Either they email me as a test, or the person who emailed me has let me know his real email. In one case, I texted the guy because documents were sensitive and contained his cell.

I have a canned reply to these to try to get them fixed, so there’ve been many opportunities for someone to communicate back.

As others said, this post is wrong. I’m another owner of first.last/firstlast since 2004. There was never a period where Google got the dots wrong.

People will forget their middle initial in their email (or others won’t notice it), or they’ll add firstlast as a recovery email or something.

Receiving other people’s email never stops being funny to me. Some of them are grumpy about it (especially the one who paid for and distributed “thousands” of poorly designed business cards.)

More have a sense of humor, and I’ve enjoyed getting to know a few of the other guys with the name over the years.

I don't find many to ask for too many permissions relative to what they do. There are many Slack apps people want, that necessarily need a lot of permissions, to the point where maybe people shouldn't want that app, but that's a different issue.

Calling out some specific popular extensions that overreach for permissions would be a nice addition or followup to your post.

You’d have the same issue as you’d need to be able to verify that your last vote was being counted, for displaying your vote back to you to have any value.

A scheme to be able to show coercive parties fake votes would be known to them immediately.

I hadn't read it until now. Interesting find! I wonder why he chose that title as the teleology of I Cor 13:12 seems straightforward.

Through a glass darkly, if you will. :)

Current was just a vibe-coded thing that blew up about a month before people started to become inured to the Claude Code look. The essay was intriguing but the app wasn’t like it. The app is essentially a standard RSS clone reader with water-themed names for folders, feeds, etc.

(I paid for Current to try it when it came out.)

Good retraction. The plagiarism part further down in the article shouldn't be missed. The developer has significant character issues.

Somehow I doubt that. :) Appreciate the whole package of posts as a performance, though.

Can you explain the screenshot a little more? It just looks like you’re comparing the output of a chatbot and Claude Code about a log file. If it’s a metaphor, it went over my head, sorry!

That’s a good observation. I think it’s where their heads are facing. Two conversationalists face each other or face the room, but talk quietly with body language that suggests they’re conversing (heads tilted, leaning.)

Someone talking on the phone but facing away from the room isn’t usually considered rude, either.

In a waiting room or train car, if you’re sitting and talking on the phone or Zoom, you’re broadcasting into the room with your posture. Your voice tends to broadcast as well with no wall or other conversant as an immediate barrier.

Sure thing! https://github.com/michaeldhopkins/a11y-review

Specifically about accessible websites: I’m a web developer. At the request of a designer I work with, I spent a couple hours making a Claude skill that would run through WCAG AA and AAA, check contrast, screen reader experience etc. Since then, we’ve caught many little issues and a few big ones like adding a parallel screen reading element for a visually-oriented search tool. Building and testing the skill gave me better insight into WCAG, too.

I auto-run the skill when certain changes are detected in a branch and it takes just a few minutes. Recommended if your work shows up in browsers.

You’re not alone. Most people know a funny person, and someone good with numbers, but it’s less often the same person. You could analyze that with the techniques from the article. :)

What do you expect might change between the preliminary and the final report?

What leads you to say that? Capex is typically budgeted.

It used to be relatable, for nerds (like me.) Now the second two are 45 minute chat sessions in the eyes of most, I suppose.

Yes, but you can't, for example, transfer momentum vectors through zellij to the app.

If the app is offering what appears to be momentum, it's implemented its own acceleration/deceleration algorithm. That's a lot to ask of an app, and they aren't equally good.

Detecting a wide range of underlying terminal support for a CLI app is a pain and prone to errors/drift.

There are various plugins that attempt to solve this, but it'd be nice for someone to solve it once and for all, and then upstream those layers into open source as this project is promising to do.

You are missing out a bit, but stay content. :)

Multiplexers have a lot of little papercuts and limitations when you want consistent and native-to-the-OS behavior to flow all the way between the OS and the apps and connections in the multiplexers. For example, gesture scrolling in a tmux/zellij pane is hard because the right events don't flow through. It's an itch to scratch like designing a good terminal lib (like ghostty.)

And then, there's all the unifying and smoothing out of data connections--I imagine they'll be a lot to make sure that, e.g., an ssh session or a Claude code session in a pane can be seamlessly reconnected or never drop when the pane is closed. This takes a lot of hacking to make look seamless in most setups right now.

Like mitchell, I write a lot of software around multiplexers, and I've thought about making something similar, but I don't have quite the same level of personal wealth or angel investor connections. :)

herdr and mosh are a couple of reference points for this, there are others.

I’d enjoy working with such a person, a bleak Eeyore-Gilfoyle.

It’s a neat proof of concept, but it’s hard to see the organizations that care about certified documents adopting this. Inherently conservative. Let’s Encrypt invested a lot in their early partnerships and used that to sneak up on the conservative buyers and trusters of certs.

Still the same leaves in the gutter, sadly, once they blow past the panels.

Interesting; what was on the panels? What was the ROI on paying the guy?

Appreciate the attempts to quantify it. I haven't tried to quantify washing, but I do look at mine regularly. I doubt anything accumulates that rain doesn't handle well enough.

Messing around with ground panels is lower risk and safer than roof panels where tool extenders and ladders start to become involved. If you have roof panels, you are the biggest danger to your panels (and yourself.) Don't try to clean them, spray them, knock snow off of them. I was told this multiple times by my installer. :)

You do see that ratio in, for example, business Internet service. You’ll get a month’s credit immediately upon asking if they can also see the brief outage. Even typically awful Comcast was good about this. However, as you note, in exchange, you’ve probably signed a two or three year agreement with them and you’d owe the balance if you canceled early.

“Nothing” can easily be understood as a rhetorical emphasis in that quote.

- Anyone can edit it

- Less training; org probably has someone who’s used Wordpress before. (Yes, training. You must deal with the reality of the typical user.)

- In the developing group or agency, anyone can work on the theme if you install a theme builder. An agency can put a cheaper content marketer or designer on it, rather than a developer.

It’s pretty easy to catch someone fumbling with incognito if you can suddenly enter a room. (Not that it wouldn’t also be easy to catch someone clicking this button.)

It's both poor substance and style, in most cases (and this case.)

Pointing out they generated it at least encourages them to write a shorter article that says what they meant.

Sure; this isn’t my first account either. I did ask for forgiveness for the assumption!
