@zed.dev is it possible to disable the threads sidebar? I don't want to use it and prefer separate windows

The quid pro quo of a Starmer leadership was that - fine - we weren't getting a storyteller or a charisma powerhouse, but we'd at least get serious, competent leadership committed to delivery. In fact we got neither.

@zed.dev the latest Parallel Agents update has made me turn off all AI and Git integrations. Really not a big fan of it... The threads panel just never goes away and windows now just open there rather than separate windows?

I wanted to try vibe coding with Ralph-tui and couldn't get it to work with claude code. It kept saying it is not installed and it clearly is cause I can run claude --version but ralph seems to just not work with aliases. I guess I'll just go back to how I normally code and use tools like claude

It's 20 years since @seanphillips.bsky.social and I exchanged a sketchbook back and forth in the mail, a drawn &painted call and response. INTERSECTIONS may be out of print but here is a flip through that sketchbook. You can still find the book out there :)

I've asked the team behind Cue to come prepared to discuss the limits of configuration management when dealing with different configuration systems, for example, using Terraform, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions to manage a single project, something that occurs more often than you would think.

Reading the atproto.com docs and trying to understand DID. When I setup my bsky account I claimed my domain for my handle but I set the _atproto dns record to "did=did:plc:..." but the atproto docs suggests I could set it to "did:web:aran.dev" but don't know if this would work or not?

@tomasmcguinness.bsky.social just wondering could your fart sensors detect when a radiator is filling with air and need bleeding based on the flow/return temperatures? Does the efficiency of a radiator and the temperatures fluctuate enough to detect that?

Got my app deploy and the "prelaunch" page up and running on @fly.io today. Took a bit of time it was of course a DNS issue. Mostly my fault with the way I was trying to configure things and not reading the instructions properly Tomorrow I'm going to put some posts up about it #buildinpublic
