As a daily user of bitbucket, gitlab, and github, it's refreshing to see how insanely, extremely snappy this web ui is. I hope all the best to succeed with this project, I'm sold!

I'm a bit opponent of Apple's walled garden, but the build quality of this laptop is quite far away from a MacBook... Except the display, this OLED WXHQwhatever is stunning. Source: I bought the same (with core i7, so it's pe

Except... a million reasons where they will either not understand, or they should have not become a parent. The problem with the "The Most Infuriating Answer" is that it entirely neglects facts, and only those say it who do have a

Then you must be sad that the "AI slop" is a user friendly, working toy whereas the OSM data one is just a miserable static database-render. Go and compare them. I love getting lost in data, and I was happy to see all the overload

I my mind it's mostly corporate socio-political. Your management have no idea what a (rest) API is, but they saw MCP in countless LinkedIn slop and therefore you are allowed to work on one / use an upstream solution to connect the

Not sure, haven't tried it today. Last night it single handedly implemented a feature after a grilling session, and came back with the red-yellow-green risk assessment points that I mostly saw with anthropic models. I had to check if I

Recommendation? No. Just go with the passive-aggressive advice "let pi build it for you". :-) To be more constructive, what I did (as an experiencd SWE but a complete noob to agentic coding): went to pi.dev's extension market

Essentially I'm running everything on flash now inside pi. With the correct set of MCP servers, context reducer tooling and skills it can implement any task I throw at it. Some sessions take 30+ turns, but it's fast and cheap; all

I got to the same conclusion. Installation was also painful; understandable, these platforms are clumsy. The software itself is magic, kudos to all the developers and community.

I can highly recommend OpenCode Go. I use it from pi.dev as well through the OpenCode Go $10 subscription ($5 first month). Used more than 20M tokens at a cost of ~$20 (up to $60 is included in the $5 plan) Out of which deepseek pro had ~20

After 18y of thinkpads, this year I bouth a Lenovo yoga for... Cheap (1000€). 32G RAM, nvme 1TB, core ultra 258V. Looking at the prices now... Wow, was I lucky. Tried some of the 7b models locally, more than usable, around 30token/sec,

https://github.com/CyberShadow/aconfmgr Aconfmgr is a good solution (practical trade-off for me). When it feel like "my OS must be dirty at this point", then I spend a couple minutes with this and I'm ba

I visited the local waste processing plant to learn about the basics in general and have some insights on what could I do for better recycling. Clothing is the worst offender here. Impossible to recycle. The quality would not be good enough

This resonates with me a lot. I do some stuff with gemini flash and Aider, but mostly because I want to avoid locking myself into a walled garden of models, UIs and company

Do you know how it compares to LibreTube[1]? For the SponsorBlock integration; it works well for me, but I kinda miss the newpipe interface. [1]: https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube

I used both my thinkpads for 8+ years, generating $$$ for me. Build quality matters a lot when it comes to longevity, thinkpads were great at it decades ago. I would expect the same from MacBooks nowadays (I also had an M1 Pro Max from a fo

Funnily, this is how I work, exactly. I want to believe that by getting back on track from nothing to where I left off already helps a lot to understand the problem at hand, and maybe realizing issues that before prevented me of finishing t

Haven't used this app for ages, but yesterday I fine-tuned the HDR settings for my newly bought laptop under KDE/plasma, definitely on Linux. That readme might be outdated (or the tool doesn't work on KDE at all)

This was an interesting read for me. I'm mostly aware of the _problem_, however, never wondered how that could be fixed with other designs, I guess he is working on something that implements one of his proposals (river/window&#x2F

Hah, I guess this is the same then as in formula 1 (and possibly other motorsports). After the end of a straight (speeding) section, just before the curve they have 150/100/50 (m?) distance indicators. Sans the concrete block at t

I had to do something similar. Ruby is awful and very immature compared to python, so I "outsourced" the machine learning / LLM interaction to python. The rails service talks to it through grpc / protobuf and it works wo
