Primary driver for me (finally) learning tmux.

I think you can see this when you look at the downvotes on that GitHub issue on any comment which suggests gating AI access behind a paywall.

Sadly, seems to be abandoned. Last commit a year ago.

That was surprisingly awesome.

Yep, this. I’ve switched to Claude for a while (because I can’t afford max plans for both) and nobody in the real world has any idea what it is I’m talking about. “Oh it’s like ChatGPT?”

Might want to consider a different name, given there’s an open source CI/CD tool called GoCD already. https://www.gocd.org/

Yeah, who’s going to pay for your single person AI-powered vibe coded calendar organiser product when nobody has a job?

Ah I hadn’t considered keyboard layouts.

Fwiw, that’s actually an En dash not an Em dash. You need a Shift in there to get an Em dash.

Right.

Thanks. It's an emotive issue, and starting a conversation with "yeah this issue doesn't exist" isn't a great beginning. Fair point that my comment wasn't exactly constructive either.

Having a productive discussion doesn't start with someone outright denying an issue exists, especially in such a white male dominated industry as ours. I'm sorry having an opinion means the only possibility is I'm vying for popularity.

No, I don't. That's nonsense. But two people doing the same job and achieving results should be paid the same. It's not that complicated.

Not OP, but one I came across yesterday was `date`.

Linux: `date -d '10 mins ago'` Mac: `date -v -10M`

There's loads of tiny differences like this. Often just old versions, and you can pull in the latest with `brew` or something.

Interesting, thanks for the reply.

I wonder which password manager the original Project Zero thread referred to then if not 1Password.

jandy — Fri, 24 Feb 2017 07:25:59 +0000

I'm confused by the "not affected" remarks. I thought the issue was any site which passes data through cloudflare could be leaked by requests to a different site, due to their data being in memory. Have I misunderstood?

Haskell and Erlang come to mind. They probably weren't the first either.

How does this compare to JSON when gzipped? I imagine any size benefit of stripping colons and parenthesis is negligible compared to a good compression.

New comment by jandy in "Introducing Optimizely for iOS: Developer Preview"

jandy — Tue, 18 Mar 2014 02:25:58 +0000

I think ajanuary's point, and I felt the same thing, is that the name "Optimizely" does not say anything to me about A/B testing; hence, it doesn't do what it sounds like. In fact, I thought it was something about code/performance optimisation based on the name.

The thing which excites me the most about this is the little LTE symbol in the corner. Why? So your navigation app can update itself. We had a Range Rover a few years ago which had some crazy proprietary satnav in which was stuck with five year old maps and a buggy interface. Software Update, mmm.
