00deadbeef··on Show HN: boringBar – a taskbar-style dock replacement for macOS
I leave it there because I have a large screen and it looks pretty
00deadbeef··on MacBook Neo
But the Mac has a huge trick up its sleeve: it can run iOS and iPadOS apps. Meaning developers only have to make relatively minor adjustments to make it nice in the desktop and bin off the electron app on Mac.

> I wouldn’t even care about the 8GB of ram if I could just add some myself.

I think that’s pretty unreasonable when they’re using an iPhone SoC to keep it cheap because they have massive volume. It was only ever available in 8GB and never designed for user upgradable memory because it’s for a phone.

Opus 4.5 successfully ignored the first line of my CLAUDE.md file last week
00deadbeef··on Claude Opus 4.6 extra usage promo
Yeah it's way too vague.

This morning: (new chat) 42 seconds of thinking, 20 lines of code changed in 4 files = 5% usage

Last night: 25 minutes of thinking, 150 lines of code generated in 10 new files = 7% usage

00deadbeef··on Time Machine-style backups with rsync (2018)
It does make an actual copy but then it builds a directory structure that you can browse by date (like Time Machine). That directory contains hard links so only one copy of a file is ever backed up but you see contents that match the date of the backup.

Reminds me of a tool I used to use that did a similar thing: https://github.com/jeremywohl/glastree

00deadbeef··on Creators of Tailwind laid off 75% of their engineering team
Tailwind CSS is free and funded by extras like Tailwind Plus.

HTML and CSS are free to use but the W3C is funded by membership fees.

00deadbeef··on Look at how unhinged GPU box art was in the 2000s (2024)
It wasn't just the art, but the boxes themselves. I remember buying this GPU which came in an X-shaped box: https://www.amazon.nl/-/en/First-NVidia-GeForce-128MB-Graphi...

It's not DNS

There's no way it's DNS

It was DNS

00deadbeef··on Introducing Stargate UK
Green energy like the world’s largest offshore windfarms which are in the UK? Or the SMRs Rolls-Royce are developing?

Chips like those designed by Arm that can be found in almost everything these days?

AI like DeepMind?

You can turn off that "feature" with the "Quiet Mode" toggle on the top right
00deadbeef··on I wish my web server were in the corner of my room (2022)
It's not that expensive everywhere. In the UK I can get 1000/1000Mbps for £29 a month, and 8000/8000Mbps for £99 a month.

Cloudflare lets you create tunnels for free which will keep your site online when the IP changes. This will also hide your IP as your DNS entry will be pointed to Cloudflare.

I usually wait 6 months, but this time I plan to skip the release altogether

Everything I've seen of it looks a disaster. I'll wait for macOS 27.
00deadbeef··on iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max
Or it could be like the white iPhone 4... delayed because of problems with the finish.

It's obvious to anyone given the radical new design that you have an iPhone 16 Pro or not. That's not the reason for removing black. They'd have removed silver for the same reason if it was.

Some people don't use cases
00deadbeef··on GPT-5
Is anyone else having problems with factual correctness? I had a number of 4o and o3 conversations going and those models were factually correct about a number of different subjects.

Asking GPT-5 about the same things results in wrong answers even though its training data is newer. And it won't look things up to correct itself unless I manually switch to the thinking variant.

This is worse. I cancelled my subscription.

I found it simple enough. There’s a “browse anonymously” button after the eccentric terms.
00deadbeef··on Tailscale has raised $160M
I like Tailscale and we pay for it at work but it has a number of serious bugs that affect our work that they seem to lack the resources to fix. Hopefully this helps.
00deadbeef··on App Should Have Been a Website (and Probably Your Game Too)
> My favourite thing about using a website? It can't send me attention grabbing notifications. It can't harass me for perms.

But it works the same as for apps. You get prompted once on iOS at least. You either opt in for notifications or you don’t. There’s no difference.
