Usenet was(is?) moderated similar, to IRC, Discord and so on with some newsgroups needing moderator approval for every single post. Also, there was a lot of drama on Usenet. I don't think it's that different from the fediverse. I

You're right, landsbytosse doesn't not translate well. To be fair the literal translation is village fool, which isn't much better. It's meaning would be more along the lines of village eccentric, which could be the vill

I think the fatalism comes from having done a lot in our personal lives to live more sustainable, voting for green politics (in Europe you can find those everywhere on the political spectrum). You'll even find a "if it's yell

I think you will find that a lot of people find that to be a feature of the federated networks. It's how society works outside of social networks. You aren't likely to see football fans of different teams sharing pubs here in Euro

I've worked with C# for a decade, and Go for the past 5ish years and I think the biggest difference between them is in the philosophical design on implicity and explicity. I have a strong dislike for C# like languages these days, but i

I think the environmental aspect is interesting and worth discussing. Around the offices the common joke is that people will "just burn down a piece of the rainforest" when they fire up their AI to solve some complex problem. Whic

We get UV to generate a requirements.txt and then use the Python and Pip which is available on the official Microsoft container images we use for Azure container apps once it hits production. I've never had any issues with the build sy

UV, Ruff and Pyrefy and you're set. As someone who works with Python, Typescript and C/Zig quite a lot I don't disagree with you on Typescript, but I'm not sure why you'd pick Typescript over Python. Bun is kind of

I'm not sure there is any value in knowing shit about AI. I know quite a lot about enterprise organisation level AI, but really, you could just ask an AI and it'd guide you through the processes. Knowledge in general is going to b

I think it does. I know this is through Microsoft, but they give you a month free of Cowork which is currently Opus 4.8 (or at least they did for us) and I doubt we'd ever go back. When I say "we" it's the enterprise org

I think orchestration is the perfect description. In enterprise you have a bunch of standard systems which play by their own tune, and even with a lot of the "low-code" options you're going to build systems that transfer data

It depends. Ah, well I guess it's a litlle unfair to say that because in the context of your question I absolutely didn't mean for it to be taken literally and I should've been more clear. It does depend on domain though. For

In systems engineering this was proven in court when you have one engineer writing specs and another implementing the "samish" system from those specs, but I'm not sure that would relate to any of the art assets made by the o

I'm not very familiar with Rust, but doesn't cargo pull a lot of external dependencies for most projects? I really like how Go can do everything with just the standard library, but I wasn't aware Rust was similar. For typescr

I think what is crazy here is that the USA can block a Dutch company from selling their products. Don't get me wrong, this would have made sense in the world 15 years ago, but today? We all know that China plays dirty, but all those US

Ironic is claiming that Napoleon destroyed civil society, when his reforms are in many ways the foundation for modern civil society. Rule of law, national public education, the concept of a national bank, formation of the middle class, and

No kidding, I was considering one to replace my 8g air m1. Which was questionable to begin with performance wise, but it's so worn after all these years. Certainly won't do it now.

Companies like Sonatype would be an issue since they are owned by USA private equity. We would not give "Vista Equity" access to anything with the current EU US relationship. It's bad enough that we're so tied into Micro

Working in the EU energy sector where we have to work with NIS2 compliance, I'd argue that your security team rightly pointed it out. I suspect that's what you mean though, and the rightly is just there because you agree with it b

This is what I meant by the grey zone. I personally think it goes too far, but I agree with the point you make here. Where it becomes problematic is that the method does not get the point across to any audience which doesn't already ag

I think it depends a little on how and where you work. In the energy industry of Europe where we are extremely regulated AI has been writing some excellent and maintainable code. Of course we can't do any of that CLEAN SOLID DRY stuff,

Microsoft quietly won the AI race in enterprise with the addition of cowork to their copilot app. Being in the energy sector in Europe we're quite limited in what we can do because of things like NIS2 compliance. We have access to corp

Your experience is apparently different than mine. I went from using our corporate tool to copilot cowork when it became available to us. From opus 4.6 to 4.8 and there has been a massive difference. It's ridiculously good at programmi
