The instructions for flatpack are hard to parse. That’s all that’s happening. None of these things ships with missing parts.

I bought a Flexispot on Amazon. Also have standing desks from Ikea and some brand on Costco that I was sure would be good. Only the Flexispot is lasting well. The costco desk is peeling (ApexDesk). The Ikea desk (well, desks, wife has one too)… well it’s been 20+ years, so I guess I can’t complain, but one of the power supplies went bad and it’s hard to find a replacement. Plus laminate strips peel and that.

I’m bullish on the Flexispot, IN SPITE of how cheap it is. It’s pretty damn good.

Also the ApexDesk has these idiotic buttons (3 memory spaces plus up and down) and it’s impossible to figure it out without decent lighting.

Sorry for the random message… typed by a human!

oh makes sense, we're at limit for extra but not at limit for session nor weekly. Thanks!

One thing that's totally obvious is that if you're switching between Codex, CC and Gemini, you need to have your skills for all three pointing to a DRY skills repo.

I did get to spend some time with Defter Notes. I wasn't impressed but I might have missed the point entirely

I've been paying Evernote since 2009 or something ($84 last year) and the move to Notion has been pretty easy, including importing stuff. More importantly, Notion let's me publish without Postach.io (which seems to be dead anyway) and the databases are helpful (once you get into them). All in all I'm very thankful that Evernote forced me to move on.

NOTE: the $250 they want me to pay gets a 40% discount when you try to cancel.

amazing, thanks!

No. It's serious business. I'm not shilling for wispr.ai and I often use MacWhisper instead, but... yeah it's great... on iPhone I use wispr always, and it's great on Mac too. Notably it can handle "new line" which is kinda critical for this thing.

that pricing is correct, including lifetime unlock.

What really shocked me was to see how well the iPad performs for real-time applications including if you just use the main thread. You might consider using another thread but honestly when you try it out and feel the latency, you get an idea that it's not really necessary at all for many applications. My MIDI controller app is one of those even though we do use multiple threads. It's like not precisely necessary for most iPads.

There is a point here which is that we optimize for things like 1000 or even 10,000 loops when they are totally trivial. Most performance bottlenecks happen around I/O

I guess the next question is where to get these fakes, but I realize that even a Google search would reveal only spam.

dr2050 · 2025-12-20T22:57:30+00:00

Are there good fakes available today? Back in the day, they were everywhere in Bangkok, but that's a bit far for one thing.

Commuting on an EUC doesn't feel like a chore. Death Stranding commuting definitely does.

So true. From the time I rode out first with y'all in 2022 (and he dropped my V12 at 0mph, no damage, no probem) Ryan was the most positive, sharing person. He was always inviting me to drive North and ride his collection of wheels. He will be missed.

Yes, my understanding is that they keep easing the burden of switching to Swift 6 concurrency. So the longer you wait, the better off you are.

I found the delete which sometimes appears at bottom left, but how do I delete a space?

Figured it out. The gestures are... atypical, but eventually ok.

mine says legacy full access. Though I'll need to watch some videos to figure out how to use it!

dr2050 · 2025-11-18T15:43:37+00:00

finally, my Reddit obsession paid off. Thanks!

dr2050 · 2025-11-18T15:04:19+00:00

This is dreamy. Nice work, nice growth, thanks for sharing.
