A project I took on about a month ago: How reverse engineering, deterministic conversion, a clean C engine, pixel-exact rendering, and real-time AdLib synthesis rebuilt Lemmings for a modern one-bit handheld. Just wanted to share how revers

I have a Kindle Scribe Colorsoft. I’ve been able to upload pretty much any relevant media, primarily epub, pdf and images. I just use send to kindle via web or email. It’s not censoring or rejecting content. Not sure what benefit jailbr

Part of it is that the data pipelines in the Mac are far more efficient with its soldered memory and enhanced buses. You would have to use something like Halo Strix on the PC side see similar performance upticks at a somewhat affordable pr

I’ve moved to rust for some select projects and it’s actually been a bit easier… I converted an electron app to rust/tauri… perf improvement was massive and development was quicker. I’m rethinking the stacks I should be focused on.

Completely disagree. It’s like telling typists that they need to hand write to truly understand their craft. Syntax is just a way of communicating a concept to the machine. We now have a new (and admitidly imperfect) way of doing that.

I have been running dangerously, but I always make sure to start a new session, have claude read the docs (I have already generated) related to the project in question, and then scope the work to just those things in the current sandbox. I

I have been primarily in the tiling window manager space for the past 5 years… that said I’ve been driving Cosmic on my NixOS workstation and I’m really impressed… it looks great, is simple, performs well and does tiling quite well. It’s n

Am I the only one that uses ohmyposh with fish? I have a killer custom posh theme that I’ve been using for years and the performance is fantastic.

I just had my iphone 12 mini battery replaced. This thing performs as well as the day I bought it. It will be a sad day when I have to "upgrade".

This guys is really on a mission. Is there really a war against SPAs? Well designed SPAs can be incredible.

Yeah, I should have made that more clear. You are 100% correct, I manage 5 other managers and they have about 10 devs each under them. I do work directly with virtually all of the devs and handle the majority of PRs so we are all one big

I have 5 manager under me, so the 60 are not direct reportees. I do interact directly with most of the devs, but the other managers do a good deal of the lifting too.

I'm the senior manager, I have about 5 managers under me so I don't have 60 reportees.

This article is pretty on point with my experience. I'm a "senior technical" manager (of about 60 engineers) and with that comes a ton of responsibility that pulls me away from coding at every turn. I have to be in every ca

As it turns out, printer hardware/software is something I specifically don't want any innovation. My 10 year old color and B&W Brother (wifi) laser printers are part of a very short list of "just works" tech I use r

I've been thinking about this a bit lately and I think it's actually less about fundamentals and more of an issue with process. I'm not saying that fundamentals are not essential, but we often don't have the time to lea

The article is just saying a sedentary lifestyle is not healthy. I easily sit for 10 hours per day, but I also work out 6 days per week. I'm sure I'm fine as long as my circulation is good. Exercise is the silver bullet.

Thanks, I will give them a look. I have yabai installed, but I really need this machine to be stable and secure and yabai is neither.

I have a Mac and a Linux box for work. I have been using my Macbook for some AI work I'm doing, but my workflow has been a mess. I had 4 desktops going, 2 projects opened w/debugging, many browser tabs opened to various docs, MS

When I pair with other developers the difference is obvious. Being able to work efficiently in a complex environment is a skill that not many have unfortunately.

Two years ago, I transitioned to a minimalist tiling window manager (WM) despite my initial reservations about them. This change was prompted by my desire to experiment with high-end hardware and a 4K multi-monitor setup in a tiled environm

I could not (respectfully) disagree more. It's true that you can get a (seemingly) working system out of the gate, but that's rarely where I experience issues with Gnome or KDE. My issues usually happen after errant updates. To

Openbox is a good floating wm if tilers aren't for you.

This is my DE free terminal-centric setup: https://imgur.com/a/8mAoT2u It took me about 3 weeks to figure everything out. You ideally need to use a distro where you can build from scratch (Arch/NixOS/Void&#x

That's fine, but you will gain that time back after the initial setup is done. Pretty soon you will be fighting the system rather than it working for you. The point where Gnome tends to go to shit is when installing the new major&#x2F

Apple probably wants to tap into the "Apple Watch Edition" crowd that will spend absurd money for the exclusivity and not complain much.
