It doesn't mean much but I cancelled my 5x Max subscription to Claude. Only way how I can tell them what I think about this change.

You can check some open source projects (envoy is the one I know) which are using it. The bigger projects are fun way to learn some tricks.

I've got a bunch of Ansible scripts, written in around 2013 or so - and then constantly tweaked over the years. Code quality isn't the greatest, but I've been using them to provision a bunch of laptops, Linux PCs, etc. They work good enough that I didn't search for a replacement yet. There's always a thing which needs fixing with these scripts, which is to be expected for something which is only fired every so often.

Hardest part of using them is remembering to do any config changes in Ansible repos and not directly in config files.

I have diverging logic, branching off usernames and group memberships to treat given machine as "personal" or "work" - and then configure certain settings differently. I'm using ansible-vault for secrets like SSH keys, etc.

New machine provisioning is usually just installation of a package manager (if not present, like brew), and installation of Ansible.

LunarVim may require some symlinks but I've ran both with Neovide at some time. nvchad should work out of the box.

I have almost exactly the same habits when using editors mentioned above. I'm not sure if I've been using Vim (neovim now) or Emacs (+evil) for longer, but both have great reasons to be installed at the same time.

It's a great set of updates, and it's especially telling that "privacy" wasn't mentioned even once in the whole article.

I'm impressed with the progress.

I'm also scared about privacy of the data. How will that work with installing windows in business environments with sensitive IP?

This is a great feature and I did use it few times to test. However, be aware of potentially leaking your company's private or sensitive information when doing this.

This is anecdotal but EVGA replaced my 1-month out of warranty 970 with 1070, after the card gave up to work about 2 years ago. And I registered it after the failure, although I was able to establish that I bought the card legally and was the only owner.

All my contact with their customer support was stellar.

I find it fascinating (in a very good way) that he does find time to code. Python is not a bad language, in all fairness, any programming language which picks your interest enough to spend time working with it is a good choice.

The added benefit of Python is the ease of using something like Jupyter notebooks, which make it trivial to iterate.

(disclaimer: I coded more in Ruby than in Python, but I still enjoy both)

Of course we wouldn’t see it, it would be closed source

What is the policy of Cognitect re: public benchmarks? I did not know that.

I know that this is stupid pet peeve but my number one thing to fix is not being able to change the extension of a file with the standard iOS tools. (or is there a way to do this?)

The length to which I needed to go to when I needed to do this recently on a video which was shared with me was mind boggling. I'm not sure if this is because the video was in Files and not in Gallery, but it shouldn't really matter. If anything, that would be exactly where I'd expect to have such a feature.

I didn't hear about ROG Phone 2 and it has some features which I really like, but I think the killer for me was lack of Micro SD and a better camera.

If only there would be a flagship phone which has all: an awesome camera (I snap loads of photos, the whole "best camera is the one you have with yourself" mantra), big battery and a Micro SD slot, it would be an instant buy for me.

So far I've been upgrading my Samsung Galaxy from 2 -> 4 -> 8+ as that was the closest I could find to what I wanted from the phone, but I'm happy to change to any other brand.

I'm not sure how to take your comment. Are you implying that spying on other countries is ok? Or that US has so much control that it should not be messed with?

Both are bad, right?

Why?

I like how this news was posted on Friday afternoon before the Memorial Day weekend.

I'd love this to be a series of monthly posts, asking for updates for people with certain professions or backgrounds.

There's so much which I don't know about everything outside my field of work (and inside too, I guess).

I do not have experience with Kotlin and it's interop with Java. Do you maybe have examples or articles which you'd recommend on the subject?

What if someone drops a comment with a link to child porn?

Don't get me wrong, as much as I support the idea of no censorship, there's always a need for a janitor to clean somebody's graffiti on the wall. In an online world, those janitors tend to abuse their power though.

How can somebody scam you out of your Instagram name other than you giving / selling it to them?

I really would want to see Nintendo Switch to get even more mainstream than it is now.

Not that I appreciate their way too (supposedly the anti-piracy / console-locking measures in Switch are first grade?) but this would put pressure on Sony to possibly stop blocking cross-play.

"Silence on the wire" [1] hypothesizes finding the state of systems from the outside world - or based on the lack of information. Found it entertaining to read and this article somehow reminded me about it.

Thank you for explanation. I don't do any graphics programming, besides few toy projects with OpenGL, but my understanding was that one of it's benefits was portability (for a varying definition of "portability").

That's why I wasn't sure what Metal is offering instead.

What's the consensus on Metal? How does it compare to OpenGL?

I did not thought about passing a binary to `ld` directly, that's quite cool actually.

A bit random question, one which qualifies as "I'm here too long and I'm afraid to ask now" territory: what's the difference between i686 and x86_64?

How those two architectures differ?

I'm using UBlock as well and will never look back, but in relation to:

> And, most importantly, they do not get in bed with the ad companies to arrange for acceptable ads.

Unless things changed, UBlock relies on some of the blocking lists coming from AdBlock so the sentence above might not be 100% true.
