Scribbd··on The Conceptual Reasoning Index
And surprise! We are leading!
Scribbd··on SQLite Is a Library of Congress Recommended Storage Format
I recently watched a YT video about this subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSVgeMoXJTs

In summary, companies use the bus-metric to see how viable a project is. Bus, as in, how many people can be hit by a bus before there is no one left to maintain the project.

Despite its ubiquity, SQLite is maintained by only 3 people. That bus-metric for SQLite is 3, which is way too low for some companies.

Give the link a watch; it was really interesting.

Scribbd··on Welcome to Hell Developer
> As for my original sync problem? After all of that – decompiling an APK, reverse engineering a binary protocol, writing a BLE exploit script – it turned out the issue was on my phone the whole time. Not the cycling computer. The phone.

I can feel the pain.

Scribbd··on If you have a Claude account, they're going to train on your data moving forward
I know this is probably not related, but this is right after the release of the AI safety index that praised Anthropic for not using user data… And here I was considering them because they did so much better on that test.

Scribbd··on S3 as a Git remote and LFS server
This is something I was trying to implement myself. I am surprised it can be done with just an s3 bucket. I was messing with API Gateways, Lambda functions and DynamoDB tables to support the s3 bucket. It didn't occur to me to implement it client side. I might have stuck a bit too much to the lfs test server implementation. https://github.com/git-lfs/lfs-test-server

Thank you very kindly.
Scribbd··on Launch HN: Haystack (YC S24) – Visualize and edit code on an infinite canvas
I often use `code` command in the cli for a bunch of tasks. Mostly to just open an instance of vscode in a dir I am at. Is there a plan for such a command like that for haystack-ide?

Meanwhile, an alias is easily created for macOS: `alias needle="/Applications/Haystack\ Editor.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron"`

It is built into macOS now, if you start using your camera, you can click the camera-icon in the top bar for more spectacular options. Link to the support page: https://support.apple.com/en-us/105117
Scribbd··on Don't upgrade to macOS Sonoma 14.4 yet: plug-in compatibility issues
Has macOS been this bad in updating, or is this something of recent times?

14.2 was also a disaster for me.
