scrame··on I Like Makefiles
Dear God! There is something that isn't javascript? Do you know you can it use on the server and the browser!??!
scrame··on I Like Makefiles
Because forcing devs to use tools for one specific format makes a bunch of unhappy devs. Especially if its just forcing them to use make.
scrame··on I Like Makefiles
I'm not sure that using make to run npm is the win the author thinks it is.
scrame··on Leonard Cohen: The Man Who Saw the Angels Fall
just do the greatest hits, and maybe songs of love and hate.
scrame··on Andy Warhol's lost Amiga art found

scrame··on Threat actor abuses Cloudflare tunnels to deliver remote access trojans

because funding wants to go somewhere and headcount is an easy earmark.

scrame··on Twitter is now attention roulette and ultimately meaningless
this is news? social media and promotion algorithms have always been attention roulette for ad dollars, and nothing in that ecosystem has a knowledge of "meaning", just engagement through statistics.
scrame··on Meta Horizon OS
I'm still a little nonplussed. i don't like apple stuff, but did a couple demos at work with the vision elite or whatever its called.

Came away very impressed with the technology, but really didn't like having the damn thing strapped to my head for 15-20 minutes.

it reminds me of getting the original 3ds that could do some cool AR stuff, and could do 3d without glasses, but ultimately was an impressive tech demo that I mostly didnt use.

I already spend too much of my day in front of phones and monitors, I'm not sure if the answer is moving the screens closer to our eyes and shutting out more of the world.

industrial applications for sure can have a niche with this, but as a mass market device I think there's a long way to go, even if the experience looks good.

scrame··on Instagram Threads triples downloads in December, reaching top; X falls to #36
I'm guessing this is a mandatory app install on a new phone.
scrame··on The fall of Firefox: Mozilla's once-popular web browser slides into irrelevance
I'm using Firefox right now. i use Firefox on windows, Linux and android.

i only use chrome when i need to awkwardly cast something i can't do otherwise.

the only stupid thing was when they screwed up their extension policy on mobile and required you to use nightly with a special "bundle" to install stuff like RES.

edit: this is a cnet/zdnet article and probably written by chatgpt from a prompt by the editor.

scrame··on YAML, Python and the Holy Graal
this just seems like a ... bad idea?
scrame··on Bring code from other platforms into the browser
this website needs a seizure warning.
scrame··on Mtn Dew Raid Q&A [pdf]
not really, they would benefit from people being stuck in their chairs and needing to order everything online.
scrame··on Ripgrep 14 Released
so... its grep to ack to ag to rg, is there something next?

scrame··on Grind – A first person shooter for Amiga 500
man, I remember the "chunky vs planar" usenet megathreads when DOOM came out, amazing that it's still producing results 30 years later. I miss my old A500, but not slip/ppp, x/y/zmodem downloads and the terrifying floppy checksum errors.
scrame··on A guy preserving the new history of PC games, one Linux port at a time
yeah but why is it on me to defeat a hostile user experience?

yes and mysql has an enormous install base.
scrame··on CNET is deleting old articles to try to improve its Google Search ranking
cnet got bought by vulture capital a couple years back and already had been replacing writers with crap AI before chatGPT was a thing. this shouldn't be a surprise. everything CNET related has been a walking corpse for a while now.
scrame··on LCD, Please
I saw a guy with one on the train a couple months back. I think a friend got one, too.
scrame··on Decoding base16 sequences quickly
> the first 10 digits are 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

am i missing something?

scrame··on nic.funet.fi: Serving freely distributable files with FTP since 1990
Huh. That's pretty cool. So did you write the first ORM?
scrame··on Ways to shoot yourself in the foot with Redis
I get that, but it also can turn into wiki checklists of things that could be automated.

one of my frustrations of bigco software is people taking basically maintenance roles where the computer tells them what to do, because the lava flow legacy code base is too scary to touch.

however, you can automate your daily clean up tasks. it's certainly shellacking more mud on the ball, but if you're not going to even try scripting your repetitive tasks, then i don't know why you're a programmer.
