You state an opinion, but not why for that opinion. I’m mostly stuck with Alaska or a small handful being a couple hours north of Seattle and driving to/dealing with SeaTac is not fun. In the caliber you said you wouldn’t travel incl

Grew up with this guy. We both did community college courses on programming before we were out out high school. I'm impressed with the library he's built up and CCs tend to be more pragmatic than UCs in California. This isn'

I ordered the hard copy, but for those with Kindle Unlimited....it's available there. KU is for escape not text for me, so I'll wait for the book.

I'm waiting on my physical copy, but, yes the writing style from a native German can be odd at times (the ex was german). The poster is trying to get karma being "contrairian".

VV pubished the site a couple weeks back on L*nkedin. It was a distraction for me as well.

I'll look into this a bit. But... "Github has way too little projects"... I had PRs against stinkpad wireless drivers in 1999/2000 time frame - FreeBSD specific. Do I expect those to be around? No. Do I think 20+ year

I stopped using it because the interface was wretched and it didn't need to be cutesy. Rsync found it's way back into the tool belt.

Microsoft 365 Copilot For Business? (which isn't real - but yeah, the naming is...)

It’s marginally better than Microsoft naming things.

FreeBSD's development philosophy, it's aversion to design decisions like - we must allow systemd everywhere, stability, zfs and jails, consistent configuration (for decades) are all technical reasons I prefer it over Linux. How ab

But docker! I've been using jails/etc and the pattern with way I setup and configure my FreeBSD servers hasn't significantly changed in 20 years.

CUDA gets into an area that I wouldn't use it for. My local LLM machine is running Void linux.

Stability and security. It's a great server OS and I've been using it for decades.

It also reveals how shallow the vetting YC does. This is both on delve and YC initially accepting them. There has been an acceleration of YC companies getting funding and a general decline in quality.

I worked in SF prior to the dotcom bust. Since I was commuting and made a day of when I had to be in the office. I took yoga with Larry Schultz - the yoga teach for the Grateful Dead, he had a studio near 4th and Brannon (I believe, memor

I’m not digging into beliefs and the like. I’ve been to Tassajara Zen Center as well as Green Gulch. SF Zen Center is a treasure. The meditation room and part of the library were impacted by a fire recently - https://www.lionsr

I'm not completely sure I would call Apple the accessibility king. It's UI gets worse with each release. Modal dialogues with no keyboard options to make a choice in the window at times, etc.

I split a vs code window and a browser or a browser and terminal window on my 13" mb air. Usually need additional context on the same screen.

Tinygrad devices are interesting, I wish I have screen captures - but their prices have gone up and some specs like RAM have gone down. A single box with those specs without having to build/configure (the red and green) - I could see b

I have a 2016 Tacoma I bought in 2015. It has ~114k miles, so ~11k miles/year. Gas is 16-18gal/mi. It's paid off. There is no math, outside of major repairs (it's maintained regularly) where any Hybrid or EV makes se

Twitter has the mass adoption, and it takes an effort to avoid bot/particular view bias - but as a valuable content source, it's a far cry from what it once was before Musk took it over.

It's still early, because I actually had some nice weather in the PNW, but looking at porting NanoClaw to use FreeBSD jails and ZFS snapshots. Why? I use linux because I have to - docker/docker images is what we are stuck with.

Next up, after some sort of bribe, the administration opens up Qwen models to be used by the Pentagon.

I'm in the process of de-googling. It will take time (changing third party contact emails - banks, etc is annoying) - I honestly wish there was the equivalent of "moving" where emails could be updated the same way. DDG - I l
