You can just ignore idiots.

Thank you for repeating this advice occasionally. I needed the reminder today.

Nice! I bicycled past y'all on my way to meet family at Wailoa.

Today we’re publishing Brink's 2025 Engineering Impact Report covering the work of the eight Bitcoin Core engineers we funded last year and why we think this work is important. https://brink.dev/bl...

You all rock! Thanks to all of you for another year of fantastic contributions!

When I was younger I read widely but was very much into Tom Clancy, Matthew Reilly et al.. stories that were real or realistic(-ish). Not much sci-fi or high fantasy (although I smashed Harry Potter...

David A. Harding @David A. Harding 1773854662

Rather than a book, I suggest looking for a sci-fi and fantasy book club in your local area. The local club where I live is excellent.

True, I had not even thought of that!!

Yesterday, after 18 months, I started sharing my work on Instagram and Twitter (x) again. The beautiful thing is, I've had almost nothing to do with it. It is my Ai agent "Eve" doing it for me. Ther...

That's awesome! I love that idea.

another pod trying to nerd snipe me into openclaw. although i agree with most stuff discussed in this pod, im just not ready. not today. today i went deep with opencode web and now i just want a pro...

David A. Harding @David A. Harding 1773065051

Haven't heard the pod but I tried OpenClaw and was pretty disappointed. It wasn't that useful without giving it access to all my data and accounts, and I didn't want to do that for privacy, security, and trust reasons. I'm also sticking with my desktop ai tool for now and accessing it from my phone to poke projects along (I'm using tailscale, mosh, and tmux for that).

sudocarlos · 4w

mosh sounds cool. if youre using opencode, try opencode web. the interface is pretty nice and makes it easy to switch between sessions and projects.

Who is using Goose? What are you using it for?

David A. Harding @David A. Harding 1773028277

Been using it for six months as my main ai tool. Top uses have been for research for articles, website customization, and hobby programing. Probably 10 hrs a week, about $300 in OpenRouter credits a month.

I've looked at several alternatives and seriously tried one but none of them so far have been better for me.

Congrats! Thanks for helping build a genuinely useful tool.

Vibecoding idea I don't have time for: Take SQLite's version control system Fossil (where all the code history and issue tracking and a bunch of other stuff live in one sqlite file) and figure out how...

David A. Harding @David A. Harding 1772085128

I've used fossil for my personal projects in the past, it's actually really nice for solo projects or small teams. I can't imagine an agent would have any difficulty even if they had to figure it out entirely from its built in help text.

Justin Moon · 6w

Or even just directly manipulating the SQLite db!

Are you ever so lazy, I mean, efficient, that instead of getting up to check on something across the room, you whip out your phone and use the zoom on the camera to check?

David A. Harding @David A. Harding 1770075981

Yes. I also sometimes use phone zoom to read small text when I'm too lazy to get my glasses or bring the text to proper lighting.

Yeah, after the surprise, I realized it was probably just a link preview issue and I clicked the link. I'm not sure where to file an issue. I was using Amethyst but I assume it was just fairhfully rendering maps dot google dot com. Google was just displaying its default, which is my current location. I'm guessing its just a quirk that I'll have to get used to.

Was super creeped out for a moment. My nostr client showed me a Google maps preview for your link, but rather than showing me the location you pinned, the preview showed my current location. It looked like you were either doxing me or staying in the AirBnB next door.

Maybe file an issue? I've looked at it on amethyst and primal. Amethyst also renders it a bit weirdly, but primal gets it right. To calm your nerves "driebuffelsmeteenskotmorsdoodgeskietfontein" is an afrikaans hyperbole sometimes used to refer to the middle of nowhere, or some outlandish place. I...
