post-it··on Make tmux pretty and usable (2024)
I appreciate that tmux has theoretical advantages over screen, but man does the implementation suck. On Mac it still seems like there's no way to copy text if you have mouse mode on (at least in code-server).

Hmm

post-it··on Tell HN: Docker pull fails in Spain due to football Cloudflare block
You're getting frequent verification requests because you're behaving like a bot. Are you modifying your user agent string or using a VPN?
post-it··on Tell HN: Docker pull fails in Spain due to football Cloudflare block
It's not just docker and tech. Plenty of people depend on tools that use Cloudflare.

How does this make Matthew look bad?

It has a launch escape system, unlike the shuttle.

Not what he asked.

You're asking some pretty niche copyright questions that even a lawyer would have to spend time searching for case law for. It may be more expedient to look for that case law yourself.
post-it··on You can't trust macOS Privacy and Security settings
Yeah, they run fine.
post-it··on You can't trust macOS Privacy and Security settings
Not really, just an unintuitive security feature. You still need the user's permission to access that folder, but that permission is then persistent. I consider it a UX bug for sure but not an exploit.
post-it··on ML promises to be profoundly weird
I appreciate the curation you do, dang. I often notice a headline get updated and the result is always a significant improvement.
post-it··on They're made out of meat (1991)
They are clearly familiar with meat-based animals:

> “That’s ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You’re asking me to believe in sentient meat.”

> “I’m not asking you, I’m telling you. These creatures are the only sentient race in that sector and they’re made out of meat.”

And indeed sentient species that are partly made of meat:

> “Maybe they’re like the orfolei. You know, a carbon-based intelligence that goes through a meat stage.”

> “Spare me. Okay, maybe they’re only part meat. You know, like the weddilei. A meat head with an electron plasma brain inside.”

post-it··on Škoda DuoBell: A bicycle bell that penetrates noise-cancelling headphones
The construction site next door is using those vehicles, and they're also a lot more pleasant throughout the day. It's easier to tune out white noise than beeping. The first cshh is a little louder than the others, which is a nice design touch.
post-it··on The Cult of Vibe Coding Is Insane
> In this particular case, a human could have told the machine: “There’s a lot of things that are both agents and tools. Let’s go through and make a list of all of them, look at some examples, and I’ll tell you which should be agents and which should be tools. We’ll have a discussion and figure out the general guidelines. Then we’ll audit the entire set, figure out which category each one belongs in, port the ones that are in the wrong type, and for the ones that are both, read through both versions and consolidate them into one document with the best of both.”

But that isn't the hard part. The hard part is that some people are using the tool versions and some are using the agent versions, so consolidating them one way or another will break someone's workflow, and that incurs a real actual time cost, which means this is now a ticket that needs to be prioritized and scheduled instead of being done for free.

post-it··on What being ripped off taught me
The message is to have a contract and insist on being paid according to the contract, and refuse further work until you get paid.
post-it··on What being ripped off taught me
Screens outside the windows (not on the windows) can provide parallax, no need to track heads. However, in this case:

> They were attempting to pull off AR effects on the transparent OLED windows of the bus without accounting for lens distortion, field of view, parallax, occlusion, etc., and were frustrated and mystified when things didn’t appear to line up. They were completely naive to what depth and scale cues are and how to deploy them.

It's not really the right kind of authentication. A bot can use keybase too.

There's only so much handholding a government is going to do. Don't let your passport expire while abroad and ineligible for renewal.

Well I trust that the things my friends say aren't laundered AI blogspam. And if they trust the things their friends say, I can likely trust that too.

That might be okay. We'd lose a lot, obviously, but if you could 100% trust that the person you met at a coffee shop is real, and you could 99% trust that the person they met the day before is real, and you could 98% trust the person that person met is real, you've got three degrees of Kevin Bacon.

Survivor bias.

- Apollo had a significantly higher accepted risk. Apollo 1 or 13 would be untenable today.

- The percent of 13-year olds that made it into and through eight grade was significantly smaller in 1912. Your average poor farming kid did not go to eighth grade.

It's kinda exciting. The social media status quo has its upsides but a lot of downsides. I'm hopeful that the change will be good. We'll have to figure out a way to authenticate the people we're talking to, which will encourage tighter-knit communities.
post-it··on Tell HN: Anthropic no longer allowing Claude Code subscriptions to use OpenClaw
I mean that's the thing, you're paying per month. And they're changing things going forward and offering to refund the current month.

It's like if I buy a hot dog every month and they tell me they're raising the price next month, or discontinuing honey mustard. Inconvenient but they're not doing anything wrong.

Especially since, given my back of the napkin math, they're giving us a pretty decent discount on the subscription plans.

post-it··on Samsung Magician disk utility takes 18 steps and two reboots to uninstall
I started developing for my Mac a few weeks ago and I'm blown away by how easy it is to make an app that feels Mac native and includes quality of life features like CloudKit sync across all your devices. It's become clear that most companies don't give the tiniest shit about any of that.
post-it··on The Document Foundation's comment about the Collabora blog post
> The Community Bylaws require that employees of companies involved in legal disputes with The Document Foundation be removed from TDF membership because, in the past, people made decisions in the interest of their employers rather than in the interest of The Document Foundation.

What's the legal dispute?

Saving also often took a long time, so people didn't do it very often.

It can't, because there is no really good code to train off of.
