While Apple does make nice hardware and appear to be listening to their users in that respect, don't forget that Tahoe has not been particularly well-received.


While I agree with your sentiment, the actual quote is subtly different, which changes the meaning:

"Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."


That was my first thought too! but then realised Allan Border has a double L, while the app's name is "Alan"


Nothing is in its "final form" today.

I'm a long time SWE and in the last week, I've made and shipped production changes across around 6 different repos/monorepos, ranging from Python to Golang, to Kotlin to TS to Java. I'd consider myself "expert" in maybe one or two of those codebases and only having a passing knowledge of the others.

I'm using AI, not to fire-and-forget changes, but to explain and document where I can find certain functionality, generate snippets and boilerplate, and produce test cases for the changes I need. I read, review and consider that every line of code I commit has my name against it, and treat it as such.

Without these tools I'd estimate being around 25% as effective when it comes to getting up to speed on unfamiliar code and service. For that alone, AI tooling is utterly invaluable.

I have three words for you: cascading systems failure


> ... Feedly that pretend to care about RSS but layer on features unrelated to the protocol

I've been using Feedly since Google killed reader, and while I like the RSS functionality it offers, I do agree that they've slowly been adding more and more features I don't care for.

Maybe it's time to migrate to something like TFA suggests.

I also agree with your other comments; it's huge a shame.


I see what you did there


There appears to be a link to an RFC1918 address on that page: http://192.168.4.56:5001


And the three preceding links are to http: instead of https:. They should all probably be domain-relative URLs (/2019/jsx-like-…, &c.).


author here, thx for pointing these out! I was simultaneously working on some CSS for my blog on localhost and when I looked up some references to older articles to put in my post, I looked them up in the version of my site that was running locally and forgot to change the links lol. Whoops. Fixed now — thanks again!

I've been using McFly [1] recently, and like it a lot.

> McFly replaces your default ctrl-r shell history search with an intelligent search engine that takes into account your working directory and the context of recently executed commands. McFly's suggestions are prioritized in real time with a small neural network.

[1] https://github.com/cantino/mcfly


the neural network is pretty broken. It prioritizes things that I did weeks ago over a command that I just ran 20 times. Be a bit critical of it, I actually found it fairly terrible.

I know it's open source and people working on it might be reading this so let me apologize to you personally and please don't take this message as discouragement. I know how demotivating one bad review can be. It just wasn't working for me.


I used to use McFly too, but atuin is much better. Worth trying, takes one minute to install it.


Which features from Atuin are missing from/inferior in McFly?


for me, atuin's history sync is a huge must since i use 5 different machines across my house.


atuin is much better in what? McFly is a lot more light weight and does semantic search using a neural network and do not need a database.
