I jumped to the end and saw $2.3k for the mini split and couldn't believe it. I've installed mini splits on two homes and the quotes were always in the $15-25k range for 3-5 head units, so $2.3k for a head + outdoor condenser unit

I've ported a couple of repos to CodeFloe in the last few days, and so far, so good. Performance is similar to when I self-host Forgejo on a dedicated VPS where I'm the only user, which is super fast. And their built-in CI is pret

I think you're holding CodeFloe to an unreasonably high standard here. What SaaS vendors agree to financial guarantees if they lose user data or have an outage? Here's GitHub's policy: > We will not be liable for damages

I read the book Poor Economics [0] around when it came out, and it described something similar. For people who don't have access to banks, they form "savings clubs" where there will be, say, 12 people who put in $100 per mon

Strangely, a few years ago, Facebook hired a rabbi and appointed him "Director of Responsible Innovation."[0] He did an interview on Search Engine that I thought was interesting,[1] but it definitely seemed like there was more to

How is this Gruber's fault? What level of verification do you expect of a tech blog discussing the experience of another tech blogger?

This is such a cool and funny use of derivations. He defines a Nix attribute path that emulates game state in Super Mario 3 so that you can say nix build '.#level1.rightb.rightb.rightab.rightb' And it outputs the screensh

I tried using it, but it didn't work well in my experience. There was be a huge textarea for notes, so I'd write detailed notes after a good conversation, but it didn't auto-save, so if your browser crashed or you accidentall

Yeah, exactly. If there's a C2 server, there's some protocol for communication between the C2 server and each victim node. You can intentionally infect a machine with the malware but then watch the traffic between the victim node

I think we disagree on the connotation of the word "lead." To me, if someone describes me as a "lead," it implies that they are focused on making the sale rather than on anything else about the business relationship. I w

I appreciate the critique! Sometimes when I'm thinking about a blog post, I fall in love with a joke I want to use, but then it constrains how I think about the topic. I still like the David example, but I'm too close to the pos

Right, that part is not in dispute. If Sumner says today, "We do X," then Kelley can say, "Nine months ago, Sumner did not do X," and both can be correct. What Kelley can't do is say, "It's an outright fab

One of the things I find so disappointing about Kelley's behavior here is that he falsely accused Jarred Sumner of lying about fuzzing Bun, and then when Sumner showed evidence[0] that they've been fuzzing Bun for months, Kelley j
