How many of those are there? How many compared to the 15 million (mostly) first-and-only-time buyers?

Netbooks are almost unique in tech history in how flash-in-the-pan they were. Crypto somehow had more staying power.

Piping a single file through cat spawns an entire process whose only job is to copy bytes to a program that already knew how to read them.

Chrome probably spawned two processes when I cmd+clicked this into a new tab. It really doesn't matter.

I doubt the cost has any impact in the price. This is like a cool band t-shirt, but for nerds.

Windows Phone wasn't really good, because it inherited desktop Windows' bad developer experience and constantly broken promises. The write once run everywhere story wasn't as rosy as you remember. Windows Phone wasn't good, wasn't getting better fast enough, and regressed due to some unforced errors later in life.

And I say that as someone with a (blue) N9 and Lumia 900 within a few feet of me in a drawer.

Really nice. Worked perfectly downloading the runtime and running nginx:latest.

It's getting to the point that scrolling down on Github and seeing Claude as a contributor is a signal the app will be good (Native feeling, no Electron, etc)

They're subsidizing their tokens as long as you use their software. That's a fair exchange, I never understood why people took issue with it.

If you don't want to get locked in to Claude Code, you can pay more. Just like you can pay more for an unlocked non-carrier subsidized phone. (Which I personally do.)

Fable 5 is Back 21 days ago

Fable is more expensive to run, and they haven't figured out the GTM strategy just yet. I imagine they'll see how much people actually use to see if it's still worth subsidizing on the Max/Pro plans, or if they make an extra tier above.

I am curious how Bootimus got udp broadcast to work via Docker on arm macOS. I could not figure that out and it’s why I released pxehost as a cross platform binary.

Going by the Github, I'd be that it was Claude who figured it out. Which yeah, checks out.
