Shameless plug - I’ve made an app for Apple platforma, that gives easier access to masked mail (from menu bar on macOS) https://apps.apple.com/us/app/secret-inbox/id6462335670

there is another differences between Apple monitors vs the rest. - standard and peak brightness[1]. All of them are less bright, than Apple's monitors. I'd really wanna know why. MSI - 1400 nits, LG - 1250 nits, Apple - 2000 nits.

would you mind sharing your library of HIGs?

my exact experience, and AI is especially fragile when you are starting new project from scratch. Right know I'm building NNTP client for macOS (with AppKit), because why not, and initially I had to very carefully plan and prompt what

Also I'd add this question, why do so many developers and sysadmins think, that cloud companies always hire competent/non-lazy/non-pissed employees?

After every time I read "save effort with Electron", I go back to Win2K VM and poke around things and realize how faster everything is than M4 Max, just because value is value, and Electron saves some effort.

I do have an Apple ID, which was banned due to fraud and customer support couldn’t do anything about. The thing is, that account was just used for dev. things for the US company, which builds/sells software for the US federal governmen

wouldn't it be faster/safer to upgrade to latest django/python rather than rewrite it in React/Go?

given the current state of things, I'd take that slow boot over anything else ;)

Just got back from another flight, where my seat was in the middle of airplane (3 set of rows). No issues whatsoever. One thing I’ve noticed, if I press AirPods harder, I do start hearing hissing in my ears.

The CPM difference in US vs. rest of the world is huge. If Albania has cpm near zero, it's not worth to show ads there.

I did sit on both sides (one flight was next to wing) - did had same issue both times. One thing that was common- I was sitting in a window seat.

If I ask something in Lithuanian, EuroLLM will reply in Latvian lol. I have to specifically tell something like this: “do you known Lithuanian language”, then it starts replying in Lithuanian

Lithuanian and Latvian are Baltic languages. Nothing to do with Slavic...

I've yet to understand the point of OLED, if it sits at 400nits. All Apple's devices from iPhone to Studio Display are brighter, some of them are much much brighter even with OLED :/

it always depended on the hardware (being stable, security is another matter). I've got friends who ran Windows ME and it was rock solid. My experience was very very different, same with Windows 98 SE. With that being said my PC with W

Same! I did notice, a couples of months ago, that same prompt in the morning failed and then, later that day, when starting from scratch with identical prompts, the results were much better.

I do have Windows 2000 installed with IIS (and some office stuff) in a ESXi for fun and nostalgia. It serves some static html pages within my local network. The host machine is some kind of i7 machine that is about 7-10 years old. That mach

Same thing happened to my wife, while driving at about 110km/h…luckily no one was behind her.

Laziness mostly - no need to think about design, icons and layout (responsiveness and all that stuff). These are not hard problems obviously, but getting to 80%-90% is faster than doing it by hand and in my cases that was more than enough.

Absolutely. All models ar terrible with Objective-C and Swift, compared to let's say JS/HTML/Python. However, I've realized that Claude Code is extremely useful for generating somewhat simple landing pages for some of my

I do have this[1] one (product code: 43888 not 43889). Ripped a bunch of CDs perfectly. AFAIK, 43888 is preferred by makemkv forums as it's internal drive can be flashed to support ripping blu-rays as well. [1] https://www.v

No idea, but Tello always worked outside of the U.S - Lithuania in my case. I guess, provider will always consider your country where the phone number is located. Funny thing, while I'm roaming, my IP address will always be Lithuanian.
