And every checking runs a whole CI run?

We had it internally with our teams that open a PR to then push like 10-20 more commits but never actually interested in the client builds etc. turned out they opened the PR as a checkmark/ way to share the current state. We set cooldowns and auto cancel for the ci. And then there is the developer who uses the CI compute to run tests instead of running them locally for various reasons. We had to remind that compute isn’t for free.

Great that it works for you. I gave my daughter my old Canon 70D and she needed a way to process pictures. She only has an iPad and I didn’t push her to adobe ^^. She produces great results with Photomator.

I need to do the jump myself to something better. The last update of Lightroom classic runs so damn slow on my Mac mini (M4). Was super annoyed yesterday while working on some pictures.

Stacked you mean each node works on the input from another nodes output? So I could add a node to make green blue and another node to make blue green again? Because Lightroom mask only work on the base adjustment. Sounds good if I got this right. I wanted to play around with it anyways.

Lightroom maps support color range and luminance range. Can you explain what the difference is?

I think non native speakers may not have a good feeling how charged a word or phrase is.

In their defense you only spoke about dropping your raw workflow for something simpler not that you looked for a special HDR RAW support.

I know it’s Apple and may not what you look for but does Photomator tick these boxes?

Sorry the article is paywalled and I reacted to the comment about sanded surfaces. I remember seeing documentation or other nature documentation’s about the shark skin effect. I had the chance to touch a shark and a ray in an aquarium but never felt the shark skin foil. I assume the properties would be the same though.

Most sandbox systems today, take seatbelt from Apple for instance, only strip permissions. If your extensions without internet access calls a tool that needs it, boom access denied or worse, weird network issues.

One would need some kind of ring system where less privileged processes can call higher privileged processes with their own sandbox permissions.

Starship V3 2 months ago

But for the shuttle each title was kinda unique and had a specific spot. If they managed to find a shape where you don’t have to mark each tile but can just pull them from a box for replacement is a huge win. Maybe even have some spares and allow them to be replaced during an EVA. This was all not really feasible with the Spaceshuttle.

I ran quite early into the same issues with my rust pet projects. Single structs with tons of Option<T> and validation methods etc. enums for type fields combined with says optional fields in the same layer so accessor methods all return Option<T>.

I add now a long list of instructions how to work with the type system and some do’s and don’ts. I don’t see myself as a vibe coder. I actually read the damn code and instruct the ai to get to my level of taste.

there is no security benefit to filtering out unneeded url parameters.

What about passing extra data to fill the server memory with either extra known junk or a script / executable to use with a zero day in an internal component or something.

To misuse the nightclub analogy: it’s like checking for bags not being larger than A4 and disallow knives and other weapons.

Yes quality. I forgot the Chinese manufacturer that resells their bricks to pantasia or moldking. But the quality especially for metal or translucent bricks is on par and in a lot of cases better than the Lego offerings. And calling Lego a toy company is a stretch. Their main demographic is 30-50 year olds with disposable income.

Just want to mention I have no beef or issue with Lego. I say that you get great offerings from other brands as well now.

I also swing a bit back and forth with the assumption the OP makes in the blogpost. My current fear using agents is not really supply chain attacks (yes of course as well) but the fact that I witnessed multiple times that agents are so eager to finish a task that they bend files and other things around. Like “oh I have no access to ~/.npmrc let’s call the command with an environment variable and bend the path around etc. They can get very very creative. I luckily have no ssh keys just laying around. But I had to change the setting of 1Password to always prompt for key use not just once per shell session. Just in case I spawn an agent from said session. I wished we already had more and better cross platform sandbox solutions. I mean solutions where the agent still interacts with the same OS etc not inside a docker container. I think for most web / server development that makes no difference but for some projects it does.

Zed 1.0 3 months ago

Zed is my daily driver for the last couple of month. I tried it a few times before but had to switch to various other editors for different projects. But my plan was to finally ditch VSCode as my normal file editor. I really love how fast the editor fires up. I also love the fact that it has great vim binding not just in the editor pane.

There is Apple enterprise for this reason. Depending on the set of APIs you want to use (which should be limited since you spoke of webapps), it allows you to distribute internal business apps.

Don’t know how known this is. But we use it mainly for internal testing.

I mean yes. But the advent of exposure / focus bracketing lifted the dynamic range limit for most cameras. The only other way, at least for landscape I see is to buy expensive ND filter plates or invest into a camera with more dynamic range.

Depending on the field you want to gain knowledge it can mean: “famous last words” or “missing body parts”. Nothing against the spirit of learning and challenge one’s skills. But especially people on YouTube show of quite dangerous things and sell them as everybody can do it. My list here: Metal / Wood work on a lathe with off center or unbalanced pieces in a 3 jaw chuck.

Playing around with lithium batteries to build bigger battery packs (DYI Perks did this and even though he mentions the dangers of doing that (fire or electric shock) it’s still inspires people to do the same in their living rooms.

Then is playing with chemicals.

Again I’m not saying don’t do it. But one should ease into things not just grab a random set of chemicals and disassemble a laptop and hook up a power supply etc by just following a list from the internet.

Apple also invented their own key “Apple” now “CMD” for operation like copy / paste to explicitly not have the issue to overload the already know escape sequences. Windows being on a system without a normalized keyboard had to reuse keys that are common to keyboards used back then. Vertical integration played into apples cards even back then.

I don’t disagree here. I personally like to put the why into commit messages though. It’s my longtime fight to make people write better commit messages. Most devs I see describe what they did. And in most cases that is visible from the change-set. One has to be careful here as similar to line documentation etc everything changes with size. But I prefer if the why isn’t sprinkled between source. But I’m not dogmatic about it. It really depends.

I waited for such a device for years. I have 3 Macs at the moment. My MacBook Pro (still an M2 Max) from work for work. A Mac Mini M4 Pro from last year and an older M1 MacBook. I separate my work and private usage because of all the security software my employer forces on the machine. I didn’t want to buy yet another 4000Euro MacBook for my private stuff. So when the new Mini was announced I jumped on it. But my problem was that this meant that my personal computer was no longer portable. I was lucky because I still had the M1 in my house. My wife gave it to me because she stopped using it. If not for the M1 I would definitely have spend money for a MacBook Air or a used older laptop. This Neo would also fit my requirements. But I don’t need it at the moment.

The second reason is of course kids. Yes I thought multiple times if I should get my kids some kind of computer. But the issue is that I don’t want a Chromebook or a windows device under my care. Used would be the way to go here but I love the fact that there is finally a good value entry level machine that also looks fun.

I feel they sit of on the opposite end of the OP here. One wants to write out specs to control the agent implementation to achieve a one shot execution. Other side says: let’s won’t waste time of humans writing anything.

I’m personally torn. A lot of the spec talk and now here in combination with TDD etc feels like the pipe dreams of the mid 2000. There was this idea of the Architect role who writes UML and specs. And a normal engineer just fills in the gaps. Then there was TDD. Nothing against it personally. But trying to write code in test first approach when you don’t really have a clue how a specific platform/system/library works had tons of overhead. Also the side effect of code written in the most convenient way to be tested and not to be executed. All in all to throw this ideas together for AI now… But throwing tokens out of the window and hoping for the token lottery to generate the best PR is also not the right direction in my book. But somebody needs to investigate in both extremes I say.

I for one might use these chats as an input for switching over to keep the learning process fast. For me it took a while for ChatGPT to get me. I know that other people delete memories because they want a clean slate experience with every chat. I use chatGPT mostly private (use claud code for work for instance) and I prefer that memories travel across chats.

On top you have news outlets and educated people not being clear what they are. See from the article:

He has long argued tariffs boost American manufacturing - but many in the business community, as well as Trump's political adversaries, say the costs are passed on to consumers

It’s reported as if someone still needs to figure out who pays the tariffs in the end. I’m aware that tariffs are a lever to potential move buying behavior and give incentives to move production locally. But in this instance and how it’s/ was implemented it’s clear who is the paying for it.
