well I've been thinking of buying a bunch of hard drives to do an air gapped backup of all my photos - cos I think there's a reasonable chance of mass automated ransomware in our future. Probably not what they mean

Okay, it’s time for my tech stack to Go Woke. What’s the good, non American, alternative to Cloudflare that won’t give money to DHH affiliated projects?

Gambling should be banned and I’m willing to accept a very broad definition of gambling

If I say that some code is 'Claudey' (derogative) - would you know what I meant?

he's a sort of schrodinger's woke - hated by the woke for being a libertarian and the anti-woke for being woke.

We make the websites harder and harder to use, so people start interfacing with them through chatbots, and then we’re gonna fill the websites with adversarial content to get the chatbot to sell our products and then people will stop trusting the chatbots and then... um

@aphera.co I often have jpeg and raw files in the same folder, it seems like Aphera de-duplicates them already - skipping the jpeg if a raw is there. Is it possible to make it also delete the jpeg if I delete an associated raw image? I realise that this is a niche and weird request lol

Every time I look at my vim config it seems like there's a new package manager du jour!

makes you wonder what was the point of this acquisition? I guess we just have to look forward to “Gianni Infantino’s Fifa 2027”, a Gacha game with a realtime LLM time commentator who encourage you to make bets on polymarket

If AI is revolutionising software, why can you still not simply paste images into google sheets?

For some reason I feel less and less inclined to make any new software open source

I felt like it wasn't fun enough. I think it lacks emotional depth, but is, as you say, so fixated on making a point about modern America that a lot of the stuff that should be fun ends up being miserable. A big expensive action film with giants and people turned into pigs should have some levity

I definitely remember as a kid buying tickets on the train. And it happens regularly enough in the midlands that the ticket machines are broken that they still kind of expect it 🤪

if I was a well regarded music producer in the twilight of my career I probably wouldn’t choose to appear in an advert for a predatory gambling company

It's weird that AI image generation peaked in 2023 and then got progressively more boring and (for me) useless

It really depends on what those funds actually are. It won't be included in the S&P500 - but if you are invested in a broader US index, there's a good chance that you will end up holding spaceX. Worth looking into probably.

I'd love to just use spotlight - but as of this week it can't find the majority of the applications on my computer...

very late to the party - but are you still looking? I've been getting pretty interested in Jujutsu and excited to learn about what you are building. I'm mostly a TypeScript / frontend person, but I have a lot of love for programming languages. have worked in Haskell and done rust in my spare time.

Botivo is the best fake booze. Basically an identical experience to having a Campari and Soda - but better

nah - you don't want to wear wear two socks with different levels of wear. The real answer is to own at most ten pairs of socks, and have them all be visually distinct.
