped doing backups to the server, period, and would keep silently refusing to do so. I encourage you to check backups are happening.

I tried doing compiling a few of my Mac CLI tools to Linux. These days, it's faster to run them through an LLM and get quite excellent Go at the other end, and _that_ is much easier to cross-comp…

Riiiiight. No. I'm a Mac user for decades, former Obj-C hacker, have tried and tried again and again to use Swift (and I have quite a few CLI apps written in it), but the thing has been a cluster…

I have machines on 3 cloud providers and 2 sites that talk to each other via it, plus a seamless mobile experience. It sets everything up for you, zero hassles.
