Re:Kimi K2.5 Technical Report [pdf] on Friday January 30, 2026 @03:11PM (#46829233)
I've been using K2.5 with OpenCode to do code assessments/fixes and Opus 4.5 with CC to check the work, and so far so good. Very impressed with it so far, but I don't feel comfortable canceling my Claude subscription just yet. Haven't tried it on large feature implementations.
I checked it out the first episode, and I enjoyed it. One thing I would suggest to include the source book(s) used for each episode in the notes.
Similar set up with a dotfile repo then I use GNU Stow to manage my dotfiles once I clone the repo.
Exactly this. Do something small. Tell yourself I'm just going to do this one small thing and then I will allow myself a break. Rinse and Repeat.

Re:Build Yourself a Redux on Friday May 05, 2017 @11:19AM (#14274056)
I came here to point out the Redux course by Dan Abramov on Egghead.io as well. I believe it's free. It's amazing how easy Dan makes it seem. It was a light bulb moment for me and finally made me understand the importance of immutability behind the React philosophy.
Re:Writing Node.js scripts with ClojureScript on Wednesday May 03, 2017 @07:46PM (#14261263)
I'm just getting started with ClojureScript, so this pretty timely for me.
Along these lines, I'm trying Github pages with Jekyll; works for me.
Coolest thing I've seen today, if only because my last name is Aragon.

I have an HP Folio9470m that is running Ubuntu 14.04 like a champ. These days I use it more frequently than my Macbook Pro, especially for Docker related stuff.
