cdaringe··on 40M Americans Live Alone, 29% of households
Exactly. “I love those **holes” is my fond sentiment. I rarely talk to them anymore but we all still consider each other best friends for life
cdaringe··on Xfce is great
I love and use xfce, but it “just works” for me only ~98%. Window snapping dimensions are oft still wrong, i get visual artifacts sometimes , etc. minor issues. With gnome i may not love everything about it, but i change nothing and it does “just work” closer to 99.9+%

Seems like YMMV

cdaringe··on Latest SteamOS Beta Now Includes Ntsync Kernel Driver
Ya masterfully crafted
cdaringe··on Httpz – Zero-Allocation HTTP/1.1 Parser for OxCaml
Interesting parser, fun to read.
cdaringe··on Show HN: Tetris Time
I liked it, mainly at 10x speed. The way it built a 3 was totally cheating! A brick just stopped falling without anything below!

cdaringe··on Wooden compass with single red arrow leads people with dementia to their homes
Id like to see a DIY variant! A couple of radios and homebase software. Could be a fun one to try an emulate.

Something something something built in airtag-like finder?
cdaringe··on How GNU Guile is 10x better (2021)
Definitely some interesting and fun properties. Pretty hard to consider them, in totality, anything close to 10x-ing from the herd.

Software is art. Maybe someone out there somehow gets 10xd from these traits, but highly unlikely

cdaringe··on Is Mozilla trying hard to kill itself?
Tell us more about the web ad based trojan!
cdaringe··on Using LLMs at Oxide
Perhaps, given the target audience and the state of the world, “it goes without saying” applies, or is wrapped up implicitly already thru the mentioned checks and balances (human firmly in the loop, etc etc)
cdaringe··on How I discovered a hidden microphone on a Chinese NanoKVM
> purposely built input stage

You moved your device to the purposely built input stage.

Not an expert, but your remark doesn’t compute with the parent comment

Cool! Have you seen https://camlworks.github.io/dream/

I get OCaml isnt for everybody, but dream is the web framework i wish i knew first

cdaringe··on FAWK: LLMs can write a language interpreter
Fun stuff! I can see also using ICU MFv{1,2} for this, sprinkling in randomization in the skeletons

cdaringe··on GitHub: Git operation failures
There are some pretty zany alternative realities in the Multiverses I’ve visited. Xerox Parc never went under and developed computing as a much more accessible commodity. Another, Bell labs invented a whole category of analog computers that’s supplanted our universe’s digital computing era. There’s one where IBM goes directly to super computers in the 80s. While undoubtedly Microsoft did deliver for many of us, I am a hesitant to say that that was the only path. Hell, Steve Jobs existed in the background for a long while there!
cdaringe··on Linux mode setting, from the comfort of OCaml
Certain parts are unmatched joy. However, some things, as basic as printing arbitrary data types, are annoying, compared to other langs.
cdaringe··on Show HN: Geophone PWA Using Accelerometer
The embedded browser nor brave rldo anything when clicking the install button. Also, the controls dont work by default on view.

Perhaps some device detection improvements are warranted

cdaringe··on Show HN: Wsgrok – one of many ngrok alternatives
Claude is building me sites that look just like this. Similar layout, sim styles, sim icons…
cdaringe··on MAML – A new configuration language
Why is typeless a positive trait? Just due to the simplicity of the matter? What are the sharp edges?
cdaringe··on Show HN: Rift – A tiling window manager for macOS
You cant think of any reason you’d want two windows in a viewport at the same time? Not one?

Go on.
cdaringe··on In the era of "Vibe Coding", when Agents are writing code – what are you doing?
Imagine a job where all you had to do was take requirements and punch out code.

While i expect that to be the case for junior dev positions, it very rapidly is not the case for even entry senior developer roles.

To answer your question, I’m busy solving non coding problems.
