I also have an abused Vornado and it's holding up just fine. Fans are a weird product though, I know most people would just throw them out as soon as they gunk up and stop spinning, but maintenance/repair is really simple compared

Agree, but there's also the psychological impact of having spent over 200 smackers on this thing and then letting it go unused lol

Wouldn't surprise me if the real purpose of this is to get a physical object on your desk that makes you constantly think about Codex -- either babysitting your currently-running agents when it's lit up and running, or subconsciou

> I watch engineers pick up design so the thing looks good and feels good, not just runs. The work pulls you into the parts you used to hand to someone else. We’re all stretching wider than we trained for. Whatever the work needs, we le

I almost never reply to replies on something that I wrote in a public forum, because I stand by what I wrote as a complete statement and don't feel the need to defend it further. In this particular case, because the whole topic is abou

> No philosophical analysis can beat one from a scientific and logical perspective. I disagree, and offer the world of 2026 as anecdotal evidence lol. Most of what you wrote implies that every person participates in arguments honestly, w

Agreed; typically (especially if a client is involved) I’ve seen creative and dev define and articulate spec and expected behavior, and BA documents it. Then, when it inevitably evolves, BA’s job is to capture the changed spec. The artifact

Also a Brother laser user here (HL-L2340D) -- it's single-function, so not gonna do color, scanning, copying, etc, but it's been a beast for workhorse black and white printing. Unsure about other models, but also worth mentioning

Email is still (and IMO always will be) the defacto method of communication for anything professional, regardless of whether it's 1994, 2026 or 2095. I'm not even totally convinced that something else could come along and usurp it

This is super duper cool! I sat there and watched like 10 minutes of a live game and it was just balls, strikes, swing & miss, and foul LOL -- reminded me of that old Simpsons episode where soccer comes to Springfield and nothing happen

Same, Drudge Report was one of the only sites that actually loaded consistently for me that morning. I think BBC may have held up a bit better than US news sites too. I remember the first stories trickling in thought it was like a Cessna or

I'm on a dual-E5 2667-v4 / 256 GB DDR4 Z640 with a 1080ti that I picked up all the various pieces for (aside from SSDs) for less than $500 total in the first half of 2025 (case, PSU, riser board included). I'm still kind of b

I agree with you completely, but I also have never been able to square the idea of how any of that stuff would still exist if we didn't have jobs. Sports (in some aspects) needs facilities, gear, arenas, other people to participate wit

I suspect it was an intentional choice so that artist names like Jay-Z remain properly separated in the URL, especially in cases of multiple-artist billings (ex. https://www.last.fm/music/Nas+&+Jay-Z )

When I pair Claude and Codex, I use claude-co-commands [0] to drive from Claude and talk to Codex via MCP. Lately I've found Codex has been far more consistent for my specific projects, so I've just been almost entirely inside C

I personally loathe meetups, and love them. It just depends on what they are and how they're run. In the mid 90's, CompuServe sponsored a Boy Scouts Explorer Post at their headquarters -- they gave us free accounts and then once a

Anecdata, but of the clips I've seen going around from Woz's speech, there were quite a few comments from people who claimed to have been there for the whole ceremony, most of which said that he was rambling and all over the place

Just be up front about it; these tools are a simple reality at this point. Own the usage, own the output, take responsibility for the totality of what you’ve birthed into the world. If it’s some one-shotted trinket, don’t pretend it isn’t.

Codex is freakin hot-to-trot to churn out test coverage for every single thing it implements, and some of it is very esoteric and highly prescriptive (regexes for days) BUT .. after a while, it dawned on me that LLM-driven test coverage is

Yeah they could add grayscale to the filter rule to make the colors go away. #dither-demo img.dithered { filter: url(#dither) grayscale(1); }

I'm only writing this because Devil's advocate and all, but what if you're actually capable of all those things? Plenty of us here can conceive, design, architect, build, ship and own things from soup to nuts, and feel a lot

PairDrop [0] gets the job done as a "good enough" cross-platform / cross-device AirDrop replacement if you're on the same network. For practical, casual use with non-tech users (likely on cellular or not the same network

Re: LN, I agree 100% with the evidence presented in, and outcome of, that trial; Live Nation absolutely deserves the verdict they received and it's amazing it took this long to get it. I just don't fully buy the idea that they (an

Yes, Live Nation and Ticketmaster literally serve as "the bad guy" in the transaction. The truth is, due to market realities, ticket prices (MSRP, not reseller prices) need to be high so that everybody gets their cut. All those fe

I usually use stars as bookmarks to maybe come back to some repo I thought looked interesting a year later. Terrible metric to invest based on!

I've been using Claude and Codex in tandem ($100 CC, $20 Codex), and have made heavy use of claude-co-commands [0] to make them talk. Outside of the last 1-2 weeks (which we now have confirmation YET AGAIN that Claude shits the fucki

They should be forced to stay at a Holiday Inn Express and meet at a Detroit Denny's to discuss the future of the world. Maybe get some perspective in the process!
