Yea, I'm trying to figure out how to attend. I've been PD approved to go, but I can't figure out how to plan around getting a ticket, booking airfare, etc

I had the Oculus DK1, and now have a Meta Quest 2. I haven't had reason to boot it in the past... year? I love the idea of the Apple Vision Pro 2, but its wildly expensive and it sounds too heavy to wear for very long throughout the da

Rust makes you solve many of your problems upfront, which is a nice feedback loop for using with an LLM. Go does much of this too, but I feel Rust is more experessive and takes the frontloading a bit further.

I just installed Steam on Ubuntu yesterday, and I'm impressed at the progress so far. A HUGE number of titles run flawlessly.

Soooo close, but I have a 4 floor house. Talk to me when it does stairs.

Now… why is Jira so painfully slow? Even changing the type of a ticket or moving it takes like 20 clicks and a minute

But when you hit that wall, it is hard to stop and convince people to use different patterns and systems. I've seen so many tables go from "it will only be a few thousand rows" to suddenly several TB and then people are looki

For those able to contribute a bit monetarily, he's also got a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/textfiles I love his podcast, and was able to back it for about a year.

I, too, love soldering. I've done it since I was around 6 years old (wood burning before that). It's what I do when I want to zone out and relax. I've found random people at Burning Man and camping events who needed help with

Right? Visicalc wasn't using anything that a terminal didn't offer.

Maybe I've just got deep scars from the 90's, where I'd wait 15-25 minutes sometimes to download a single mp3. I have a FIOS connection here at home, and it seems entirely sufficient. Even AAA steam games, I hit 'downloa

I could imagine a leadership or viewpoint change in how they reported when/what was down. I've seen so many times where Company A will complain that their vendors aren't accurate enough about uptime and how Company A notices

This feels a bit like when my friend Colin put out a challenge for people to get Windows XP running on the then-new Intel Macs. I love this idea. I'd love a tiny full computer that I could dock onto other hardware and just carry around

My first real soldering project (aside from just making cables) was a x0xb0x TB-303 clone. I somehow built it with a $10 radioshack iron and nail-clippers as flush cutters in an un-air conditioned Boston studio apartment over a summer. Prob

I've used it with Claude Code for refactoring and helping write a really in depth D&D campaign. Using frontmatter, I can keep metadata about NPCs and characters synced across all files. Fixes all the problems I've had about &q

Same. I lost data this way. It wasn't worth it. Happy to support Obsidian

That's a lot of PeDoFiles! (But seriously, great work here!)

I was inspired by the work here, so I sat down with Claude to make something similar, for the purpose of being able to play Z-Machine (Infocom games, Inform 6/7 Z-code) and modern Inform 7 games with Glulx. So far I've tested it w

I'd have to check, but I wonder what pitch the song is in? Could have it just been sped up ever so slightly in mastering, or even just between tape playback from mixing to mastering? I have to wonder if this is like Dark Side of the Mo

This has been driving me up a wall. I was seriously considering if I had just gotten 'old' or something. I've had every iPhone since the first one, and suddenly I feel like I'm typing with mittens on.

I’ve considered that too- particularly for riding Asia. I do wonder the logistics too of a foreigner buying a vehicle and getting all the paperwork in line, and selling it then; but it might still be easier and cheaper on the balance

I care a lot about the environment. It seems obvious that there is an impact, but it seems relatively small- something that if it wasn’t AI would be counted as a rounding error by many. People keep raising AI’s environmental impact to me as

I’ve been looking for a reasonable way to get me and my motorcycle to Europe and back (rentals of my bike are $300/day, and I want to ride off-road occasionally, which isn’t great for rentals). I’ve also always wanted to sail the ocean

Agreed. They feel massively overpriced. Covid and government rebates had everyone using them as cash cows. I installed a 24k btu one for my recording studio myself. Took me 3 hours. It’s a cheap Mr Cool one, but seems good enough for me and

Yup. I've got an M1 Pro from work, and while I'm looking forward to hopefully getting an M5 in December, I really don't know if it will be a significant increase in my daily tasks or enjoyment. I do have an M4 Pro Mini that&#

Trial periods. Asking employees to do less in their first months. Maybe not great mitigations, but that’s what I could come up with
