BewareTheYigaon Ti-84 Evo

You will have to pry my TI-89 from my cold dead hands. I wish they still made it

BewareTheYigaon I benchmarked Claude Code's caveman plugin against "be brief."

Caveman made me laugh and that, in theory, should count for something.

BewareTheYigaon Zed is 1.0

Bravo! I've enjoyed using Zed and seeing its progress. Still waiting on python notebook support.

BewareTheYigaon Apple discontinues the Mac Pro

I am incredibly saddened that the inevitable finally happened. The OG 5,1 cheese grater sparked so much joy. I added and expanded so much over the years before I finally donated it to a computer museum and moved on to Apple Silicon. I did everything from scientific computing, ripping movies, serving files, running websites, and everything in between.

BewareTheYigaon Will West Coast Jazz Get Some Respect?

When I think of west coast jazz, I think of Tom Scott and I was surprised to not see him in this article.

BewareTheYigaon Noninvasive imaging could replace finger pricks for measuring blood glucose

For me, the needles suck. The sensors can go bad and can give false readings — so you still need to prick your finger. It’s better than flying blind but I’m hoping for a non invasive option

Will you consider a plugin for Pycharm?

Did I miss the memo where we repealed ∇·B = 0?

BewareTheYigaon The importance of counter-clockwise dance rituals

I'm impressed the author took the time to mention the ring shout. But they lose points for referring to the continent of Africa like it was a country, and missing the opportunity to go a bit deeper on its importance in Western African cultures.

BewareTheYigaon James Baldwin's Apotheosis

Baldwin didn’t play identity politics. He rewrote the rules of identity itself.

BewareTheYigaon U.S. fires statistics chief after soft jobs report

We as a country are so unserious. I just can't anymore.

BewareTheYigaon Show HN: Conductor, a Mac app that lets you run a bunch of Claude Codes at once

I like the concept, but I need the ability to interact with a repo I've already cloned. I can't connect this to my work GitHub enterprise repos.
