Because shareholders want "number go up". Would be nice to know why Apple didn't throw its war chest at the WarnerBros/HBO acquisition Netflix just did.

I spent a few years leading dev on decentralized exchanges, building bridges to other chains and building a sophisticated margin system on top of the trading pools. A few things I think I've learned: In its current state, most retail i

Thats Clojure...one person can look like a whole team ;) couldn't help being cheeky...actually there are quite a few contributors.

Is there a terminal AI assistant that doesn't have heaps of depenedancies and preferably no node? Claude and codex both require node. I'm a fan of the lightweight octofriend. But also node. I do not like installing node on systems

containerize all the things...Nix, Podman, Docker. It's not a big hassle once you get through the initial steps. Would be good to see projects (like those recently effected) nudging devs to do this via install instructions.

China has in recent years built apartment blocks for the unhoused. From pics I've seen, the units are one room studio like apartments. I'm told they rent for around $15 per month. It seems to work for a large set of the unhoused.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I've been using AI tools most days the past 2+ years. Occasionally I get good results. I spend heaps of time rewriting/reviewing. Vibe coding can work if both the programming techniques and problem d

thanks for the good news. It does exclude foreign currency accounts.

As 'numbsafari said below, you should no longer user your host for dev..this includes all those cool AI assistant tools. You need to containerize all the things with runpod or docker

New Zealand banks are horrible. If they made it easy to hold USD and/or forex/fees on international card charges were reasonable, Wise wouldn't be needed in most cases. NZ banks also have no depositor protection. No equivalen

Supply chain attacks means I can no longer do dev work without a container. On a Mac this means running linux containers which need a base linux VM. I've stared using Podman. It does the job. On linux this means the same (except the VM

I have been subscribing to both Claude and ChatGPT for over two years. Spent several months on Claude's $100 plan and couple months on ChatGPT's $200 plan but otherwise using their $20/month plans. I cancelled Claude two week

I tried synthetic.new prior to GLM-4.6...Starting in August...So I already had a subscription. When z.ia launched GLM-4.6, I subscribed to their Coding Pro plan. Although I haven't been coding as heavy this month as the prior two month

I've been using GLM-4.6 since its release this month. It's my new fav. Using it via Claude Code and the more simple Octofriend https://github.com/synthetic-lab/octofriend Hosting through z.ai and synthetic.ne

Good writeup...it's two answers in one ;) I've come full circle from the first answer given. I wanted to get into neural nets a couple years ago. I chose Clojure because I knew I would be interfacing with components I didn't

thanks! I've tried Plex, Jellyfin etc on my Mac. I've tried three different Apple TV apps as streaming client (Infuse, etc). They are all glitchy. Another key problem is if I want to bypass the streaming server on my Mac and have

thanks for the article. I'm dreaming of this: mini-nas connected direct to my tv via HDMI or USB. I think I'd want HMDI and let the nas handle streaming/decoding. But if my TV can handle enough formats. maybe USB will do. any

No doubt. The tedious stuff is just a time saver. The domain discovery is often the difference between making progress and giving up.

I'm not a skeptic, but I keep LLMs on a short leash. This is a thoughtful article. Thanks `tptacek My LLM use is: 1 - tedious stuff; web pages interacting with domain back end. 2 - domain discovery. In a recent adventure, I used Claud

Excellent write up. I worked with Rails and Phoenix in their early days and got plenty of value from each. If you're building a traditional web 2 app, look no further...similar to choosing Postgres, start there until you have really go

thanks for the good read. I used Amsterdam BSD two years back to scratch my itch. It was a no nonsense, perhaps perfect way to try out OpenBSD. The thing keeping me from using OpenBSD/FreeBSD on my new production app is I don't kn

As a new swift'er working on an app with my 12 year old son, I reasonate with your comment. We were near the end of our first app and hit a need in swift 3 to figure out locale/language settings so needed to manipulate strings.

Excellent post. Thanks for taking the time for such a thoughtful reply. For those reading along or for my own purposes of tracking thoughts for a case study of this experience, I'll add some comments: > Drive isn't (at least y
