And it needs to communicate the data to and from a ground-based location. It’s all of the problems with satellite internet, but in your production environment!

My repos are littered with agent-specific files containing “treat this other file as if it were this one.” We’re moving so fast on so many fronts, and it seems odd that this is the persistent problem. It doesn’t even help lock folks into o

Agree that someone should double down on competing with Office, but that alone won’t take them down. MS has spent decades listening to what SMB to large companies need, and has layers of absolute domination to bolster their lead. As an exam

Windows has had a “prevent apps from stealing focus” option for at least a decade. It was one of the things that I still dislike the most about macOS, and Apple can absolutely address this.

Most repo browser UIs, and apps like VSCode, too.

The radio show/podcast Echoes with John DiLeberto is a great way to find new ambient/chill music. https://echoes.org/

I know that space is incredibly empty, but the vast expanse of space just boggles my mind so much. Even a slight miscalculation could have meant that the spacecraft hit that massive grid rotating around the orbit of Neptune.

Thanks for the last link! At first read, the regeneration code is nuts: using a switch to assign a value, then comparing hard coded values. I only used generator functions in TS after they were supported in JS, so I’m going to step through

Hank had another video on the interconnectedness of the industry right now, that is very much in the spirit of the original article. https://youtu.be/Q0TpWitfxPk

I mean…git hooks are just scripts. If you can fetch, you can pull (or push) a script that executes locally.

I thought the shifts in certain areas between versions to be interesting. Claude sonnet 37 to 45, as an example.

The Astral team did a great job with uv (and ruff!). I just wish they had used `install` instead of `add` and `sync`. `uv install` = `uv sync` `uv install rich` = `uv add rich`

I rename all of my photos upon import using the created date, formatted as `YYYY-MM-DD kk:mm:ss`. But it would frankly be great if most file browsers just let me sort photos based on metadata. But then I just end up in a dedicated photo bro

I found that example to be humerous, but specifically compared to the goals: > Provide as few ways as possible—preferably one—of representing something. Very Pythonic. Especially since representing a dict already has 2 ways, on the first

I want a small phone, but in a different dimension than the one Apple is optimizing for. I don’t care if the phone is a bit chunky: I just want the height and width to be smaller. The Walkman w800 series was a fantastic size.

This is such a big win for community stalwarts like the EFF who have pushed for right to repair laws.

Given the overall rancor around topics like this, I feel it’s necessary to say I’m approaching this as a discussion, and am open to evidence that I’m wrong. In my opinion your item 2 is mostly a conflation of “people want to enjoy the same

I would suggest you may be well read in certain areas, but not widely read. Blinkers are not an anachronism, and while Michaelmas may be less widely known than Christmas, it’s certainly still celebrated.
