It's legitimately crazy to me that there are no native, user-friendly applications for viewing and modifying Markdown documents on Linux. I just want to manage some notes, without all the "second brain" or "PKM" stuff attached.

erys is an extremely talented software developer btw. Cut its teeth on Quake Engines, learned C++ on the job, worked on the Sin 1 remaster, cares a great deal about code restoration without breaking changes AND on top of all of that is extremely competent with CMake! (and I don't say that lightly!!)

It’s very clear by now that if LLMs are not improving your software quality it’s either a revealed preference (yours or your org’s) for more volume vs more quality, or a skill issue. The level of testing and review they are enabling in the Go cryptography standard library is amazing.

Software that "looks worse" is so much easier to use because the high contrast and harsh colors make it so much easier to identify where buttons, panels, and sections both start and end. Interfaces are meant to be used, not looked at.
Photograph of a "Recover files" dialog with old-style UI. Think light-grey buttons with black borders and harsh, dark, shadows.

The explosion of "unique" TLDs is so crazy to me. Is there a reasonable justification for this? I think that so many of these should get "unassigned", like ".md" and ".google".

Wow Hetzner used to be so cheap... Today their lowest plan is $6.50 per month... Still great value, but a $2.50 per month plan would be nice.

Does NPM no longer allow for using an authenticator app as a 2FA method??? I just cancelled my existing one to replace it immediately (old phone broke), but now I'm not sure what to do... If there is a short cooldown period, I should know about it.

Am I imagining things or was GitKraken from 10 years ago so much higher quality? I don't remember it being an electron app and having many of those bugs associated with being an electron app. The UI and UX also have a lot of paper cuts.

I'm completely baffled and utterly flabbergasted by Ubuntu's decision to replace GNU coreutils and sudo with Rust equivalents. I understand that 25.10 isn't an LTS release, but I expect things to be more polished. 😬 Right off the bat, I'm hit with bugs for their version of `mktemp` and `sudo`:
Image of running "mktemp -d --suffix -dotfiles" and "sudo -v". First, mktemp does not recognize the suffix that starts with a hyphen. Second, sudo does not recognize the "admin_flag" setting.

it is impossible to generate code comments from source code because good comments are definitionally based on things not in the source code (intent, counterfactuals, experiments, etc.)

Was really excited to try out @solidjs.com, but devastated to learn that SSR w/out Babel isn't possible h & html assume browser env. packages under `dom-expressions` seemed to be _exactly_ what I was looking for, but that requires browser env as well. github.com/ryansolid/do...

SSR Runtime for `hyper` and `lit` · Issue #148 · ryansolid/dom-expressions
As the title says. Currently hyper and lit only run on browser runtime, so if one were to use these on server-side, users aren't able to use SSR API from dom-expressions

Adding all the fun lime green parts (my fav color) to this oil painting of supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. Still a long ways to go & triangles to paint but starting to take shape! I did good, now I will eat cake.
Colorful square space painting on easel. Circular in shape with turquoise around the outside. Inside is bright pinks, peaches, and details are taking shape in lime green and golden yellow.
