The equivalent here is if Sony owned the most watched TV network (by far) and decided that it would work fully on Sony Bravia tvs. People with LG or Samsung TV's could only watch a degraded version.

How much of that was in the last ten years? And do you make any attempt to have a backup system (phone hotspot, for example)?

Well we did put down roots after a few years, or at least we have for for a while (me and my partner). We'll probably get the travel bug again. We don't have or want children but I do know people who do this with families. There&#

If it's any consolation, Bavaria is a beautiful part of the world that's up there with any tropical island or rainforest. I hope to visit again sometime.

I've had a fairly long career as a web dev. When I started, I used to be finicky about configuring my dev environment so that if the internet went down I could still do some kind of work. But over time, partly as I worked on bigger pro

The limits on the $20 plan are too low compared to Gemini and ChatGPT. They're too low to do any serious work at all.

Eh, it's better. But it's still a mess unless you're using a device specifically designed for Linux like a Steamdeck or Framework. Expect to spend a lot of time messing around in the console if you install on an arbitrary l

Portable monitor + mouse + keyboard makes more sense to me. But this can also be cast to a tv, for example. I assume you can use the phone itself as a trackpad. So the only extra hardware you need is a cheap Bluetooth keyboard which you can

For me, a fairly wide range of mattresses are fine as long as they're not too thin or too soft, so I don't overthink it. However, my neck and shoulders are extremely picky about pillows. Thin, flat and firm pillows make all the di

Tofu is processed , just like butter, cheese, flour, sugar. Even milk is in a similar category if it's been pasteurized and homogenized. This is markedly different category to ultraprocessed though.

Counterpoint: on the $20 monthly account I would hit my 5 hour limits within an hour on antigravity. I end up spending half my time managing my context and keeping conversations short.

It's so incredibly buggy though. I end up with hung sessions "starting claude code" every second or third time. After a few times of losing work I'm done with it. I'll check back in a few months and see if it's

I added tests to an old project a few days ago. I spent a while to carefully spec everything out, and there was a lot of tedious work. Aiming for 70% coverage meant that a few thousand unit tests were needed. I wrote up a technical plan w

I was having this issue with Claude code, and even worse with Gemini, while using the VSCode terminal. I switched to Ghostty and I don't have any flickering or weird scrolling issues at all anymore.

I've read that specific type of exercise (repeating cycles of low impact move, cycling, rowing, elliptical machine) are the most effective at triggering cartilage growth. Is that accurate?

I was looking at this earlier. Has anyone used it? Is it useful compared to the Playwright MCP or Claude's Chrome plugin?
