Maybe he meant to assign slopness to the AI?

He did not code his own desktop environment, it’s just hyprland.

Because github does not offer the option to (and no, running github enterprise doesn't count).

Not really a reasonable excuse considering this is completely broken for self hosted runners / paying customers (for a whole day).

Can you share a source for this? it's not that I don't believe you but I've had difficulties finding one.

Oh that is pretty gross, thanks for sharing. I was not aware of that process, that explains the cost they attempted to roll out for runners too a few months back.

I love how even self hosted workers don't work during these outages - running jobs on their infrastructure being flakey is marginally acceptable, but the API to simply schedule workflows having this availability is mind boggling. Github just doesn't seem like a serious company anymore.

Wow this is really poor justification for its name, the folks at cloudflare really should not be overloading the term "Operating System" pointlessly like this.

This is really approaching peak AI psychosis

You need a "traditional" operating system to even run your LLM, or do you have your own custom collection of drivers you flash your machine with? :p

Having an embedded scripting engine for large programs is nice for simplicity and keeping configuration modular - it would be messy to need to modify source constantly. It’s not an issue of it being difficult to compile something so much as it being pointlessly difficult to maintain.

I think you're missing the forest for the trees with this statement and it makes your comment seem a bit reductive. It's not so much a dismissal of writing on a particular product (iPad) as much as the article is about optimal writing by hand, the best materials, and some of the reasoning as to why.

While you may be convinced writing on a screen or tablet is objectively superior to doing things the "old way" there is literature on the topic indicating otherwise you might want to consider - that being said, everyone is different in their preferences and anatomy. I for one can't stand to write on a plastic/glass surface with a stylus, the ergonomics feel wrong and my retention for journaling is significantly worse.

That’s a fair approach, thanks for elaborating. I think the main point of contention is there is an expectation this software should be more reliable, that doesn’t take away from your approach, running close sourced software like a harness (or operating system) is asking for problems.
