   Huh? I have a 5 year old, mid range android, and I still buy things online. Not everyone cares about phones.

   Devils advocate, but I code using US spelling for variable names, and avoid using Imperial terms to US English speakers because if they can't wrap their minds around me being in the southern hemisphere and my summer being their winter,

   So despite the new clothing, Germany is still a conservative digital dinosaur underneath, pretending to be cool and modern. "How do you do fellow Kinder?"[1] It's funny to me how German speakers thing it's cool and mod

   frankly that sentiment comes across as deeply arrogant and unpleasant I don't care what you think about me.

   It's so cool to see machines from an age when Germans still referred to technical things using their native language.

   Why? What is Detroits grievance with him? I suppose a fair few 'detroit techno' artists are not from there.

   Yeah I associate techno a lot more with Detroit than Berlin. Detroit in Effect, Jeff Mills, Plastikman...

    I'm somewhat into techno, and I cannot name a single artist from Berlin. If I zoom out further into EDM in general, I think of Paul van Dyk, but that's literally it. My knowledge is dated, but it does fall in the realm of "po

    That would surely be impossible. TB is designed from the ground up to do one thing and do that one thing well. Postgres is a swiss army knife, and TB is a knife.

    I think when historians look back on this period of history, they will have interesting things to say about journalists, their extra rights that other citizens are not afforded, their immense power, and their complete lack of accountability

    Enjoying this article. It's an area of computing I am very weak on, and it's really good to see an intelligent formulation of the why and how of multi-threaded computing in a broader context.

    Sounds like twitter acted more ethically than government department. So I guess I choose twitter.

    Do you believe Israelis and non-Israelis are equal? Is the life of a Palestinian worth that of an Israeli?

    Then it's a wildy disproportionate military operation. Israeli lives are not worth 40x Palestinian ones.

    Open your eyes. That's just post justification for when the IDF destroys schools, mosques and hospitals.

    Let's be generous and take Israeli estimates: 10,000 civilians, excluding Hamas fighters. The initial militant attack took 253 people hostage. As reprehensible as that is, it's not worth 10,000 civilian deaths.

    I'm not reading that as hate, I read that as criticising systemd in the context of a stripped down system designed to do one thing. I have systemd on the laptop I am typing on right now. Do I want it on some tiny embedded linux device?

    My completely anecdotal and unscientific impression is that rust is on the upwards trends, mandate or not. Does anyone in 2024 still want to make a greenfield C++ project? I don't. Nothing really to do with memory safety, it's mai

    TIL about BipBuffers. I've been struggling with a similar data structure, and to see it already has a name, and a better implementation than what I've been doing, is very welcome.

    On the one hand I am glad to see sceptisim of serverless gaining mainstream acceptance. On the otherhand, I fear it will just turn into an unreasoned backlash against technology that is often useful if not as often as its early proponents s
