I tried to switch to Mouser, but it leaked memory like crazy, taking sometimes tens of GB of RAM so I just vibed a replacement based on my very specific needs.

It takes 3.5MB of RAM currently.

Just don't use the cloud version of Metabase. You can self host it and not allow accessing it over the internet.

I'm 6 months in and it has definitely ended my life as it was and nothing is the same. I'm pretty lucky that my wife gives me almost 16 hours of free time daily, from which 8 I work and 8 is for sleep. If I want to work out or do something else I need to steal it from the sleep time. It's pretty early though so I might be looking back in a few years and think that it was not that bad actually :)

I've been following this before it was made public and I'm a big Zig fan so I would definitely switch to this, but I've tried and failed many times. Currently it just keeps crashing multiple times (on three different machines) each day on my mac and the quick terminal doesn't support full screen mode (it still shows the menu bar). I could live with the menu bar showing, but because of the constant crashing I'll wait for a bit and check back in a few months.

One of the white Macbooks used 50 screws to fasten the keyboard. Once I spilled some juice on it and had to replace it. Took forever, but at least back then it was not too expensive or difficult.

I lived in Edinburgh a while back and there are multiple chippies where you can get one.

Part of the definition of vibe coding is not looking at the code. If you read code you are not "vibing" anymore, you are just using AI tools to write code.

Interesting, if partitioning is not a useful concept of Kafka, what are some of the better alternatives for controlling consumer concurrency?

Very cool! I thought maybe I'll take a crack at building a better iOS application for these things, but then I remembered that for the Lightning connector you needed to get the permission of the manufacturer if you wanted to interface with a device (tried that once with a Lightning Yubikey and luckily they didn't have any objections). Is this not an issue anymore with USBC iPhones?

I would switch over to Zed for all my non-JVM needs if only it would have a debugger support. Currently it's filling a role of a text editor pretty well though.

If the end goal is portability for C, would Cosmopolitan Libc be a better choice because it supports a lot more features and probably runs faster?
