Couldn't agree more. Using a screen reader is an incredible learning experience, and it really teaches you just how extraordinary people can be: its incredibly difficult to get anything done. And then there are the people with motor di

NixOS is not a read only OS. There is an impermanence addon that can do this, though, for many partitions.

This problem has been around for a long time. Not only that but it would say this even when the problems were directly caused by their code. I put a line in my CLAUDE.md that says "If a test doesn't pass, fix it regardless of whet

Exactly: it depends on what you mean by "better". OS/2 had a much more modern basis, but: * it was painful to program compared to Windows * it required a lot more hardware (and thus money) to achieve the same level of perform

This works well for problems that are purely algorithmic in nature. But problems often have solutions that don't fall into those categories, especially in UI/UX. When people tell me that LLMs can solve anything with a sufficiently

The quality x price curve is not linear. Expensive materials and engineering often produce only incremental quality improvements, if any. Sometimes the improvements are only cosmetic. So Apple's headphones would need to be a lot closer

I think Apple is more responsible. One of Flash's chief benefits to the customers who paid the big bucks was that it 'just worked' everywhere. Once Apple stopped supporting Flash on the iPhone, that story was a lot less attra

You assume the marketing folks actually talk with the hardware folks. More likely its a big game of telephone....

Does anyone know if the company is still active. Haven't seen any updates for a while now. I like the product a lot, but products like this need security updates at the very least.

I discussed approaches in my earlier reply. But what you are saying now makes me think you are having problems with too much context. Pare down your CLAUDE.md massively and never let you context usage get over 60-65%. And tell CLAUDE not to

Those kinds of errors were super common 4-6 months ago, but LLM quality moves fast. Nowadays I don't see these very often at all. Two things that make a huge difference: work on writing a spec first. github.speckit, GSD, BMAD, whatever

Wrong. If you know nix then you know "leverages the unique way that Flox environments are rendered without performing a nix evaluation" is a very significant statement.

Author forgot about image, video, and music creation. These have all been quite successfully commercially, though maybe not as much artistically.

I don't think its for everyone, the paper metaphor either works for you or it doesn't. That said, the other big benefit for me is it breaks a lot less often than hyprland and its ecosystem seems to (and I don't just mean bugs

Niri has named workspaces, each of which has a scrolling model. So you can achieve something very very close to what you want.

So the Safari developers are overworked/under-resourced, but Google somehow should have infinite resources to maintain things forever? Apple is a much bigger company than Google these days, so why shouldn't they also have these in

People always make this argument, for at least the last 10 years. Since Apple has not yet shown any real action towards reducing their dependency on China, why would it be any different 5 years from now?

The Hold for Me and Direct My Call features for Pixel's Phone app both use Duplex models running locally on your device, and those features are quite popular. I think that counts as significant progress by any measure, so your point do

AFAICT, he told the team separately, and is just using IG to announce publicly. I don't see how that is any worse than the usual dry press release.

The thing I thought was hilarious is that they put in a zillion funny gadgets, but you can't get a USB-C port instead of that godawful Lightning port.

Your personal experience is not something that can be so easily generalized. I've had my Model 3 for 4+ years, and the only real problems I've had are non-mechanical (nails embedded in tires, getting keyed in SF, etc.). See - we c

You should re-read the comment you are replying to. You misunderstood.

This is apparently a new and unprecedented bonus from Apple, over and above "normal" stock compensation. I'd be surprised if they repeat this every year.

As an engineering manager, this is definitely not true for me. If you have a long history of short tenures, you aren't worth the time to bring up to speed (which is generally 4-6 months). Having a short stint or two isn't a big de
