Good to know I'll still have the reassurance of a 9:30 standup even though AI is reading my thoughts.

The MIDI sequencer that launched a thousand 90s EDM careers. Unique workflow that I wanted to preserve so I reversed it and built a simulator with Claude.

I always wanted to pipe `ps -a` to something interactive using vim key bindings to select the process to kill. Maybe now someone in the comments will tell me how to do it with xargs and a complicated vim script instead of vibe coding my own

The authors mention the possibility of holographic curing of multiple simultaneous layers. That seems significant although they haven't demonstrated it here.

This is basically the Atomic CSS idea [1]. Yes it violates separation of concerns, but it does a good job at getting the page weight down. [1] http://acss.io

Since I moved to California I no longer wear socks at all. I find that there is little need given the climate. Maybe this is the real reason for the miracle of Silicon Valley?

You can prefix your command with pasuspender to temporarily disable pulseaudio. This is usually what I do. It's kind of inconvenient and half the time I forget to do it, so sometimes I just write a little launcher script that includes it.

To get true understanding of what you're working with you need to be able to trash the configuration of your gear at will. I learned a lot buying up some big old Cisco Catalysts and EMC Clariion SAN boxes back when I was doing data center w

There just needs to be some UX work here indicating the document status. Just like typing a chat message. "blahblah has entered text"-style. Evernote did this early on in their Windows application, we did it with Ubernote - it rocks. Everyt

This is one of the reasons I stopped messing around trying to find the perfect text editor. I focused on getting better with a stock VIM install. I think the spirit of this post is that you should at least give the defaults a chance before

Citing a single data point doesn't refute the quoted assertion. It is basically the same as me trying to refute that air travel is safer than automobile travel per passenger mile by mentioning a single notable crash. I'm not trying to downp

It takes a lot of discipline to run a shared power setup like you describe. Most of those servers that have two power supplies operate in a shared power mode, rather than active/failover. This means that if one of your sides (LH/RH) is over

I used to use CopSSH for running sshd on Windows. Worked pretty well from what I can remember. It's just cygwin+sshd packaged up nicely.

I wrote something like this as a user script that works in FF(w/Greasemonkey)/Chrome/Opera a while ago [1]. The idea is to remove individual stories or add filters rather than removing everything like the OP. My script is based on VI-style

I like the declarative way of defining/extending the highlighters in code. Clean, direct and easy to grok if you're familiar with regexps.

I've tried what the OP has done in the past. I ran into the mouse issue and what I did to make it better was to map the button under the analog stick to increase the mouse speed. Getting the pointer to a rough position quickly is a more gro

I've got to push back on the anti-guid stance for surrogate keys. They may be big but it is nice to have opaque IDs so that no one makes flawed assumptions about ordering or relative insertion time/trying to guess valid IDs, etc. Opaque is

This made my morning. You should write a gonzo-style programming epic. It reminds me that some of what we do might as well be magic to the people that hire us and unlike in past cultures where we'd be anointed as medicine men and revered as

I thought about doing an in-browser git implementation for enabling offline mode in a webapp. Doing things with git would make some really interesting sync scenarios possible. Looking at what was involved though, I think I'm glad I didn't g
