I think this is the way. Not control, but just make it simpler for parents to handle their childrens devices. You dont have to make everyone share their age, you just make it so that parents can in a simpler way choose what the children should be able to access. Make it easy to do right, dont add more control. Its kind of the old anti-piracy copyprotections. The pirates always cracked it, and in the end, the ones who got to sit there trying to figure out what is the word in the manual is the user who actually paid for the game. So making it worse for the ones who paid, and better for the cracked version. So, make it simple.

The 49MB web page 4 months ago

I'm thinking that I gonna start making all my webpages <1mb in size, and compensate that with adding windows 95 to each page load.

I was hoping for this too, but when I saw that Eric Migicovsky went back to building pebble I lost my hope for it

My instinct is to say that I don't want the session as part of the commit. For me that is like a Slack thread discussing the new feature, and that is not something I would commit. I think that the split shouldn't be "is this done with a machine"=> commit, I think the split for AI should be the same as before. Is it code or changes of code, then it should be included. Is it discussing, going back and forth, that is not commited now. On the other hand, if you do a plan that is then implemented, I actually do think it makes sense to save the plan, either as commit, or if you save that back to the issue.

But I actually think that one if the bigger arguments for single language models is the ability to have more languages. Im from Sweden, so I would like to have swedish on extremly high level, but I wouldnt like to have all other small languages on that level beacuse it would inflate the size. So, I actually think having multiple single language models, make it wider and deeper

Yes, I see the same thing. My working thesis is that if I can keep the codebase modular and clear seperations, so I keep the entire context, while claude code only need to focus on one module at a time, I can keep up the speed and quality. But if I try and give it tasks that cover the entire codebase it will have issues, no matter how you manage context and give directions. And again, this is not suprising, humans do the same, they need to break the task apart into smaller piecers. Have you found the same?

The pyramid references in the link is from 1992, it even says so on the page. I think that going to war against the recommendations from 1992 feels a bit...dishonest?

A few days ago there was a post on year of the Linux desktop due to Windows getting worse. The sense is that MacOS isn't degrading as fast, but it still also is looking its lead to linux in usability.

I've been using Linux now as my personal desktop OS for 10-15 years. I actually really liked windows, and still think that windows XP and 7 was great OS for me. My Linux mint is still in style of the old windows versions.

But this year I used windows at a new work, and tested using my wife's windows computer. And for the first time I really feel it's shit.

First when I moved to Linux, 10-15 years ago, windows was better and smoother. 10-5 years ago Linux was getting close and worked equally for everyday, only being problem when things really break. Now is the first time that Linux actually is equal and probably overtakes windows. Microsoft making the move of discontinuation windows 11 puts the nail in the coffin

So I agree, 2026 is the year of Linux desktop.

Lately I've been thinking the opposite of this.

I use claude code extensively, and lately it does all the coding for me. I've been asking it to go through claude.md to see if it needs to be updated after making changes.

I'm now thinking that I will let claude code write code, but never touch claude.md. It needs to be as short and I need to have full control over it.

As i lead the direction of the development the claude.md is my primary way of influencing it, in every single session.

I think programmets often underestimate the power of Excel for non-programmers, it in practice runs the business world.

I think that it also is a comparable to the ai side we see now. Do something for real, use real database or programmer. Non-programmer needs something, vibe code or excel

"Linux users will be happy to hear that this SDK is a step toward offering a client, something we know is highly anticipated. Today, we’re sharing an early preview of our SDK work."

This is not how I think about it. Me and the coding assistant is better then me or the coding assistant separately.

For me its not about me or the coding assistant, its me and the coding assistant. But I'm also not a professional coder, i dont identify as a coder. I've been fiddling with programming my whole life, but never had it as title, I've more worked from product side or from stakeholder side, but always got more involved, as I could speak with the dev team.

This also makes it natural for me to work side-by-side with the coding assistant, compared maybe to pure coders, who are used to keeping the coding side to themselves.

I Don't Have Spotify 11 months ago

I want to start buying music (and film/series), to eventually be less dependent on services. Where can I buy DRM free music (and film/series)?

No, it's not. It's the all you can eat buffet saying that 95% can eat all they want, but the 5% that keep sneaking food in their backpack to eat when they get can't do that anymore.

I don't know what Sweden he has lived in, but me who has lived in Sweden through the 90s, 00s and 10s, I feel that practically the only thing people want to talk about is problems with immigration.

In relation to digging into a major economic shift during thee 30 years, moving Sweden from being one of the most egalitarian societies to consistently having an increasing economic gap.

This continues with the last budget, again giving tax cuts to, not salary work, but dividents. "But isn't Sweden a high tax society", well, it still a quite high tax on work, but all other type of taxes has been remove or dramatically decreased (inheritance tax, gift tax, property tax, corporate tax, divident tax). So it is increasingly cheaper to earn money on others work (also your parents), but if cant afford to invest you will a hard time actually working yourself up by just putting hours in. But hey, the problem is just "immigration" and that people cant talk about it (even though the only thing people talk about is just that).
