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?…

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…

I've run dozens of servers/services/DBs on AWS as the root user for years. I will never, ever set up MFA there or anywhere else. I want only email verification through my private email server. No hardware keys to lose,…

Please don't pile on, just trust me, archive.ph is now not responding... what's the status and is there a coordinated attack now? State actors? Who's throwing resources at this?

For most of my life I've been troubled by the term "dialectic". According to Merriam-Webster, it means: * a: discussion and reasoning by dialogue as a method of intellectual investigation specifically : the Socratic…

Just curious if anyone knows the reason for animating the Smores.js bear using gskinners EaselJS circa 2010, as opposed to Pixijs or something more modern? https://doodles.google/doodle/celebrating-smores/ source:…
