There’s a few things mixed up in this comment. But the 10-20x cheaper, I’m assuming comes from the difference between the number of tokens you can use on a $200 Claude Max subscription and the cost of those via the API.…
Just wanted to say thanks! The first time played Flight Simulator 2020 with SmoothTrack I was blown away. I still am blown away each time too. Great experience that’s been nearly flawless for me and really turned up the…
I still use an IrDA device on a regular (3-4x yearly) basis - ScubaPro Galileo Luna dive computers. What’s more - somehow this works on an M-series Mac using no additional paid software. UTM with an older Linux…
Java is the original version from Mojang/Notch. There’s always been enough of a community that killing it off to move away from Java would break so many extensions and servers would see an active revolt. There is the…
During the old days lots of things were easier to get. Semi related to this - Ian Goldberg famously had the email address n@ai (Ian backwards if you missed it) - which caused problems for many mail clients and…
Simple for simple cases - but you update a dependency and that updates a dependency that has a window range of dependencies because one version had a security issue which causes you to downgrade three other packages. It…
I was pleased that at my local toy store (yes, we still have one, The Time Machine in Manchester, CT) they carry Choose Your Own Adventure books. What’s more, last week we picked up a copy of “The Cave of Time”. So many…
All the authors up front have fidonet node numbers associated with them.
The State of Charge YouTube video that covered the announcement and visited a site in McKinney, TX indicated it did need the Walmart app[0]. Sigh. Plug and pay charging is so much better. It’s not like this is a Tesla…
And let’s not forget that until the DSM-V, a child could not be diagnosed with both autism and ADHD (see section E at the bottom of this table [0] showing changes from the DSM-IV to DSM-V): > The symptoms do not occur…
I moved all my setup to Ansible about five years ago. It’s been awesome, especially as it makes it trivial to replicate changes to new machines. Installed a new package? Run the playbook again. Changed a script? Run the…
This is, quite possibly, one of the best nerd sniping comments I’ve seen. Two thoughts come to mind, one not serious, one serious. 1. I can’t imagine having to align the counters on all those tapes. 2. I’m guessing this…
Because the ones running Docker in production aren’t paying the license fees they make you pay to use Docker Desktop.
I’ve had a couple of the original, the prime, extend, and now the Flex 4K. They’ve all been terrific devices. The extend was a little wonky because transcoding goes wonky on bad signals, but generally great. They’re all…
Newer iPhones and the XReal One glasses are just fine and in part with the admittedly mediocre experience of Android devices. Let’s not pretend that Nebula on Android is good. I’ve got a Beam Pro. It also is not great.…
Ditto. I bought them because I travel a lot for work and TVs at hotels are always a mess when it comes to HDMI in. I use them on maybe 1 of 4 flights I’m on (usually on SteamDeck with XR plug-in in Decky), and rarely at…
Or, the manufacturers will lose patience with slow adoption, the mess that is widevine DRM (what? Your TV isn’t based on Android? No, you can’t have DRM!), and customers really not caring because basically none of the…
I live in an area that is on the edge of coverage and has lots of hills. On ATSC 1.0, CBS is hard to pick up. Frequently unwatchable - which means unreliable for sports. I picked up an HDHomerun Flex 4K a few years ago.…
1Password makes this fairly easy. I’m sure other tools can too. But if you’ve got a tool, you just don’t need to think about it. As long as 1Password doesn’t get LastPass’d - although their architecture should prevent…
You can have the best of both worlds - use atuin and fzf. I use fish shell, so you'll have to forgive any fishisms. First, when you start atuin, don't bind to ctrl-r, instead manually bind it to something else. I use…
Repomix can take care of this for you. I pack it, cat the file to my clipboard with pbcopy, and just paste it into the prompt. https://github.com/yamadashy/repomix
Here’s something that still blows my mind. When I bought Ultima VII, I think I paid $69.99 for it. Depending on how you do the math, that’s like $150 today. And today I don’t buy most games unless they’re half off and…
Rick Santorum tried doing this repeatedly starting in 2005. It was one of personal crusades in the Senate. https://www.politico.com/story/2012/01/7-year-old-attack-on-...
Texas has the “Capture or Use of Biometric Identifiers” act. It’s very similar to the Illinois act that requires consent etc. Although it’s been on the books for a long time, Texas AG Paxton really only started…
Prior to using Atuin, I had some fun fish plugins that used fzf to search my history. I still find that I use that most often (it even searches my atuin history too), but when that fails - or becomes overly complicated,…
