I have 25 panels highly efficient panels on a small house. "Total overkill", even according to the installer who was happily taking my money. For two months in the summer I was generating 4x to 5x what I needed. To store that surp

Who currently makes a decent haptic trackpad? I have an Asus with gorgeous OLED screen, good battery life etc and fucking GARBAGE trackpad.

It's the hardware. Always the hardware. Best trackpad (ALL other trackpads are trash), best build and screen (since the first aluminium Macbook Pro retina) and right now, best silicon. But I also hate MacOS.

I'll take any file browser over finder. In fact, I hate the whole MacOS UI but I can mostly ignore the problems with Karabiner, Hammerspoon and Rectangle.

Mick thought he could give up his job and live off winnings. No steady state earnings. Just wins and losses. On the bad days he lose, and hope his winnings on other days would see him right. Lose on Monday. Easy: double your bets on Tuesday

This sounds like my friend Mick who developed a gambling habit, but assured me that his method was flawless. If you lose, double your bet next time to cover the loss. If you lose that one, double it again. You can't keep on losing.

I suppose it could turn very bearish in the next few years? Something always occurs to me whenever I think about climate change. I think, "What is prosperity?" and the answers are mainly centered on stability and security. Not &qu

Right now it's about €1650 for that machine (used, on ebay obviously)

What about a light but bulky AI job, like batch processing 50GB of files? I'm currently doing it on my used Macbook M1 Max 64gb, and it's chugging through it for the cost of electricity (free with my solar).

I converted my cheap Billy shelves into what look like fitted shelves. They're all bolted together, screwed to the wall, filled in around the edges with wooden panels, and finished off with 2.5m decorative strips of pine at all the edg

I hated the idea of self hosting keycloak, learning how to terraform every single inch of it. But I worked at a startup that had a fucking weird investor who paid me , and would pay AWS, but wouldn't pay Okta (or any other 3rd party).

I recently implemented CloudFront signed urls for accessing S3, where my app uses KMS keys to sign the url. Sounds simple and obvious but for the entire history of Cloudfront and KMS it was not! It is not documented to work, nor could I fin

Is "top down" a company size thing? Very simple organisms don't need brains or nervous systems. But once they get big and complex, suddenly there's a need for sensors, messages, plumbing networks for transporting signals

How about adding a return packaging cost and have the empty package sent back to the country of origin so that you can drop it into your own recycling bin?

Right, well I'm walking the hounds right now but I think I got something like this https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-4B/blob/main/README.md SO, if that isn't official it explains the results I

Wow. I tried to get Qwen3.8 4B to parse song lyrics and analyse them. Getting ollama running was a minute or two. However coming up with a prompt that didn't turn out total garbage was impossible. After wasting over an hour and I ended

I'm not saying this is the case in the particular example, but these days a lot of people aren't bothering to read a 1 page README, and are instead letting claude "just fucking do it already". I see it at work. Claude ha

Private Email (a Namecheap product) makes me wish I didn't move that account off Gmail. I'll take a look at Fastmail.

I'm doing a small local version of this test to pull moods and themes out of song lyrics. I've found that one prompt, 1 model, 11 runs even gives different results. There's no consistency over multiple runs of the same prompt

What about container specific permissions? If they implemented that it would be enough for me since I tend to split up my services by type (eg: shopping, banking, work, hack) so enabling an extensive on a specific set of containers would ro

If your country suddenly has hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of weather migrants from countries with vastly different cultures and values to yours, you'll be wishing that populism was your biggest concern.

Not every culture encourages the same principles or values as yours. I'd say they possibly would .

I haven't fired up UT99, UT2K4 or any of the Quakes for decades. Are there active servers where you could get a good DM session?

Xonotic has that old school feeling. It's an unfortunately tiny player base, and only a handful of servers with regular players. But if you are within ping of a busy server (like Jeff & Julius resurrection) you do run into the same

As a tea drinker, I wish that cafés, bars and restaurants followed the most basic rule which is: take cold water from the tap, bring it quickly to the boil ONCE and pour it into the tea IMMEDIATELY and then give me the cup before you fuck a

Same. Our engineers have failed to convince absolutely clueless executives that service / code ownership is critical, you can't just allocate 100% of your engineering team to "roaming around the dungheap adding features"

My take, as a non-coder (well, not software engineering, I write 'code' but it's infra, and utilities in go/bash/pythong)... I work at a company where the biggest problems are not 'writing code', they are:
