rramon··on Kidnapped by Deutsche Bahn
No accessible emergency brakes?
rramon··on X210Ai is a new motherboard to upgrade ThinkPad X201/200
Is the X200s (s = low power variant) chassis too different or is it compatible as well?
rramon··on OpenAI acquires Sky.app
It almost seems like OpenAI being a stealth operation by Apple with Altman becoming the new Jobs in an Nextstep like aquisition move.

Ive/Altman.jpg, the focus on Macs, Apples unexplainable AI strategy and getting devs snatched by Meta. Why put up a fight if you already own the biggest player..

rramon··on Now open for building: Introducing Gemini CLI extensions
Do they have a single plan yet for te CLI, assistant and image stuff?
rramon··on A board member's perspective of the RubyGems controversy
Ethnic features = things you can nothing for, same category as skin color.

I was talking about the culture you chose and the stereotypes that go along with it. Stereotypes override ethnic features unless you actually deal with real racists.

DHH might not be street smart enough (like most people in tech) to see through those stereotypes on the streets of London.

Tekin, what makes a Turk less white than a Greek or Spaniard?

If it's cultural (religion, music/sports related subcultures and codes) then it's chosen. Nobody can force you into a subculture in the West. As soon as you turn 18 you can essentially do what you want, most likely even way before that.

You can chose your subculture, how you dress, style your hair, talk and are read by the mainstream society. Actual racists go by skin color and ignore your cultural choices, fuck them.

rramon··on The Sagrada Família takes its final shape
The Cologne cathedral took over 600 years to finish because the original plans got lost along the way. it was paused after 300 years! For the following centuries, many generations only saw the same unfinished state with the crane on top.

rramon··on I feel Apple has lost its alignment with me and other long-time customers
He makes the point that the thinness and lightness have no effect because it's not really pocket friendly because of the size, so you won't get the advantage where it matters most, in your pocket.
rramon··on macOS Tahoe
They went way too far with the corner radii and pill shapes imo, looks like a Fisher Price toy. Some inner buttons retained the old radii and don't match the outer window radii anymore.
rramon··on The Framework Desktop is a beast
Now, but after listening to podcasts with him I think he's someone who would tackle hard stuff like drivers or DSP, so called math genius level coding as soon as it becomes more accessible for him through AI assisted coding.

There is a chance to build a real MacOS/iOS alternatives without a JVM abstraction layer on top like Android. The reason it didn't happen yet is the GPL firewall around the Linux kernel imo.

rramon··on The Framework Desktop is a beast
How long until he clashes with the GPL and discovers the BSDs?
rramon··on GPT-5 leaked system prompt?
OpenAI not sponsoring Tailwind labs like others is a bit embarrassing at this point.
rramon··on Figma will IPO on July 31
I've stopped using it years ago, Figma as well. First I went down the Zettelkasten/Obsidian rabbithole but ended up just using Apple notes. I've ditched Figma too because I was faster with code using design systems and UI components.
rramon··on Figma will IPO on July 31
>I personally think that a key fact that is driving adoption, is that from the very beginning they used a web app instead of going native with a heavy desktop app.

In 2018 I signed up for Figma because of the Notion integration (you can embed Figma frames in Notion), and the generous free tier. Notion took off that year as well and I think both profited from another.

rramon··on Maru OS – Use your phone as your PC
They could sell MacOS as a mobile app subscription like logic Pro for iPads or for one time fee somewhere between $99 - $199, and many would switch from MacMinis I guess.

Pair this with some nice "Vision Air" glasses as a screen replacement..

rramon··on The sad state of font rendering on Linux (2018)
Font rendering isn't the bottle neck on Linux, imo it's the terrible default font choices of distro and desktop environment makers.
rramon··on Cloudflare Introduces Default Blocking of A.I. Data Scrapers
Isn't there a possibility that model makers retaliate by erasing them and their frameworks from memory, hurting CF adoption by devs?
rramon··on Phoenix.new – Remote AI Runtime for Phoenix
They use the Daisy UI component library in 1.8+ Phoenix versions which should have basic accessibility baked in.
rramon··on Phoenix.new – Remote AI Runtime for Phoenix
That's the one.
rramon··on Phoenix.new – The Remote AI Runtime for Phoenix
Thanks for correcting my typo.
rramon··on Phoenix.new – Remote AI Runtime for Phoenix
Very cool. Does it use Phoenix 7 or 8 in the video?
rramon··on Phoenix.new – Remote AI Runtime for Phoenix
Folks on YouTube have used Claude Code and the new Tidewave.ai MCP (for Elixir and Rails) to vibe code a live polling app in Cursor without writing a line of code. The 2hr session is on YT.
rramon··on LLMs pose an interesting problem for DSL designers
Sooner or later languages are going to become 3d diagram to code IDEs where you just zoom in to get to lower levels of detail.
rramon··on Agentic Coding Recommendations
Elixir looks like agood choice as well, folks have recorded a session building a Phoenix web app with Claude Code and it went quite well for them: https://youtu.be/V2b6QCPgFTk
rramon··on Research suggests Big Bang may have taken place inside a black hole
I speculate that the big bang is/was fueled by all the black holes that existed and will exist, like a huge cycle where all the energy sucked into black holes converges at the same point in time causing the big bang.
rramon··on LiveStore: State management based on reactive SQLite and built-in sync engine
Yes, Juce is used to develop DAWs and VST plugins. The way I understand it, LiveStore basically creates a client side loop in the browser comparable to apps you would install and run locally on your device. Having the data (e.g. samples) stored in sqlite within the client side loop would make a huge difference vs. web apps fetching and caching from a backend I assume.
rramon··on LiveStore: State management based on reactive SQLite and built-in sync engine
Do you think it (in combination with React, WASM) could replace something like the Juce framework that most music apps use? I'm a beatmaker myself and would like to get into music apps but found the Juce stuff and C++ always scary.
rramon··on Coding Without a Laptop – Two Weeks with AR Glasses and Linux on Android
Might even use the phone as a trackpad/mouse for other non cli tasks.
rramon··on A standards-first web framework
No auto dark mode on the website (it's easy with modern vanilla CSS) is a bummer. If they miss that, what else are they missing?
rramon··on Who killed the rave?
There are a lot more cool Techno festivals going on though, e.g: https://youtu.be/OCyJNS8frn8

A clubbing lifestyle where you're out every weekend isn't healthy, but festivals on weekends every other month are doable. Society seems much more health aware these days due to social media and the web in general.
