Amateur musician with mild/moderate high frequency tinnitus here. I was treated with exposure therapy, and while I hear the sound (less now than before) it doesn't bother me any more. I would recommend a book called "Living W

I was tasked to rewrite an Oracle Apex webapp. 70k lines of PL/SQL. I asked Claude Sonnet 4.6 to read it all and boil it down to markdown file with business requirements. Took about 15-20 minutes, and I got a 700 lines long markdown fi

Haven't tried this, but I've recently become a big fan of Matt Pococks skills. Workflow: /grill-with-docs -> /to-prd -> /to-issue -> /tdd. That will interview relentlessy until there is a "shared

Software engineer here, since 2008. Will coding be relevant in the future? Not so sure. Maybe a little. Mostly for teaching? How about code? Absolutely! Everything is code! If we don't understand code, we're useless. Software engi

I've been trying voxtype (using whisper models) lately, and to my surprise all my ums are filtered out. It's really good now actually!

> Yes it takes a bit of work but it isn’t that bad. Agreed, it takes a few hours to set up everything. But just did it with Claude the other day, and I was up and running in no time! :-)

When was the last time you used Jenkins? I don't get the hate. Not only from you, but lots of people on the internet. What makes Jenkins stand out IMO is the community and the core maintainers, they are perhaps moving slow, but they ar

This is just awesome! But seems like a closed source project, and the pricing page returns HTTP 404. Are there any open source alternatives like this? First time I hear about this idea. However, I can imagine it wouldn't take much effo

Similar story happened to me once: I had recently got my drivers license, and one day went to bed early (completely sober). In my dream that night I got drunk, took my dads car and wrecked it. When I woke up next morning, first thing I did

One cool use case for this could be "generative hybrid video meetings"; when I participate in a teams meeting and the majority is in the same physical room, the video conference software could read the wall camera video feed and g

Very interesting! Is there reason to believe that the outcome would be different if the experiment was re-run but replacing the humans with coin-flipping machines?

This is really stupid, old, legacy sh*t. If the USB HumanInoutDevice spec would support full unicode, keyboards could just send unicode directly and not rely on a not-known-by-the-keyboard-firmware language setting. The language settings wo

Been using LazyVim for professional go development for over a year now. I can't see any features promised here that I do not already have. LazyVim is a NeoVim configuration for those who don't know. Together with the golsp its ins

Ever since I learned how to use the Miryoku layout, I've been using vim with the hjkl navigation-keys shifted one position to the right. Those are also my arrow keys on a separate layer in the keyboard firmware. And I never looked back

Miryoku user here. Nice post! Symbols in a mirrored numpad shape to fix $ and ^ seems brilliant, I might have to try that! And the caps word feature, holy crap thats awesome. Where are your \, ` and F keys, you don't use them? And why

I'm a senior software developer and experienced unix user, and I loved the nix principles. So I installed nixOS on my laptop and it worked like a charm! But after a few months those complex corner cases came up and I was forced to writ

Wow, no this is new to me. Looks a bit heavy for my personal taste, but nice to see some solid quality products like these available on the market.

I was working on my Nix config. I had just added a small command line utility and wanted to install it, but then got 504 errors from github.com. Annoying!

> Okay! Wow. The script is 1338 lines long. That’s a lotta shell – I will not reproduce it here. But also: come on, Nix maintainers. Trim one line. You’re so close. Made me laugh! :D This material is gold by the way - I am learning NixOS
