Paradox

Good riddance to bad spamware

Wonder how many things they shit up

I was surprised to find that an old Plex feature, controlling any one player from any other instance, such as playing on a laptop and controlling with a cell phone, no longer worked. My wife and I used that a lot when traveling, as plugging a laptop into a hotel TV with an HDMI cable is generally far more bullet proof than any streaming stick

Course sometimes we’d stay in an Airbnb, and they’d have a Roku or Apple TV, where we’d just sign into a Plex app and use it there. But that’s beyond the point

MacOS has had caffeinate forever, and it works great

Did they perhaps confuse Tesla solar installs with the cars?

I wish more people would hold Sam Altman’s feet to the fire, hold him to some semblance of accountability. Because the man has made an entire career of failing upwards, from launching a short lived startup that imploded, to suddenly becoming president of ycombinator, to suddenly being worth billions of dollars, and literally paying people in the third world (with monopoly money, of course) for their eyeballs

Oh and there’s the whole thing where he might have molested his kid sister, which is always seemingly glossed over

Even Ed Zitron, who isn’t afraid to go after someone (see his articles about the guy who destroyed Google search) seems to handle Sam with kid gloves

I still reach for sass for a lot of things, but now you don’t have to, which is really nice

But now who will donate pretend coats for the virtually needy?!

You’re a moron if you use this.

Not only that, but with toolchains like deno, it’s almost enjoyable

I wrote some telegram bots in deno and it’s got one of the cleanest deploy chains around, just compile to an executable for the target architecture, and SCP it over. Exec is statically linked, and so it just works

Recently I had to do an update to the underlying environment a codebase ran on. This was a somewhat involved upgrade and took a longer period of time than most of our work usually does. I did it in a separate worktree, so I didn’t have to constantly rejuggle the installed dependencies in the project, and could work on two features relatively concurrently

It also provides some utility for comparing the two versions. Nothing you couldn’t do other ways, but still useful

And in elixir/erlang we’re spoiled with loads of options, from ETS to mnesia

Apple has done this many times before. Over even more frivolous patents (i.e. a glossy black rectangle)

They made their bed, now they have to lie in it

Can they build factories to brake too?

I use foam for vscode. Works great, is codium compatible, and is open source

Search input elements still don’t have a native “clear” button

JFC that’s been a thing in webkit for nearly 2 decades

Throw them into the ocean, same as all car batteries

Subaru Solana or whatever it’s called. I bought an ascent earlier this year, but it basically came down to splitting hairs when I went with it over the Solana. Absolute blast to test drive that thing, and I’d love to take it down to Moab or similar places.

Probably going to wind up leasing one next year, so I don’t have to worry about battery decline down the road

Not if they have a way to strip watermarks too, as has happened with every other system like this

In some places they are.

In Utah, for example, there’s a system called Utopia. They ran fiber all over the place, to the home in most locations. The fiber itself is an Ethernet network owned by Utopia. ISPs then just provide service over said Ethernet network. You can have multiple ISPs at the same time, and they don’t actually own the last-mile, or much else

If you can’t list em, you shouldn’t be able to charge for em
