I'm surprised by the severe limitations of the Google Tasks and Google Keep API (for consumer accounts). Things like settings a deadline with both a date and time, or modifying a google keep note are impossible.

People who lack soft skills are going to have a hard time.

Bootstrap 3 looks so good it's actually insane

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.

why bother to read what you didn't care to write?

Friend: Is this Linux? Me: Yeah, unfortunately. Friend: It's kinda ugly...

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!!)

Optimist: The cup is half full Pessimist: The cup is half empty Linux User: Why is the cup leaking?

Optimist: The cup is half full Pessimist: The cup is half empty Science Fiction Writer: The cup is a crystalline super computer and the liquid is hyperintelligent, they want to know why humanity should be allowed to exist, you have 30 minutes to respond and the answer must be danced by a cat

for a junk drawer to legally qualify as a real junk drawer, what is the ONE absolute mandatory item it must include? a bunch of twist ties

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.

That's so pretty

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.

Wading through the trenches of prehistoric GitHub and I'm surprised to see so much stuff written in Ruby. This was an era truly before my time...

Do I see a @github.com Actions fork of StepMania? 👀

Are sponsored posts on MDN a recent thing?! I was looking for web performance resources and MDN had a post, but it ended up being written by (and advertises) DebugBear.

I just saw a CSS framework that describes itself as a "'no build' TailwindCSS"... We've truly come full circle...

I miss this era of software... :(

I wish that I began using @vivaldi.com sooner... It is SO GOOD!

Using CPAN is so wild. I can't seem to do anything without installing a bunch of random modules: Term::ReadKey, Term::ReadLine::Perl, CPAN::DistnameInfo, and Text::Levenshtein::Damerau::XS!

The word ragebaiting is so funny to me because our geneneration had a word for that. It's called trolling

I'm not complaining about Tailscale, but my phone is dead right now so I can't ssh into my own computer. It's unfortunate.

The first rule of memory safety in C is that you don't talk about memory safety in C.

I'm looking up `intmax_t` and the first result is a post by the amazing @thephd.dev - I guess it's time to buckle up I'm in for a wild ride!

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.

@reillywood.com Hey! Somehow stumbled upon a resource that you shared a while ago: twitter.com/reillywood/s.... I was wondering if you somehow remember who made the modified version, would like to give credit.

A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020. It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too 💛 bell.bz/its-been-a-v...

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.)

Has anybody else purchased Zebra's Sarasa MarkOn and experienced pen skipping? Maybe I'm storing the pens incorrectly?

Oh my gosh I love monoliths so much...

I just ran the Jest test suite with Jest, and I'm kind of surprised that it told me in seconds - 477 to be exact. Sort of expected the default to be human readable, maybe there is a rational for that decision somewhere

Today I accidentally clicked on a vercel.com link... _Immediately_ my fans roar to life and somehow my the soundtrack I'm listening to skips and lags. Apparently the Linux process scheduler thinks rendering the Vercel website is more important than PipeWire... ? Has anyone else experienced this??

Schemastore.org began as a simple idea: a central hub for JSON schemas. Today, it’s a global resource powered by community contributions. To keep it free and reliable, we’re inviting for-profit organizations to sponsor and support its continued growth.
