Re:Can we have the day off?

I feel these vibes whilst living in Munich (or Bavaria, for that matter). Most stores / shops are forbidden to operate on Sundays or past 8pm, that is enshrined in an ancient law. If you want to open a new store and you are willing to operate Sundays, or perhaps until 10pm, and your employees are also willing to work then...nope, can't do it. Would get ahead of the competition. Not fair, blablabla.
Re:A History of IDEs at Google
on Thursday May 14, 2026 @05:32AM (#48133044)
Initially I had thought so too. But later I realized that it’s quite easy to do so when you force-deprecate the old product. There was no real choice, the old IDE simply stopped working after a certain cutoff date. Adoption metrics felt forced and pushed, but were presented as if users were actively and willingly choosing the newer IDE.

Re:Cowork: Claude Code for the rest of your work
on Tuesday January 13, 2026 @04:03PM (#46607967)
Since it is an agent, I wonder why they didn’t go with “Claude Coworker” instead.
On the other hand, it’s not “Claude Coder”, then it’s at least consistent.
Re:Start your meetings at 5 minutes past
on Saturday January 10, 2026 @01:53AM (#46563445)
Creative idea, however most calendar software clients offer meeting start times rounded to increments of 15 min.
Setting meetings to start at :05 or :20 or :35 or :50 adds friction.
Defaults matter for habit formation.
There is your golden opportunity to point out internal Gemini to the Calendar codebase and make it become reality.

Re:Typst: A Possible LaTeX Replacement

It is amazing to see a modern take on LaTeX.
Previously I had great success with LyX (https://www.lyx.org/), which builds on top of LaTeX. The experience of typesetting beamer slides with it is relatively user-friendly.
A decent usage example of Typst is https://rendercv.com/. It is a set of Typst templates to build resumés.

But then you need a browser extension just for that? It’s a bit overkill.
I wonder if this works well with /etc/hosts or local DNS.

Adding the usual disclaimer that yay is an AUR helper and thus not officially supported by Arch. Arch users are advised to read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository instead. If you know what you're doing, of course using yay should be fine as well.

Firefox 3 was much better. No Pocket. No article/news recommendations. Panorama view. Firefox used to be my favorite until it started to get bloated. Prioritizes privacy? Then let me turn recommendations and Pocket permanently off.
