Could’ve ended with “I should get back to doing the thing”

Trying so hard to make it a typed language

[maleldil → hrtk]

Yes, please. Given I'm forced to use Python, I'd welcome any "compile time" tools I can get. These days, it's using pyright with strict mode, which is pretty good, but there's still a long way to go.

I don’t know windows programming and this was a very interesting (nightmare-ish) post.

I had a few questions I asked ChatGPT to understand better: https://chatgpt.com/share/677411f9-b8a0-8013-8724-8cdff8dc4d...

Very interesting insights about low level programming in general

[rramadass → hrtk]

That's a pretty good use case for ChatGPT. Do you do this often? And if so, are your results specific to debugging consistently good?

[hrtk → rramadass]

Yes, I complement GPT answers with Google search for original documentations just to be sure. Results do contain hallucinations at times but can be easily verified.

1. Siri treating it as unlocked on device

2. setup shortcuts with a timer to access mic when disconnected from a Mac.

3. add BT/Wifi devices when connected to Mac (aka persistence by author).

4. stolen device protection bypass given you have Mac signed in with same Apple ID.

Can you share the `loader-spinner.gif` ? Preferably over a service that does not recompress it.

On: I Miss the Old Internet (2019)

[hrtk]

I have never seen the old internet but looking at the remains of it, it does appear really interesting. It is sad that the most popular search engine throws complete garbage at you when there still exist fabulous websites with real content.
