If you want an e-ink type screen, the Supernotes (or Remarkables, or Viwoods) are all very good at this. Personally I hate trying to read things on iPads.

“PHP was so easy and fast that they’ve built such a successful startup they now have scaling problems” is, as far as I can tell, an endorsement of PHP and not a criticism of it.

I do wonder if LLMs will see tools like immudb ( https://immudb.io/ ) or Datomic ( https://www.datomic.com/ ) receive a bit more attention. The capacity to easily rollback the state to a previous immutably pre

It would be pretty magical if this simplifies bundling static assets in Python applications, letting us avoid independently installing and running the Node toolchain.

No. They’re only installed if you git clone react and npm install inside your clone. They are only installed for the topmost package (the one you are working on), npm does not recurse through all your dependencies and install their devDepen

The use case is making them work on distinct tasks in parallel — just like an organisations developers each have (traditionally) their own laptop with its own isolated environment. So that I can say to agent 1 “clean up the unit tests in th

Yeah, this is something I'd like more of outside of Agentic environments; in particular for working in parallel on multiple topics when there are long-running tasks to deal with (eg. running slow tests or a bisect against a checked out

A TypeScript test suite that offers 100% coverage of "hundreds of thousands" of lines of code in under 1 second doesn't pass the sniff test.

You don't need to get too far down the page to see "VPN", which is what it is. But on top of that primitive, it's also a bunch of software and networking niceties.

This is far and away the biggest problem I have atm. Engineers blowing through an incredible amount of work in a short time, but when an inevitable bug bubbles up (which would happen without AI!), there's noone to question. "Hey

It's intent of action vs. actual action. Elon may not be _intending_ to pay foreigners to cosplay as patriotic Americans. However, X pays people based on engagement. A number of people outside the USA have figured out that if they pos

Thanks, I'll try that :). Despite the fact that I've worked my way back to `git` for my mainline work, I've still got some repos that I've left jj live in to keep picking away at it.

I kind of don't get this comment. Isn't the `jj` default behaviour effectively `git commit --all`? There's no staging area -- and I personally find `git add` or `git add -p` a better UI than `jj commit -i`. Meanwhile, there

I'm not sure why people aren't saying Spring Boot, but Spring Boot. Yeah it has heaps of other batteries included, and it doesn't have a built-in admin, but it gives you pretty decent stuff out of the box

I use `tsnet` and `tsidp` heavily to safely expose a bunch of services to my client devices, they've been instrumental for my little self-hosted cloud of services. Thanks for building `tsidp` (and Perkeep!) :).

I've been similarly half-interested in it for... more than a decade now. The new release (which is what I assume prompted this post) looks pretty impressive ( https://github.com/perkeep/perkeep/releases/t

I don't see how it's Apple's choice? Google sells PiP, background playing etc. as part of YouTube Premium (not Apple!). Google serves browser clients a player that can't do those things, because they want you to pay f

The YouTube thing is Google's choice, not Apple's, as those are "premium" features. Install Vinegar ( https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vinegar-tube-cleaner/id1591303... ) to get a standard HTM

In `pyproject.toml`: "django-stubs>=5.2", "django-stubs-ext>=5.2.2", In `settings.py`, add: import django_stubs_ext django_stubs_ext.monkeypatch() With that, it seems _mostly_ OK, though

I love Django, and the new `tasks` framework to replace `celery` (/whatever processor you prefer) looks great. I've only recently come back to it, and I do hope they continue to add more batteries to their "batteries included

It’s likely a future left-wing government will reintroduce these funds. The problem is the ratcheting effect: it takes no time at all to destroy something like this. Society reacts; people leave, people retrain, we lose the ability to do th

This government arrived on a promise of “fixing” our financial problems. A lot of these shortfalls have been artificially created; as an example, our healthcare sector went from breaking even to being “hundreds of millions” in deficit after

Sure, but the framework cares about that for me. I don’t use rails personally but that’s the whole point — someone upstream of me is paying attention and making everything work together. In contrast, I have work apps made in React that need

For things like a missing person alert, it provides an instant feedback mechanism and the ability to share things with people you might know in the affected area. Otherwise, there’s absolutely utility to interacting over social media. We’re
