With tutorials, I’ve been enjoying handing my agent a directory of screenshots, talking out the process, then having it organize it all into a guide. Huge fan of Diataxis over the years!

C4[1]? Hadn’t heard of it until now. Thanks! Really curious what the major differences are that have you preferring it over other methods / winging it. [1]: https://c4model.com/

Slax brings back fond memories! I used to boot school computers into it to have access to OpenOffice, Firefox, ahem Ophcrack… I never ran Slackware Linux beyond that but the simplicity of being able to build a custom live USB through thei

FortNine made a really great video about the Motocompacto last year! https://youtu.be/WQAe7EtVi-4 He opens with an entertaining sketch then digs into some of the history around these portable vehicle concepts.

You just need an LLM agent that moves files around pointlessly, renames methods every so often without changing logic, bumps the year in your license. /s On a more serious note, you can't force anyone to spend more than a minute l

I was obsessed with the idea of music production as an engine within a game a long time ago. It was just something I came across in passing when I read about how Elder Scrolls Online created a soundtrack in a similar manner. This resurfaced

What’s the best screen size for reading manga on an eInk display? I’ve always had issues with the entry level Kindles cutting things off or requiring scrolling to get the bottom section of a page. It’s been a long time since I tried this bu

I think until we solve the knowledge supplementation problem (i.e., libraries providing extensive examples and LLMs being capable of ingesting, referencing, and incorporating it quickly) we’ll be headed for a tech monoculture—one framework

I just don't think that's true. This seems like a really pessimistic take. Is it truly "globalist world domination" — implying that our corporate overlords want us to live like this? Or is it purely function and aesthe

I used to use qemu-user-static to run ARM Linux distros like Buildroot, Yocto, and Raspbian on x88_64. It worked surprisingly well! Outside of some minor bugs here and there, it was perfect for local development, emulating an embedded syste

NileRed has a humorous YouTube video where he bakes cookies using only NIST reference ingredients. It costs something like $2000 to bake a single cookie and has all the flavor of cardboard.

Yes! I’ve used Etymotic Research’s concert/motorcycle earplugs for a few years now but there are a few others on the market for mild noise reduction. It’s roughly a 10 dB reduction and makes a lot of loud sounds more tolerable (includi

I’m not familiar with these authors. Could you elaborate more for the folks who aren’t as deep in this space?

Sorbet[1] is currently the most robust tooling available. It has a few rough edges and limitations but it otherwise works great for 90% of use cases. [1]: https://sorbet.org

I did the same and learned a ton about their runtime! In my case, I did similar and also had a go (pun intended) at shipping a single-binary Docker image (using the scratch base image). Best of luck!

The best solution I've found for local testing is the Lambda Runtime Interface Emulator (RIE)[1]. It's basically a little Go wrapper[2] that runs your handler and makes it callable through an HTTP API. I considered writing a test

I definitely wish this install method had a good guide. Having figured it out myself and installed Sid in the past, it really makes for a nice rolling-release distribution experience when combined with apt-listbugs. It's definitely not

I think it's more up to a person's accepted risk and the nature of their business concept. One thing mentioned in the linked article is the advice that you use an existing entity if you've previously formed one for consulting

Meetups! They're great and everyone is super welcoming. Depending on your city, there should be a few tech events happening. Use that as a launching pad to branch into areas outside of your craft. In September, I challenged myself to a

There's also Buildroot which has a bit of a learning curve (it's still easier than Yocto/Angstrom IMO) but is capable of producing highly customized, tiny embedded Linux images. At this time, there are board configs for prett

That's an interesting take on it. I'm curious what gave you the impression that the example projects were written by anti-OOP developers. I feel like it could go either way. Even as I was reading the article, I was actually thinki

I was surprised to see that this tracking works across both regular and private browsing in Firefox (67.0.4 on macOS). I can see the number of visits increment and whatever message I've saved on either side is displayed to both.
