I feel like we are seeing agentic coding tools morph into walled gardens with these acquisitions. Anthropic has restricted claude code usage while OpenAI has sort of let Codex fill the void. I am curious to see how this continues to evolv

As a father of three, ages 4, 5.88, and 9 I can concur that the sleep deprivation doesn't improve much. Especially if they are neurodivergent.

I watched Alien: Earth recently and was admiring the TUIs everywhere. The show takes place in 2120 and they kept up the aesthetics of the original movies. A future full of synthetic humanoids and interstellar ships kept the TUI. I do not

I poked around at the code and I like some of the concepts here. Introducing jinjapy as a jinja template with frontmatter allowing me to write python code is useful in some scenarios. I got most excited about sqlorm ( https://gith

As an autistic person with 3 kids with ASD, I get triggered by this bullshit nearly daily. I sincerely hope that whatever "reveal" they have planned does not further harm our ability to access the early interventions that my kids

I was using Windsurf in Pycharm, until I switched to Claude Code / Gemini CLI last week. I am also finding that Copilot with Sonnet 4 is pretty on par to Windsurf.

I like to think of my interactions with an LLM like I'm explaining a request to a junior engineer or non engineering person. You have to be more verbose to someone who has zero context in order for them to execute a task correctly. The

Yes, I am being very flippant. Sometimes we need to jest in order to digest reality.

Life is imitating too many dystopian books, movies, etc these days. I think we need to put an end to all creative works before the timeline becomes irrecoverably destroyed.

Very shameful IMHO. The only relevance is the PDF format.

I'd settle for a device that just normalized the volume levels, but this would be even better!

So you mean a customer? Why do you want them to own it? Just open source it if you want to share without building a business.

I was surprised to read they don't expect atmospheric burnup and are targeting a splash down in the Indian Ocean. I really hope someone didn't mess up some mundane detail in their calculations.

What gave you that impression? I always consulted my financials when making decisions. Unfortunately the books were wrong and I made incorrect choices from that bad data.

Bench was a terrible service in my experience. I used it for one of my startups a few years ago. I personally invested a lot into said start-up. I checked my books and everything seemed ok. Eventually I found that they had hidden my Gusto

I was looking for something like this a few weeks ago. I typically use Django and hate the template engines limitations. I needed to make some reusable components and the best option available was switching to jinja to get their macro supp

I just did this with my kids various school calendars all of which are locked up in gross PDF files. Claude only made one tiny mistake which it was able to correct when I asked it why it made the mistake. It actually pointed out the confu

Sounds like it's more of a problem caused by Crowdstrike. I'm sure azure fell over when millions of servers all freaked out simultaneously.

This is boring news. I was really looking forward to another episode of Boardroom Shakeup. It's interesting that Microsoft and Apple have made such deep integrations and are forgoing any direct control or influence. I am sure there a

For $9/mo you are really expecting a library to integrate this in your other applications? I think you forgot a few numbers on that value.

I started playing with a pirated copy of VB3 on my computer and asked my parents for a programming book for my upcoming 12th birthday. My Dad got me a copy of Learn VB4 in 21 days on Oct 26th 1997. I was extremely excited until I saw the

I'm not surprised, we've been extending Musk's delivery dates for years. That said, I have a 2020 mX with FSD on v11.3. I use FSD almost every time I drive and am very familiar with its abrupt failure modes and capabilities.

Yuzu ran a private discord that was allegedly full of piracy activity. They didn't moderate it. Writing an emulator isn't illegal, nor would gate keeping features. Allowing piracy to happen in your paid for channel might make y

I was really hoping this was some sort of green Martian Rover system. SpaceX made satellite communications so ubiquitous and boring it's even used in farming. They tend to have this effect on their products. Reusable rockets are so o
