Why do Macs ask you to press random keys when connecting a new keyboard? – Unsung by Marcin Wichary
So, pressing the thing next to the left Shift can help Apple understand whether the keyboard is American or Japanese (always Z) or European (something else, but never Z). And pressing the thing next to the right Shift differentiates JIS (where it’s the _ key) from another keyboard (always /).
I did this recently as part of setting up my Nuphy Air 75s.
Advice to Young People, The Lies I Tell Myself - Jason Liu by Jason Liu
In the short term, you would be much happier if you accepted and admitted to yourself that the reason you don't have what you want is simply because you do not want it badly enough. The sooner you accept that, the happier you'll be. Then the next question is: Do you want to be happy or do you want to achieve what you want? It's not the last question, but it definitely is the next question.
Some wonderful pieces of advice here.
Anthropic essentially bans OpenClaw from Claude by making subscribers pay extra by Jay Peters
Using OpenClaw with Claude AI is about to get a lot more expensive, thanks to Anthropic’s new policy changes. Beginning April 4th at 3PM ET, users will “no longer be able to use your Claude subscription limits for third-party harnesses including OpenClaw,” according to an email sent to users on Friday evening. Instead, if users want to use OpenClaw with Claude, they’ll have to use a “pay-as-you-go option” that will be billed separate from their Claude subscription.
Capacity management is a real problem for these companies. This past week was the first time I hit a limit while using Claude Code. My usage is fairly nominal with Claude so it was surprising. But they are struggling with managing the increased usage of their tools.
The second thing I wondered was this - the problem with using a service like Claude is they can keep tweaking the limits as they wish and they get all the data. They are in a growth phase now, but they will look to enshittify it at some point in the future. How will things look then?
A scary thought.
Highlights from my conversation about agentic engineering on Lenny’s Podcast by Simon Willison
People talk about how important it is not to interrupt your coders. Your coders need to have solid two to four hour blocks of uninterrupted work so they can spin up their mental model and churn out the code. That's changed completely. My programming work, I need two minutes every now and then to prompt my agent about what to do next. And then I can do the other stuff and I can go back. I'm much more interruptible than I used to be.
Kind of goes against the whole deep work principle. Times sure are changing.
