sdf4j··on Catch a Bird – I made it for my own sanity
That’s not catching
sdf4j··on Governments are mishandling the affordability crisis
The consequences of reducing spending are also obvious, I won’t call it a ‘solution’ given how bad they hurts.
sdf4j··on Couple was swatted 55 times in 2 years over a post about Norm Macdonald
Easy, have policies for such situations. Just don’t show up like bin laden is hiding in the home if it’s the third fake call of the week.

And because their entire existence is to show up, you have a conflict of interests on how you answer the call.

sdf4j··on Claude Code now reads AGENTS.md if there is no Claude.md
got myself in a heated discussion with cc about that. It confessed that it added the ‘Made by Claude’ in a commit because a ‘mid session system-prompt refresh’ told it that, and that overwrites any previous instruction in CLAUDE.md
sdf4j··on OpenAI agents carried out an undisclosed attack on RubyGems
Since when isn’t that a cyber attack?
sdf4j··on Amazon pilots ad services in ChatGPT
maybe the smartest minds in all of tech can’t do better.
sdf4j··on Doomscrolling ourselves to death
If something changes frequently, is it important to know? is the change inevitable or artificial?

I’ve learned to appreciate lasting things and ideas.

sdf4j··on Escape IntelliJ: Scala and Kotlin LSPs on Emacs Eglot
I think OP talks about code navigation, which is objectively terrible on vscode in general
sdf4j··on AMD Strix Halo RDMA Cluster Setup Guide
You got it wrong. Use appliances instead of eggs. If getting an oven gets more expensive I rather keep going to Dennys.

It’s classic capex vs opex. I’d keep paying my openai subscription instead of dropping $3k to run a subpar model. If the thing costs $1k I would consider it.

sdf4j··on PowerFox Browser
> That's a good thing, but making it clearer what to expect will make it easier for potential users to decide whether to give it a try.

There are not that many options for the potential users.

sdf4j··on How long until AI automates all cognitive labor?
Plenty of C-level executives have salaries around that number. Replacing them with AGI would be cost-effective. Cost is contingent, shouldn't be part of the AGI definition.
sdf4j··on Show HN: I quit coding years ago. AI brought me back
Curious about why the janky manual paper processes, excel sheets, or stuff not documented, was fixed only when vibe code was available. Was it just cost?
sdf4j··on Fathers’ choices may be packaged and passed down in sperm RNA
> they all have the same mother, grew up in the same house, etc.

I’m pretty sure the first one didn’t have siblings, and the second only had one. Also their mother is not the same person after raising the first kid, or raising two.

Parenting never have reproducible conditions.

sdf4j··on If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes?
That's what Bill Gates proposed [0].

sdf4j··on Postman which I thought worked locally on my computer, is down
Good thing is that we can start using Insomnium now.
sdf4j··on Wi-fi signal tracks heartbeat without wearables
That’s the point, with wifi you already have the array of microphones in the room.
sdf4j··on Become unbannable from your email
When I see suggestions to "own" your email domain, how do you manage the chicken-egg problem of needing an email address in the first place to register the domain you want to lease?

Are there registrars that let you walk in with a physical ID to proof you are you in case your email gets compromised and they get access to the registrar? Any experience with that?

sdf4j··on Guy running a Google rival from his laundry room
what you mean we can't? there are a lot of curated content directories out there.
sdf4j··on Why is GitHub UI getting slower?
GitLab is a completely different platform.

This comes to solve the problem of the terrible UX in the most widespread git service. I won't dare to try to convince my whole team, or company, to migrate to GitLab, but this can be easily adopted.

sdf4j··on Do not download the app, use the website
not having a way to divide notification channels, transactional vs promotional, make it worse than android.
sdf4j··on Self-Host and Tech Independence: The Joy of Building Your Own
> I always say to buy a domain first.

You can only rent a domain. The landlord is merciless if you miss a payment, you are out.

There are risks everywhere, and it depresses me how fragile is our online identity.

sdf4j··on Compiler Explorer and the promise of URLs that last forever
> One of my founding principles is that Compiler Explorer links should last forever.

And yet… that was a very self-destructive decision.

sdf4j··on I wrote to the address in the GPLv2 license notice (2022)
To answer your questions: receiving letters is easy, companies know how to do it. Sending letters is not common for the public.
sdf4j··on Coolify: Open-source and self-hostable Heroku / Netlify / Vercel alternative
And that happened 15 years ago
sdf4j··on John Cage recital set to last 639 years recently witnessed a chord change
What about Marxism?
sdf4j··on Apple unveils new Mac Studio
The first paragraph that talks about the OS itself is depressing:

>macOS Sequoia completes the new Mac Studio experience with a host of exciting features, including iPhone Mirroring, which allows users to wirelessly interact with their iPhone, its apps, and notifications directly from their Mac.

So that's their highlight for a pro workstation user.

sdf4j··on An infinite DNA glitch saved millions [video]
I read “infinite NDA” and built up a crazy story while the video was loading.
sdf4j··on Java in the Small
First time I hear those claims about Postgres. Was that the sentiment 30 years ago?
sdf4j··on What TDD is good for
This CDD doesn’t lead to problems?

I see a disconnection with reality here… Somehow bugs are caused by dumb people who thinks their code is great but it’s not. So we let smart people come up with practices that dumb people will follow and mistakes will be avoided.

How these certified architects folks will prevent defects is not clear to me.

sdf4j··on Sora is here
I grew up watching Looney Tunes interpretation of physics and turned out just fine.
