I really want more monitors that are taller and have 3:2 aspect ratio.

I use the BenQ RD280U. It’s as wide as a 27” 16:9 and as tall as an 32” 16:9. I really like the aspect ratio and I’m using two of them.

Eizo makes a square 1920x1920 monitor:

... available on Amazon last time I checked ... they also make a square 2048x2048 monitor for ATC:

... although I think it costs $5k or so ...


I just had Claude generate a readme for me and it added at least 10 emoji to it.

That's where they are prevalent. It's just mimicking its training set. If you use LLMs as Q&A oracles or code generators the emoji output is less frequent.

A DevOps crew? Mainframes aren’t something that are just part of some random web app project in a company. A System Administration team would be the likely maintainer. But a lot of mainframes are designed to be run with very little manual maintenance these days.

They’re also wildly different architecturally from your typical rack of x86 servers, which is why the initial reaction to Linux running on a mainframe sounded stupid at first. When I worked at IBM in the 2010s, a Linux Zserver felt more like a VM running inside the mainframe than anything else. There were abstractions of the mainframe components that intentionally leaked into the Linux side that were interesting. I knew very little about traditional mainframe software development at the time, so I was very fascinated by how it all worked.


I had to think about what a “slimming jab” would be. Interesting terminology for weight-loss injections.

We definitely had syntax highlighting in the 90s. I distinctly remember Turbo Pascal supporting it as early as 1992.

This kinda sounds like hell for low memory machines. RIP shared memory optimizations.


Keyservers already “solved” this problem without needing federation because we only needed one keyserver anyway. Federating them isn’t going to do anything. Web of trust is a broken system that sounds super cool until you try to really use it. It has so many flaws that there’s really no way to revive it. Keybase tried to do something about it and also failed.


To be clear, this is not Web of Trust. It's using Key Transparency as a means to distribute public keys more securely than TOFU.

If people want to build WoT on top of ny design, I won't stop them, but it's not a goal of mine.


Keybase was doing great until it got acquired by Zoom and people felt uneasy about the implications, IIRC


This is a false equivalence. The iPad would have to be 45 years old and, after the artist had sold the art many times before to others, had the iPad rediscovered by someone after it had been lost in their mom’s attic.


I'm specifically referring to the line of reasoning that if it doesn't cause material harm to infringe copyright, then it's okay to do.


You didn’t click into it, did you? The top level post did not have that restriction, but instead the post it replies to does. Go look.

The actual message in the bsky widget could be improved to state that the label is masking the original post and not the reply.


What a weird bunch of hacks just to stick it to Python.
