The computer of the future will have energy consuming components locked to ethical uses only. Playing call of duty? Your GPU is power capped at 50W. Folding proteins to cure cancer? You get the full 250W.

It's strange how clippy was pretty universally reviled and became the textbook example for bad UX, but now just about every app and website I use is forever popping up little info alerts. Oh, hey, seems like you're busy, would you like to learn more about how we reshuffled menu items this week? Apparently, UI designers read that chapter and came to a different conclusion than I did.

Using OpenAI's ChatGPT API, iTerm2 can now write commands for you, interpret the output of commands, and guide you towards a goal.

Oh, hot diggity, at long last my dream of true rm autocomplete is here.

There's an old unix (maybe multics or ITS) parable about a shell that would correct errors by finding the closest match, which was quickly disabled after it ate something important.

I'm amazed that allegedly tech savvy companies still keep their engineering blog on medium. Like, the primary purpose of your blog is to recruit interns right? Do you think the full screen ad for medium pro, only $5/month, is helping? Why do you want another company's sales funnel sitting in front of your recruitment funnel?

Rust is clearly superior to go based on the most obviously objective scientific measure: the number of blog posts about how strings work. Nobody writes blog posts about strings in go, pathetic, but a vast literature has been developed to explain the greatness of rust strings.

I have a bunch of usb-c cables and some carry data and some only carry power, and it seems annoying to figure out which is which, but it's actually really easy. The three foot cables do everything, and the six and eight foot cables are power only.
