thisgoodlife··on Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking
I’m curious how you guys keep track of each model’s coding capabilities. The landscape keeps changing. I don’t suppose you benchmark all frontier models every other month, right?
thisgoodlife··on Pocketbase – open-source realtime back end in 1 file
Even for battle-tested software like Postgresql, always read the changelog and test it thoroughly before upgrading.
thisgoodlife··on iPhone Air
I like the size of a regular iPhone. What I really want is a lighter phone. Unfortunately, compared to the iPhone 17, the Air is about 30% thinner, with worse battery life, camera, etc, but only around 7% lighter. I was expecting at least 20% lighter if it's called "Air".
thisgoodlife··on Google confirms it's 'combining' Chrome OS and Android into a single platform
Also combine fuchsia while you are at it. You don’t need so many operating systems
thisgoodlife··on GIMP 3.0
Can it draw basic stuff like circles, arrows, and lines now?
thisgoodlife··on Twitch limiting uploads to 100 hours, deleting the rest starting April 19th
I guess it’s the latter. If you can afford, give your users a generous offer, but never unlimited. Otherwise, some people will find very creative ways to abuse it.
thisgoodlife··on A year of uv: pros, cons, and should you migrate
I create a .venv directory for each project(even for those test projects named pytest, djangotest). And each project has its own requirements file. Personally, Python packaging has never been a problem.
thisgoodlife··on I'm Done with Ubuntu
I don’t care much about package managers. I left Ubuntu because it put a snap directory in my home folder, put ads in mtod, and made mount output unreadable. It felt like I lost control of my computer.
thisgoodlife··on Google says it will change Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' in Maps
So dumb, it’s brilliant!
thisgoodlife··on Show HN: I created a lightweight JavaScript library to visualize JSON as a graph
Cool project! If the input is an array of objects, the output graph is just a single block. Is this the expected output?
thisgoodlife··on Postgres is eating the database world
Did a quick search and found this 480-core server. Not exactly 512, but not far off. https://lenovopress.lenovo.com/lp1729-thinksystem-sr950-v3-s...
thisgoodlife··on F-35 Program Achieves Full Rate Production
How do you think we won WW2? By praying?
thisgoodlife··on Ente: Open-Source, E2E Encrypted, Google Photos Alternative
If the link contains the keys, does that mean the server can also see these keys?
thisgoodlife··on Microsoft Owns the Trademark for “X”
I didn’t know a letter can be trademarked. If let’s say Xerox decides to get into the video game business, can Microsoft sue them for trademark infringement?
thisgoodlife··on Let's Encrypt issues 35 certs every second
You can automate the process. Try certbot.
thisgoodlife··on YouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockers
That’s a win win. You shouldn’t be forced to use the platform. And the platform shouldn’t be forced to provide you services for free
thisgoodlife··on Lotus 1-2-3
If I were the customer, I’d reject your proposal too. The old software has been working fine for 40 years, why would I want to find someone to rewrite it?
thisgoodlife··on Making Python faster with Rust
My concern is that it’s not ready for prod yet.

“At this point, the Python runtime is made available for experimentation and curious end-users. “

thisgoodlife··on Alphabet is spending billions to become a force in health care
I’m all for it if it means free health care.
thisgoodlife··on Google Maps tells Russians Crimea is in Russia, tells Ukrainians it's in Ukraine
UN is useless when the Permanent Five is involved in the dispute. There is no way Russia and the US will agree on a resolution.
thisgoodlife··on JetBrains Fleet: The Next-Generation IDE by JetBrains
That makes sense. Thanks for sharing!
thisgoodlife··on We don't really need to take 10k steps a day for health
I just knew it! It’s entirely possible that 1k steps is enough for me. :D
thisgoodlife··on Miami building collapse: Letter in April warned of worsening damage
So true. The first time I saw a California prop 65 cancer warning label, I panicked. Now, I just don’t care anymore. Obviously, everything can cause cancer in CA.
thisgoodlife··on Apple’s new keyboard feature in iOS 15 is insult to Cantonese speaking community
Most likely the people who wrote the feature note didn’t know what they were talking about
thisgoodlife··on Althttpd: Simple webserver in a single C file
MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH is 250MB. You won’t be able to send 4GB of data.
thisgoodlife··on USB-C upgrade delivers 240W for gaming laptops and other devices
USB versions are confusing. We have usb4 which uses usb-c. And usb-c now has a new version called 2.1?
thisgoodlife··on Facebook shuts popular stock trading group amid GameStop frenzy
I find it scary that those big tech companies are trying their best to put everything under their control. I understand that they are private companies. But does that mean they can do whatever they want and get away with it?
thisgoodlife··on Gitlab removes its 'starter' tier Users must either pay 5x more or lose features
Quite the contrary, I consider it a good thing that someone is helping out those companies that gitlab is giving up.
thisgoodlife··on As Adobe Flash stops running, so do some railroads in China
What the hell is a pirated version of flash? Isn’t flash free? Can you even pirate a free software?
thisgoodlife··on About Google's approach to research publication – Jeff Dean
one link says she resigned. The other one says she was fired. Which one is it then?
