A daily meditation "instrument". I'm a big fan of Waking Up but I've kinda outgrown the catalogue. I know what to do now. I just need a timer and a couple of prompts...

gpt-5.6-sol x XHIGH is my favourite

"Coding is largely solved"

Claude Code and/or Codex from Ghostty/Terminal. You don't need to complicate it.

I'm not sure what this has to do with my comment? D1 is pretty much sufficient on it's own...

I think you'd be surprised to learn how many real production apps are actually running on top of SQLite (by way of Cloudflare D1).

This is like the anti-Cybertruck. But in a funny horseshoe kinda way the exact same as the Cybertruck?

I still do this for my dog every year on his birthday. Funny that the Pet Store survived the Internet while the Toy Store did not...

I don't understand UBI.

Let's say a burger costs $10. Then UBI is implemented. But not just like $1K/month UBI... $1M/year UBI... for everyone! There's no way that the burger is still $10 now. Right?

Won't the economy just soak up all the extra UBI money? So a burger will cost $1000 in world where everyone gets $1M/year? And like $20 when everyone gets $1K/month? Isn't it all just a wash?

Looks a lot like Swift! Awesome!

There are literally 1000s of these types of apps. Why is this on the Front Page?

StumbleUpon?

Can anyone get LinkedIn>English working? Nothing I've found and pasted in has seemed to work... just spits back out the original

For those unaware, Claude Code comes with a built in /insights command...

Favourite books of the year:

"When the Moon Hits Your Eye" - John Scalzi

"Making History" - K.J. Parker

"Let Dogs be Dogs" - Monks of New Skete

"The First Gentleman" - Bill Clinton (it's actually fun!)

"The Thinking Machine" - Stephen Witt

I thought Volvo was publicly traded. Had to look it up.

Volvo Group - sells trucks - publicly traded - Swedish

Volvo Cars - sells cars - not publicly traded - 100% owned by Geely (Chinese)

Volvo Cars ≠ Volvo Group

My flow (with legacy software) is: manual strip > LLM > manual clean up > repeat

If your iOS project has more than 700 files... you might be doing it wrong?

So 120B was Horizon Alpha and 20B was Horizon Beta?

Would highly recommend listening to the latest Hard Fork podcast with Matthew Prince (CEO, Cloudflare): https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/podcasts/hardfork-age-res...

I was skeptical about their gatekeeping efforts at first, but came away with a better appreciation for the problem and their first pass at a solution.

I think the question to ask about your two scenarios: in which is it faster and cheaper to get from v1 to v2? From v2 to v3? I think, for right now, it's cheaper under scenario B. But in the future? Who knows!

I haven't seriously used R in nearly a decade but I still miss (and think about) dpylr and the hadleyverse...

A few years ago I made a package called "redframes" that tried to "solve" all of my frustrations with pandas, make data wrangling feel more like R, while retaining all the best bits of Python...

Alas, it never really took off. For those curious: https://github.com/maxhumber/redframes

Is this "kingfall"?

As in: "JSON was a huge deal, and this could also be a huge deal" or "Just use JSON"?

Dusting off the game I made during the pandemic and trying to actually grow the player base in earnest.

It's turn-based two-player game sorta like chess, but the pieces take up multiple spaces.

Scenario: A Canadian tech worker (software engineer) has been working in tech for 10-ish years, however, their University degree (general BA, BSc, etc) does not match the work that they've been doing. Would this person be SOL for a TN/H1B? To improve their chances would it be advisable to get a 1-year accelerated Master's in the field (CompSci, AI)?

I'm working on my online multiplayer game: kingbit (iOS). I released it back in 2023 and haven't touched the code since. It's still by far my most successful app (7.3M impressions, 500 MAU) so I'm excavating the code and going to try and seriously monetize this project into a real business.

May I interest you in Jevons paradox:

In economics, the Jevons paradox occurs when technological progress increases the efficiency with which a resource is used (reducing the amount necessary for any one use), but the falling cost of use induces increases in demand enough that resource use is increased, rather than reduced.
