  1. @mxchara I'm hoping that was sarcasm but, for fun, I'll assume it was a serious question and give a serious answer.

    It looked like an 8 Oz bottle, i.e. 1 cup. I didn't catch the exact price but IIRC it was between $4 & $5. Let's say $4.50.

    1 cup/pint * 2pint/Qt * 4Qt/Gal = 16cup/Gal

    That's $72/Gal to avoid dissolving some table sugar in tap water and pouring it into an empty beer bottle.

  6. I just saw a young person, I'm guessing in their 20s, specifically ask for and then buy a small bottle of simple syrup at one of my local liquor stores. I despair for humanity's future.

    If you don't mix cocktails and are unfamiliar with what simple syrup is, kagi it. Or, better yet, visit your local library and check out a book on basic cocktails.

  11. "The Librem 5 has 3GB of memory."

    theregister.com/2026/05/01/buy

    My first laptop had 3GB of *storage*. On a spinning magnetic drive. Can't remember how much RAM, 56MB? 128MB? It ran a Windows 9x OS, the Mate desktop I use now is superficially similar.

    Laptop software has got *so* much more bloated and inefficient in that time. Whereas I feel like the limitations of mobile (eg battery life) have forced most people developing for it to work harder for computational efficiency.

  25. Someone on our street is repeatedly using their "Mission Doorbell," instead of getting out of the car and actually going up to the door. In my fantasies I'm shaking a ripped down pillow through their car window. "Here, enjoy this bunch of goose feathers, since you like honking so much!"

  30. Just read a listing for a senior level role that included:

    "Be prepared to sacrifice your work-life balance in exchange for joining an incredible journey and learning a lot along the way."

    F2k you, no. You just received $75 million in additional funding. (total of $90 million). You should be prepared to pay for the skills you need and hire enough people for the workload.

    How about you just use the job titles instead of making me learn everyone's back story just to read basic documentation?

  45. Here's what I want to know if anyone's done with Claude Code or any other AI coding assistant / team of agents set-up:
    Build a fully functional app, with fully fleshed-out requirements, from top to bottom, with automated test cases with good code coverage that all pass.
    Now, carefully review all the code: the app code, the build code, the test harness code, the deployment code, the automated tests.
