Thanks!!!1!!

An obvious attempt to insert a link into my own vibe-coded project, in the pretense it is either relevant or related.

I had a similar setup a few years back, initially I got a small amount of revenue, but over time things really dropped off. Despite increasing visitors I was getting less and less income from the adve…

I love how SWIG is still around! I first used it about 30 years ago to integrate with Perl, then later with Java.

I like the way that golang supports the use of tools in the go.mod file. Something like: go get -tool github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint@v1.64.4 And then…

I've been coding 100% in Emacs for the past 20+ years, and I don't imagine I'll be changing any time soon. For "AI"? I sometimes paste some code into chatgpt.com and ask for …

The one I remember is the TV80: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUYlS3HcC8s

Just so long as it was a proper SOC2 audit, and not a copy-pasted job: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47481729 …

It is usual for a new project to start small, and slowly add new features. Instead this project seems to arrive "fully formed". There is no "this is the core, then we add S3, then we a…

Looking at the features this seems to be an awesome project, but the commit history (even on the develop branch) shows almost nothing. No pull-requests, no real issues, it smells like it was auto-gene…

I've used Linux at home for 20+ years, and sometimes mac at work. To be honest I struggle to notice many changes, my machine was already configured the way I liked it and at work I basically live…

To be honest I find the things I do on my "work" laptop are different to the things I do on my "personal" laptop, and different again to what I do on my desktop machine. Regardless…

Same story here, I can be used films on DVD for €1 at many charity shops. Boxed sets of TV shows are €2-5 depending on size/popularity. The only downside is that I've noticed that the used …

When you waste time trying to deal with "AI" generated pull-requests, in your free time, you might change your mind. I share code because I think it might be useful to others. Until very re…

When I had a sick baby I could work from home quite happily, but after he grew to be a toddler or older I don't even try. If my kid is sick I stay home and look after him, sure half the time they…

I live ~30 minutes from the city center, and the office locations I've had for the past ten years or so. I enjoy sitting on the tram/bus, reading a book and getting into the "work time …

I guess it depends where you live, I certainly claim commuting costs when I submit my taxes every year. But then again I balance that by claiming some rebates for using my home office, now and again.…

Interestingly I bought a book on Z80 assembly last year, I thought I was buying a used book printed in the 80s or so. Instead it was shiny, glossy, and obviously printed on demand. Terrible quality, …

Which is what leads to this comedy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS9ptA3Ya9E

A program making a call to github.com needs an authentication token. What are you suggesting? The program makes a call to retrieve the secret from AWS? Then has full access to do with it what they w…

I bailed out of the interview process last summer when the company told me they use Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket for their source code. Sure maybe nobody got fired for choosing them, but it certain…

I've heard enough about Canonical's absurd requirement to write essays that I just ignore their adverts nowadays. Which is a shame, as a former Debian developer I feel I could work on intere…

I get at least one piece of junk mail a month: "We saw your profile on github and thought you might be a suitable candidate for our open position at $CRYPTO startup. PS you must be a US-citizen, …

I had a similar epiphany a few years back when I started wearing a step-tracker/sleep monitor. It was kinda interesting to see how many times I woke up, or track hours, but to be honest I realise…

Tavis Ormandy made a great post on Lotus 1-2-3 For Linux: https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/linux123.html Might be interesting to others interested in 1-2-3.…
