jrgd··on Cate v1.0 is out: The Infinite canvas workspace for developers
I would love to have something like this I used itermocil when i was on macos, that was limited to iterm windows. On Linux, I have been playing/exploring with Hypr but without much success so far.
jrgd··on GitHub confirms breach of 3,800 repos via malicious VSCode extension
or a large enough hand
jrgd··on Ploopy Bean: a trackpoint for every computer
I’m using the caps unlocked CU7 every day; that’s how i discovered it : same frustration as yours!

( then i jumped onto otholinear keeb and now I’m not even bothered by apple anymore and run omarchy on a second hand thinkpad. Same excitement as when i got my first powerbook in the early 2000s…)

jrgd··on We are retiring our bug bounty program
it seems we all will slowly learn to live within new contexts; i really appreciate their openness about it and it gives me insights to munch on thanks to you all also to ring in with dev-style annecdotes (i'm stilllearning everyday, and hope to continue for a long time): those big-prs and tactical tornadoes stories are helping keep the crafts and thinking afloat, somehow.
jrgd··on The IBM Granite 4.1 family of models
That thought now reminds me of the ibm accounting machines and their punch cards… Not a great perspective.
jrgd··on The IBM Granite 4.1 family of models
Or trying to… given the performance of this release.

I bet though internal tools are more efficient.

jrgd··on The IBM Granite 4.1 family of models
The few tests i ran i just got Granite4.1 tell me about YOLO repeatedly for no reasons; every questions and prompts were answered with a mention of a vision system unrelated with the task…
jrgd··on Claude Code to be removed from Anthropic's Pro plan?
I find the whole thing a bit sad but you made me smile. Thank you.
jrgd··on France Launches Government Linux Desktop Plan as Windows Exit Begins
Probably just a matter of time, it’s possible the friction will create opportunities. Something in the spirit of iaPresenter, md first would be awesome.

At the moment i have long html page with key event for next and previous, tiny script to check on specif markup for autoscroll.

jrgd··on Obsidian CLI
woop wooooop!
jrgd··on Can I run AI locally?
Brilliant!
jrgd··on Can I run AI locally?
I just did! Warmly encouraging you to try it out! Managed to put Omarchy on an external ssd on my old macbookpro 2019; rarely booting in macos now. Long time i haven’t enjoyed using a computer SO MUCH!
jrgd··on I found the perfect yearly calendar (for me)
I second cal! Also I find bsdmainutils’s calendar quite amazing in its simplicity
jrgd··on Reminders (BSD Calendar and All)
Why i posted this: I'm deeply touched by this extreme simplicity. All you need is a text file and you can get all your incoming events in the terminal. Quite naively and with the help of AI, I'm building a bash script (as a quick proof of concept) to integrate this radical simplicity with some contemporary .ics files. Maybe you get some inspiration from this as well.
jrgd··on Level S4 solar radiation event
Omg i watched this yesterday!
jrgd··on Level S4 solar radiation event
No one would drive to the pub anyway. Better walking back home…
jrgd··on CSS Grid Lanes
With Masonry and using the bin packing algorithm/layout, according to your visual requirements, you can (should?) use a system for sizes for the sizing element and get different widths for the underlying columns of the ‘grid’; ie: if the sizing element is a quarter of base width, you scale down some of the widest image to bring more homogeneity-or on the contrary balance it with some enlarged elements that brings some rythm.

Edit: doc has this first example https://masonry.desandro.com/layout that you could use but have to imagine images to be twice the size, similar to a Müller Brockmann grid

jrgd··on “You should never build a CMS”
> Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading www.sanity.io (see the browser console for more information).

Oh. The irony.

jrgd··on Deafening Silence from the Cybersecurity Industry
Discomfort? Omg :) Yet it’s not taking anything to anyone, it’s not costing them anything and if they don’t feel the need to state pronouns nobody is going to force them to do so… so why refuse a little acceptance to the Other. A while back, some got crucified for having different ideas… Happy Easter to those who celebrate and a happy weekend to all others :)
jrgd··on Acorn – Use Laravel Inside WordPress
I second this; have been using Roots “frameworks” for years now and cant state enough how great this is compared to wordpress-traditional-workflow.

It’s great.

jrgd··on It’s an age of marvels
"It's a bit fiddly because time isn't passing at the same rate for the device as it is for the satellites, but we were able to work it out."

that just knocked my brain down.

jrgd··on The USDA's gardening zones shifted, this map shows you what's changed
and that's the canadian version; for those living up-north and frustrated like me to not be able to see something continent-wide

http://planthardiness.gc.ca/?m=1

i would love to see something for the south as well (just quickly googled) https://davisla.wordpress.com/plant-zones/south-america-plan...

I'm unsure though if they receive an update recently or if they will anytime soon

jrgd··on Meta MTIA v2 – Meta Training and Inference Accelerator
I find it weird that not everyone agree Meta and Facebook and social networks in general are doing some good the the society and our democracies; yet they manage to spend incredible amount of money/energy/time to develop solutions to problems we aren't exactly sure are worth solving…
jrgd··on Microsoft is retiring Visual Studio for Mac in 2024
i once had a fax machine running on emac
jrgd··on Junkyard computing – repurposing discarded smartphones to minimize pollution
> potentially infinite

The moment we run out of rare minerals to build touch screens, there wont be an infinite e-waste problem anymore, unless we find some other fancy uses. It’s a finite resource logic that is needed; that mindset should be adopted globally and there should be a general agreement on how to best manage these finite resources…

jrgd··on Slack is the opposite of organizational memory (2018)
> Somewhere along the way we forgot that interruptions are toxic to real work. It wasn’t always this way. On day 1 of my first trading job the only instruction I received was ‘when the market is open, mute your phone.’ The subtext was ‘or else’. If someone said this to me today I’d give them a hug, and I’m not a hugger.

Muting my phone and its endless alerts: it’s what i do from Monday to Friday; 8am to 6pm.

jrgd··on Airbnb: Banished for an Unleashed Dog
On the limits of automated tasks dealing with contexts/situations.
jrgd··on Adobe to acquire Figma for $20B
wow great they will kill it in so many ways
jrgd··on WikiHouse – Open source, modular, wood based, zero carbon housing
I remember a friend mentioning a client of his with a cnc mounted in a container to work on site (for building projects, similar if not wikihouse). Container could go anywhere the truck would.
jrgd··on ProtonMail Is Down
Seems like it’s not yet completely sorted… despite being impacted, i feel for the guys steering through this outage and bending backward! Good luck guys!
