Agreed. I imagine they’ll announce an EU-only option later once they get more EU infrastructure in place

Is this claim substantive at all?

Not anymore forever. We’re just not adding one for this year. We might need one next year, we might not. It all depends on the Earth’s rotation and orbit

Vim swap files (.swp) are periodically saved out to disk. In the event of a crash, reopening a file will present you with a screen asking if you want to recover the file. I doubt it’s character by character, but I’m sure vim has a setting to speed it up

I still think Anthropic should've bought Clawdbot/OpenClaw. Feels like a missed business opportunity to expand your market share by capitalizing on the hype.

linux2647 — Sat, 22 Nov 2025 21:15:48 +0000

The tmux usage referenced at the end of the article was fascinating to watch. I’d never considered using tmux as a way of getting more insight into how an agent is working through a problem. Or to watch it debug something

Unrelated but I really enjoyed the wavy text effect on “opinions” in the first paragraph

Sorry, I don’t understand this analogy

Could you explain the difference?

linux2647 — Sun, 18 May 2025 14:37:36 +0000

The folks at SaySomethingIn, that originally started with Welsh and other Celtic languages, have recently expanded to Japanese. I haven’t tried it myself, but I’ve found some decent success with one of their other courses. It’s all about spaced repetition and focuses exclusively on listening and speaking.

I think it’s not just the camera LED, but the indicators that appear on screen, like the amber, green, or blue dots that appear in the menu bar when the microphone, camera, or screen recording are accessed by apps.

New comment by linux2647 in "Show HN: Modest – musical harmony library for Lua"

linux2647 — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 04:13:56 +0000

I wrote something like this for fun years ago, although I don’t think I published it. I think my library had a scale defined by a root note and a set of steps. A chord could be constructed from a scale and a root note, with modifiers such as inversions and others like X7, Xb5#13, etc. The scale has the blueprint and the notes follow. You already have the primitives with notes and intervals.

Parsing chords from notes is more difficult, as are most parsing tasks.
