Many, many years ago, I used Postman for the first time, way back when it was a Chrome plugin. As an iOS dev, it was amazing to be able to validate the requests I needed to make outside the context of my code to validate things worked. Until, one day, I wasn't seeing something iterate in the responses I was getting as I expected to. Many cmd+R presses later, I talked to the API team to check logs, and we found that Postman was caching what should have been independent requests. Easily blamed on Chrome at the time, but it was an undocumented and unexpected behavior by Postman, who really should have better handled making each request unique.

I didn't need another reason not to use Postman, but I'll take it. Shame on them for moving in shadows.

I do and I used mine yesterday, but I bridge that gap with an HDHomeRun instead of using my TV's native tuner. There are a lot of good, high def channels available in major metros beyond the required broadcast channel. It is useful to have access to local news now and then with the national feed right after. Likewise, most sports are still available on local broadcast (with some exceptions, like Amazon taking Thursday Night Football). Your experiences aren't everyone's.

> Formerly “LYNX”: renamed LYNX SHARE in v0.1.20 (it was easy to confuse with the Lynx text web browser).

Glad they're already aware of the name use, though I'm not sure "LYNX SHARE" is going to be distinct enough to differentiate. That said, the project looks cool and I hope it sticks around a while. I'm not super experienced at software DAWs, but I'd be excited to play with this one and learn some.

It'd be interesting if they used that power brick tether to drive the display similar to the Samsung Frame, which takes power and signal from a fiber optic cable that runs really easily in a wall. If they could shuttle Ethernet up the power cord, they could send video signal back, too.

Yeah she checked a lot of boxes. But maybe the room made by no longer elevating the unworthy would shine a light on those who do.

That just points out that another real problem with the internet is that everyone's voice carries the same weight in ways it didn't used to. Every city has a few folks who believe aliens walk among us or otherwise wear tinfoil hats, but their message was limited to AM radio and cable access, and it was clear their content was not of the same journalistic level as the three major networks used to be - used to, because they've also changed. For example, there is conclusive, repeatable and verifiable evidence that the world is not flat, and it shouldn't be so easy to make convincing content that seems like it is.

We should celebrate people like Dolly and not people unworthy of celebration or celebrity.

I had a Gen 1 iPod with the physical, moving click wheel. It was amazing, and I remember the surprise I had when it would make that little piezo click on scroll. As the iPod aged, in my case around two years, I'd notice that my music was getting louder as I walked to class because the physical wheel was gaining momentum and scrolling. Luckily the iPod also had a hold switch.

The analysis is interesting, but I think the premise that human error is a defect to be corrected is flawed in that bands have consistently always strived to play in time together. Humans tolerate a certain amount of variance, and may even like it, but if you have a drummer who can't keep time, you don't have a band. Big Band music made it a spectacle of keeping so many instruments in time and tune with each other.

I think the thing that has changed is that the tools to "fix" the bugs are better and more commoditized, so they're used more. And similarly, production costs have gone down as hardware is commoditized, so there's more music to choose from. The last piece is that social media has made it popular to all like the same thing and make dance videos to the same songs, so already perfect little pop pieces climb up faster.

Fines are just permits for companies that can afford it.

Absolutely recommend Mario 64. I am of the age and fortunate enough to have the means to have played the flagship Mario game on nearly all of the Nintendos (starting with the NES), and my mind was blown regularly with the leap to SM64 easily being the biggest.

You have happier memories of the camera system than I do. The game is amazing, but "masterpiece" is a bridge too far for me given how many times the camera caused me to mess up.

Two wrongs don't make a right, but three wrongs also don't make it right, it just makes Nintendo last. If anything, it proves the market will bear it, and the only people who really care about actually owning a game are those who have done it before.

Drupal is a name I haven't heard in a long time, so the reputation that they're light-years ahead of is probably a low bar for me. I just recall every time I tried to adopt it or learn my way around it, the curve was high, not even compared to anything, it was just a lot. I'd love to give it another chance, but there are so many good options and such different ways of doing web dev these days, I'm not sure what benefit this would have.

Also, what an amazing day to pick to talk about anything PHP.

Have flakes stabilized? I thought those were one of the points of contention, while also being the kind of thing that I was the most interested in as a way of hopefully managing a small fleet of VMs. I had trouble getting the idea to stick because I really believed in the single-config ideal reality, but couldn't bend my config far enough in.

It's not clear if the way it worked before was the way Apple intended or not. Usually the app in the foreground controls displays, which wasn't a problem on iPads until the definition of foreground changed. It could be that an app was /supposed/ to let go of external displays when leaving foreground, and not it's just enforced. Unfortunately, Apple gets to decide what is the correct behavior, not the user.

If you're comfortable doing that, and plenty of folks are (especially us oldies who remember the shared hosting days), then that's a great way to go. I think that many who pull a docker compose file probably aren't ready to also be a PG admin, and if not shared, Postgres is probably overkill for most things. But, I've also had bouts of "just use a single PG/MySQL instance" myself. I get it.

The "then passengers fell in love" portion was enough context (for me, at least) to know we were about to read about Delta Airlines, the first place I've had Biscoff cookies, and other than when I get them at Costco, the only place I eat them.

I would also love this clarification, because not trusting an Israeli company is one thing, but with China, you're choosing to trust a government that is decades-old at being untrustworthy, not just a company. And whether or not the Israeli government can persuade a company to work with them notwithstanding, it's a known out truth that the Chinese government is in the business of its businesses.

It's not just smartphones - it's any connected device. Before the pandemic, I'd arrange Peloton rides with my friends and colleagues with bikes, and we'd ride "together" from our houses, high-fiving as we went. I'd meet up with college friends in other cities on Xbox or PlayStation from the luxury of my couch. Social moved, but made us sedentary at the same time.

Cynicism about selling new devices aside, if they really want Siri intelligence on these, old iPads can't do it, and Apple won't (if they can avoid it) sell a "product" with varying features.

They share an origin and both work, even if lede is the currently more frequently used one.

We can disable SIP with a reboot to recovery and a single command. That doesn't seem like too high a bridge to cross and probably as good as any internal tool, if that isn't what they get in the first place.

I remember that - it was when Passbook was first released. That app was useful for minting the completed pass, but required a lot of JSON and handholding because iOS needed to validate the result against the Sinatra code. Having not yet downloaded this, but having played with the new "Create pass" feature in wallet, it seems like some of those validations may have relaxed and this is a tool that makes the rest of the work easier, too. Glad to see it from Apple.

I mostly use Pi, with the small exception of using Claude for some more intense coding projects. But for everything else - homelab playgrounds, data stuff, really almost anything else - it's Pi, and I'll probably move my code work there, too. I have a handful of extensions that I like and make it more useful for me, and really like the simplicity of the TUI over some of its competitors.

Minimal to Pi isn't lines of code, it's everything else. Pi comes with four basic tools (read, write, edit, bash) and the ability to read its source and build more. So when other harnesses were building TUIs with window analogs and integrating MCPs (which I read yesterday that Pi is changing it's opinion on), or LSPs, or subagents, or web browsers, etc, Pi comes with none of that, and you add what you need. It's much lighter weight in that way.

Although if you want to compare sloc, a quick Google returns that OpenCode is ~670k sloc, so it's smaller there, too. But the real advantage is the prior one.

A password database seems like the exact thing I don't want on my phone in this case. Or at least only a vault with stuff I absolutely need and can't live without.

I was going to add the same sentiment with the addendum that normal people seem to find AI really useful, and long for Siri to be a more useful companion. Apple makes a compelling argument of an agent with frontier level smarts, access to your Apple stuff like iMessage, Reminder and Mail, and privacy (which I'm not here to debate how they're handling). Normal people like it, and Siri getting better is an advantage.

Apple Retail ran off Windows-based Motorola MC-50s for a while in the mid-00s before moving to their own software on iPod touch and iPhone. Apple doesn't compete in the CAD space, so why not use the best tools available even if it means they run on Windows?

Wendy's used to only open in locations that already had a McDonald's. Research is research.
