Yesterday I heard about lat.md [1] which seems to have similar ideas about annotating code with spec refs. I now need to try them both. [1] https://www.lat.md/

Dreaming about ` | nindent 12` in my specs! :D

Somewhat tangential... I "love" how a pack of Luckies cost 10 cents in 1917 and now they are at about $10. https://wtfhappenedin1971.com

Yeah. I'm not a native English speaker and I spent significant time and effort learning the damn language. It paid off. What's preventing Japanese engineers from doing the same?

I feel your pain. I used to work for a bank and the security team only approved Copilot use. OpenCode can use Copilot natively: https://opencode.ai/docs/providers/#github-copilot I got Claude Code running with Cop

Copilot's agent mode is a disaster. Use better tools: try Claude Code or OpenCode (my favorite). It's a new ecosystem with its own (atrocious!) jargon that you need to learn. The good news is that it's not hard to do so. It&#

I got back to briefly [1] playing Aardwolf this (2025) summer. It's still VERY good! [1] ~50 lvls on my paladin char.

Can it run with a local DB? I have zero interest in another monthly subscription pretending to be "an open source tool".

Ok, let's say the 20 devs claim is false [1]. What if it's 2? I'd still learn and use the tech. Wouldn't you? [1] I actually think it might be true for certain kinds of jobs.

> No mention of EU chat control > No mention of "age verification" > No mention of people arrested for Twitter posts in the UK and the EU What did they mean by this?

I could see value in slowing down or re-reading crafted writing like Tolkien's. I've been doing that with St. Paul's epistles. There is no value in doing it for modern clickbait or AI slop though.

Wondering about that too. What are the "wonderfullness" criteria? For example, the first article I clicked on: https://juliagalef.com/2017/08/23/unpopular-ideas-about-soci... has some pretty vile st

I'd stopped scrobbling like 10 years ago, but recently got into it again. My 16yo son discovered Last.fm and scrobblibg and got me to install the Jellyfin scrobbler plugin. And I recovered my old account! I got some boomer music jokes

Wow, those US vs EU prices... I picked a random Seagate 8TB drive that the site lists as costing $103. It's GBP 145 in the UK (~EUR 166) and as much as EUR 200 in my Eastern Europe country! I'm blaming tariffs and VAT. The EU suck

That's quite the bold faced lie. I've been on nostr for years and it's been pretty friendly and never offensive.

IRC is what brought me to Linux in the 90's and started my programmer career. And it was for the stupidest reason - WinNuke! It was trivial to BSOD a remote Windows box, and Linux made you immune to that!
