I can relate to the pursuit of tidiness. It is satisfying to purge. I makes more room for the things that are neglected amongst the distraction. What's left over on my desk from yesterday's adventures is best cleared away. My patc

I hat tip your bravery for pointing out an indulgence likely common among readers. Guilty as charged right here. But. The comparison doesn't really hold. This is not like an untidy workbench. Modern browsers don't incur a signific

Right? It's simultaneously becoming a unique identifier for aggregating a profile about you across the web as well as the way your account is snatched away from you. What cools my cockles is how not all phone numbers are allowed (VOIP,

I like the idea that metadata can be gathered via an ISBN, but that requires renaming files (and subsequently losing the ability to find what you want by browsing the filesystem. Alternatively I see that you can organize by author and title

If you enjoy Serial, I highly recommend CBC's Come By Chance. It's a wonderful tale (the less you know the better) about a family mystery among small coastal villages in Newfoundland.

I've often wondered why sports and sim games don't tell these trademark peddlers to pound sand and ship with robust modding tools. Eager fans can then add unofficial versions of Mercedes, Lionel Messi, and a jet in the shape of th

"Saturday was a working day by default, though occasionally we had afternoon tea or even crayfish." Unexpected poetry. Is there a reason why crayfish would be served in this context?

I'm curious what size and use case you're serving describing here. Up to a certain point, devops effort and cost is negligible when offloading to the cloud.

We're discussing Figma's spend here which is a bit of a cherry pick. At their size the savings for on-prem can be substantial. For the vast majority of companies without such heavy bandwidth needs, the additional cost needs to be

I may have misunderstoood. Does that mean with this API on both desktop and phone I can point to an arbitrary drive on the system without restriction? If so, it does indeed do what I'd like.

At least on the Android front, I'd prefer the app allow me to write to my own storage target. The reason is because I already use Syncthing-Fork to monitor a parent Sync directory of stuff (Obsidian, OpenTracks, etc.) and send to my ba

I have been considering this. I even came up with a name: Good Phone, Bad Phone. Your experience is instructive, thank you. Other than the additional cost, I think it has lots of upside. I daily drive a Pixel on GrapheneOS and most of what

Like many who lived through this inversion I can absolutely relate. I've culled my notifications substantially and my life is better for it. But I miss that feeling of firing up AIM and seeking out someone to chat with. Or someone spot

I'd argue the that most people with phones use them largely for social apps, messengers, and the camera. Maybe social signaling.

And yet it can capably power many classics. Skyrim. Portal 2. Witcher 3. The same argument made above about phone hardware is largely true for gaming. The hallmark of modern gaming (and increasingly television) is sadly one of eschewing art

I do this at home to avoid needlessly hunting for towers that are barely in range. But I am concerned that if I don't leave the house for a few days the carrier (Google Fi / TMobile) may be discarding messages. I've heard mix

I think pacing is more aptly the issue than narrative. Perhaps even more specifically, the load-bearing first couple sentences dive right into establishing a complex setting before any other context is established. Even as I may enjoy narra

But why is the conclusion that Claudius is 'making up a story about being April Fools'? Maybe this wasn't an identity crisis, just a big human whoosh?

The article claimed Claudius wasn't having a go for April Fools - that it claimed to be doing so after the fact as a means of explaining (excusing?) its behavior. Given what I understand about LLMs and intent, I'm unsure how they
