What moat? Claude refuses to work on more than half of my projects, and usually gets itself flagged by reading text files that Claude itself wrote less than a month ago.

And often, not even then.

That's not true, copy and paste hasn't fully atrophied for most people yet.

FWIW you can just about always pick them up will-call. Ticketmaster will tell you this is impossible, but the venue always has a way around it, for in case you lose/drop your phone, etc. And it helps reinforce to the venue that ticketmaster is not perfect.

Call the venue directly to verify ahead of time.

How expensive are GLP-1s again?

Not all businesses have the same requirements. My company jumped ship months ago. We didn't consider switching to have significant cost, we did consider staying to have noticeable opportunity cost. Easy decision.

What? No. The people that stay are the ones that don't care, that doesn't mean no one cares. That's a selection effect.

The people that care left months or years ago. I'm one of them. It was really easy, Github doesn't offer anything special.

Try and run a Pagerduty with the same level of attention to detail as Github. Far fewer people use Pagerduty casually. That Github has casual users and lazy users does not mean fault tolerance and high availability are 'completely irrelevant'.

It's to get people used to the idea without giving enough surface area to fight it socially. Same thing happened with the body scanners at airports in the US, now with facial recognition at airports, and a number of other privacy concerns. It's a well-worn and proven playbook.

At first it's a trial, experimental. Then it's standard, but optional and with incentives to do it. Then it's standard but you can opt out and there's lots of signs to tell you how. Slowly they make it more uncomfortable to opt out, and the signs disappear, and they berate you for trying it. Eventually it is no longer legal to opt out.

Any one step is hard to fight back against without looking like a loon to people who don't care about this kind of thing, and over the course of a few years you can take people gently through a process that, had it happened suddenly, would never have succeeded due to pushback.

The rest of the world seems to believe that if the government doesn't mandate it, it doesn't happen.

There are more than the two bad choices for behavior here.

It's not "no matter what they do" it's really that everything they do is wrong and there really are much better alternatives than the choices they continue to make.

I run self-hosted email for more than 80 domains across three VPSs, almost all of which are one-offs or joke domains and then a handful of old and new personal and business domains.

No deliverability problems. The issues with self-hosting email are drastically overblown.

Who cares if it's the larger one, so long as they are the correct one?

Oh look, Anthropic now has a reason to conduct age verification. Great.

From where I'm sitting, it seems obvious people do exactly that.

If companies were generally capable of that level of awareness they would not operate the way that they do.

~~I am not seeing that, why do you say that?~~ Update: answering my own question. It's the ††.

If you disable watch history, youtube tries to "punish" you by disabling nearly the non-subscription recommendations and shorts not from your subscriptions and a number of other things.

Worth a try.

I don't think it's at risk of being overstatement. CW bands are more crowded than ever before, because there are more CW ops than ever before.

This is, I think, because it's easier to learn than ever, ham radio equipment is more capable for a cheaper (adjusted) price, and ham radio has grown tremendously worldwide due to all barriers being lowered a bit.

CW is very popular, especially given all the other options that are easier.

That it's a smaller percentage of hams that know CW than before is another way of saying ham radio has expanded well beyond CW and the population has grown. But if you have a finite resource (bandwidth) and it's in significantly more demand than ever before, it's a hard argument to suggest that it's not 'very' active.

Because the US is really 50 small countries in a trenchcoat that aren't all on the same page of the script.

I'm not so sure the line is that clear cut. How much hardware is useful today without software? Is VHDL software?

I started with software and have been expanding down the stack more and more, spinning some of my own (very basic) PCBs recently, and it's been a lot of fun. I think the other direction would have been harder, because the ~~core game loop~~ development cycle takes so much longer, and that would have made it hard for me personally to maintain motivation at the beginning.

Software by comparison has almost no barrier to entry and much faster iteration. It's also a lot harder to explain to my mom what I do.

I do think C was a great place to start. Going up and down from there is much easier than trying to go downstack from, e.g. javascript.

fwiw you can usually bypass aliases ad-hoc.

In Bash I believe instead of `ls` you can `\ls` to get the unaliased version.

The term is decades old at this point. It doesn't seem to play well outside of the older open source communities, now that github has xeroxed.

I can access my password manager on my trusted device, and manually type in my password for whatever service on any other device. This is exactly what I do for the rare but important time when I need to login on a device I don't want to have total access to everything.

That would require I have my email on every device I might want to log in with.

I don't like that for a number of reasons.
