Once every 6 months companies should have a 'improve your setup day'. I would use it fix all the little things annoying me in neovim but not enough to spend 30 minutes on to figure out how I can fix :S

The promise and dream of the internet we had in the 2000's is mostly dead, but if there's one counter-example it's #Wikipedia . Can't think of a bigger internet success, Thank you for everything!

naming all kinds of stuff in AWS has to be the most annoying thing. How do people deal. Is the answer terraform or cloudformation?

I wonder why OSs need to go all the way to the BIOS/UEFI whenever they need a reboot for updates. Could they not free all memory and re-load their own kernel? Or is that simply too hard

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

Picked up a $10 dell thin client, hoping it can be my Windows 3.11 or at most Windows 98 happy place.

The top licenses published on #npm .
Number #2 is interesting because it's not really a well-known one, but it's the default choice when running `npm init`, so it likely represents all the people that just pressed enter without having an opinion. [1/2]

One of the many joys of using AI for programming is the creation of huge PRs on complex topics that the authors barely understand, but still suggest "because they work". Here's a great example from #OCaml github.com/ocaml/ocaml/...
Kudos to OCaml's maintainers for handling this so gracefully.
