dagi3d··on Leaving DigitalOcean, one site at a time
Considering the multiple rounds of layoffs they have gone through, can't imagine how former employees must feel seeing how they decide to commit for $3M, which in imho has a more than questionable ROI.
dagi3d··on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27
I definitely wanted to skip Tahoe by any means and was reluctant about this new version. I recently installed it because the wm I was using (omniwm) wasn't compatible with Tahoe anymore so I had to choose. I have to say it has been completely usable to me after reducing the liquid glass thing as much as the system allows.
dagi3d··on New Mac mini, featuring M6 and M5 Pro
At least in the UK, that's exactly what they're doing right now. They're allowing pre-orders, with shipping on Sept 22.
dagi3d··on 200 Milliseconds
I remember prior de AI era, it was a common pattern to for some delay in the answers to make it feel more "human"
dagi3d··on Marimo now runs in PyCharm
mind elaborate?
dagi3d··on Nintendo has raised its employees base salary by 10%
I recently watched a video game journalist speaking about this(chicocartera from Eurogamer): apparently this raise happened in 2023. There was an official transcription from an investors meeting at that time where this was covered. It seems there are some subtleties in the translation which could lead to think it happened recently.
dagi3d··on Qualcomm to Acquire Modular
According to their website, yes it will be opensourced soon
dagi3d··on How we run Firecracker VMs inside EC2 and start browsers in less than 1s
Obviously don't know what percentage represents "legit" use cases vs other more morally questionable, but in our case we have a cms where content team can include external links and we need to verify periodically whether those links work or not, which is not as easy as making get requests with a client.
dagi3d··on Why is almost everyone right-handed? A new study connects it to bipedalism
I am right handed but left handed for some very specific things such as playing pool or hockey
dagi3d··on UK sovereign LLM inference
It depends on who you ask
dagi3d··on UK sovereign LLM inference
what's preventing you from going to their website? op has linked directly to the documentation, so that info is not necessary expected to be there
dagi3d··on Guy Goma's Accidental BBC Interview Lives on After 20 Years
Did he eventually get the job he was initially applying?
dagi3d··on Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX
does that mean this data center was way overprovisionedo or that grok is barely used and they could potentially kill it and just use claude?
dagi3d··on A couple million lines of Haskell: Production engineering at Mercury
That's pretty interesting. I was thinking about starting a new pet project and was considering doing it in Rust to learn as I never tried anything with it and after some small pocs I had the feeling it was too verbose to my taste, but wasn't sure it was just me and/or my lack of experience with Rust. Still, wonder if it's still worth it to give a shot considering other positive elements of the language.
dagi3d··on Niri 26.04: Scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor
this. I really enjoyed the Niri approach when I discovered it and missed something similar for my mac. This is the best implementation I have tested so far, and while there are definitely some quirks, at least in my case I feel it completely usable as a daily driver(love the tabbed columns) kudos to maintainer and contributors
dagi3d··on John Ternus to become Apple CEO
not only Safari, several other apps such as Music (which also has several annoying quirks) never understood why they did not get their own lifecycle if they have dedicated teams for each of those apps
dagi3d··on GitHub backs down, kills Copilot pull-request ads after backlash
And what about the companies that thought that advertising (sorry, suggesting) their product through this channel was a good idea?
dagi3d··on Cocoa-Way – Native macOS Wayland compositor for running Linux apps seamlessly
agree. I guess it's a force of habit, but I am so used to the cmd+<whatever> (specially copy & paste) shortcuts, that I configured them into my linux desktop to behave the same way
dagi3d··on Throwing away 18 months of code and starting over
sorry, still don't get no tests as an excuse to go faster. obviously ymmv, but you will need to test your implementation somehow, and manual testing usually takes more time than running your automated tests. no need to over test, but definitely tests doesn't mean it will slow you down, unless you don't know how to test, which in that case, that's totally up to you.
dagi3d··on macOS Tahoe windows have different corner radiuses
I am in the same boat. I would like to buy a new m5, but being forced to keep Tahoe is preventing me to get it until they fix this clusterfuck
dagi3d··on Redox OS has adopted a Certificate of Origin policy and a strict no-LLM policy
they already have...
dagi3d··on Querying 3B Vectors
Using something like duckdb could help in scenarios like this one?
dagi3d··on Ghostty – Terminal Emulator
also, from not that long time ago, you can change the focus of panes and you can tell it to respect the zoom state if you want, which is super convenient
dagi3d··on Tell HN: YC companies scrape GitHub activity, send spam emails to users
> how much bureaucracy would be involved... it varies from country to country, but filling a complaint on that matter is usually quite straightforward
dagi3d··on Hetzner Prices increase 30-40%
Why are they increasing the prices on already existing infrastructure? Is that a way to "subsidize" the new purchases?
dagi3d··on The path to ubiquitous AI (17k tokens/sec)
wonder if at some point you could swap the model as if you were replacing a cpu in your pc or inserting a game cartridge
dagi3d··on Tailscale Peer Relays is now generally available
Acquisition cost can definitely be calculated. I'm pretty sure they know how many customers do convert into paying users from their free tier and how much does it cost to get them through other channels
dagi3d··on Modern CSS Code Snippets: Stop writing CSS like it's 2015
yeah, Tailwind feels to me like a "write-only" solution.
dagi3d··on Homeland Security Wants Social Media Sites to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts
Fearing the consequences doesn't make you a complicit but a victim. Sure there will be people who will take a more brave/difficult stance, but can't blame others for not doing so, we don't know they'd put at stake.
dagi3d··on Resizing windows on macOS Tahoe – the saga continues
I had similar thought but didn't want to be that guy.
