letmeinhere··on Git rebase -i is not that scary
Just make sure you've committed and/or stashed first, as you don't really want to rely on the stochastic process to retain your local-only critical work product.
letmeinhere··on The infinite scroll may become endangered if controversial Calif. law passes
If you don't have an agent swarm that's already trained to re-scroll all the unscrolled feeds and translate them to binaural beats during your micronaps you're ngmi
letmeinhere··on John Deere owners will get the right to repair equipment under FTC settlement
Design and manufacture open hardware for 25k?
letmeinhere··on Microsoft Office 2019 and 2021 for Mac view-only conversion
When I read "degrades functionality" I thought it was going to be some minor cloud-related feature, but holy shit they're disabling the ability to save files?? That article headline is really underselling it.
letmeinhere··on Wired headphone sales are exploding
I have a splitter but it's pretty niche and probably not the best DAC
letmeinhere··on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month
He sucks too. Not everyone is working backwards from their team sports fandoms.
letmeinhere··on Apt-bundle: brew bundle for apt
aconfmgr[https://github.com/CyberShadow/aconfmgr] is a kinda similar project for pacman-based distributions.

The difference is that it strives to track all non-user files, (not just packages, and especially /etc), but you can adopt it partially.

I'm supposed to entrust my life and others' to this and they're bragging on their home page about GitHub stars?
letmeinhere··on If you're going to vibe code, why not do it in C?
If you want to get to a higher level compiler, prompt fondling will not suffice; you need to master formal specification. Then machine learning algorithms can do the program synthesis to implement the spec. But just talking out your vague software requirements with a chatbot is not analogous to programming.

Also, like others said, even once you have your formal spec, C is a particularly bad choice (unless you want to specify quite a bit more). You want the program implemented in a language with as many safety constraints on it as possible, not one where you have to mentally track memory.

letmeinhere··on Netflix to Acquire Warner Bros
> In June 2025, WBD announced plans to separate its Streaming & Studios and Global Networks divisions into two separate publicly traded companies. This separation is now expected to be completed in Q3 2026, prior to the closing of this transaction. The newly separated publicly traded company holding the Global Networks division, Discovery Global, will include premier entertainment, sports and news television brands around the world including CNN, TNT Sports in the U.S., and Discovery, free-to-air channels across Europe, and digital products such as Discovery+ and Bleacher Report.

So no, I don't think this gets in the way of Ellison taking over the rest of TV news; if anything it seems like it smooths the path.

letmeinhere··on Python developers are embracing type hints
Thanks, I didn't have this context. I'll start using this!
letmeinhere··on Python 3.14 is here. How fast is it?
First there was PyPI and pypy, now there is PiPy
letmeinhere··on Python developers are embracing type hints
Exactly, I want it to complain if I try to manipulate the fields/methods of an unknown object.
letmeinhere··on Python developers are embracing type hints
Option is a pretty common name for this, as is Maybe.[^1] Either way I think that ship is sailed in Python.

letmeinhere··on Python developers are embracing type hints
Yeah post 3.10 you don't need Union, Optional, List, Duct, Tuple. Any still necessary when you want to be permissive, and I'm still hoping for an Unknown someday...
letmeinhere··on What are OKLCH colors?
How does oklch compare to CIELCh(uv)? I've been using that seemingly similar system to pick uniform colors.
letmeinhere··on Comet AI browser can get prompt injected from any site, drain your bank account
AI more like crypto every day, including victim-blaming "you're doing it wrong" hand waves whenever some fresh hell is documented.
letmeinhere··on Broadcom to discontinue free Bitnami Helm charts
Would you like to count the number of spaces that various items in your manifests are indented and then pass that as an argument to a structure-unaware text file templating engine? Would you like to discover your inevitable yaml file templating errors after submitting those manifests to the cluster? Then yes, you are really missing out!
letmeinhere··on Koto Programming Language
For one thing, inferred types may feel easy to use when implemented (well) but they are not easy to implement.
letmeinhere··on Kill your Feeds – Stop letting algorithms dictate what you think
This advice is missing something crucial which is how to discover new creators sans feeds. Not saying it's impossible, but it's something they excel at and they've extinguished a lot of the old ways.
letmeinhere··on ElevenReader
That's good to know, thanks.
letmeinhere··on ElevenReader by ElevenLabs
What's the contribution model moving forward? I see the repository is still active, but is it not still under the Eleven's control? How will it evolve when they stop accepting pull requests?
letmeinhere··on FDA proposes ending use of oral phenylephrine as OTC nasal decongestant
Only thing I'd quibble with is the reason most consumers switched off of pseudoephedrine. The manufacturers knew that the inconvenience of having to go to the counter would reduce sales so they just replaced it in the aisle with an identically branded product with a different active ingredient. Most people made no affirmative choice at all; they're just buying "Sudafed", but now it's a placebo.
letmeinhere··on PEP 760: No more bare excepts
Python doesn't use semantic versioning. The number after the first period is a major (annual) release and can and does contain breaking changes (though so far never on the scale of the 2->3 upgrade).

We may never see a 4.0 because of the scar tissue, but the language continues to evolve.

letmeinhere··on Atkinson Hyperlegible Font
I recently replaced mine and ruled out a bunch of others based on just two rules:

- the zero must have a mark - the base of the lower case L must go to the right and not the left, for better distinction from the number one

letmeinhere··on The Dhall Configuration Language
Has functions, static types, a tree sitter grammar, an lsp client, and lots of implementations. Seems to me to be the most mature of the many new programmable configuration languages.
letmeinhere··on How CrowdStrike Stopped Everything
Private equity owned businesses are run in an even more predatory manner, not for next quarter's profits but just to extract every dime of equity as fees and services for their parent or as loan principal that can never be paid back.

And then venture-backed companies are ticking time bombs that abruptly close shop when they run out of money or are acquired, or at best themselves turn into the publicly traded companies you loathe.

"Good" companies are mostly just a consumer-friendly stage of the investment lifecycle.

letmeinhere··on Did your car witness a crime? Bay Area police may be coming for your Tesla
Can you elaborate why? As in, you got hit by an insured driver and so your insurance was able to bill them, whereas you didn't have collision coverage of your own?
letmeinhere··on Anyone can access deleted and private repository data on GitHub
I wonder if copyleft projects can use this to find license violations and force the altered code into the open.
letmeinhere··on Neofetch developer archives all his repositories: "Have taken up farming"
Maybe not the point, but https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch is a good alternative to the first of these.
