I am constantly astounded by the state of Windows audio for interfaces. Still having to use different ASIO implementations when MacOS just lets you stack aggregate interfaces like it’s nothing.

Exactly this! If it’s better than CarPlay, I will use it. If it’s worse, I want to be able to use CarPlay. I’m old enough to understand that car infotainment systems do not keep getting updated and quickly fade into obscurity. I won’t buy a vehicle without CarPlay as I know it will keep working for a pretty long amount of time.

Everything I do for the company is on the public GitHub and GPLed. Not overly useful to anything other than our product suite but it feels good to have it all open source. I used to contribute to Linux PAM but it’s been a good long time. Nowadays I just submit the random merge request for bug fixes. One day I shall retire and contribute to the networking stack. One day….

Finally someone who gets ME! I maintain the Go SDK and leverage Snyk and GitHub to perform dependency checks. I’m mostly using the standard library but I like feeling like I have someone over my shoulder double checking things. I maintain the things built on top of the SDK as well like the Terraform provider so it’s really nice having the foundation and the building. No one else cares but I rewrote the back off/retry logic this week so folk don’t overload the API. Supply chain attacks are scary. I run as few dependencies as I can without having to reinvent the wheel. I’ve have spent so much time double checking package signing and key security it’s insane.

I work in tech. No one cares about my updates to the client SDK. It would make for boring dinner conversation and it’s not like there is office gossip…I work from home. Do you want to hear about my chat about updates to the corporate PPT deck to illustrate the new logical flow of connectivity? Because marketing was on that call and they didn’t care either.

Reminds me of the NOFX song Oxymoronic.

I had assumed that in the era of smart watches, that a regular watch wouldn’t be popular. I don’t wear a watch at all but I am very surprised that there is this level of interest in watches. Kinda makes me happy that watches are doing well, I hope it’s a mechanical watch that has driven interest. I wish I knew why the interest level is so high though. Maybe it was on YouTube or something?

So we are going to assume rest api consumers use the api responsibly as opposed to making a ton of additional calls for no reason that an LLM will have to interpret rather than my existing Redis cache? I’m sure an LLM will be far more efficient.

Can you imagine the screams of, “COMMUNISM!!!!” If Obama or Biden had done this. It’s all we would hear about for an entire election cycle. Fox “News” would play it nonstop.

That was my first thought when I saw this headline.

I have a fabric shaver I got for Xmas like 6 years ago and haven’t found anything to do with it. Maybe it’s due to just wearing like jeans/cargos/tshirts? Is it supposed to be used for that? I feel like you need to wear something nicer to take advantage of it.

One thing to keep in mind is that NO CODE is believed to be secure…regardless of open source or closed source. The difference is that a lot of folk can audit open source whereas we all have to take the word of private companies who are constantly reducing headcount and replacing devs with AI when it comes to closed source.
