Last night I had a dream: A company I worked for said there were a lot of typos, human mistakes and inconsistencies in their database. There were a billion rows in the DB, but only 250 million or so had "mistakes". They…

Background. I'm a solo dev. I used to just bid contract jobs at around 25% less than where I used to work. So back in 2008 I would bid $75k to go solo on a job I knew my former employer would charge $100k for. I…

Suppose you want to access a folder in a cron job. Maybe it's on another drive, maybe it's a Dropbox folder. Oh no, you can't! Not allowed! It's not a permissions issue, it's the chain of custody for full disk access!…

So a few weeks ago I spun up an openclaw instance and gave it a Claude API key. I was coaching it through turning an old client/server codebase into a headless one (something I wrote 15 years ago for projecting sports…

Background: My dad, my mom's dad, and my uncle all suffered from dementia; having a deep, multi-threaded conversation which you were invested in, where you suddenly need to remind the other person of what you were…

Do you hear this from your interns a lot?

That's my question. I've found myself dithering a lot now over whether to just write it, knowing I could try to order it up and fix it while I have a cup of coffee. What worries me is it's making me less likely to just…

Imagine you read an article in Wired in 1996 envisioning the following: (1) Stock market keeps rallying while the only growth and capex is in AI (2) Mass layoffs of human workers (3) Giant spike in resource consumption…

I opened up Claude in a VSCode project today, and the name of the archived conversation to resume was unrelated to its content. The conversation was now labeled: "Debugging Python Web Scraper With Selenium". I don't…

This is such a ridiculous hack. A friend with an iphone sent a text to my Android reading: Like: "I'm thinking of a number" Google's Messages app interpreted this as: to "I'm thinking of a number" I was like, who are…

I frequently go out to code. And it almost always involves bringing a laptop. I think since reading "The Diamond Age" I've longed for some perfect, rollable, e-ink way to just jot down code with a pen on a table. Maybe…

95% of the time these days, when I'm trying to figure out how to make some imported piece of code do what I need it to do, I'm relying on the IDE to jump my way through interfaces and types until I find what I need.…

Just sitting here thinking about something else, vaguely watching the Roku fish, when I realized there was text running along the bottom which I'd never noticed before. It says "Thank your mother for me". Wtf?…
- Show HN: An homage to Tom Dowdy's 1991 screensaver, "Kaos" (thestrikeagency.com)
So, I was about 11 years old and just got my first Mac, a IIsi, and of course everyone had AfterDark, but there was this other screensaver program called "Dark Side of the Mac". And within it was, I think now, the most…

This is a question I wouldn't ask on S.O because no one would know what I was talking about. Here goes: I'm messing around building a CPU pixel blitter, for fun. Here's a tiny demo:…

When I see something broken on a website, my inclination has always been to try to send a reproducible report to the devs / owners / whoever. Lately, though, any kind of technical contact is conspicuously absent from…
