Excited for this next step for @pspdfkit. Thanks to everyone who supported us on the way to here, special shout-out to PSPDFKit's new CTO @cloud8421.

PSPDFkit raises $116M, its first outside money; now nearly 1B people use apps powered by its collaboration, signing and markup tools tcrn.ch/3opHhRu by @ingridlunden
Very excited that we can publicly show this soon.
We've been cooking @nutrientdocs on a PDF, DOCX, and other common document file types converter to Markdown packaged as a simple CLI library. On all our benchmarks we've done so far it's the fastest available by a long shot, most token efficient, and on par with accuracy of the top libraries.
- 2x faster than liteparse that was just released.
- 5x faster than pymupdf
- 4x faster than markit who @badlogicgames just praised for its speed.
- 3x faster than Microsoft's markitdown.
We'll be releasing the converter as freemium closed sourced here soon. Stay tuned.
Let me know if your interested in early access.
Been playing with poor man's fast mode AKA Kimi 2.5 via OpenCode Zen on pi.
Polished and open sourced what I use for making sure my tmux panes on my Hetzner workstation keep being able to access the ssh agent no matter how much I disconnect/reconnect github.com/MSch/ssh-agent-mo…
Tried to get this to work with caddy and ran into a bug: github.com/caddyserver/caddy…
Cool, whatever, worked around it.
Then I ran into a showstopper: @Cloudflare doesn't respect Vary.
There's a lesson here I'm just not sure I like it.
First thing to do with a new B2B vendor is figuring out how to continuously sync the data into your own datalake^W postgres
Salesforce actually has a nice pull based api to sync objects. Other vendors… not so much.

Second time I ran into this. So codex is now babysitting me? What do you think `--sandbox danger-full-access` is supposed to do? github.com/openai/codex/issu…

I've just been doing Incus containers on my Hetzner box. Not as fancy but runs on my own hw, and 192 GB RAM is nice to have. linuxcontainers.org/incus/ and you know… ssh
Sprites is a very cool new thing: it solves two of my pet problems at once, developer sandbox environments for coding agents and a JSON API for executing untrusted code

github.com/racket/rhombus/bl… that looks like a really nice programming language
So what do you (yes, you!) recommend for collaborative coding and hosting of tiny (in this case) Python scripts?
Unfortunately @Replit's Python support seems broken (I failed to get both poetry and the Flask integration to work; also tried the Beta env) so I need an alternative
Ok so I just experienced my first go-around (on @Ryanair FR722 9H-IHL) - pretty scary experience obviously - anyone know where I can find out what caused it? Flight attendant said 'they just had to wait a bit for the stairs' - yeah sure 🙄

"So, my dear Adeimantus, you cannot be in favor of global convergence and also in favor of keeping the same people on the top. It is mathematically impossible. If convergence is good then this global reshuffling in incomes is also good."

I'm maybe getting old, but Apple's idea of Apple Vision being used at home felt very lonely and asocial to me. I wish they'd have gone in a different direction with the future of computing. I'd happily spend 3500 to fit out a room instead dynamicland.org
