Looks really nice. Would it be easy to make a qwen-cli wrapper?

The new container tool is also very nice on MacOS

That did not age well.
Re:State of Terminal Emulators in 2025: The Errant Champions on Tuesday November 04, 2025 @11:04AM (#45812496)
That sounds like an awesome concept. However, I'm restarting Linux usage after 10 years on Mac, and I am surprised on how much less annoying the Shift-ctrl-v is compared to what I expected.

Do you happen to know similar queries for Oracle?
Also lovely! I was going to look for somthing like Toshy - https://github.com/RedBearAK/toshy
Lovely. Do you have some tips for that? Something you put in bashrc?
Re:DHH: The Framework Desktop is a beast on Sunday August 10, 2025 @05:23AM (#44853916)
I think DHH compares them because they are both the latest, top-line chips. I think DHHs benchmarks show that they have different performance characteristics. But DHHs favorite benchmark favors whatever runs native linux and docker.

For local LLM the higher memory bandwith of M4 Max makes it much more performant.

Arstechnica has more benchmarks for non-llm things https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/08/review-framework-des...

Any news on the usage of Swift?
Re:Show HN: An SQS Alternative on Postgres on Friday May 10, 2024 @07:00AM (#40317466)
I've thought about this too. But I can't even tell what would be the good default. At low load events seem nicer, but at high load polling seems necessary?
Yes. That mainboard repurpose is awesome! A dedicated mini can probably have better/quieter cooling. Fingers crossed.
Are you considering some quiet NUC-type machines? I have a very nice Starlabs Byte v1, but even more competition for the Mac Mini would be great.

Lovely writeup. Making that webpage must have taken quite some time also?

A question out of curiosity. What are your thoughts on re-writing in Swift?

If it were me, I am sure my tech-fingers would itch for a rewrite, but my business hands would slap those thoughts away.

Thanks for the great posts. Will you also do a post about MacOS this year?
Re:Postgres: The Next Generation on Tuesday October 10, 2023 @04:32PM (#37837085)
I sent you a note and added my email to my profile. Best of luck with the writing.

I would be happy to have a look at your book drafts.
Traffic is bad, but fossil traffic is strictly worse than EV traffic. So again, it seems possible to advocate both less traffic and that the remaining traffic should be better.
It seems possible to do both. Both encourage the shift from fossil cars to EVs and to encourage more cycling and public transport.

Works for me with the Office 365 Teams. Is the one on live.com different?
Re:StarFighter 16 inch: 4K Coreboot/Ryzen Linux laptop on Sunday February 12, 2023 @02:58AM (#34760864)
I have the Byte desktop machine from them. I waited quite a bit for the delivery, but the machine is very nice.

Wow. That seems awesome. Do lots of people use it? Is it reliable?
