Do you want to release it to the general public or just a circle of friends and family? TestFlight lets you have up to a hundred users forever without ever truly releasing. I have a couple of home-relevant apps I am managing that way.

Congrats on inventing a Time Machine in the early 80s. Why are you just contacting us now?

God bless the Trump administration. Sounds like that’s a bunch of my summer task list checked off as No Longer Viable.

May I introduce you to the Free State Project. Also, I don’t think the Sentinelese intended to found a society, given they most likely lack the concept for the concept for that.

Oh cool, I thought I had wound up leaving something weird in my CLAUDE.md file that it was always saying Good Night.

Didn't we have a story just yesterday that Anthropic's run-rate now looks like $49 billion/ year and they might have their first quarterly profit? I would suggest if you have billions of dollars coming in the door and aren&

My math is crap: 19 years.

Same. The one that cemented it for me is The Matrix is only a quarter-century old, yet some people watched it and thought, "Oooh, good idea!" You can't even complain the context was gone.

You ain’t gotta be sniffy about it, English.

Yes, but I was kinda hoping Hannah Arendt’s lessons had been internalized and we would progress. More the fool I.

Is there a repo for the new project?

It’s been a long time since I used it but it’s one of those pieces of open source that was so vital to my career when contracting I treated it like I had an annual subscription to pay each year.

Same. Growing up Gen X, I always thought robots being used for evil would be cool dystopian dictatorships that would try to grind me under its boot but I would resist. Instead it’s just twerps who are so terminally online they can’t fathom

Hmm, what kind of electrical work? I had it "watch over my shoulder" as I swapped out the pressure switch on our home well and it was a big help. And in the run up to that when I explained opening the 220 box and checking that was

Uh, it's been a while since I've been inside one, but I would guess it's very common in a certain strain of US private schools, not as a rule.

The middle one is fascinating. The first track I ever scrobbled is by an artist I have yet to listen to again in 22 years. Much of the longest gaps is taken up by bands I found or started to like due to Rock Band which came out around that

Hey, we had some good times together you and me.

Same. I have one or more gaps in there which I wish I could go back and correct. I feel like integration with the service is a must for any music thing I pick up, the most recent being this year, resurrecting my old iTunes library via Navid

That was the other one. I was very happy with “points” because I finally got the double entendre in Bob Seger’s Night Moves. Until then I only knew the entendre part!

I should revisit it, but we came at it from different places (and good Lord I read it over a quarter century ago). There are some threads from previous Ellroy books (Pete Bondurant himself) and, assuming I recall any of this correctly after

Damnit, sunk by the T.S. Eliot thing again: “It is impossible to say just what I mean”. I host a bunch of services on a handful of machines locally. The main one of which died two weeks ago and is waiting on a new SSD drive so we can proper

Based on the header “Why another one” I would guess what it does is scratch an itch for the author. Showing my age, but I still get hopeful things with this particular suffix make use of the CueCat somehow. https://en.wikipedia.o

This New Yorker piece inspired me to finally pick up On the Road last night. I don think it’s a terrible book, but I would say the jury’s out on the people. I’m eighty or so pages in and waiting for the magic to happen. If it’s more of a to

That’s interesting. I was a huge Ellroy fan and I think that’s probably my favorite book. I always got the impression in his books the idea was the protagonists were heroes or, more accurately, could have been if there was any place for the

Yeah, this led me to the author’s other pieces in The New Yorker this weekend. I generally dislike short stories but really liked both of those. Both her fiction and non-fiction prose style appeal to me. I think there’s a leanness to it whi

They most certainly do motorcycle maintenance! I remember asking my dad what the hell points used to be on engines. The first few chapters contain a lot of talk about motorcycle maintenance. You’re not going to learn to change out a carb or

I think you are confused. I self-host a ton of stuff. One thing I have zero interest in is hosting mail and dealing with all of the configuration and possible timebombs waiting before I can even do the single thing I want the service to do.
