I am already using Claude in Xcode 26.2. What did they change / add specifically in 26.3? It's not super clear behind the marketing haze.

This highlights a common pitfall: If you “solve” a problem with a “temporary” solution, you lower the priority of the better solution below every unsolved problem. And there are always enough of those to ensure no one ever revisits the temp

Important caveat with Firefox: You can run your own Firefox Account server (see https://mozilla-services.readthedocs.io/en/latest/howtos/run... ) and then e.g. connect to it over a VPN to mitigate a lot of thi

I would encourage folks to listen to this podcast episode from April 2020 for some background on how the virus itself can carry detectable earmarks of being natural or lab-grown and what we see in SARS-CoV-2 based on that: https:/&#x2

They think they aren’t, but it’s yet another thing they’re confused about.

Peter Thiel almost certainly didn’t invent this. The idea that our decisions are heavily influenced by those around us is one of those things that’s been well-established in the relevant scientific communities for some time but has a hard t

In my experience "Does your company measure the long term benefit of X?" is 99.99999% "no" for any X.

I'm hoping this leads to an announcement of some kind of hypervisor support in iPadOS 15. I would imagine that would come at WWDC if it's coming. Seems like it would allow software development on the iPad while retaining app sandb

That's a fair question and something I should have clarified in my comment (though I have a feeling it is likely addressed in the blog post I linked to). It gets into the deeper motivation behind not breaking backwards compatibility wi

I see a lot of comments in here about the v2+ rule’s reason for existing being to allow importing multiple major versions of a module. That’s not it at all. As the blog post (which was easily Googled by me and explains things quite well IMO

It is free for the time being. But you point out a good reason why we built dgit to support other storage backends.

Totally fair. We definitely want to make that install process very simple and fast for as many people as we can. And it only needs to be done once per machine. :)

Cool! We'll look into that.

Our setup process is a much lighter lift than standing up a server and installing gitolite on it. But yes, if GitHub is down, then your workflow is going to change. We're hoping to close that gap down the road, but having a way to cont

Absolutely. Our strategy is to give you a decentralized on-ramp by starting with GitHub's central value proposition of the "one true git remote" that everyone can share. We made a GitHub action ( https://github.com&

dgit dev here. Good question. For starters, dgit is not 100% tied to Sia, it's just a great decentralized file hosting service so we started with it as the first default. But to answer your question, anyone can host Sia nodes. Here are

Straw man alert. I've never heard a YIMBY argue for "build anything, anywhere." I've only ever heard them argue for exactly what the article proposes, i.e. smart, context-aware density.

So all of the corporate breaches show that the entire private sector is irresponsible with data too? Maybe the problem is a little deeper than "government is irresponsible?"

Does anyone know if there is an implementation of the key-press-light-flash-delay temporal illusion anywhere online? I'd love to try that out and experience the light flash "before" the key press after conditioning my brain t

Humbug: https://humbughq.com/signup/ Still pretty new, and in closed beta. But it adds an interesting threading/topic model onto the typically chaotic stream of most group chat apps.

There's a common fallacious argument in here: A. The corporations that have the most power in this industry have lobbied for and gotten a consumer-hostile regulatory regime. B. It's the government's fault that the regulations are less than

Yeah, it changes the game when you need to fill out a pre-existing PDF form with user-supplied data (as opposed to free form PDF generation). In my experience, you pretty much have to use a Java library (such as iText) for this. So for a Ra

I worked as a Rails dev at the DNC in 2010-2011. I pushed for open-sourcing our fully-featured voter reg. Rails app back then, but didn't find much support for the idea. The political world is pretty wary of "giving code away" because the o

I'm not claiming it did. I'm saying that a very different PC desktop / laptop OS and software ecosystem back in the mid-nineties would have ripple effects on PCs, phones, and tablets today.

This article misses the forest for the trees. During the height of Microsoft's monopoly, consumers were very much limited in their choices. MS did everything they could to keep the likes of OS/2 and BeOS off of new PCs, and that means no on

Instead of doing the "guy*" thing where you point out that you're just as excited to work with women as men, I would remove the gender-specific language altogether. Then it's a non-issue. If you don't exclude female co-founders right off th

The difference between MongoDB and many of the other popular persistent data stores (relational or not) is one of degree, not of kind. MongoDB isn't a fundamentally flawed system. It's just that the distance between what 10gen (and many o
