We probably don’t need another tool calling protocol unless it is also a tool composition protocol. Armin Ronacher has recently been making some good points about tool composition: https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2025/8&#x2F

Ah, SunVox. It's like an instrument that Alexander Zolotov (AKA NightRadio) made for his own (excellent) music, and has generously shared with the world, creating a virtuous cycle of refinement in both his music and the instrument. I c

I think the annoyance is in the use of the word “ask” as a noun. Example: “I have an ask for you” being used instead of “I have a request for you”.

Perhaps leave sarcasm out of technical blog posts, or add a footnote to indicate sarcasm? I couldn't tell you were being sarcastic and it seems others couldn't as well. I only found out through this comment. Text is the worst medi

Upon reading the parent comment, I don't think this is what they were suggesting. They were making an analogy between what a band chooses to play live at a show based on context of the show, and what a streaming service could do to sug

Inspired by the recent post about simulating Pong circuitry, I thought I'd share this video that was recently shared amongst SunVox groups. It's a working Game of Life implementation, with output to an oscilloscope view. The video

I followed this advice right after the last time I spent 20 minutes having an ink-jet printer clean its nozzles thrice before I could print one sheet of monochrome text. I print infrequently enough that the nozzles would often dry up and ge

While GitUp is a GUI app, and only available for macOS, I think it's worth noting that it has some great undo/redo capabilities built in. From what I understand, some of them were more feasible to develop because they implemented

There is a LOT that happens psychologically to both parents immediately after birth, especially mothers, and some of it can seem insurmountable at first. Postpartum depression (and other conditions) are no joke. My sincerest condolences, an

The article does not mainly focus on whether the belief in crystals’ healing powers is bad. It is mostly about the mining operations that bring the crystals out of the ground to begin with, and how a surge in demand for them is driving that

There are also assumptions that everyone with a mobile phone will have the same phone number for a long time, never have their phone stolen or destroyed, could easily replace it and restore from a backup if it were, and pay their phone bill

It seems that the Sweet Peach company was doing something that had nothing to do with scents or deodorants, but instead were doing something with microbiome analysis and personalized health products. Then it was misrepresented by investors

Having been quoted in a newspaper article once, I can attest that journalists don't always care about precision when reproducing utterances.

These criticisms could be valid for Jupyter Notebook, but remember that JupyterLab is what's under discussion in this post. JuptyerLab is much more of an IDE-style than Notebook, and it includes very capable terminal and text editor co

The use of "free" here externalizes the cost of the time it takes to write or call restaurants, which could be potentially used for more rewarding activities. And assuming that the person is not a sociopath, it also externalizes t

I had a very similar experience. I switched for the pretty fonts, and stayed for the key bindings. You can even add your own key bindings to (almost) any menu item in (almost) any Cocoa app using System Preferences. After I discovered that,
