Anyone know if the MEX debugger extension is still being maintained?.

Really enjoyed interviewing @TartanLlama about "Building a Debugger". This is a wonderful book for anyone who wants to learn more about how an OS, compiler, and debugger work together. It's not just for people who want to build a debugger!.
Implementing a debugger teaches deep systems knowledge! @timmisiak and @tartanllama explore fundamentals, stack unwinding complexity, and the future with time-travel debugging.

Who decided these sharp edges on the macbook pro was a good idea. I must be holding it wrong.

Love the optimism of these electronics companies. A new 7 inch LCD is going to free my world.

I'm thinking about what a programming language would be like if every single function call could potentially be distributed to another compute node, controlled by a runtime. Does anything like that exist? Closest I can think of is erlang but that's not quite what I'm going for.

My 20 year old alarm clock is finally dying, so my new project is to build an alarm clock out of a raspi and a cheap 7 inch LCD. Wanted an oled but I can't find one in the right size. Now I need to figure out what pointless features I should add.

I think a lot of people don't see this coming, but communication skills are going to be more important than ever in most industries. Clear, unambiguous documentation will be as helpful for AI as it is for humans.

I tried using ChatGPT and Claude to create a small breakout game in JS. They gave me nearly identical games with the exact same colors, spacing. and bugs!

Who decided on macos that Cmd + Tab uses a stack for apps and Cmd + Backtick uses a ring for windows within an app. How does that make any sense?.

Considering how amazing chatgpt advanced voice mode is, it's pretty astounding how *bad* the memory system is still.

It seems like every company has the "whoops I rebased wrong and now this PR emailed every person in the company" problem.

I'm pretty impressed with advanced voice mode in chatgpt. It seems to handle switching between languages within a single utterance pretty well. Interestingly it seems like the text transcription doesn't always capture both languages even when the response seems to respond to both.

I cannot sing enough praise for UFO 50. This collection is an absolute bargain for $25. I've only played about 5 of the games so far and I've gotten my money's worth. Retro style goodness from some of my favorite indie devs.
