Not good. Prices are never going down

Meeeeeeh

There is a simple rule they forgot to follow: never make it difficult for customers to give you money. They had excellent hardware and software but that wasn’t enough to save them.

12 years is a pretty good run for a temporary fix!

Nice. Going to dl and give it a whirl.

I’ve given talks at meetups and it’s incredibly frustrating when you get zero feedback from people attending. If you liked it or didn’t, give me something!

Using JS for anything finance related is incredibly naive

Where does it source its data from? Depending on the delay this may either be highly useful or not at all.

As an English native speaker the language it uses is difficult for me to parse the majority of the time. Nobody speaks like the output Claude generates.

NICE, i've been waiting for this drop, thanks for posting this

Needs more jank from a bajillion ads loading. :D Kidding aside, this is hilarious and made my morning

GitHub Actions database

I've seen some designers and product managers get pretty far with LLMs but mostly because they already know how to build apps just from a non-technical perspective.

Large searchable archive of NASA images. Bunch of great Apollo era photos up through shots taken recently by the Mars rovers.

I certainly still care but I've seen a lot of founders and investors who don't seem to. :(

I think a lot of folks in the industry are feeling this way. It’s an existential crisis for many of us right now. Why bother progressing when slop is “good enough”? Some of us still care but I have a feeling there are a lot of people that don’t.

This is pretty cool, dunno if I'd want to commit to a specific monitor brand to get this functionality though. My primary concerns with monitor selection are ports and color quality.

I have an old TrendNet KVM that I've used for years but it doesn't support Thunderbolt so it's getting a bit long in the tooth.

Apple IIs and Commodore VIC20 were my first exposure to computers as a kid. My elementary school had a lab of Apple IIs, played a good amount of Oregon Trail on it.

Congrats Zed team! Big fan, Zed is my daily driver.

Their Elasticsearch cluster went down and it's taking forever to rebuild their index. They should really consider looking into some more modern alternatives for that layer of the application.

I'm interested to see where you land the project at post-GH. The platform has just not grown in the ways I had hoped and their reliability has been a real issue for awhile now.

I would hope they would prioritize stability and features that devs have been asking for but it seems like that is not where their focus is at.

This will be the first time Apple has had an engineer as CEO. I'm excited to see what this brings.

Creating a search application in under 2 minutes with Claude, Searchcraft and MCP

It's just been grift for a long time.

Matthias's suggestion about reframing the context of the purpose of the Rust language struck a chord with me. His post is building a bit off of Niko Matsakis's blog post about the same concept but goes a bit more in depth. There is a perception of Rust as being just a "systems programming" language when really it is a language for building "foundational software".

This feels unnecessary.
