Recent Notes

My goals with https://brutrb.com were to make something as conceptually simple as Rails. Work is still in progress. I find Hanami extremely complicated, but it's probably the most mature Rails alternative if you don't want to roll your own with Sinatra.

@nprofile1q... I don’t mind them being a d-pad and specialty buttons but they all suck at that - an NES controller would be better

If Apple hired people with hands, imagine how awesome their remotes could be.

Cool, the two biggest existential threats to any startup are now merging.

@nprofile1q... they way I fixed Apple Music sync issues was to give up and switch the Plex (which sucks in its own way but will at least play back an MP3 that I provide it)

Looks like Firefox on iOS now obscures the app while app switching, which means that it feels incredible slow. I can't figure out how to turn this off (or why it's even on)

Everything you need to know about how productive LLM-based coding agents make you is that the creators of the two biggest have shipped cross platform Electron turds instead of platform native apps.

Not all the proposed terms are practically usable, but some good advice on speaking accurately about these systems. The graf on hallucinations is easy to paste at your friends who don’t know how these things work.

imo this will not make Ruby better https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/22132

@nprofile1q... I find examples of for comprehensions - including with Scala - to be so contrived and unlike any code I've ever written that I cannot understand why anyone outside of programming language theorists ever even want it.
