jayde2767··on When did Google get so weird?
Lied vs got it incorrect? There's always the disclaimer that AI can be wrong...
jayde2767··on Show HN: Capsule – Single-file web apps that save their data into SQLite
Was Capsule written in Capsule?
jayde2767··on .name Termination
That's the crazy part - they can take your money, prorated to some future-period but, upon cancellation, the remaining future period of YOUR money becomes THEIR immediate revenue recognition. Is it fraud or theft? To me, it has to be one or the other...
jayde2767··on Apple reveals 'shocking evidence' from ex-employee's MacBook in OpenAI suit
Has anyone seen Pandora? I want to have a look inside that box she's been carrying around...it's time we start suing the pants off this "generative" stuff...
jayde2767··on Dyson CameraJet electric toothbrush
A purchasing decision for households: buy a $500 vacuum or a $500 toothbrush. Dyson competing with itself for limited consumer discretionary income on luxury purchases.
jayde2767··on Windows native app development is a mess
"Left behind", the most common phrase used when describing Windows Native programming...at least anecdotally.
jayde2767··on Entities enabling scientific fraud at scale (2025)
I wish you had highlighted or bolded "cartel", which is exactly how those industry players act.
jayde2767··on MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max
That measurement will be AI assembling MacBook pros vs human assemblers: number of units per hour, day, or whatever unit is most applicable.
jayde2767··on Dear Time Lords: Freeze Computers in 1993
PTSD and my pining for OS/2 spikes once again...OMG...
jayde2767··on France's homegrown open source online office suite
Nice to see the "true spirit" of OpenSource being practiced and growing in Europe...I hope other countries jump into this as well, with support and resources.
jayde2767··on People who know the formula for WD-40
Please tell me, it has Brando in it, right?!?!?
jayde2767··on Start your meetings at 5 minutes past
I for one, support this...and reduce the Agenda to NO bullet points.
jayde2767··on GNU Unifont
I was also confused, until I clicked “Home” and realized the link was not to the landing page.
jayde2767··on No more O'Reilly subscriptions for me
Weird, I have honestly never walked into a Barnes and Noble and had satisfaction with any of their technical content on the shelf. That pleasure died when we lost Borders.

*Edit: spell correct kills me!

jayde2767··on Norway reviews cybersecurity after remote-access feature found in Chinese buses
Did anyone investigate this person to see if she’s being bought by any “Foreign” Gov’t?
jayde2767··on Aerocart cargo gliders
I imagine these would have to be flown out of specialized cargo airports. It would be a disaster coming out of Commercial airports.
jayde2767··on Aerocart cargo gliders
Not to mention, what happens in the event of damage to the towed aircraft rendering flight operations impaired such that it affects the towing aircraft?

“Oh sh1t!” at 35K feet.

I doubt the economics make it a viable use case.
jayde2767··on A safe, non-owning C++ pointer class
This just seems intentionally bad to show where Rust would be better. This is yet another example of what I call "corner-case" instruction, which I define as, "I am going to take an obviously terrible corner-case that shows what an awful developer can do that will break a program, then demonstrate my brilliance by introducing my (highly-biased) opinionated point I wanted to make..."

In this particular case, it was subtly, Rust is preferred because it doesn't allow unsafe memory operations such as the one demonstrated. Really, all it demonstrates is that you can create really bad C++.

jayde2767··on Anthropic raises $13B Series F
"cash furnace", so aptly put.
jayde2767··on Org-social is a decentralized social network that runs on Org Mode
In the end, Streaming Services have proven to be nothing more than advertising platforms scattered with brief moments of content. The ads outweigh the content making it less cost effective than going back to Cable, which is still terrible also. Hence the need to pirate and control what content you see.
jayde2767··on Robots move Shanghai city block [video]
It is still a very impressive feat of engineering.
jayde2767··on I write type-safe generic data structures in C
This is all well and good but, for my mileage, nothing can ever beat C++ generics and the RAII pattern when there is a choice between plain old C and C++ . One second while I get my fire-retardant suit on...
jayde2767··on OpenFLOW – Quickly make beautiful infrastructure diagrams local to your machine
Pretty cool app, OP. Thanks for sharing the details.
jayde2767··on Google open-sources the Pebble OS
Maybe...the cynic in me says that someone feels this needs to be preserved because it will become another Google relic in favor of something newer, or more shiny. Or likely something written in Go...just a guess on my part...
jayde2767··on U.S. math scores drop on major international test
With educational quality being less of a Political priority in this country, and the need to "teach to a standardized test" being more desired, surely these results should surprise no one, correct?
jayde2767··on How Postgres stores data on disk – this one's a page turner
Just curious if anyone else encountered this same error from the initial "docker run" command:

docker: Error response from daemon: create ./pg-data: "./pg-data" includes invalid characters for a local volume name, only "[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]" are allowed. If you intended to pass a host directory, use absolute path.

jayde2767··on Sig Sauer guns hanging on soldiers' hips may be firing without trigger pull
Any chance there are misfires due to changing the main spring? I have found Sig's can be set up with ultra sensitive (and light) triggers if you change the springs out.
jayde2767··on Zed on Linux Is Here
"Opinionated" is more appropriate. Ignorance often accompanies arrogance. Opinion, to me, at least contains a degree of knowledge.
jayde2767··on I run a software book club
Hi,

Just curious what the frequency of meetings you found to be most effective, weekly, bi-weekly etc?

Thanks
