Writing Code Was Never The Bottleneck LLMs make it easier to write code, but understanding, reviewing, and maintaining it still takes time, trust, and good judgment.

"The actual bottlenecks were code reviews, knowledge transfer through mentoring and pairing, testing, debugging, and the human overhead of coordination and communication.

All of this wrapped inside the labyrinth of tickets, planning meetings, and agile rituals."

Corsi Rosenthal Box | Clean Air Kits Clean Air Kits are super efficient air purifiers built simply from banks of silent PC pressure fans and 3M Filtrete virus+allergen filters. Quiet enough to leave on always, powerful enough to protect ...

Hey please check out cleanairkits.com. The air filters use furnace filters available at any hardware store. Bonus, they are quieter and use less energy too.

Need to dive in on this more but I like the concepts and the approach.

It sounds really fun but $850 is hard to swallow for what it is. Can get a used, older model x100 for less.

Hi Gary, looks like you've put in a lot of effort here. Good stuff! What fans + filters did you use?

do you post your photos anywhere?

I dodge the kids' illnesses all the time. Masks and air filters.

Promising that the lady version starts with a realistic expectation of 5 days, she probably delivers.

Happy to help someone!

(then inside the devcontainer, use podman-remote instead of regular podman)

Hi, I don't know what podman bug you're running into but we solved podman docker-in-docker for devcontainers by exposing the host's podman socket to the devcontainer. Perhaps that could work for you.

I'm sure he thought Core Guidelines would be enough since they vastly improve memory safety. Problem is the training and tooling for Core Guidelines are very intensive compared to using Rust or Go and all the crusty bits of C++ are still right there tempting & confusing people.

Coming from modern c++ rust is “oh, they have mostly everything plus some syntax so the compiler can check for all the really horrible bugs”

It’s kind of nice.

I’m thinking about leafing all speech to text errors in place until people stop hyping AI

Believe it stems from the actions of Carl Mark Force IV (amazing cop name). Ross paid him to do hits but because Force was corrupt and screwed up, the charges weren’t levied as part of the case. Really no question that Ross should be in jail.

For example, apps can see wifi network ids and use that to track users. Why not have the OS munge those ids so they aren’t useful? Same with bluetooth, etc. Take all the unique identifiers ad tracking stuff uses and make them totally useless.

The issue is the permissions are not granular enough to protect privacy while enabling functionality. Even if they did, it’s a lot of management burden for the user and apps would find ways to coerce users into giving up permissions. Still, there’s more that could be done.

I appreciate Apple’s privilege bracketing approach with location (Ask Next Time Or When I Share, While Using) and photos (limited access). They should add similar privilege bracketing for the microphone, bluetooth, etc. But it’s still not a solve.

Oh and add Boursin cheese to scrambled eggs

Unfortunately, it requires the special temp controlled pan unless you know how to cook.

That’s scary Andrew, hope you’re doing well!

With go in particular it seems like bad policy to stay on old versions due to CVEs in go. The way go handles deps lets it sit comfortably outside the distro ecosystem anyway, people should be told to update go.

I bought all the stuff needed to make a sensor but it’s been sitting on the shelf of unfinished projects for a while now. The commercial sensors are fairly expensive.

We (the community) need to collect pressure data so badly. If we had pressure data and P-Q curves for the fans we could estimate all of this way better.

If the fans are strong enough, sure. But it’s doubling the pressure the fans must overcome just like if the filters were stacked in series. So the fans will have to be much stronger than the usual ones.

Hi, I came up with this design a few years ago to help EU/UK/AUS folks who have a hard time getting furnace filters but can get filters from Ikea. You might give it a try. @a-dobbie11.bsky.social makes lots of variants of it.
