Not so for this port, which, besides not remembering sessions, crashed very early, and made me return to BBEdit.

Not really understanding the negative trend of comments. As someone who accesses multiple Windows machines on a LAN via a MacBook Air, I'm glad to have as many common GUIs as possible. I found it a bit hard to get used to BBEdit when I

Drove a no-tech tractor working on a farm in Tuscany in the early/mid-90s. Best driving experience ever.

In fairness, real-world researchers are expert at selective emphasis too.

Yes - the two-part title tells it all. I wonder of the likes of The Guardian, who are addicted to this style, will be forced to abandon it to be less associated with LLM-produced text.

A spinal injury three years ago made me above-averagely aware of ergonomics, as I created a dedicated office (chairs, floating supports for monitors, keyboards, etc.) that would support the injury. I have to say that I now access the 8 or

Wow, I’m surprised. Of all my self-hosting solutions, this needs least maintenance, for me. Recently had to move to a fork of SyncTrazor, because a new project picked up support, but that’s the first time I had to think about it in years. W

Incredible that we are regressing back to webrings and hand-curated lists like this, both of which I remember well. That's not a criticism! I guess that the quality-drop in search wasn't quite enough to make it happen, but the adv

I am not sure why the title got truncated from 'I Created My First AI-assisted Pull Request and I Feel Like a Fraud', which conveys a very different impression, and makes more sense when browsing the comments here.

This problem is chronic with GPT[N] dealing with a Windows environment. I have to constantly remind it to prefer the GUI option, though nothing really works. I don't know if agents make use of screenshots the way older automation routi

I moved all my LAN machines to IoT LTSC 2021 a year ago. Though I don’t regret it, be aware that update delay limits are the same as other Windows OS versions; that useful things like WSL2 will need installing from the app store to get the

I checked it, but at $149 per year for the home server (and don't forget to click in the 'information' button on the 'Lifetime' License Duration option), there seems to be a bit of a premium on that MS styling, cons

It's three and a half years since my last cigarette, after decades of smoking. Sometimes I cannot tell if I 'backslid' during that time, because I have had SO MANY dreams about smoking, and feeling regret, in the dream, that

I have considered it, and it is still on the docket. I have a local 3090 dedicated to ML. Would be a fascinating and potentially really useful project, but as a freelancer, it would cost a lot to give it the time it needs.

I am glad at least that Apple has not forced me to update my iPhone 13 and 2023 Macbook, as Windows would have by now. I am hoping to ride this out, and that a later bundled update will remedy the worst complaints. The most alarming thought

I would argue that for the average person, therefore, 'spectrum' is an unfortunate choice of analogy, since most people believe that it encompasses every possible color. One should not need specialist knowledge to discuss an issue

It seems a poor analogy, since it's impossible not to be on the spectrum somewhere, even if it's #000000.

Fastmail; I moved nearly three years ago, and never regretted it. If you can stand the five-eyes aspect, of course. Also, I use its under-publicized 10GB of free space (i.e., additional to the 10GB of mail space allowance) to more than comf
