Trying out again, this new package manager is good idea, but not very intuitive. I run:

zig fetch https://github.com/marlersoft/zigwin32

And it doesn't recognize GitHub URLs, sigh, I have to manually type the commit hash as well?

What is the point, shouldn't the zig fetch get the latest commit hash and put it to my build.zig.zon as a dependency?

Why can't built-in browser (like in Google Chrome and Firefox) password managers can't handle exact URLs? There is nothing worse than password manager that tries to fill your password in wrong fields.

Keepass HTTP connector which I've been using also can do it, but browser extensions for that has gone unmaintained. I'm planning to write my own, but it's one of those chore tasks I'd rather not.

C# 13 is adding the ability to make extensions properties, this means we can build a scientific units library or financial units library with the nice syntax:

(15.mm + 12.inch) / 12.sec

or

(15.eur + 1200.dollars) / 12.months

Will be (most likely) a valid syntax by adding extension properties mm, inch, sec, kg for integers.

What is this, Cygwin and JQ doesn't play well together:

Looks like the Windows version of JQ doesn't work well in the Cygwin environment, it just acts as if it does but it doesn't. One needs to install Cygwin version of the JQ.

WordPress' API-based content delivery for mobile apps is a bit nightmare, most of those use custom plugins, and there is zero guarantees they work with load balancers and cache mechanisms.

My go-to way to implement read-only API is very simple and cacheable: Create cron scripts that produce JSON files.

The mobile app then reads JSON file URLs. This is simple and easy to understand for caching systems. Even if the cache system malfunctions, it scales a bit as they are just files.

The problem with YubiKey and other smart cards is that their decisions are leading the implementation. One such is that you can't clone keys even if you own it.

In reality, this only hinders cloning but doesn't prevent it. Who in their sane mind thinks that YubiKey is safe if you lose it? Nobody, so why can't we allow cloning it? Why is cloning reserved only for hardware hackers?

image system isn't up to date, many Mac users began uploading photos as PNG images about two years ago.

It's unfortunate WP still has no out-of-the-box solution to convert huge PNGs to JPG files.

This is turning out to be the most annoying part of : moving tabs. It's just slow compared to Chrome, the windows get in the way all the time with Firefox's logic.

Someone has done a demonstration video about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRuBDH32hPI

Why stops updating the view if you have more than one slack browser window open? It's really screwing things up.

People implementing WinAPI libraries for languages should take into account how to auto-import by name.

If I type in my code editor: WM_MAXIMIZE, FindWindowEx, LoadImageW, PostMessage, and so on, how do I auto-import it from your library?

With Rust and window-rs it's constant looking up the docs for features to import. That is highly inconvenient compared to how it was with C.

Satya Nadella is trying to bring back old Mac-vs-Windows kerfuffles, and I like it:

"Apple's done a fantastic job of really innovating on the Mac, we are gonna outperform them."

Waiting for that counter punch from Tim at the WWDC.

I love that Microsoft takes a trend, and then takes it to the ultimate cringe. Now everything is Copilot+PC, ... Copilot+PC!

And in typical Microsoft fashion, it's not even a one-word it's some weird combination with plus: Copilot+PC.

Jupyter notebooks could use a cell type that is data tables, like small Excel sheets.

What I figured that for most things I would prefer Python Notebook instead of Excel, but what I want is a mix of both. Add a small sheet, then code the cell ...

Good Jack Dorsey interview: https://www.piratewires.com/p/interview-with-jack-dorsey-mike-solana - he just fails to see that Nostr or any other protocol won't survive without a hit application.

Bluesky's Paul Frazee's answer is a good take on it: https://bsky.app/profile/pfrazee.com/post/3ks3iv5iwqs22 - Bluesky wouldn't even exist if they were doing just protocol.

Oh, Arc for Windows just came out. Testing that now.

Initial impression, this is meant for people who don't have 16 virtual desktops 😀

I have 16 virtual desktops and the features Arc provides are not useful for me. Sidebar for tabs, ability to make split views (I can already snap windows side by side), archiving tabs.
