cat original intended usage

The original intended usage of the domestic cat (Felis catus) was pest control, specifically hunting rodents like mice and rats to protect grain stores.

the entire agent harness discourse has gone straight over my head minus the tui/gui framework that a bunch of them make from scratch for some reason, are they not a few thousand lines of relatively simple code?

GrapheneOS @grapheneos.org · 29/08/2026
We have a partial port of GrapheneOS to the Pixel 11 series after a week of work on it. We're unable to complete the port due to lack of support for ARM hardware memory tagging in software, firmware and near certainly hardware. It appears Google cut an important security feature to save money.

8 million USD is not peanuts. The GNOME foundation's 2024-2025 revenue was $586k. KDE's 2025 revenue was €620,000. with 8 million USD you could fully fund both for over 7 years

A lot of peoples take on NixOS is and I quote "I don't understand this therefore it is objectively bad", which some people somehow think is a good take that we have to take seriously

the helix default theme is part of a genius onboarding process, because the first thing a user will do is try to change it to something less repulsive, discovering how simple the config is in the process

thread of build system thoughts which may become a blog post 💭 many good systems like NixOS lose all guarantees when confronted with non-batch usage 💭 does statelessness itself lead to being a batch system? 💭 the more stateless and simple you want your system to feel, the more state it must have

Sorry this bothers me. "Choosing a tool that's not the same one everyone else uses" is apparently "[indulging] in weird quirks". Just wild. No critical thought required to make these claims!

The median tech organization uses a homogenous set of tools and produces mediocre outcomes that no one is satisfied with. Some outliers use unique or bespoke tools and are extremely productive. The lesson management takes from this is, for some reason, teams should hew towards industry "standards"
