I quit Linux around 2010 and got a MacBook Air, partly because suspend/resume kept breaking. So pleased to know that 15 years later, it still doesn’t work. Proprietary hardware and software for the win.

But we don’t really know what the scale is. Like, a 100% reduction would presumably be very serious, completely unfit for skilled labour? so what does a 5% reduction mean?

I only wish that Substack were a good substitute for books. I’m off social media. I don’t even have Safari on my phone usually. I consume Bloomberg, the Wall Street Journal, and Substack essays. It turns out I’m just as able to mindlessly c

I read the article and didn't actually see any evidence that this is not a reasonably fair and functional system. I did read: * People complaining that the cafe wasn't as good as they liked. * The fact that old people have signed

Unless you buy the S&P 500 and like half of it is the Magnificent 7, partly driven to that proportion by meme stocks and options gambling.

I'm interested, how did US economic/military power feed in to the Plaza Accord?

In certain moods, my Jack Russell growls louder the closer your hand gets to his tummy. I like to call this the Therrieremin.

I didn't think fantasy was an important genre, and actually, I still don't. I like Ursula Le Guin. George Martin is incredibly well-written, but it's not literature.

I've never read his non-fiction. I like the Father Brown stories, they're fun, but they are also full of plot holes and retrofitted explanations, and the characters are pretty thin. I feel a bit the same about C. S. Lewis. His non

It's interesting and puzzling how the 20th century religious writers like Chesterton, Lewis and Tolkien have become so popular on the tech scene. I'd expected them to die of obsolescence. I like them all, but they all have kind of

I guess the reason WhatsApp lets you save all your text for free is they are making money off sucking up your data. I think ultimately this model will win, but I sympathise with Signal's approach.

Yeah, I released a new version of a little open source project based almost entirely on vibe-coding with Claude/Codex. It was more fun than bashing out my own code, and despite all the problems others have mentioned (ignored instructio
