   As much as I'd love to daily drive an OS like GrapheneOS, the risk of running into apps that use Google Integrity API thereby making it impossible to run those apps on Graphene is too much of an inconvenience. I took a look at this cur

   I think I saw a 5xx error when I tried to see the original link. I assumed it might have been due to a hug of death. It seems to be loading fine now.

   there's something seriously wrong with this archived link. It's not staying still for one moment. It's constantly twitching and the text scrolls to weird positions. It's unreadable because of this. Is it the archive at f

    This reminded me of The Anasazi Sun Temple that catches the first light of the Summer Solstice in a specific point in the temple. I first discovered this watching Carl Sagan's Cosmos early this year (which I'd highly recommend, BT

    There's no sense in answering your questions when you actively refuse to read the article. You're more susceptible to misunderstand the arguments given your apparent bias on AI-motivated downsizing, which I must reiterate is not c

    Cursor replaced their CMS because Cursor is a 50-people team shipping content to one website. Cursor also has a "Designers are Developers" scenario so their entire team is well versed with git. This setup is minimal and works for

    I love this site. Earlier this year I was working to revive my sister's old WM-EX170 and was able to find a service manual for it here. It made me appreciate how these devices are like pieces of beautiful clockwork! I only had to repla

    I'm oddly fascinated with GLSL shaders recently because I've been trying out a terminal which supports shaders. I have currently applied a retro terminal shader and love using terminal this way. What's a good way to get start

    I love vim tutor! I learnt the basics of vim navigation through it. I'm yet to finish it since I dropped it after the first chapter to start using it as a daily driver and picking things as I need. I will probably come back and go thro

    I think people are getting lost in the weeds here. The idea with detection is not to prevent public recording, it's to _know_ you're being recorded so you can act accordingly.

    Isn't the biggest mobile use case where you don't want to be secretly recorded in public? This was a big concern with the original Google Glass.

    Pretty neat idea! I love the BLE detection approach, would be pretty amazing if this works. I'll be following this with some interest!

    If you're looking for a portrayal closer to the books, I'd highly recommend Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes produced by Granada TV from the 80s. I don't think any actor has come as close as Jeremy Brett did.

    There are deterministic solutions for grammar and spellcheck. I wouldn't rely on LLMs for this. Not only is it wasteful, we're turning to LLMs for every single problem which is quite sad.
