I like that there's a list of primary sources at the bottom. Kagi's AI assistant has been satisfying compared to Claude and ChatGPT, both of which insisted on having a personality no matter what my instructions said. Trying to do

See also their User Stories: https://juicefs.com/en/blog/user-stories I'm not an enterprise-storage guy (just sqlite on a local volume for me so far!) so those really helped de-abstractify what JuiceFS is fo

Great little to-the-point writeup. Thanks! This is helpful for me choosing my own small-scale stack, which I've been having trouble with lately. One major difference is that I'm currently hosting a bunch of very small apps off the

I've switched to a flatpak-based immutable distro lately. It's great when it works. But so many niceties don't work, and then it feels like my computer is not really the fantastic tool it should be. For example: - I had to

I don't know anything about compliers, so this note about reasons and intentions from the presentation link was helpful to me: > YJIT can make Ruby code run faster, but this is a balancing act, because the JIT compiler itself must c

This is really surprising to me. Wouldn't this make it a good deal more expensive to produce most kinds of apparel and some merchandise? Maybe I'm out of date on modern printing and embroidery tech.

Oh wow! It took me a bit to realize this was DHH of Ruby on Rails fame (among other things). I like this message. After a career in Java, bash, Python, PHP, and a half-dozen config-definition languages, I've never found anything that e

Super cool. Thanks for maintaining this. I read manga extensively on my Kobo Forma with koreader. I wrote a script with imagemagick to scale, trim, adjust contrast, map to 16 colors, dither, and repack, all without me having to interact wit

Very cool! You've quite nicely rendered some of Aseprite's attractive window chrome. I draw "pixel art" in Krita with my "Flipnot Brushkit" brushes [1], which I prefer for Homestuck-style low-res painting where

I observe that the letter of the law intends to severely restrict pornographic materials from being made available to minors: see "harmful content" [1] and obscenity [2] definitions for the state of Texas. Realistically however, f

Very, very cool. Rather few of the stereotypical hacker crowd may be ultimately affected by this---unless Mr. Friede injects himself with some trojans and worms as well! (Forgive me)

Very cool. I'm one of the few (it seems) who likes these styles of chart, so that was a nice surprise. I love Ruby, and one of my few qualms about using it is that it doesn't really have any cross-platform GUI libraries. Someday I

"Crown of Ash and Honor," the sample book linked on the "Start Writing" page [1], seems like a counterproductive example. With "novel-length drafts" being the main selling point for the app, this draft seems ac

Do you ever handle the physical book, or is this a fully automated drop-shipping operation?

Great, original article. I didn't notice at first that this blogger is the very same author behind Blue95: https://github.com/winblues/blue95 I used to love theming my desktop environment, but the joy faded when I

The app looks and feels great. Very smooth, I can see you were considerate of the zen experience. It's very easy to misread the name as -isv. Small ux bug: when starting a new chat, the title field gets focus, but if I start typing be

Not only is this a wonderful idea, the skeuomorphic design looks awesome and it works well on mobile. Wow! Note also that the source can be found through the menu button, which leads to https://github.com/evadecker/hype

"The Laundry Files" is one of Charles Stross's (the author of this article) fun series, although it's more a kind of urban (bureaucratic) fantasy than sci-fi. I'm surprised he doesn't touch on AI at all in this

BR confuses me because when I look at blocks of BR-enabled text, I feel less mental strain. Yet the studies and counter-studies (like this article) I've seen only report on comprehension scores. It definitely feels like BR is in scam t

Without the kid branding and the name "Kermit," which piggybacks off of cultural feelings for marketing, this feels more like just another font. I found the body text hard to read and didn't realize at first it was using the

Yeah. I feel there's a kind of eternal serenity to be found in truly apolitical works. For everyone to put their connection to Today aside and share in something timeless---that really feels like genuine connection to others.

I saw this in action when a friend was live-streaming while vibe coding in Javascript. He noted that dozens of unknown npm packages were installed and running unchecked on his computer (without any containerization, no less). Encouraging AI

It was a little difficult to find the original 8-page document the author refers to---it's linked a bit down the "News" page, and is here: https://commission.europa.eu/document/8af13e88-6540-436c-b13...

I'm a big fan of YAML after coming from JSON and, later, ProtoBuf's many definition formats while working at Google---but it's true that there are a lot of oddities in YAML's magical parsing. I'm grateful for the ma

Very interesting! This reminds me of how stumped I was learning about UV unwrapping for texturing. Even simple models are difficult to unwrap into easily editable textures. "Why can't I just draw on the model?" Blender has a

Yes, I felt like this too. I like that it's cute and how it removes the need to inject ports into any "this is my URL" environment variables, but I agree it does sound like "sprawl." Browser bookmarks serve the same
