Idk for UX but I’ve found Claude helpful at creating ideas and mockups for gui apps I need. Don’t ask it to generate any images or vectors, it’s horrible at that, but you ask it to make a mock for an app so and so that does such and such and has three columns with a blah blah blah and it has made some impressive results in html/css for me
Since employment is apparently the highest achievement a person can aspire to, this post and emacs users in general, must be of such lesser value I guess? /s
A few years ago I switched to KDE and the experience has been so absolutedly seamless and good, and the upgrade to Plasma 6 took some time to propagate down to distros it was well worth the wait!
It seems to be that a project like KDE might be in a very good position to make a very competitive distro simply because they are starting from the point of the user experience, the UI if you will. Think M$ windows, it IS GUI, and fully focused on how the user would use it (I'm thinking the days of XP and Win 7).
A KDE distro might be less encumbered with "X11 vs Wayland" or "flatpak vs <insert package manager name here>" discussions and can fully focus on the user experience that KDE/Plasma desktop brings!
It seems that it was only about time… it just feels like the pace of enshittification with big tech being able to get away with anything is crazy!
I’m hoping that projects like Precursor can take off because we’ve buried ourselves in such mountain of complexity that seems like only a billion/trillion dollar big tech company can make an OS.
But then again, some body called BS on browsers and we might have a good option soon in Ladybug!
Sublime is not open source and it has a very devout paying client base.
To me the dirty thing is to make something “open source” because developers absolutely love that, to then take an arguably “not open source” path of $42 mil in VC funding.
I can see the point of sameness in homeschooling, but compared to traditional education? I’m not sure how much flexibility one would have to teach oneself calculus by 11 or the equivalent of an undergrad in math by 14!
That flexibility must be found in something non-traditional!
I’m no prodigy at all whatsoever but school was mostly dull and filled with teenager drama! Nobody knew what Linux was, cared about music production or anything interesting! The talk was which boy/girl whatever
> …the company's AI coding agent deleted a code base and lied about its data.
Well, lying about it certainly human-like behavior, human-like AGI must be just around the corner!

But really, full access to a production database? How many good engineer’s advice you need to ignore to do that? Who was consulted before running the experiment?
Or was it just a “if you say so boss…” kind of thing?
I think there’s an element of fear in the self-taught engineer? I am self taught and even after over a decade of experience impostor syndrome is still going strong!
At the same time I’ve been surprised by graduates when they come across something and say “I didn’t see that in school”, like, what!? I thought the job was mostly learning on the go!
I’ve been finding this tool so useful to transfer files between devices in my local network. Linux to iOS, macOS to Windows, all with no friction. Love it!
That is impressive, specially the drone surviving! I expect something along the lines of disposable drones, which would like still be cost effective at saving 100-200b yen a year!
It’ll be fascinating seeing this deployed!
This sounds interesting! I find journaling very tedious but I think is my ADHD brain that doesn’t wanna do anything too annoying. I’m not sure how from audio journaling Id get stats like MAE and MFE, apart from general win ratio and accuracy percentage… but I’m sure different stuff works for different people
