AI is great at getting you 80% there. But you have to finish the remaining 80% yourself.

I keep hearing about the "Recurse center". I tried to understand from their website what exactly is it, but only thing I got was "a sabbatical where you work on random stuff and talk with people doing the same" which sti

The "beer drinking simulator" we all had on our phones in 2010 wasn't a very accurate representation of drinking beer either

That seems unnecessarily cryptic -- the whole HTTP analogy doesn't really work well, or the article doesn't do a good job of explaining it. I know, I come from a place of knowing git and beginners are often confused by it... but s

Mise has two ways of running tools: the default one is ad-hoc PATH modifications, but there's also a shim folder you can add to PATH globally. If you mean the Claude desktop app or IDE plugin, the shim option is usually required, just

We're discussing Homebrew now, which includes discussing alternatives, and I'm telling my story of switching to a tool that I found better for my purposes. I'm not affiliated or anything. I agree this comment would be weird e

Mise now has lockfiles as a stable feature, which has the benefit of hash checking if you use Mise in a CI environment!

For system-wide things I usually use "latest" but it's nice being able to downgrade and/or stick to a working version using lockfiles. I remember back when I used Homebrew, Teleport shipped a bug that prevented me from a

I've been using it lightly as a "better nvm" for a longer time, but only switched to it as a primary "tool installer" a few months ago. I've seen it improve quite a lot over the time, you could give it another

FWIW you can replace pngpaste with a simple script: https://til.simonwillison.net/macos/impaste Zbar seems to provide prebuilt binaries here https://linuxtv.org/downloads/zbar/binaries/

Exclusively? No, the very first option is the install script, which downloads and unpacks the correct binary for your OS from the Mise website: curl https://mise.run | sh ...which is the same way Homebrew is installed too.

Thank you for making Mise!

Here's my modest collection of global tools I install in my dotfiles: https://github.com/JanPokorny/dotfiles/blob/master/dot_confi... Projects then have their own dependencies, e.g. https:/&#x

Nope, still rolling. Have a look at https://mise.jdx.dev/ if you need exact versions

Mise is also cross-platform, we actually use it at work for projects we develop locally on macOS, then build in CI on Linux -- it even supports multiplatform lockfiles. I had a few tries with Nix but it's a lot to wrap your head around

I'm in the "switched most to Mise" stage, might look into MacPorts for the remaining stuff, thanks for the tip!

Have a look at https://mise.jdx.dev/ , it's exactly what you're looking for!

The concept of a "userspace package manager" is something I would expect Linux to have figured out twenty years ago. It's ridiculous that the usual situation for non-root users is "you can't install XY but feel free

Mise installs itself as a static binary actually (but it's of course packaged in many registries), and while there are some third party registries it delegates to for some packages (aqua, asfd), most stuff I have installed is either bu

That's only for upstream packages, i.e. what the CI pulls in when building bottles. Homebrew itself is a rolling package manager, essentially only supporting the "latest" version for each package, which doesn't work well

I have switched my full OS-level dev env to https://mise.jdx.dev/ from Homebrew+pipx+npm, initially as an experiment but found out that it actually works amazingly well. Many things get installed directly from GitHub releas

That changes every 2-3 days. The current stance is that only interactive mode of first party harnesses is covered under monthly plans, everything else is pay-as-you-go with monthly credit allowance equal to the plan price.

Some people already did that, there were bits of Python and Processing code lying on GitHub I found by searching the Bluetooth device name. I just had to convert that to use web Bluetooth API and build the app around that.

Wouldn't ligatures be a more effective attack vector for the "Maryland -> Delaware" case? That's all that ligatures do -- render a specific sequence of characters as something else.

I have one of those AliExpress ones that look like a white box with a colored circle on one side, stylized to look like a cat. They go for a few bucks used in the secondary market. I wrote a simple webapp for it to avoid using the bulky off

Oh, I didn't notice the URL, the page didn't seem at all official. In that case it's weird that they present this clearly LLM-generated "report".

Are there any open-source software projects written in an array language? I've only ever seen short code examples and heard of fables that "K powers the world's financial systems". I want to see a "real-world"
