For any small team wanting to try Copilot, heed my warning that you will waste hours navigating their billing settings using various out-of-date documentation. Long story short, I finally got an email from them saying that "Copilot Business is available for teams purchasing 10 or more licenses". This is undocumented but other people are reporting the same: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/199346

We're sticking with Cursor for now, using Kimi as our daily driver (branded as "Composer").

For anyone wondering, you can use Aerospace purely as a workspace switching solution without the tiling: https://www.boronine.com/2025/02/09/Instant-Workspace-Switch...

You can literally download a file called LineageOS_on_arm64.utm from the Releases page, drag and drop it into UTM and it Just Works. I've been looking for this holy grail for years.

(Seems that the bulk of the work is done by some heroes in the LineageOS community: https://wiki.lineageos.org/utm-vm-on-apple-silicon-mac)

I went down this rabbit hole before, you have to ignore all the recommended approaches. The real solution is to have a build server with a global Docker install and a script to prune cache when the disk usage goes above a certain percentage. Cache is local and instant. Pushing and pulling cache images is an insane solution.

Wow, this might be the best use of HSLuv so far, I'm going to add it to the examples page https://www.hsluv.org/examples/

I also used yabai for this purpose but found a solution that doesn’t require messing with security: https://www.boronine.com/2025/02/09/Instant-Workspace-Switch...

I had some success experimenting with this: https://github.com/boronine/the-landing-pad#modeling-a-secti...

This is the correct answer. Pro-tip: use Django admin as a user facing interface in your prototype, then you won’t even need to write HTML templates, let alone client-side JS.

I have been using AeroSpace for this purpose for over a year. I simply disable all the tiling features in the config and only use two shortcuts: switch to workspace and move current window to workspace. It's absolutely essential when working on a small screen.

AeroSpace does indeed suffer from a performance issue but this appears to be inherent to the available macOS APIs: https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace/issues/131

The way you reproduce it is open Factorio.app and quickly switch between workspaces while the game is loading.

FlashSpace seems to suffer from this problem as well based on a quick test.

With regards to configuration, I think it's cumbersome to configure shortcuts per workspace. In AeroSpace, every letter and number on the keyboard is automatically a workspace and shortcuts are global.

All that said, this is a fantastic tool and I would prefer a tool like this that addresses the pain of macOS workspaces as its primary goal rather than being part of a tiling window manager.

EDIT: After more testing it appears that FlashSpace does not support having different windows of the same app on different workspaces, this is a dealbreaker for my workflow :(

Oh looks like we misunderstood each other. The fact is that h2tunnel is not using SSH, because my goal was a minimal Node.js native solution. So I had to look for a built-in alternative for multiplexing and found HTTP2.

SSH does some kind of lower-level multiplexing. Multiplexing is unavoidable here because the local server must maintain simultaneous TCP connections that must be somehow distinguished between each other whereas the tunnel is just a stream of binary data.

Let me know how to goes! And watch for an update this week. I'm writing thousands of lines of tests to iron out all the event handling quirks in case of bad network conditions etc. I want to make it rock solid.

I was able to keep my code small by leveraging existing protocols: TLS for authentication and HTTP2 for multiplexing, stuffing simultaneous HTTP1 requests onto a single TLS-encrypted tunnel socket.

Hopefully I'll make it on the hall of fame [1] :)

I think most of this is covered by a good Decimal API, currency stuff probably shouldn't be embedded into a language because it changes: currencies come and go, get redenominated etc. Although one simple thing that would be useful is keeping track of abstract units, e.g. throwing an error when attempting to do 10 USD + 10 EUR.

I am happily using a few other AWS services for this project, provisioned by CDK. I thought I could simplify things my getting rid of Heroku altogether but this turned out to be an incredibly frustrating rabbit hole with no solution in sight. Unless I’m missing something obvious, it seems that Amazon is incapable of this seemingly easy task.

I should have mentioned in my original post that my web server also has a background process which needs to be a singleton. I could split it off into a separate container, but this will require a third container because they need a shared cache that's used for rate limiting. At that point I have little to gain vs. just running a single "web" dyno on Heroku.

What kind of isolation do you need? We are building our own code so I don't see the need for isolation beyond a clear directory.

I've spent days trying all of these solution at my company. All of these solutions suck, they are slow and only successful builds get their layers cached. This is a dead end. The only workable solution is to have a self-hosted runner with a big disk.

That DMARC link talks about "From: rewriting" with a similar example using "via". I suppose this addresses the "spoofing" part of my question, thanks! I would still like to know more about this practice in transactional emails.

To be clear, I find IntelliJ extremely fast, surprisingly so in fact. I was only looking for alternatives out of curiosity.

Very interesting, I'm going to test this. Seems that Rust is the best supported language?

I just want a headset for normal work. Imagine being able to travel with your 4K monitor.

Maxima enabled me to make my color space [HSLuv](https://www.hsluv.org/). I encoded CIELUV <-> RGB transformation functions into Maxima, ran `solve` and converted the output back into code. It's great to be able to commit [Maxima code](https://github.com/hsluv/hsluv/tree/master/math) into your repository and not leave the math as an "exercise to the reader".

After finding out about this yesterday I started experimenting with using Amazon SES to do custom domain email. Sending can be accomplished using SES-generated SMTP credentials, but receiving is not straightforward.

Here is my script to receive SES emails from S3 to a local maildir folder that can be opened with mutt: https://gist.github.com/boronine/661fd24ba6671f687ff714969d9...

Not very convenient but quite private and virtually free.

EDIT: I am using rclone, but you can also use awscli or boto3

You can probably make that work, just have to be careful deleting from S3, make sure to only delete those emails you imported and not accidentally delete an email that arrived during the import process.

My personal setup makes heavy use of rclone so I used that instead of awscli:

https://gist.github.com/boronine/661fd24ba6671f687ff714969d9...

EDIT: Wanting a minimal implementation, I instead made a script:

1. List email files in S3

2. For each file, download into a local maildir-style directory, then delete original

3. Use `mutt -f ./maildir` to browse

Thanks! Your solution may be best for usability. Researching further I found another solution that is perhaps best for privacy: https://github.com/markushinz/aws-ses-pop3-server

SES -> S3 -> aws-ses-pop3-server -> desktop client with POP3 and SMTP

Using this option, email is only really usable from a single device, but it avoids sharing private emails with yet another cloud, especially a free cloud that would share email with advertisers.

I've heard that it's possible to strike a balance by self-hosting incoming email and outsourcing outgoing email to Amazon SES. SES provides SMTP credentials which should be fairly straightforward to use. Anyone has experience with this kind of setup?

No real reason. I was hoping people would pass the link around as something of a gag, but I didn't get much traffic when I shared it, so it's in maintenance mode now.
