Cheers! We've been running the various betas in production for a couple of months now. For our Rails app we replaced most of our Hotwired/Turbo with HTMX. For me at least, HTMX just makes more sense: you control the flow of conten

Same, although my M1 pro has only 16 GB of RAM and that does seem to slow it down a bit with my current usage. I recently bought a used Mac Studio M2 Max with 64 GB RAM and it's much faster, both subjectively and objectively by looking

It's a small team of four, everyone works on the "full stack" which is Rails with HTMX and very little JS. As the lead dev, I am usually the one to make the decision that we should use the modern browser standards. It's

Thanks for giving me some confidence, I converted one of our popovers to use anchor positioning and it was actually rather easy. Just had to use anchor-scope which not all tutorials use!

Popover, dialog, invoker commands, our entire production app uses these everywhere and it works really well! The fact that dialogs and popovers are rendered on the "top layer" and that nested popovers are also automatically stacke

Did you read actually read the article and if so, did you read until the end? Let me just respond by quoting the article: > When experts started speaking out about the Ocean Cleanup several years ago, I witnessed several of them endure o

This feels like an uninformed, generalized opinion from someone with zero experience on the topic. Have you even used HTMX or a similar approach? Besides the memes, it is absolutely not hype-driven, but hypermedia driven. It asks the questi

For me personally, there is no point in using more reasoning than medium or sometimes high. It just gets so much slower and expensive, meaning that i have to wait longer to evaluate the results and provide feedback or continue to the next t

It's not OpenAI, that's what the memory industry wants you to think.

I recently installed an app to manually activate the fans on my MacBook Pro M1 Pro as I've never been able to trigger them over the past 4+ years. Just to check whether the fans even work (they do).

I can find it on rubygems but the link there to GitHub returns a 404.

My father is a journalist and learned to type by himself on typewriters using his index fingers. He writes a lot and he is really fast. I don't have any issues with that.

You hit the nail on the head here. Saying and doing are two very different things. It's also especially tempting to find an excuse to use some shiny new thing that everyone is always talking about. Both for personal learning and curios

I totally agree, but that's not what happens in reality: the average devops knows k8s and will slap it onto anything they see (if only so they can put in on their resume). The average manager hears about k8s, gets convinced they need a

> Making Kubernetes good is inherently impossible, a project in putting (admittedly high quality) lipstick on a pig. So well put, my good sir, this describes exactly my feelings with k8s. It always starts off all good with just managing

I don't really have the hardware to try it out, but I'm curious to see how Qwen3.5 stacks up against Gemma 4 in a comparison like this. Especially this model that was fine tuned to be good at tool calling that has more than 500k d

I use voxtype on my Linux machine with parakeet. Super fast and regularly even gets the tech lingo correct. You can configure prompts and keywords to help with that as well.

Look at how many people only use their 14 inch laptop screen, it's ridiculous and terribly unergonomic.

Radeon R9700 with 32 GB VRAM is relatively affordable for the amount of RAM and with llama.cpp it runs fast enough for most things. These are workstation cards with blower fans and they are LOUD. Otherwise if you have the money to burn get

There was never a $100 billion deal. Only a letter of intent which doesn't mean anything contractually.

Wouldn't be surprised if they slowly start quantizing their models over time. Makes it easier to scale and reduce operational cost. Also makes a new release have more impact as it will be more notably "better" than what you&#

You are equally understating past performance as you are overstating current performance. One year ago I already ran qwen2.5-coder 7B locally for pretty decent autocomplete. And I still use it today as I haven't found anything better,
