I have tried switching family members over after malware incidents. The most success was setting my 80 year old grandmother up with Lubuntu. She had no issue picking it up. I don’t think she even really noticed vs Windows. Lasted a few year

I have been a Linux desktop user for 20+ years. It is incredible how far it has come. There is nothing Microsoft can do that will drive the normies away though. Microsoft knows this and that is why we are where we are.

Very interesting. I found myself nodding YES the whole way through the post. Something like this could lead to a large shift in how we manage infrastructure. We split terraform configs for more reasons than just splitting state of course, b

The market seems bad right now. Companies are offshoring everything they can and squeezing both sides. At my company, we only hire in India now and the executives are intentionally causing "attrition" in the US by running people i

That is unfortunate. Not because I think they should have to, but because they eventually will have to if it gets big enough. Never underestimate the ability of your users to hold it wrong. The default install only binds to loopback, so I a

I love this website. It is a throwback to the old internet I grew up with. It has it all. Packed with esoteric information gathered and curated by a passionate group. Designed for desktop only with its own unique aesthetic. Not covered with

For me, it just requires different genres of music. Brainstorming with LLM? Literal background noise like distant thunderstorm. Pairing with LLM? Classical. Solo? Still technical death metal.

The average person has no idea how industrialized fraud has become. There are essentially entire companies with management, support staff, IT, and office buildings whose business is fraud. It is sad when you think about how many resources h

I always seem to end up dual booting Windows to play games. I’ve made it quite a while without installing Windows now. Mostly because I haven’t had the desire to game much, but also because of how good gaming on Linux is now. I will hold ou

Cool. I want a do it all python tool. Ruff is great. Having it out of the box with uv is great. Less crap to mess with. I haven’t tried ty yet, but looking forward to not having to mess with pyright. Wary of the vc funded aspect though…

I have had the same experience within the last 18 months. The storage team came back to me and asked me to spread my ultra high throughput write workload across 52 (A-Za-z) prefixes and then they pre-partitioned the bucket for me. S3 will a

You can provision gateway endpoints for S3 and DynamoDB. They are free and considered best practice. They are opt-in though, but easy to enable.

Honestly, everything I have written in markdown files as AI context fodder is stuff that I write down for human contributors anyway. Or at least stuff I want to always write down, but maybe only halfway do. The difference now is it is actua

Medical marijuana dispensaries are not covered entities under HIPAA [0]. The way the law works is weird, but they are not required to comply. All the more reason the federal government needs to catch up with the times on cannabis. [0] http

I have so much nostalgia for that time period. Counter-strike was my introduction to how the Internet and TCP/IP worked. I built my first PC to play it. I learned linux to run servers for it. It inspired me and my friends to learn C to

Oh wow. I thought it was anthropic even after skimming the site. The color scheme and styling is pretty similar. That feels a little slimy.

If it is a higher up, someone I am actively working with, or someone I know well, then I take the "quick call". Otherwise, I push back and ask them to write out their question somehow. This ends up a few outcomes, usually positive

You made a mistake there. 2 + 2 is 5. <insert ridiculous sequence of nonsense CoT> You are absolutely right!… I love the tool, but keeping on track is an art.

Using claude code feels like pairing with another programmer. Cursor feels like a polished extension of the IDE. They are both good tools and easily worth $20/mo. I think Anthropic has a 7 day free trial going on. Worth trying it out.

Thank you for sharing these prompts. These are excellent.

I've been working with Claude Code daily for a month or so. It is quite excellent and better than the other agents I have used (Cursor, Q). This article has some good tips that echo some of the things I have learned. Some additional th

The article resonates. AI coding assistants are cool and fun to use, but they just help solve a solved problem faster. The really exciting thing is exploring the new problems we can solve with this tool. It has really reignited my passion f

In my experience, companies seem to want to pay the cloud provider tax in order to avoid capacity planning. Sometimes it makes sense because it is hard to predict when something is going to take off. I have also worked at companies with ver

Just open the network tab and refresh a page in Jira and you will understand. It isn’t too noticeable on a LAN. Stick the internet in there and it is painful. The worst I have seen is self hosted and accessed over Netskope ZTNA. Truly an ab

This is amazing. Thank you for sharing! What a nostalgia trip. Reminds me of sitting in the computer lab in the library in my elementary school in 1990. Some days, I'd give anything to go back.

An approach that has worked for me is to hash partition the table and have each worker look for work in one partition at a time. There are a number of strategies depending on how you manage workers. This allows you to only consider 1/N

This is not the worst interview question I have seen, but it sure could use some improvement. The naming of things is pretty confusing. Async queue, send once, and send many all threw me off and aren't good descriptions for what we are

I assume this is like a pilot in WW1 reporting how finicky and hard to use bi-planes were. No doubt a bunch of weapons manufacturers have seen this and the special operations Ukraine did in Russia and Israel did in Iran and the wheels of pr
