Are folks not using migration assistant when they get a new Mac? I’ve had the “same” macOS install for almost 20 years, across 6 or 7 machines, and it’s fine. I see the value of nix-darwin if you use multiple Macs and change them frequent

My understanding is Apple will be hosting Gemini models themselves on the private compute system they announced a while back.

This basically never happens, about 100 people die a year in the US during a “burglary gone wrong”. People think it’s common, though; it’s the go-to cover story in almost any Dateline episode.

Not the nicest thing, but when I was grocery shopping for Thanksgiving a few weeks ago, a stranger shared their “secret” for picking out good sweet potatoes (she was making sweet potato pie). She picked out a few for me. Just one of those

A few years ago, I was in the drive through of a Starbucks on the east side of Seattle. A very shiny Porsche 911 was in front of me, and I was kind of rolling my eyes. Who needs to drive a Porsche to Starbucks? Douchebag. Whoever it was pai

AGENTS.md as a “project” is hilarious to me. Thank you so much OpenAI for “donating” the concept of describing how to interact with software in a markdown file. Cutting edge stuff!

Sounds like a lot of waiting around, versus just browsing the aisles. Maybe today’s consumers need to rediscover cash-and-carry, though.

In September, there was a bipartisan bill in the House to ban individual stock trading. Members of Congress must divest before being sworn in under this proposal: https://www.npr.org/2025/09/03/nx-s1-5485340&#

I think ChatGPT’s moat is mostly “it’s the first AI thing I used/heard about”. It’s not clear to me that’s enough to maintain their market share if OpenAI is the only one mixing in ads. It does seem to work elsewhere, though; consumers

Even with the same approach, I imagine the implementation could differ enough to still meet the goal. But I’m also curious if the differences were actually quantified after the fact, it seems an important step.

Sort of. AWS operates the China regions more or less like any other region, with oversight by the Chinese holding companies. The EUSC will be more restricted, similar to GovCloud. Only EU citizens can access/operate it. Specific exampl

Yeah, I don’t know how fast “fast” needs to be in this system; but my understanding is this particular failure would have been seen immediately on the first replica. The progression could still be aggressive after verifying the first wave.

I agree it should not have happened, but I don’t agree that the database schema is the core problem. The “logical single point of failure” here was created by the rapid, global deployment process. If you don’t want to take down all of prod,

The search console for domains allows you to put in a URL and test-scrape it to see how things look to the bot. Could be some reverse-engineering/abuse of that API.

I don’t think it’s bad advice, it really just depends on the project, its dependencies, and your attack surface. I so badly want this era of mindlessly ticking boxes to end. Security is a contact sport! “Best practices” won’t get you to the

The Ingress API has been on ice for like 5 years. The core Kubernetes API doesn't change that much, at least these days. There's an infinite number of (questionable) add-ons you can deploy in your cluster, and I think that's

It bugs me that this implementation detail of containerd has leaked to such an extent. This should be part of the containerd distribution, and should not be pulled at runtime. Instead of just swapping out the registry, try baking it into yo
