With upcoming mediterranean summer scorch, the idea doesn't sounds that bad at all: go to bed even later, still wake up at dawn, nap at lunch. The only problem is that businesses are closed early morning and late evening.

Agree, I was very surprised to see oil and coal all the way at 20s!

Same here! New Firefox VPN feature comes in really handy here - just toggle it on and the access is back, load the page and turn off again.

How does this compare to Playwwright? It got a similar feature recently [0]

I also recommend Voices from Chernobyl by Svetlana Alexievich, some of people the characters from the book are even present in the TV series.

In VSCode, I use https://github.com/jackiotyu/git-worktree-manager for the same purpose - the extension has before create/before destroy WT hooks which you can run anything from. Mine symlinks workspace file from main checkout, installs packages and copies over some files. Very handy.

I dunno, with advent of Mangaplus I basically stopped reading scanlations, except for a few cases that are not officially available online. Paired with Mihon, the experience is super smooth, all for 2 bucks per month - a very reasonable price. Compare that to Crunchyroll, which has some exclusives I'd like to read, but doesn't offer a good service and costs more - I choose to read something else and maybe download the rips some years later from Madokami.

When implementing an AI feature in a product recently, I noticed a tendency of management to steer towards a limited, well-behaved feature set that straight jackets the underlying model. This resulted in similar experience to what you describe. Maybe this is control and accountability thing? If I were to do this, I'd just slap a bunch of product specific tools (MCP, CLIs, HTTP API wrappers, etc) and skills (how to use those, best practices) with an agent and call it a day - if it can do more but also can fail, that's fine by me. That's why I like the idea of WebMCP more than custom built, limited AI chat interfaces that pop up everywhere nowadays. Just let Claude access everything and dump knowledge into it.

Tried yazi this week and it indeed feels nice, currently trying to maybe move over from Total Commander to yet to have same file manager across OSes.

Some aspects are still not completely ironed out, though. For example, today I discovered that there's no reliable exit hook and plugins have to override hotkeys and resort to various hacks. I had to patch a session saving extension so it kills mpv-based music preview plugin after yazi quits with "q". Kinda rough experience, but at least manageable with plugins in Lua.

Wow that's the demo that featured Little Bitchard's "Choose Zero Polys"! That and Jupiter Sound [0] are one of my favourite demo tunes.

Should people with hearing impairment also avoid walking around?

This should be illegal. Megacorps eat more and more of our life and regular people are increasingly at mercy of these hostile entities. They should be pushed more against. If we can't have proper anti monopoly splits like AT&T, then at least ways to prevent them exerting too much power are long due. If you provide an essential service, responsibility should match that.

Man, I'd buy these in a heartbeat if our local Cyprus regulations allowed for these. Participating in green transition as an immigrant renter sucks.

I recently switched to agent writing my PR and commit messages with skills that mimic me doing the same. Most of the time, it writes exactly what I'd write and if something is off, editing takes less time than writing from scratch.

This came up recently when I asked Claude to adjust indentation and it just couldn't. Such a stupid issue.

They recently put out a new roadmap item to adapt the compiler to modern tools: https://angular.dev/roadmap#developer-velocity . Given the great track record of recent Angular road map deliverables, I think they'll come up with something at least faster than what we have now. Angular already runs on Vite, and the fact that Vite 8 exposes AST level plugin endpoints are good signs. Not waiting 1 minute for unit test suite or `ng serve` cold start would be very welcome indeed.

Compared to generic Serious Sam like maps of TP1, I found beautiful environments of TP2 really added another level of appreciation to the game. Those and the music surface up in my memory couple times a week, very few games had this effect on me - maybe only TES3. The game is magical and I'd love more of that.

Agree, but current agents don't help with that. I use Copilot, and you can't even dump it preserving complete context, including images, tool call results and subagent outputs. And even if you could, you'd immediately blow up the context trying to ingest that. This needs some supporting tooling, like in today's submission where agent accesses terabytes of CI logs via ClickHouse.

The article very much resonates with my experience past several months.

The project I work on has been steadily growing for years, but the amount of engineers taking care of it stayed same or even declined a bit. Most of features are isolated and left untouched for months unless something comes up.

So far, I managed growing scope by relying on tests more and more. Then I switched to exclusively developing against a simulator. Checking changes with real system become rare and more involved - when you have to check, it's usually the gnarliest parts.

Last year's, I noticed I can no longer answer questions about several features because despite working on those for a couple of months and reviewing PRs, I barely hold the details in my head soon afterwards. And this all even before coding agents penetrated deep into our process.

With agents, I noticed exactly what article talks about. Reviewing PR feels even more implicit, I have to exert deliberate effort because tacit knowledge of context didn't form yet and you have to review more than before - the stuff goes into one ear and out of another. My team mates report similar experience.

Currently, we are trying various approaches to deal with that, it it's still too early to tell. We now commit agent plans alongside code to maybe not lose insights gained during development. Tasks with vague requirements we'd implicitly understand most of previously are now a bottleneck because when you type requirements to an agent for planning immediately surface various issues you'd think of during backlog grooming. Skill MDs are often tacit knowledge dumps we previously kept distributed in less formal ways. Agents are forcing us to up our process game and discipline, real people benefit from that too. As article mentioned, I am looking forward to tools picking some of that slack.

One other thing that surprised me was that my eng manager was seemingly oblivious to my ongoing complains about growing cognitive load and confusion rate. It's as if the concept was alien to them or they could comprehend that other people handle that at different capacity than them.

Honor culture is what happens when there's no reliable institutions or evidence, so people have to defend reputation themselves - usually with retaliation and interpersonal violence. Always-on cameras are the opposite idea: enforcement moves outside the individual, which is basically how honor cultures stop being a thing.

The Quantum Thief series by Hannu Rajaniemi depicts a society where the protection point in "smart glasses" is addressed by making shared info opt-in and handling that centrally (vulnerability of which is a major plot point), so people see a non-distinct blob instead of a person if they don't have access. There's more to it in the books, but I won't spoil, I highly recommend reading these instead.

I sure hope it doesn't, though. Or at least gets severally reformed to not be as severe as nowadays.

I experience this all the time and UX is absolutely one of culprits here. The workaround works, but UI doesn't nudge you to adjust the value, it just throws an opaque error. It's so obvious to me that even such a simple thing as saying "Try smaller radius" would make things more obvious, or even better - have a button in that error to "Set radius to largest valid". Saying that "but it's cause by OpenCascade" is a thought-stopping cop out. If there's a manual workaround trick, you can always integrate that into UI, but not doing so is a choice.

MJ is awesome, but I recently discovered this another treasure trove of a YT channel that has only 5k subscribers and covers topics MJ has less focus on, like reverse engineering or surfaces: https://www.youtube.com/@DuyQuangDang/videos

I think it would be really cool to have a Windows 98 running in browser and an agent to proxy all interaction to real desktop and web:

* It proxies web sites and optinally modifies them to look era-appropriate.

* It can generate missing native apps as shims to apps on your host or web sites. Like, cmd that's actually a pwsh. Or VSCode that looks like Borland C++ Builder.

* Streaming media like Bandcamp or Spotify inside a real WinAmp 2.x.

FYI greek has a good introductory course by Language Transfer, from which you can graduate to textbooks (available from rutracker) and ChatGPT for practice and OCR. I also maintained decent retention by converting everything I learned into Anki cards. Living in a greek-speaking country helps, but only when you are forced to communicate in EL or when you explicitly ingest new words/phrases from what you read around. Before that, I used Duolingo for the same purpose, had issues keeping the streak up and understanding the material (this was early ChatGPT era, though).
