You may be right, and I've had to live some of that myself with docking stations, thunderbolt, and such. But those moments are the exceptions. In my everyday life, when I need to charge _anything_, except maybe for the laptop itself, I

no, I honestly just think it confused itself in the middle of operations. I didn't give the full log for the sake of readability but there's no trick up my sleeve, the story is what it is.

There was a thread recently on HN about Claude Shannon and how his papers were filled with clear descriptions and explanations. Then someone commented how they had found an elegant solution to a problem that either could be described shortl

Similar story on my end. I asked Fable to digest some test logs to help me figure out a situation, but I had launched VSCode without activation the virtual env in the terminal first. Consequently, the tests failed to run. And then: Because

I mean... I, for my own needs, which are rather simple, can replace Dropbox with rsync. That's one thing. But yes, it's an entirely different thing to consider you don't need, or worse, could own, such business, on the simple

That is fascinating how the more knowledge and reasoning we can get our hands on and actually produce, the higher the risk of us, as a species, to become actually much dumber. It's hard to describe the feeling of seeing intelligence be

I wouldn't show it as an alternative to Obsidian though. It shares MD files with it and both are supposedly about note taking ("supposedly" is for Obsidian, I haven't tried Files.md yet), but Files.md seems to have its o

I've discovered typst in the last year and used to build a resume and cover letter template that feeds from a YAML file. After a bit of tinkering and understanding the idiosyncracies of Typst, the joy of having reliable, consistent, be

Minus the AI part, I agree. I'm 100% convinced many fax machines nowadays exist just for bureaucracy and are actually fax-to-pdf.

I tried NixOS and failed miserably. I've pointed at to the Fedora Atomic distros, which are also immutable, and apparently incomparably easier to setup. I'm tempted to give it a shot, with the extra bonus that I've never dabb

I almost systematically use BLUF (Bottom Line Up-front) when I write docs, I think I'll make TABLUF a thing from now on (Target Audience and Bottom Line Upfront) :)

Any kind of documentation has a target audience. Your test is very valuable if and only if the target audience is a total beginner. Of course it's still very hard to write good documentation even if you have identified your target, but

Distillation, when done improperly, can result in very toxic substances. It requires care and craft and since alcohol is not only a drug but a transformed product (like LSD or meth), it is perfectly fine that some state-level supervision ap
