There's a famous example of this in Malcolm in the Middle where the camera cuts to a different shot and a stand-in for Dewey is visible in the 16:9 release, but was not visible in the original 4:3 broadcast. So in one shot you have Dew

Unfortunately for people SELECTing UUIDs out of a DB directly into a uuid struct, the built-in uuid structs don't implement the necessary interface for that, so you'll have to continue using the google package, or a plain string.

What I really want is a trade-in system that pays out closer to what I'd get selling my Macbook on Craigslist or something. I want to stay within Apple's ecosystem and upgrade regularly, but I'd end up having to shell out nea

Yep, instantly lost all interest. I'm not sure how impressive it is that somebody vibecoded a browser-based chat app over the course of several months. I also don't know what difference it makes that the dev is a really cool guy,

Any idea how that works? Something with the microphone maybe?

I've seen physical billboards in the Portland, OR area for OpenAI, so I guess that accounts for at least part of it. Not really sure what kind of return they're getting on those but apparently they can just do whatever they want,

Anecdotally, 2012 is when I got back in to reading for pleasure, as a 16-year-old. I had no friends though, and thought someone cute might see me reading and become interested in me. Prior to that, I stopped reading because video games we

I, very genuinely, highly recommend reading the Wikipedia page about the Luddites if you feel confused. This is a class consciousness problem. People feel conflicted because they know they aren't acting in their own best interests when

I get that they're pushing AI really hard, but the article bearing so many of the hallmarks of being AI-generated almost feels crass, like there are no humans at the company who feel strongly enough about this device to author 5-6 enth

I evangelized localstack at my company a while back, but as we integrated it deeper into our CI test runs we started running into more and more things they don't support, and it feels impossible to get any attention from their support&

Not the person you replied to, but I immediately switched back to iTerm2 after finding that Ghostty broke SSH to nearly all my servers by having an odd custom terminfo thing or something. iTerm2 requires no extra configuration after install

Yes! I love to code. I love the entire process end-to-end. I love doing all the things people say they prefer to hand off to LLMs. Makes me sad to see all the people allowing corporations to slowly rob them of all the little joys this field

At that point, why not just pirate and cut out the used disk middleman since the original creators aren't seeing any money from the purchase at that point anyway?

Seconded. My experience has been that -- even while still complying with lots of overhead (e.g. government regulations and compliance) -- smaller teams of 1-3 devs move waaaaay faster than teams of 4-10. Could definitely speak to the overal

If you use OpenTelemetry, it basically does exactly that and you can send traces to some self-hosted FOSS visualizer, like Jaeger. You can also easily get the UUID of the spans/traces and have your logger automatically put them in ever

No heart attacks or strokes? I'm in the same boat (hereditary issue), and altering my diet has never had any substantial effect on my numbers. I'm not overweight and rarely eat red meat, but have had trouble keeping onto a primary

Devil's advocate: it seems similar to reassigning a lease if you want out before it ends. Lease reassignment is a common clause in rental agreements, it sounds like Apple simply allows you to reassign your indefinite device rental, unl

As someone who does a lot of Go, glancing over Factor's syntax in your links makes my eyes glaze over. I'm sure it's perfectly understandable if you take the time to learn it, but languages like Go and Python have the benefit

It's incorrect. The copyright holder of any work is obviously well within their rights to yank it from shelves (physical or otherwise). That doesn't make piracy legal.
