You've saved me an immeasurable amount of time and sanity over the last few years with the tools you've been building, and simply put: thank you. I'm extremely excited to give Ghostty a whirl.

I wonder how much of this is due to the annoyances of owning a printer. I can get close to 15-20 cards for the price of the ink cartridges and that's not even touching the price of buying software to print cards.

Hey, at least egg prices will be lower! (/s) Cheap political quips aside, it makes me uneasy and frustrated that vaccination is currently very popular but is being turned into a political issue just for a big grift. The overwhelming

I switch back and forth between using autocomplete/LSP in an IDE and plain-jane vim. Autocomplete isn't the end-all-be-all of productivity you're making it out to be. I've only found it truly useful in a codebase, langua

This is just kicking the can down the road. The bigger question is how the Chromium forks are going to respond long-term. I suspect the APIs enabling ad blocking are only going to get more clamped down requiring additional work for forks.

Regarding Thunderbolt, I don't even bother buying USB-C cables anymore for anything important. If it's in my backpack or used for a dock/monitor, it's going to be a Thunderbolt cable. Expensive? Absolutely. Unnecessary?

Not really. While I think there's a lot of higher-priority work that could be done, it's worth taking a moment to step back and look at the process of academia to see if what we have is working, what needs changing, and what impro

Typically these desirable places have optional amenities that people want, like jobs. Not many tech positions available in Huntington, WV.

Divorce isn’t a bad thing. If you’re looking for ownership of people, marriage is a poor choice.

Some libraries break across different versions of Python for a variety of reasons. Pinning python version with asdf (in conjunction with a venv) gets you reasonably far in ensuring a certain project works across a lot of people in a team.

I’m guessing the product manager pushing this is unfamiliar with keyboard shortcuts. I suppose it’s excusable to an extent. After all, the mouse exists, and only the people who actually do work figure out keyboard shortcuts.

This is an unnecessarily obtuse and pedantic response to the thought being raised. Yes, a neighbor may not realize they're sharing their network, however, interpreting their "next door" comment as a literal unit of proximity

And the algorithm seems to prioritize videos that have extraordinarily lame and over-processed preview images and comically dramatic titles. I personally like the boring deep-dive technical videos. The people uploading these videos don&#x27

Regarding The Verge, I wish something like Apple News existed in this space. I'd happily throw in $10/mo into a pool that distributed money towards a bunch of different smaller tech reporting/blogs/YouTube channels. I ju

SweeTango tastes great. I’ve been buying apple cider made of it for the last two autumns.

No, in the US we just stick fingers in our ears while we let the private sector do it while screaming “la-la-la” and closing our eyes.

If one really wanted to embrace chaos, introduce this as a new team file naming standard for "risk finding" files ;)

Boy do I have news for you if you think China is the only country that pours money into domestic R&D for strategic commercial development…

Or hold off on the academic-style pretentiousness and come back down to the real world. At some point, we have to decide that there's a lot of knowledge expectations depending on your stack, especially as parts of your application grow

Same for the most part. Our TAMs have been great to work with and so have a number of engineers the handful of times we needed it. We've had moments of some back-and-forth at times, but overall I've been satisfied.

I am expected to produce business value at the end of the day and I wear multiple hats. Paying someone to be the expert in the room is the best value sometimes. I’d rather focus on my expertise and mental energy in other tools that are muc

You can open a ticket and make the weirdest of issues with MSK Amazon’s problem to deal with. Same with RDS, etc. It’s pretty great not to waste time when the lottery for the bizarrest of 0.000001% issues arise. The operator only solves the

This is yet another security measure that completely ignores the real world and will become yet another security measure that gets ignored. People lose credentials all the time, from social security cards, to drivers licenses, and passports

The SpaceX engineers are incredible for being able to pull this off.

Dismissing a review as “wasting” is like listening to a junior engineer tell everyone it’s pointless to waste time testing invalid user input because an enduser would have no chance at even innocently sending bad data to a system.

It’s pretty relevant considering the continued mismanagement of Mozilla. Nobody would care about Mozilla in 2024 without Firefox, but Firefox development seemingly takes a back seat to a variety of other pet projects that Mozilla’s manageme

Can you name a single country that succeeded by following pedantic absolutism? I’ll wait.

While the term “monopoly” is being misused, it shouldn’t be that difficult to determine, with basic reading comprehension, that the intent is “seemingly anti-competitive behavior”.

This is a revisionist and blatant lie. I’ve been online longer than some on here have been alive and at no point was this ever true for any meaningful period of time. Adblocking the web has been available since the 90s in some form. Popup b

I'm a big supporter of public transit but this absolutism isn't grounded in reality. A 5-10mi change in destination in almost every system that I'm aware of can add a tremendous amount of time to a commute.
