I disagree with the "nobody cares about my tools anymore because they could order it themselves." They didn't, they wouldn't, and they won't. It's not about how the work got produced, it's about having an

At some point I stopped caring about Handmade Hero because he just never got out of the global illumination rabbit hole. He should have followed that as a side quest, behind a feature flag. Maybe one week for progress on the game, one week

Will check out keyd and wtype, thank you for the pointers! If you don't mind, could you go into a little more detail on your journey? What do you use it for? What roadblocks did you encounter that made you try out different tools? On W

Fun project. The article is a bit light on details. I find it astonishing that a project like this runs into performance issues. I would have liked to learn more about what these resource-constrained widgets looked like, what they did, and

I think some of these obstacles are documented here. https://github.com/isene/ClaudeCode I found the asm skill file quite interesting. Gives a glimpse into a world I didn't know still existed. Very cool! https:&#

A uni prof of mine insisted on hosting the work group's SourceSafe repo on his laptop. You could not commit changes when he was out of the building.

Can be explained with one word: Inequality. America being rich is a smokescreen. Some Americans are very rich. Most are not. The very rich Americans are not sad, actually.

I'm not a native English speaker, so I don't really have much of an opinion about LLM writing. It probably doesn't stand out to me that much. Your reply made me curious though, so I asked a bunch of "is this AI writing&q

It's not AI, it's AI companies, at the behest of their stewards and owners. People with money have been competing with you for your assets for a long time. And they will keep outcompeting you.

Yes, but, you see, guns are merely tools. If you give these guns to the right people, they will actually create more work for the doctors, and everybody wins.

A couple years ago I wanted to design a custom Nonogram as a birthday present. We had a photo of the giftee and pixelated it. But how do you make sure the Nonogram is uniquely solvable, without any guessing? Of course I wrote a solver in Py
