I'm surprised there's only a single mention of tiling window managers here. No talk about i3[0] or hyprland[1]? I mean these things aren't only highly usable, they're absolutely beautiful[2]. I'll also add that bein

No laws are needed. We already have oligopolies. Don't like the buggy software? Go to the only other competitor who also has buggy software. FFS, we're living in a world where Linux has more than doubled in popularity mainly due t

Let's spend $5m to have a meeting about why we can't spend $50. Penny wise, pound foolish The best is the explanations are in the PRs. They even have Claude these days to answer their questions... I swear, these people are more ad

That's mostly how I'm shifting to doing things but let's admit, this is metric hacking. And let's also admit, it takes longer to go through that song and dance than it actually takes to do the work.

It's easier to find bugs, fix them, yet there's less will than ever. My bosses just want speed and will give me a 30 minute lecture on why I don't need to solve a bug that Claude solved in 5 minutes, I've verified, and i

Exactly, it is a weird title. Modern art is as much of a "psy-op" as: - grocery stores - NASA - rock music - psychedelics and hippies - a strong middle class - affordable vehicles and the highway system - Hollywood

An "adversary" can also just be a country we're in competition with. Both America and China are in competition for the global leader. Adversary could be akin to friendly competition if we all wanted to operate this way.

I very much doubt this is happening because people are describing it in that level of detail...

Do such products even exist? At the same quality? Your argument only makes sense in markets with high competition and high information. But those aren't the conditions of the markets today. You're acting like there is a company th

Everyone knows about Monero. If someone doesn't we can count on someone ensuring we do. But I can say with certainty that anyone who knows what a ZKP is knows about Monero even though Monero doesn't use ZKPs

It's a real shame the grifters took over cryptocurrencies. I'd love to have a pre-minted ZKP USD style coin. Uncle Sam can take a small transaction fee as consumption tax, people can get wallets as they please. Fully private, semi

I agree, but is the bad thing what Bluesky did or what Apple did? One bad thing is pointing the finger at the wrong person. It lets the person doing the bad things get away with doing bad things.

Seems like it's the same problem as chromium. Is it better to get off the Google controlled ecosystem? Yes. Is it easier to leverage the Google controlled ecosystem? Also yes. People will tell you that chromium is "more up to da

Defaults for swapping and paging unfortunately aren't great. But it's easy to adjust. There's lots of information and fwiw, talking with an LLM I found that they ended up suggesting similar things to what I set for my system

I'm confused why people are mad at Bluesky for this. Everyone stating their issues seems more related to Apple than Bluesky. So why point the finger at them?

I think that's the point. No one wants to be the villain in their own story. We all tell ourselves stories to paint ourselves as good. I don't think most people are evil, but I think most evil is created by people who have convinc

That's not really what people mean. Your example isn't accurate because you just ran bash two different ways.

I love bash. I write a lot of bash too. It is a extremely powerful and useful language. But that also doesn't mean it is a good language. There are many non-intuitive things, hence that pitfalls page I linked. You can't just def

It's amazing how bad this is in the Bay area. I wonder how map engineers don't dogfood. Or what is it that prevents them from making the maps better? They sure have no problem making changes that make maps worse.
