I often think of Thoreau when my mind drifts to romanticizing farming: > I see young men, my townsmen, whose misfortune it is to have inherited farms, houses, barns, cattle, and farming tools; for these are more easily acquired than got

So you don't have to go through the factory reset if you are fine with having the app store? Safari is the only app I need to excise, and the OS won't let me delete it.

I was using a vertical Logitech mouse but was still experiencing discomfort mousing out to the side of my enormous Advantage2 keyboard. In an effort to head off any compounding RSI issues, I switched to a ploopy Adept trackball. Had no idea

Thanks! Though hopefully, once the idiom is learned, I'll be able to remember it :) Curious as to why a scan \ rather than a reduction /?

Is the q solution equivalent? In doing a plus scan, isn't the last element always going to be the largest? To find the largest subarray sum, I would think you'd want to split into a matrix along the `null`s first and then plus red

When the article mentions "tech-adjacent," I think it is worth keeping in mind that this includes a broad swath of jobs that would never had qualified for amortizing salaries as R&D. For example, I'm skeptical that the ta

Surely the weight of a tractor pales in comparison to the person sitting inside? The heavy weight is for that big engine with a lot of torque. Can a lighter weight tractor pull its load?

There are only 2 transports in the current spec[0] though. WebSockets would be welcome but aren't a part of the spec. 0: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-06-18/bas...

There are a couple of patterns for accomplishing this in Elixir. One is to build multiple function heads that pattern match on the arguments. If it’s an error tuple, pass it along. Build up your pipeline and handle any errors at the end. A

Are there any binary formats that include the specification in the format itself?

I hate to be a hacker news poster who responds to a positive post with negativity, but I was also surprised at the praise in the article. I don’t find Linear to be all that quick, but apparently Mac OS thinks it’s a resource hog (or has mem

I’m actually a neovim user already! This makes me worry that my config has something to prevent this behavior (but I hope not, I hate messing with my config)

Out of curiosity, do you have a good flow for having a file buffer automatically update in response to claude's changes? I'm perpetually needing to remember to `:e!<CR>` to read the updated file.

The is not the xkcd I thought it would be. This is the xkcd that Claude code makes me think of: https://xkcd.com/1205/ I don’t feel Claude code helps one iota with the issue in 1319. If anything, it has increased the p

I’ve found in my interviewing that since having a child I am way worse at coding interviews—in ways I never was before. Perhaps this is due to being at a higher level of stress all the time—worrying about a young child’s wellbeing is a fu

This is precisely the risk I’ve been wondering about with vectorization. I’ve considered that an open source model might be valuable as you could always find someone to host it for you and control the deprecation rate yourself.

I think folks were too quick to throw out the good things about redux when hooks came out. Namely “dumb” presentational components that had no logic and abstractions for wiring up data and actions (mapStateToProps and mapDispatchToProps). S

I’ve seen Claude code get halfway through a small sized refactor (function parameters changed shape or something like that), say something that looks like frustration at the amount of time it’s taking, revert all of the good changes, and st

Ah this takes me back. It felt as thought the early 2010s were replete with ipsum generators ( https://hipsum.co/ was always fun), and they were really handy when coding up a PSD design. Not really sure if it’s just me, but

Might be another reflection of McLuhan‘s “the medium is the message” in that APIs are built with the intended interface in mind. To this point, GUIs; going forward, AI agents. While the intention rhymes, the meaning of these systems diverge

How ironic given the amount of APIs that were locking down access in response to AI training! Though the general API lockdown was started long before that, and like you, I’m skeptical that this new wave of open access will last if the promi

While I mostly try to go with the flow, I do get frustrated that there are more natural places to integrate with a issue tracking system like trailers, but they are so far off issue trackers’ happy path that it’s not worth it. I think the p

Here are my 2¢ on using AI at work. I’m using Claude code and my typical tmux/neovim setup. 1. I use AI to find my way in a sprawling micro(service|frontend) system that I am new to. This helps cut down massively on the “I know what to
