Yes, like every homesteader, Berry is a bit of a LARPer. Even his sparse lifestyle relies on a lot of products and services developed in technological society. He's still a good read though.

It might just be me, but this interface is the first time I felt the desire to interact with long-running agents even though I use chat interfaces all day long. Maybe it was the demo video on the landing page which was compelling with its e

I'll play slight devil's advocate. The buttons in the toolbar are duplicative of the options in the menubar, and I don't want to learn 2 locations for every feature. You can't turn off the menubar items, so I end up turn

I wish I had the courage to run my own CI server. But yes, I think your approach is the best for serious teams that can manage more infrastructure.

I'm scared by all these references to nix in the replies here. Sounds like I'm going to have learn nix. Sounds hard.

I've standardized on getting github actions to create/pull a docker image and run build/test inside that. So if something goes wrong I have a decent live debug environment that's very similar to what github actions is ru

Masterclass in turning a goodbye email into a hire me after my next gig ends. I’m not being sarcastic, this is a great example of highlighting the value they added.

I wonder how hard it is to remove that SynthID watermark... Looks like: "When tested on images marked with Google’s SynthID, the technique used in the example images above, Kassis says that UnMarker successfully removed 79 percent of w

I can live with the different visual style but iOS 26 has cost about 30% of my battery even running all day on low power mode on an iPhone 14. It’s horrendous. Hard to even get through one day on a charge now.

Yeah I’ve never understood this for lithium ion systems. Maybe some parallel or series the cells differently to get different total max power outputs? But I don’t expect that would affect cost either way. With flow batteries there are defin

Might be worth trying again with Gemini 2.5. The reasoning models like that one are much better at health questions.

Interesting. What LLM model? 4o, o3, 3.5? I had horrible performance with earlier models, but o3 has helped me with health stuff (hearing issues).

This is an awesome, and as a bonus I learned about a mature reactive notebook for python. Great stuff. The data sharing is awesome. I previously used Google Colab to share runnable code with non-dev coworkers, but their file support require

Looks like it's not supported in RustDesk or Parsec, but there are other tools that will do it [1]. [1] https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/discussions/6014

Now that there is great GPU-accelerated remote desktop options, I mostly just remote into more powerful machines. Even a country away the on-screen performance is almost like sitting at the machine, and as a bonus I don't hear every fa

It's been fascinating to watch the open source community build out vector map tile capabilities. I was doing some web GIS work back in roughly 2018, and Google/Apple's streaming vector maps performed like magic and something

It does a 3d scan of the face, so you can't crack it with an image or video.

Please god, let uv be the final tweak of the python requirements best practices. I can't handle another easy_install -> requirements.txt/pip -> pyproject.toml. It will break me.

I spent a lot of time investigating all the editors on this list because I want a rich text editor that works with single files and is as clean powerful as VS Code (or sublime, emacs, whatever you prefer). Didn't end up using any of th

You know that book "JavaScript: The Good Parts"? There needs to be a similar one "AWS: just the good parts". It would probably talk about EC2 (VPS), S3 (cheap bulk storage), SES (emails), and that's about it. When f

Beautiful analysis! Great to see the hard stats on the technology breakdowns on the hiring threads with a clever LLM approach. And the write up was super clear.

So, this might all be quackery, but there are some people out there that think high saturated fat diets are the healthiest, which would line up with eating a lot of cheese. E.g. this subreddit is excited about it: https://www.red

"almost made the internet slower"... uh, pretty sure it's been making things slower since inception when it replaced html + a few ajax requests. I know, I know, I'm old. Get off my lawn.
