Curious about why the janky manual paper processes, excel sheets, or stuff not documented, was fixed only when vibe code was available. Was it just cost?

> they all have the same mother, grew up in the same house, etc.

I’m pretty sure the first one didn’t have siblings, and the second only had one. Also their mother is not the same person after raising the first kid, or raising two.

Parenting never have reproducible conditions.

Good thing is that we can start using Insomnium now.

That’s the point, with wifi you already have the array of microphones in the room.

When I see suggestions to "own" your email domain, how do you manage the chicken-egg problem of needing an email address in the first place to register the domain you want to lease?

Are there registrars that let you walk in with a physical ID to proof you are you in case your email gets compromised and they get access to the registrar? Any experience with that?

what you mean we can't? there are a lot of curated content directories out there.

GitLab is a completely different platform.

This comes to solve the problem of the terrible UX in the most widespread git service. I won't dare to try to convince my whole team, or company, to migrate to GitLab, but this can be easily adopted.

not having a way to divide notification channels, transactional vs promotional, make it worse than android.

> I always say to buy a domain first.

You can only rent a domain. The landlord is merciless if you miss a payment, you are out.

There are risks everywhere, and it depresses me how fragile is our online identity.

And yet… that was a very self-destructive decision.

To answer your questions: receiving letters is easy, companies know how to do it. Sending letters is not common for the public.

sdf4j — Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:15:53 +0000

The first paragraph that talks about the OS itself is depressing:

>macOS Sequoia completes the new Mac Studio experience with a host of exciting features, including iPhone Mirroring, which allows users to wirelessly interact with their iPhone, its apps, and notifications directly from their Mac.

So that's their highlight for a pro workstation user.

This CDD doesn’t lead to problems?

I see a disconnection with reality here… Somehow bugs are caused by dumb people who thinks their code is great but it’s not. So we let smart people come up with practices that dumb people will follow and mistakes will be avoided.

How these certified architects folks will prevent defects is not clear to me.
