How much memory does this use of the test machine's (M3 Max) 128 GB unified memory?

altanoon Apple wants to train AI on your private personal data

Opt-in = explicit and opt-out = implicit. You can't have implicit opt-in, that wouldn't make any sense.

altanoon Jellyfin 12.0

Yeaaahhhhhh, you’re totally right

altanoon Jellyfin 12.0

https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/5415

A lot of Jellyfin's API doesn't require any authentication at all, as an example.

altanoon Jellyfin 12.0

You can either require mesh vpn or make it easy for friends to access your library. You can't have both.

altanoon Jellyfin 12.0

I hate people who are demanding of open source projects but... doing performance improvements and adding comic book support before making the product secure enough to expose to the internet is wild prioritization and I don't know what else to say.

Or release native clients that can use OIDC.

Doing neither sucks =[.

altanoon Ioskeley Mono

What is the point of this? Either buy Berkeley Mono or go use something else.

altanoon Claude Code plugin that plays a Mr. Meeseeks voice line whene Claude is waiting

I don't understand the configuration. How do you turn off the feedback/prompt sound?

altanoon The disappearance of Japan's animators

Ending sequence?

Arco was an entirely hand-drawn movie w/ a 93% Rotten Tomato score released this year. Couldn't even break even. I liked it a lot.

Seems bleak to me.

altanoon Apple raises prices of MacBooks, iPads

I bought exactly that, in 14", last April. Before tax, it was $5,853 and is now $7,849

visualjj, it’s fantastic

altanoon GitHub Stacked PRs

The `gh stack` CLI sounds essential for people using git, but I hope it doesn't become required, as people using things like jj/sl should be able to work with stacks. `gs submit`/`gs push` being the interface is fine, but `gs init` and `gs add` should be optional.

altanoon GitHub Stacked PRs

This _is_ a solution to slow reviews. Smaller reviews are faster to get in. And many small reviews take less time to review than one large review.

Plus there's no review that's instant. Being able to continue working is always better.

altanoon My Homelab Setup

It's better than having to hear them complain every time plex goes down

altanoon My Homelab Setup

In the 1Password entry go to the "website" item. To right right there's an "autofill behavior" button. Change it to "Only fill on this exact host" and it will no longer show up unless the full host matches exactly

Moonlight on the Apple TV works great.

They added auto-playing, full screen video ads to the home screen. I threw mine in the garbage.

Pride and love, lol…

altanoon Show HN: Flox 1.0 – Open-source dev env as code with Nix

I think Devbox's killer feature is trivially searching for and installing packages by version: https://www.jetpack.io/blog/how-nixhub-searches-nixpkgs/

altanoon Live Map of Swiss Trains

There's no need for anecdotes as the data is published. Only ~1% of connections are missed: https://reporting.sbb.ch/punctuality?=&years=1,4,5,6,7&scrol...

~93% of trains are punctual with a VERY strict definition for punctual: within 3 minutes of the scheduled time.

If you experienced worse, you were in an unlucky minority of people.

altanoon Building ColdFusion for the Web

CFML was the easiest way to get into dynamic, server-side rendered pages back in the day. It was insanely productive and easy for a person cutting their teeth on programming as it was such a small leap from HTML.

I don't know of anything that still ticks those boxes but if you're just looking for (1) easy-ish, (2) interspersing HTML tags and code, and (3) server-side rendered simplicity, then PHP is still a very viable successor.

altanoon Debugging tricks in the browser

Oh! I understand the question now.

You can put any expression into a conditional breakpoint, so anything you can do in the console you can do in a conditional breakpoint.

So, if you're doing this sort of thing once, you can just type it into the console and you're golden. But if you want to modify a stack local variable over and over again every time it is initialized, it's much easier to do in a conditional breakpoint because then it will happen every time that line of code runs, and your debugger never has to pause.

Your comment made me want to scratch this long-standing itch and write-up why you should disable source maps. Check this out:

https://alan.norbauer.com/articles/disable-source-maps

altanoon Debugging tricks in the browser

Disable source maps in the debugger. They are likely the source of your frustration and frankly I still do not understand why they are on by default given how bad the experience is of actively debugging with them on.

altanoon Debugging tricks in the browser

That’s not under the conditional breakpoint heading. You would just override the value to be a getter in the console, or you could even change it in your source code if you have write access.

I'm the author of the article and my advice is that you stop reading it and go learn about Replay.io instead. It's the most slept on web tech and will up your debugging game immensely. Seriously, go check it out.

altanoon Interesting Bugs Caught by ESLint's no-constant-binary-expression (2022)

You can't have 100% test coverage with these kinds of bugs, because these bugs create unreachable expressions.

You can either find out you have these bugs from lint errors or you can find out by finding them in code coverage reports while chasing 100% code coverage. Most people would obviously prefer the former.
