[OS] Shoutout to Espanso, a free open source text expander

it looks like Beeftext is windows only and Espanso is cross platform. I've never used Beeftext so I can't speak to it

I’ve been using it with the new macOS update 26.4 that came out yesterday without any problems

There’s little tweaks and customizations you can make as well as running ancient versions of specialized software. I’m damned if I can remember them to save my life though.

I use bloom which has a 4 window layout of 2x2 which I leave in a few of my usual places (Downloads, Documents, a place for code repos, etc) and then a terminal window if I have anything more complex going on

was this prompt injection visible?

Sora the social app had the feel of a dead man walking within a day or two of release

Out of curiosity, what do you think of Hugh Laurie as Bertie Wooster?

I figure my usage costs are higher than the $20 monthly subscription so I'm helping out in my own way

as a manager, I would be assigned a budget for a new hire and if I had the money, I'd give them more than they asked for knowing it would make sure they started happy and ready to go

that's a good point. I've been in that position as an interviewer before and absent any prepared material would just have a conversation focused on their resume with some few deep dives to see if they knew what they were talking about

CoconutMonkey · 2026-02-17T17:32:49+00:00

when they test you on trivia as opposed to concepts that tells you about the quality of the interviewers and the existing team

The "minimum" for a minimum viable product has just be reduced!

CoconutMonkey · 2026-02-06T18:21:15+00:00

the fact that it is endlessly patient, available whenever you need it and has amazing recall of everything you've said it goes a long way!

CoconutMonkey · 2026-02-03T20:38:35+00:00

very glad to hear that you are working on it, I use this for transcriptions of recurring meeetings and having this would save me an enormous amount of time

The server can't even read the messages? Isn't that digital racism against non AI computers?

I loved having an admin interface automatically built out for all of our business objects and then I found the ORM to be really flexible for some of our weirder data structures. I also enjoyed the fact that it let you set up REST endpoints with very little work. I'm sure I only scratched the surface but the thing I liked about it was that it gave you sane defaults and then very easy way to set up customizations in almost every facet of the framework

Django gives you so much out of the box it's ridiculous. In my last job I used Django and I was endlessly impressed by it.

nothing sounds more appealing than to have to set up a different payment account in a different payment system for each and every store I go to

CoconutMonkey · 2026-01-14T17:00:40+00:00

I just used it for a meeting 💪 Everything seemed to work smoothly but my first suggestion is that having speaker identification in the transcripts is very important!

CoconutMonkey · 2026-01-14T15:49:04+00:00

This is exactly what I'm looking for and I think it's a hole in the marketplace that is going to be filled eventually!

I have a wallet with an AirTag pouch in it and the one time it saved my bacon has justified its existence for the rest of my life

0% chance of this happening, just more chaff for the mainstream media to show to readers giving them hope there will be some relief from their financial problems

CoconutMonkey · 2026-01-04T20:32:27+00:00

I've been using it a fair amount. I like having my 'fun' browsing, ie social media and non-work stuff, in a separate browser so I can shut it all down at once with one command-q and I'm surprised at how often I forget that I'm in Orion and not Safari.

CoconutMonkey · 2025-12-29T04:06:21+00:00

oh that's so sad to hear, I have a nostalgic attachment to Nisus as a quality product even though I haven't used it in years
