On the contrary, consumption and energy use went up, not to mention waste. That video game needs 600-700 watts per client and most of it is created very inefficiently, using fossil fuels. People still drive up and down too, and there are mo

Software needs hardware to create economic growth, namely data centers and disposable computers (smartphones, notebooks, smart watches, routers and so on). It doesn't matter if they are more energy efficient either if you keep making m

They are in this situation because Elon Musk keeps haphazardly pulling the ground under them. There is no larger purpose other than an incompetent, vindictive billionaire trying to save money after buying something he didn't want. Like

But that's not what serverless means. The idea behind serverless is that you only deploy the code and the cloud provider takes care of everything else, using their servers. Function as a Service is an example. https://en.wik

It looks like you are right, it saves offline-enabled content to a number of encrypted blobs only the official app can play. I wouldn't now, I use yt-dlp that can also make use of YouTube cookies, since otherwise YouTube is not DRM pro

Telling engineers to break the law is astounding, but it's on par for Elon Musk. It's a good way to ensure that only the sycophants and hopeless optimists will remain at the company. That works for SpaceX, useful people are still

YouTube Premium is completely ad-free though, and it also let's you download videos and music for offline use without any DRM.

I wouldn't say it's the worst, it's pretty snappy, and have a low energy impact. Reddit's spinner loaders can take forever, and your browser occasionally chokes on all the JavaScript needed for the ghastly SPA experience

Things are going good. The Chief Information Security Officer, the Chief Privacy Officer and the Chief Compliance Officer are all gone for good, along with half of the employees, basically everyone needed to keep things running. It is a rem

Quantum physics is a low-level approach to understanding the Universe, not you life. This is like saying that you studied the microprocessor executing a chess program in order to understand how chess is played. We don't live in the qua

This is what I love about the cryptoverse. This article stops just an inch before calling this sociopath the second coming of Jesus, while he was turning everyone's money into useless monopoly money, and now that the bagholders are pro

1. There is already popular service called Fastlane. 2. It's a Python script. A few functions and a simple CLI, not an entire "self-hosted" "serverless" password manager. It's a stateless password manager. Ther

I have been rewatching this wonderfully convoluted anime a few times every year for the last 10 years, it just tickles something in me. I don't think it's really about the internet, technology just fits into a larger social commen

An ergonomic keyboard layout like Workman doesn't hurt either. QWERTY was made with typewriter jamming in mind, sacrificing ergonomics completely, especially for English.

This piece only came out now because everyone is dropping Trump like hot potato, betting on DeSantis who happens to be waging the same useless culture war Trump does. In fact you will barely find one Republican who have a platform other tha

For Twitter the backend infrastructure is what's interesting, half of which is dedicated to storing data.

On the contrary, after the horror stories coming from Ubisoft and Activision Blizzard, sometimes requiring the government to intervene, my expectation is really low. If anything this is a dull affair since nobody got killed or sexually har

I knew Marty's open letter was bullshit back then when I first read it since the game was originally set to release in 2019, and here he was talking about not having Mick under contract for the OST in January 2020. It was also suspicio

I wouldn't charge the content creators for one, they are the lifeblood of the platform. I would do the opposite, I would let them charge their fans with membership tiers and such. I would also provide an API for content creators to be

Another happy landing for cryptocurrency, making the world a better place one terrorist state at a time. They also shared their client data with Russia.

I think most of us can get away with being sloppier than that. I like the simple structure of the Linux git commits. They start with a scope, which is how the directories in the repository are organized. I would rather spend effort on comin

The world is returning to poverty because we are running out of key resources, and the environment is becoming hostile to us, mostly as a result of greenhouse gases. You should stop listening to loudmouths on social media, they are using th

It's costly and risky to have cheap tiers though. Transactions have a fixed cost, and small transactions tend to be more fraudulent. Fraudulent transactions are not only costly, but if your chargeback rate reaches 1% most financial ins

We can pretend that we are doing amazing, shattering one growth target after another, but this is not the reality. Reality is not liberal bullshit, it's consequences are real. Admitting we have a problem is the first step, which is why

Iran doesn't have free elections, and it's ruled by a Supreme Leader, who is the highest political and religious authority. It's a patriarchal society. Iran is ranked 140 out of 144 for gender parity and things only got worst

Currently 16 of the 290 are women or 5.9%, and sex absolutely has everything to do with it. It's a patriarchal society and women lack many basic rights and are treated horribly. The protest is a reaction to a 22-year old woman killed f

He did got this far by listening to the right people. And by being born rich, meeting the right people at the right time, being subsidized by the government, and delivering unique products with a great story and the help of the right people
