Rekordbox/serato this is not.
LeSaucy··on Show HN: Juggler – an open-source GUI coding agent, by the creator of JUCE
For running headless is it possible to not require installing libwebkitgtk-6.0.so.4
LeSaucy··on RIP Low-Code 2014-2025
My favorite part of "low code" was the conciseness of conveying what the process was and the expected outcome.
LeSaucy··on Meta is using the Linux scheduler designed for Valve's Steam Deck on its servers
Still the king but developing/testing/debugging group policy issues is a miserable experience.
LeSaucy··on Qt, Linux and everything: Debugging Qt WebAssembly
I wish licensing restrictions weren't holding back more widespread adoption of qt wasm.
LeSaucy··on Kubernetes Is Your Private Cloud
Ive found nomad to be a much simpler replacement for smaller scale deployments.
LeSaucy··on The C++ programmer and educator Rainer Grimm has passed away
We lost a good one.
LeSaucy··on We rewrote the Ghostty GTK application
I'll take QObject over GObject any day of the week.
LeSaucy··on Belkin ending support for older Wemo products
This is why any piece of automation that comes into my home is required to function without internet or an app, in its own private vlan.
LeSaucy··on Using an $8 smart outlet to avoid brainrot
IKEA remotes are inexpensive and work really well with a proper zigbee adapter and zigbee2mqtt. Home assistant you can build actions right from the web ui.
LeSaucy··on MacBook Air M4
M series mac's are my dream c++ development machines. Just this week I was investigating some potential bugs in Qt's javascript engine and I was recompiling it from source across multiple tags to bisect. On my i9 mac I would compile Qt overnight, on my m3 pro it takes about 10 minutes, on battery, silently. Truly remarkable.
LeSaucy··on Windows Is Free for Business (2008)
One time payment for affinity photo/designer and couldn't be happier not to deal with Adobe's subpar software and all that comes with it.
LeSaucy··on Show HN: Ocal – AI Calendar That Schedules Assignments for You
C's get degrees was some of the best academic advice i ever received.
LeSaucy··on Ozempic increases risk of debilitating eye condition: studies
Interesting synchronicity of seeing this article. I just had an optometrist appointment this morning and my glasses prescription updated/renewed. The only medication I am on is Ozempic for weight management, ~8 months, lost ~40 lbs so far. My old prescription was -1.75 / -1.0 (about 5 years ago), and my new one is -0.5, -0.5. My optometrist said it was unusual but likely due to having blood glucose under control as it changes the blood pressure and shape of your eyes slightly.
LeSaucy··on Ask HN: What are your most regretted tech purchases?
Shokz OpenSwim Pro. Waited for years for these to come out. The jump from 4GB -> 32GB sounds great, until I found out that whatever decoder chip they are using doesnt support folders. So you are expected to put 32gb of mp3's on the device (since bluetooth doesnt work under water when swimming), and then navigate file by file. Insanity.
LeSaucy··on Shaving is too expensive
Lots of room for skin types to play here, I found that Astra blades were the least likely to nick and cause irritation. If I am in a rush I can even use them dry (with the grain only!).
LeSaucy··on Oscar, an open-source contributor agent architecture
Very interesting to see if they are successful, and/or if this type of maintainer load reducing could be adapted to something like ubuntu/debian where maintaining packages is quite time consuming.
LeSaucy··on MeTube: Self-hosted YouTube downloader
I have an ios shortcut I use to "share" a url to metube for background download.
LeSaucy··on Ly: Display Manager with Console UI
Appears to be a replacement for gdm that is console based (picking and launching your graphical desktop environment). A neat idea, I don't think this has been done before.
LeSaucy··on Sonos changes terms and conditions and may now pass on data to third parties
I turn old mini pcs into airplay 2 receivers with https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync , using wired Ethernet multi room playback worked like a charm.

Debian is rock solid platform, I never have to tinker once they are setup. Depending on the speakers and what location I use USB dacs and speaker amps(these have gotten SO good in the last 5 years, topping, smsl etc). All of the pieces are interchangeable , flexible, and reusable.

LeSaucy··on What's New in Neovim 0.10
I refuse to pay a subscription for a terminal app.
LeSaucy··on What's New in Neovim 0.10
I am curious if any of the termsync options can make neovim play nicely with mosh. My dream setup is to be able to spin up preconfigured dev environments in docker containers, and use blink shell on my iPad for on the go coding. Unfortunately mosh and neovim always end up with display corruption.
LeSaucy··on Speeding up C++ build times
I use c++ on the daily and find that ccache and an m1/2/3 cpu go a very long way to reducing build times.
LeSaucy··on Juno – A YouTube Client for Vision Pro
Talented developer for sure, but has a knack for developing software that piggy backs of silicon valley giants that can turn off access at a moments notice.
LeSaucy··on Windows 11 struggling to escape the shadow of Windows 10
Newer CPUs with performance and efficiency cores require 11 for proper scheduling.
LeSaucy··on What has changed in CPU cores in M3 chips?
I just switched from 16" 2019 i9 -> 16" M3 pro and 2 weeks later still stunned at how amazing of a machine it is. I do a lot of c++ dev for $dayjob and my current project which took 1m45s to full rebuild on i9 is down to ~25s on m3. Without a fan turning on or barely getting warm. Its _magical_. I still get caught off guard by the chassis being cold when first placed on my lap.
LeSaucy··on Cooperative C++ Evolution – Toward a TypeScript for C++
Qt?
LeSaucy··on Apple unveils M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max
OK they got me, time to upgrade off my i9 MacBook Pro.
LeSaucy··on Paperless-ngx – Open source document management system
It’s not free/oss, and it’s on the Apple ecosystem, but DEVONTHINK does a fantastic job of this, and supports storing all of your documents in a webdav store which you can host yourself. It uses Aabbyy fine reader for ocr which I have found to provide better results than tensorflow based ocr.
