It always seems like a missed opportunity that trackballs don't detect when you twist the ball. It would be so natural for spinning a model in CAD or zooming. The easiest approach would probably be to add a second optical sensor and do

This is true, unfortunately. I've have had to walk away from a client because their software-illiterate lawyer didn't want me to build with copyleft dependencies. It wasn't the only red flag in this case, but frustrating none

Rice stands for Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements. Race-inspired to look cool, but not actually functional. Picture putting one of those giant fake air intakes on the hood of your car.

I recently had the following conversation with Claude: Me: how many P's are in the following text? [Pasted text] Claude: There are 14 P's, all lowercase (no capital P's) Me: how many in "strawberry"? Claude: there a

You can also try asking Gemini to create art that is "as close as possible without infringing" - I've had success with that.

The QR code that you use to transfer TOTP secrets to a new phone, is static. It never changes (unless you add a new service) and it requires no verification. Do with that information what you will.

This could also be a legitimate lifesaver in places like India where extreme heat is common but delivery and gig workers have to travel outdoors.

If Jujutsu had become popular a couple of years earlier, it might have had a chance to catch on. I worry that it missed the most critical training window for AI and we may be locked in on Git forever.

your current wallet lets you add labels or stickers to your cards. classic Apple situation - look, this is super clean, intuitive software! but if you want a reasonable level of flexibility that you would expect elsewhere, you are SOL.

In what cases do you need autoscaling on your home stuff?

nice concept! Beads did not age all that well, and Claude doesn't really want to use it since the TodoList upgrade. Do you have any tricks for getting Claude to use guardrails effectively alongside (or instead of) TodoList?

Great, now do storage! People shouldn't have to pay $$$ for a 128GB upgrade when a 1TB microSDXC card is under $200. It feels like a trick to sell cloud storage and new phones.

Any day that I learn something new about color is a good day. Here's my favorite color factoid: There is no such thing as monochromatic pink. You have to make it by combining the two ends of the visible spectrum: somethung reddish and

Happy to contribute to your lawyer fund. I want to see how this plays out.

Lots of folks use the Claude Max 20x $200/mo. tier, I think. Gets you waaay farther than $200 of API credits.

You have a point. They're not similar. OTOH, people do compare them. I think Apple realizes this and the Macbook Neo is a brilliant move. It doesn't cost $1000 to get into the MacBook experience anymore, so drastically more peop

You ask Gemini to make an Elsa and Anna Frozen-themed coloring book page. It says no, that would be copyright infringement. So you ask it to make something as close as possible but without infringing . It happily obliges.

In this case, I'd say only share news where you have some kind of structured regulatory stuff attached to it. Like sure, Trump started a war, that's noteworthy. Follow that up directly with a link out to structured tally of what

How would you handle user switching? Would users have to go through a password screen to use anything?

Love the idea. Thoughts from a UI/UX point of view, on mobile: * Focus on the policy stuff since that's your differentiator. Put it front and center, currently it's below the "trending news". Nobody needs another tr

Nice work. I have two questions. 1. Do you see any downsides to storing your graph as markdown files on filesystem, rather than, say, a graph DB? I have little experience with either but I imagine there would be perf advatages to certain op
