This is spot on. I am extremely uncomfortable with the large number of transitive dependencies that end up in pretty much any non-trivial rust application. No amount of memory safety will save us if a tiny, ubiquitous library that nobody sc

Or you could just install something like Tailscale and never have to think about it again.

I’ve been really impressed with GPUI, particularly with Longbridge’s open source component library which provides a bunch of shadcdn-alike widgets that are really well implemented and come with a bunch of tailwind-like helper functions that

I bought one of these last year, specifically looking for a modern take on the netbook form factor. I run PopOS on mine and absolutely love the machine. It’s a perfect travel laptop and it has largely replaced the iPad mini that I previousl

I've wanted to see a good, production-quality open source take on this editing paradigm for a long time and your implementation appears to get a lot of things right. I took a crack at this myself a few years ago but never got around to

Anthropic uses Stainless Docs for the API reference. It’s a custom integration that embeds the Stainless Docs react components directly in the Claude dashboard application. (I worked on the Stainless Docs product at Stainless and implemente

It's bad enough that Microsoft doesn't have a satisfying answer to this question, but what makes it worse is that WinUI feels weirdly non-native in ways that sort of uncomfortably result in Electron apps feeling more like real Win

This was my most-wanted Obsidian feature, so I’m thrilled to see this. It’s going to be great for server-side automation and RAG against Obsidian vaults.

What? The window manger and the panel (plasmashell) are separate processes in a Plasma desktop. In Sway, users typically choose from a range of totally separate applications like swaybar or quickshell for the panel. There’s absolutely no re

I've attempted to switch to Orion on iOS a few times in the past and could never quite stick with it due to reliability issues. I'm giving it another try now to see if this 1.0 release gets it over that hurdle. Vivaldi is still a

I switched to Fastmail when I degoogled, and I've been very happy with it. I genuinely feel that its UX and feature set are better than what I was getting from GMail.

Yes, there is a mod for Hollow Knight called Benchwarp that lets you place benches wherever you want and fast travel between them.

Strudel is fun. If you're interested in getting Strudel-like sequencing inside of a DAW, check out the latest version of Renoise, which added a Lua-based phrase scripting environment with support for Tidal Cycles notation. They also ad

Yes, it relies on a Markdown note file for each row and the “columns” are YAML frontmatter and cached metadata for each file. I am with you on this, I wish Obsidian would optionally allow you to use YAML or some other structured data direct

Apple’s development stack and a large portion of their third-party developer base already had fairly mature ARM support for iOS. It made for a much smoother transition. Microsoft’s lack of meaningful mobile footprint meant that they started

Microsoft not being terrible was a zero interest rate phenomenon. The news today is a lot worse than just Github not being independent anymore. It sounds like literally the entire development division is being rolled into this "Core AI

I ended up on Readwise Reader after trying a few different options. It unapologetically caters to power users and is clearly built by people who actually use and care about the product, so I'm finding it to be a pretty solid improvemen

Custom GPTs don’t support a bunch of newer ChatGPT features like chat history and projects and they can’t be edited from mobile. There is no real advantage to using a custom GPT over adding a custom prompt to a project at this point, given

Instead of adopting JSX, I would really like the syntax for this to be more like the way Kotlin uses receivers and builders to provide a generalized syntax for DSLs that happens to be good for describing component hierarchies. It would be b

My frustration with using these models for programming in the past has largely been around their tendency to hallucinate APIs that simply don't exist. The Gemini 2.5 models, both pro and flash, seem significantly less susceptible to th

They really need to release some kind of test that users can run to see if their cpu has degraded. They really need to step up if they want enthusiasts and creative professionals to trust their products ever again.

I don't find this persuasive at all. Mozilla wants to frame itself as the browser vendor that cares about privacy, but there are now popular independent browsers like Vivaldi and Orion that go much further than Firefox to protect user
