The Sofa App (https://sofahq.com) is great if you're on iOS & Mac. It has movie, show, and book meta data for keeping track of recommendations.
I'm no car guy, but that's a beautiful vehicle. How totally Japanese too; zany but rad.
Believe it when I see it. I feel like I’m in a time loop with these headlines.
I’ve stopped using Claude on the desktop, just because of how slow the app is to start up and interact with. It’s an absolute clunker; I’m mystified why they can’t ship something that works well given their rhetoric…
It’s still dedicated ram on a separate chip, which is affected by supply shortages. The ram is soldered onto the SoC in close proximity to the main arm chip. What’s different is that it is simultaneously addressable by…
I’m not clear on the difference between atom and RSS. Atom seemed to be the better spec, but for my Astro blog I ended up sticking to the built in `rss` helper it ships with.

There’s a lot to be said about his approach with go for simplicity. Python needs virtual environments, package managers, dependencies on disk, a wsgi/asgi server to run forked copies of the server, and all of that uses…
> It runs in a privileged environment separate from the kernel and blits the light directly onto the screen hardware. That explains how it can still be safe from even kernel-level exploits. Neat approach, and it works…
Their working is exceptionally thorough, all the concerns about additional maths and transformations is well considered. I really have to wonder if introducing any semantic-changing transformations for what I’m guessing…
Python too under the hood, a lot of its core is still from how it started as a quick way to do unixy/C things.
I don’t lose bags either, but airlines do. The AirTag let me tell United which building in Houston in ended up in (after getting lost at SFO), and refute their gaslighting multiple times that it was heading my way.…
While it’s hardly insightful that SQL is useful, I would have liked to read more about what the actual workload involving duckdb on a local machine looked like. I’m fully on board that local or single vm workloads can…
I’ve spent a lot of time with both, and hands down the wired one is far more flakey. Granted I think that’s more a Mazda software issue, but a solid 10% of the time I get “CarPlay failed” and the only way to fix it is…
Looks like Django 6 is getting an offical task system. There’s no real world brokers or workers supported (at least built in), but still centralising around a standard interface might make things nicer than the celery…
Introducing JIT features has a lot of opportunities beyond numerical numpy/numba vectorisation. There’s endless amounts of hot loops, data shuffling, garbage collection, and monomorphisation that could be done in real…
The release has a pretty cute logo of the snakes eating a pie: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3140/
It’s true that phones cameras are miracles of technology, especially considering their size. But I take a modern Fuji traveling because the modern phone camera look is so over-processed and distinct. There’s no faking…
Yeah it really was a social phenomena. Ten years ago conferences were swarmed with docker employees, swag, plenty of talks and excitement. The effort to introduce the concepts to the mainstream can’t be understated. It…
Oxc js a rust toolkit made by Void0, the mob that makes vite and vitest. These are highly regarded and performant additions to the Js/Ts ecosystem. Oxlint is a alternative to eslint built on Oxc. It has suffered from…
That site is misleading. Even putting aside regulations for many of the elements, everything after plutonium does not occur in nature and is made synthetically in individual atomic amounts that usually decay in hours to…
It’s a TS/JS to wasm to C tool chain, that runs the same JS a dozen times faster than on node. Very cool approach, and lambda cold starts are definitely where it ought to shine. That said I wonder if it could ever go…
It has native TS and JSX support, excellent spy, module, and DOM mocking, benchmarking, works with vite configs, and parallelises tests to be really fast.
You know what they call alternative medicine that's been proved to work? - Medicine. —Tim Minchin
I don’t mind the distinction of it as a map container keeping dot properties/methods separate from the keyed values. But yeah the endless string quoting is painful coming back from JS, bare key literals in constructors…
