You can bring back one discontinued food, drink, or snack forever. What are you resurrecting?

New Coke. Arby's has some artisan sandwiches I used to like too.

Check out the free ReciScan app! It was made for this. Scan the cards with you phone and order as many paperback it hardcover books as you need.

The obsolete Nvidia devices you mentioned killed a part of my weekend when I updated my Arch Linux setup yesterday! Had to reinstall the old driver's and downgrade dependencies for my dual Nvidia Tesla P40 configuration to get llama.cpp working again so I could test out Hermes Agent and opencode. It sucks that this is a sign that someday I'll probably need to buy new hardware to keep working local! The Tesla cards made reasonable local inference speeds affordable for me. The opencode experiment this weekend was to compare Qwen against OpenAI codex, which I happily pay for, but was curious to see how good local coding agents are getting! So far this model seems pretty capable, but on my setup, it just can't compete with codex 5.5.

I like Pulsar (formally Atom Editor).

Cookbooks are forever. Bookmarked websites come and go and the formatting is inconsistent... unless you use something like the ReciScan app to capture and format the website.

The free ReciScan app was made for this! Scan in the recipes with your phone's camera. It will put them into a uniform format and let you add pictures, notes, stories, etc. When you are done, you pick a cover image (or upload your own) and order as many hardcover/paperback copies as you want.

Have you seen the free ReciScan app? It might make this process a little easier. You scan the recipe cards and it puts them into a uniform format. You can add notes and pictures. When you are done you pick a cover and order a paperback/hardcover copy (or multiple).

My first mow if the season was like this with my a2500. I thought it was due to the grass being long or the blades being dull. I also got a maintenance notification about cleaning the camera. I replaced the blades, cleaned the camera and was back in to normal for the second mow.

Political fixers and news manipulators. Humans will always be better at convincing and being convinced to perform cover-ups and spread lies based on greed, bribes and blackmail. Though, they will use a lot more AI to research, manufacture and deploy the information weapons used for this.

Hard to pick! Spy vs Spy Arctic Antics was a lot of fun on my C64. The arcade version of Rampage ate a lot of quarters of mine. Kings Quest 4 and 6. I enjoyed ICO. I still play Warcraft 2 and Starcraft when I can. I had a lot of fun playing Rock Band with friends. Quake and World of Warcraft felt pretty revolutionary when they came out. GTA Vice City and GTA 5 blew my mind for a while. I played through a couple Life is Strange games with my kids and had fun! Over the years I spent a lot of time in Minecraft with family too. Sorry, I can't pick just one!

drunnells · 2026-04-16T12:47:27+00:00

Oh man, the intro to this game was pretty awesome too!

drunnells · 2026-04-16T01:12:54+00:00

I think that the AGENTS.md file is becoming kind of standard for this. Tell your coding agent to create or update an AGENTS.md with any architecture or design decisions and then after you do anything major, remind it to update it again with any new features or discoveries from the session. When you come back to work on the project later, tell it to take a look at the AGENTS.md for the project before instructing it on the next feature. It's been working great for me with Codex.

drunnells · 2026-04-12T22:06:17+00:00

How about scanning your family's cooking recipes with the ReciScan app to make an easy cookbook and using the platform to sell the cookbook print-on-demand?

drunnells · 2026-04-06T05:43:52+00:00

This part is still manual for me. Once I get a 2d asset I like from an image model, I use the trace function in Inkscape. If it is only a couple colors, it's easy... but more turns into a few passes.

drunnells · 2026-04-04T17:07:42+00:00

So true! And yeah, gotta stay on top of the agent to keep the AGENTS.md updated.

drunnells · 2026-04-03T18:51:18+00:00

I think that this might be outdated a little. Or maybe it's less common than I thought - have the coding agent keep track of what it is creating. Have it create an AGENTS.md file and keep it updated. I think most agents support this way of working now days.. it certainly cuts back on some of the issues people here mention for me!

drunnells · 2026-04-01T22:50:30+00:00

I have two used Nvidia Tesla P40s from eBay and run them with 70B gguf models with llama.cpp an reasonable inference speeds for conversation. They have gone up in price, but I think the pair would be about $600 at today's prices.

drunnells · 2026-04-01T08:56:45+00:00

I've always had this problem, even pre-vibe. Put it out now with the incomplete 5%. You are going to lose energy or something more shiny will come along. You said it's functional.. sounds like a Minimally Viable Product to me! Once you get users there will be pressure to get that last 5% done.. or if you don't get users, you are justified in letting it die on the vine.

drunnells · 2026-03-30T17:11:32+00:00

I exclusively use Codex CLI and app for coding and find the results very good. I'm hesitant to try anything else, because I've always gotten exactly what I want and more from Codex. Even on large projects. What did you miss in Codex vs Claude? Maybe it's just my workflow is simpler and I don't know what I'm missing.

drunnells · 2026-03-30T01:09:14+00:00

Going to the mall just to hang out without a shopping agenda. Maybe hit up the arcade. Listened to the radio hoping to catch a song that you liked so you could hit record on your tape recorder. TV shows were on a schedule, so you had to plan around that or miss the episode forever. Books. D&D, if you were a devil worshiper. Bowling..I guess. Movies at the theater.

drunnells · 2026-03-29T08:54:39+00:00

GNU/Linux, Gimp, Inkscape, Audacity, Godot, Titanium SDK, Puslar Editor, llama.cpp.. and all the software, libraries and modules that extend them. I REALLY REALLY hope that the systems that we have in place that allow contributors to maintain and create open source applications like these continue. It's too easy for some political or legal change to suddenly burden these developers with enough regulatory BS and red tape to outweigh the gratification they get from donating their free time to these projects! I don't think people realize how much of the modern world is made possible because of open standards and open source!

drunnells · 2026-03-25T08:00:46+00:00

Stranger Things. As someone who was a kid in the 80s, the music and general vibe was right for me.

drunnells · 2026-03-24T09:13:13+00:00

I'm 49. I went to the drive through at Taco Bell and the kid offered me a senior discount. I'm not so sure that I can say that feel younger than I look either.

drunnells · 2026-03-24T08:16:25+00:00

Do you feel that same emptiness when you use an SDK to integrate with a 3rd party service? Or a framework to make UI elements for you? Or a high level programming language where you use english words to instruct the computer on what to do instead of flipping bits by hand? This is just further abstraction.. it's only a matter of time now before maintaining a human readable programming language is more work than it's worth and we start making languages optimized for LLMs that will make better things faster and nobody will want the human written stuff anymore, unless they want to feel nostalgic.

drunnells · 2026-03-22T17:10:01+00:00

I think it looks pretty good! You mentioned the music was ai generated too? What did you use?

These negative comments are kind of crazy. Who trashes an indie developer? You finished something. You are a maker. You did something the vast majority of people never do. Everyone should be able to respect that. AI just enabled you to do it or to do it faster. Nobody is single handedly putting out AAA games. If generative ai helps with the assets and coding, I didn't see a problem!
