I’ve self-hosted for 21 years. I also run mail servers for others, mostly non-profit adjacent groups who don’t have the capital to be extorted by cloud service providers. Sure, there are some things to learn, but like anything – if you do i

I would prefer the connection instructions made clear that the default SSH username would be used to set up my username on the platform and display that to other users without initially seeking my consent. On $machine[work], I don't ge

Umm, just no. "Law" =/= statute. I see this also purports to link to secondary regulation, but there's a reason lawyers pay huge chunks of cash to professional firms that ingest court decisions and other sources of appli

Exactly this. Most of my time writing code is now not necessarily spent writing the said code, but going through whatever Claude or some other agentic process produced and tidying the comments to be less temporally sensitive to the conversa

Seeing the level of thought that went into user experience design, research, and arguing for the _right_ page to redirect to is such a delight. Engineering (as with so many professions) is about so much more than just shipping features as q

Completely agree. I use randomness for all of these now – plausible randomness if it’s possible I’ll have to give it over a phone.

My first name can be shortened, and I go by either. When I first signed up to Claude, I thought we were entering the world of artificial “intelligence”, so I told it my name was “<long form> or <short form>”. Well, it hardcodes

Thanks! Oh I have every confidence we are still studying this, and that it's a thriving field – forgive me for implying that it wasn't. I was (badly) getting at the fact that back then, as a function of the totality of knowledge w

Agree with the other commenter - this is very charming! I find it a wonderfully romantic idea to contemplate that, at some point in human past, studying and developing new knots (or even stumbling upon new knots and sharing that idea) would

Nice site, but I'm really missing any altitude reference for the satellites. It's hard to use any satellite tracker with any degree of utility other than as a toy website when it's exceedingly difficult to determine and compa

Possibly a separate concern, but I have some degree of confidence that the requirements and oversight of the CA/B forum (or whomever else determines which root certs go into bundles) are sufficiently strict, and issuers kept under suff

The article lets itself down when it reveals it's had some marketing "polish" added: "where certain resources (like an AI model instance) are stored" They could have picked something far more concrete (for Cloudflar

I’ve consciously not used Fable because I want some usage allowance to remain for the rest of the week. The 2x billing is just too aggressive for me when I tried it (max x20 plan user currently).

I believe some Tube stock uses wheel revolution counters to track where the train is and trigger announcements, although a lot of signalling will be going over to using balises to tell the trains where they are (if not already) and to provi

This information is derived from open signalling data, which the signalling system _has_ to track to operate trains safely and identify their locations. The reality is the illusion of pinpoint accuracy is a figment of this site's imagi

There's no way its input data is anywhere near adequate for the rate the position indicators refresh, so it's taking some base data and then just... guessing the rest.

Not affiliated with the site, but it's almost certainly just the Train Describer feed from Network Rail to observe headcodes stepping through berths, and then doing some proprietary interpolation within berths to guess where the trains

It's probably a static feed, and they've probably had to do some lifting to define the layout and map that to the raw data they get from Network Rail, and they've probably not updated it for newly opened stations. There is a

Thanks for following up! I had another play and I see what you mean about par, makes sense. It would be great if the 4r perhaps isn't introduced until the game gets into the later stages of editing buffers – I think that would avoid re

by greengreengrass 3mo ago
Neat, but the (presumably AI-generated) provenance of this means it has regrettable gaps and errors: On "There and back", it says par is 6 – it's solvable in 4. On "Rush hour", it describes an invalid motion 'r

At least in the UK, Sonder also wasn’t cheap and some of their properties left a bit to be desired. Plus there were often people (staff) sat in the reception anyway, so I don’t really understand what they were doing or there for, or where t
