marcofiset··on The struggle of resizing windows on macOS Tahoe
Yeah, I don't even remember the last time I resized a window by hand.
marcofiset··on OpenAI declares 'code red' as Google catches up in AI race
Jensen cashed out on a billion dollars. Why would he even care anymore at this point?
marcofiset··on Launch HN: Hyprnote (YC S25) – An open-source AI meeting notetaker
The only issue I have with those tools, and I have not seen a single one even acknowledge this, is that it becomes completely useless when holding meetings in a hybrid fashion where some people are remote and others are in the office with a shared mic.

Almost all of our meetings are hybrid in this way, and it's a real pain having almost half of the meeting be identified as a single individual talking because the mic is hooked up to their machine.

It's a total dealbreaker for us, and we won't use such tools until that problem is solved.

Jail for non-violent crimes? That needs to stop.
marcofiset··on Show HN: CCLeaderboard – See who's burning through the most Claude Code tokens
You can't possibly figure out who's the most effective by looking at token usage only. That makes no sense.
marcofiset··on Show HN: A Minimalist Coffee Bean Rating System Built with Go and Htmx
What are ratings if not the aggregation of many people's personal preference?

Raycast does Window Management, you don’t need Rectangle for that.
marcofiset··on Civet: A Superset of TypeScript
The industry has deemed those languages completely unnecessary when we migrated away from coffeescript.

Syntactic sugar can’t be the only thing that makes a programming language.

marcofiset··on The Fennel Programming Language
There is a plugin to help you do so: https://github.com/Olical/aniseed

Didn't try it myself though.

Of which the vast majority cannot consistently beat index funds.
marcofiset··on How Penelope Fitzgerald became a late blooming novelist
We need to normalize “late-blooming”.

Not everyone needs to achieve success (whatever that means) before their thirties. It seems like the spotlight will always be on the young blood revolutionizing a particular sector.

Most entrepreneurs don’t reach success, or even launch businesses, before being well into their thirties and forties.

marcofiset··on Biden signs TikTok bill into law, starting clock for ByteDance to divest
It’s a mass manipulation tool, controlled by foreign interests.
marcofiset··on I keep a WTF notebook (2021)
The point being is that new hires will bring fresh eyes to an organization, whereas the team in place might be numb to some of the issues.

You don't need a new hire to fix those problems, but it certainly helps shed new light on some problems. Especially if you are hired as a senior dev or a team lead, you will be expected to fix some of those things.

Removing technical debt and improving tooling is often a good way to add value. Sharpening your tools makes you work faster.
marcofiset··on Dynamic Forms with LiveView Streams
LiveView goes far beyond what htmx offers. Or at least makes it much more fully integrated across the whole stack.

htmx is a frontend library first and foremost, that dictates some patterns you may want to implement on the backend. LiveView is a backend-first framework, with excellent support for interactive frontend stuff.

marcofiset··on Dynamic Forms with LiveView Streams
You being unfamiliar with a programming language doesn't make it an ugly mess.
marcofiset··on Don’t open the details in a modal window, have it be a separate page
Phoenix LiveView handles all of those concerns extremely well and pretty much for free. All of my modals are tied to a live action in a given live view. You can bookmark them, use the browser back button to close them and the state "under the modal" is a complete non-issue. It's just loaded as part of the live view and a modal is shown only on specific actions.

That may sound like gibberish if you're not familiar with Phoenix LiveView, but it all makes sense and it just works.

marcofiset··on Bringing the power of AI to Windows 11
Here goes me never using Windows again for anything serious. This is a ticking time bomb of privacy and security issues.
marcofiset··on PornHub blocks users in Utah, cites state’s age verification law
Pretty much. Controlling how those products are sold is better than outright banning them.
marcofiset··on PornHub blocks users in Utah, cites state’s age verification law
Everybody knows that prohibition does not work. People will get their fix any other way.
marcofiset··on Morse, an open-source interactive tool for inspecting Clojure
As long as the tool lives in the ecosystem and is discoverable alongside Clojure, the name isn't an issue at all.
marcofiset··on GPT is all you need for the back end
AI is not the reason why we are doomed. It's the people. It was always the people.
marcofiset··on Elixir – HUGE Release Coming Soon
I don't see how this would be useful.
marcofiset··on Elixir – HUGE Release Coming Soon
Use a `case` in the body of the function. Why do you absolutely need to pattern match in the function header?
marcofiset··on Elixir – HUGE Release Coming Soon
> Also you can't pattern match on a function return value IIRC.

You definitely can. A function return value is just any other value and you can pattern match on it directly, or with the `case` or `with` constructs.

Not sure if intentional but this joke was really good.
marcofiset··on Adobe to acquire Figma for $20B
Figma is an alternative to XD, and it blows it out the water. Not sure what you're trying to say.
marcofiset··on 4-Die Chess
I would've liked an explanation on why each of these rules were added to the game. As an advanced-beginner chess player, most of those new rules add needless complexity to the game and seem to serve absolutely no purpose.

> Each player rolls the die, and the number is the amount of turns each player has.

I'll have to think about this. My knee-jerk reaction was to call this "absolutely ridiculous". It may hold some potential upon further thought.

marcofiset··on 4-Die Chess
I don't know and it's not even possible. One of the kings would need to get next to the other, which is an illegal move.
