gganley··on Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft
I'll take a crack at it. I liked using Cursor and it was my first introduction but my main editor is Emacs and I like Emacs, it has a bunch of configuration that has built up like barnacles on the bottom of a ship so it was kind of hard using VS Code. I use a project package (projectile) that allows me to quickly move between different projects (git repos, TRAMP sessions, anything really) and I can open a CC terminal there that I can have pop in and out as I need it. Really it's pretty similar to how I used Cursor.
gganley··on My iPhone 8 Refuses to Die: Now It's a Solar-Powered Vision OCR Server
Even in death, it still serves.
gganley··on Linux man-pages project maintenance
Instead of being a prick like the other responder I'm going to give you a half informed understanding. Basically nothing. Lots of projects that are used on a daily basis in production have no maintainers. There is a web UI showing the number of Debian packages with no active maintainer.
gganley··on I can't recommend serious use of an all-in-one local Grafana Loki setup
Not that I don't believe that's entirely possible, but do you have a link to something demonstrating this behavior? A _very_ cursory google search didn't come up with anything immediately.

Like this article might just be for show but its the first thing that came up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/developers/contribut...

gganley··on Building an Internet Scale Meme Search Engine
That was my question as well. I'm wondering how much of a performance benefit the neural engine has on M series chips when compared to intel chips.

Love Marshall's stuff! I also suggest their Magic: The Gathering podcast [Limited Resources](https://lrcast.com) for those int TCGs.

Could I interest you in a Rotring 600? Keep in mind I haven't used either of those you listed.

gganley··on Facebook apologizes to users for Apple’s monstrous efforts to protect privacy
Exactly, although I would never hit yes I think it is important to give customers the opportunity to make their own, educated choice.
gganley··on Rust Is Surprisingly Good as a Server Language
In this case Swift is being used on the server, so that could be an officially supported platform[0] which if I recall correctly is macOS, Ubuntu, CentOS, Amazon Linux 2, and Windows as of Swift 5.3.
gganley··on Firefox 78
So I'm on macOS using Safari for web browsing, chrome for work (web app + backend). I'm on the younger side so chrome has been omnipresent. I do not mean to understate the importance of privacy in the modern web, so don't misunderstand my question. Why would someone, as a developer and a user, want to use Firefox over Safari (mostly) and Chrome (for work).
gganley··on Microsoft calls for a closer look at app stores
The second option, keep in mind speaking from reading and not from experience
gganley··on Debian Handbook for Debian 10 Buster
Wait I see how Arch Linux is the first recommendation, what's the second exactly?
