"Signalling System 7, or SS7, is a decades-old set of protocols that allows phone networks to communicate with one another, routing messages and calls across borders. It was never designed with security in mind, and while operators ha

The Sqlite team in stuck in the classic dilemma. They are stuck with their existing thing because it is so big, that you can't just stop the world for you existing users and redo it. Meanwhile some small innovator comes along and build

It's a story that's very similar to Windows Vista. It gets a lot of hate for breaking stuff at the time it was originally released, but the reason it broke stuff is because it put in a new foundation for later releases to build up

Gnome is just plain not the best choice for default. More people are better served with KDE for instance.

The average Linux user is not your grandma and lets not overstate how easy it is to mess up your KDE config. Most of the config ui in KDE is delightful compared to other desktop environments, and most non-technical users would shy away from

I absolute abhor a slippery slope argument that doesn't actually justify why and how this particular slope is slippery. Hand waving that something kinda sorta similar happened before is not good enough. Why and how will keeping some ch

Internet comments are all kinda insufferable in this way, because most of what you get are complainers while the happy people stay silent. There must be a name for this phenomenon.

Here's my best advice of prompt engineering for hard problems. Always funnel out and then funnel in. Let me explain. State your concrete problem and context. Then we funnel out by asking the AI to do a thorough analysis and investigate

I have long time experience building huge web applications in both Angular, React, and Svelte, and my experience exactly the opposite. Anecdote meet anecdote. You really have to be more specific.

What magic does Svelte have that Vue doesn't have? I like both - they seem so very comparable to me. Only fundamental differences I see are matters of syntax, which are very much a matter of taste.

Svelte version 3 used to statically analyze at compile time which things could change which things and it would build a "direct" reactivity system from that. So kinda both compile time and runtime. But Svelte 5 changed to use a si

Yeah I make maybe two or three attempts at getting it to write a plan that it is able to follow coherently. But after that I pull the escape hatch and *gasp* program by hand. I've made this mistake of doubling down after a few initial

They have way underpowered cpus compared to what you can get for the same money elsewhere. They're just a bad deal.

This is why "follow you passion" is terrible career advise. If you make your passion your work then it stops being your "passion". Much better career advise I've heard is: What kind you shit are you much better at s

I had to quit Reddit after a decade of heavy use because of the doomerism. It's a place you go if you want to kill your spirit. It's just not healthy.

Did Jonathan Blow really compare a datacenter and a laptop as comparable means or production? The guy is smart, but many of his opinions are those of a man who doesn't get much pushback on what he says. It's a common curse of succ

Does anyone have autocomplete that is half as good as Cursors? I just tried vanilla vs code with github copilot and it was terrible. Not worth paying for bad.

Vs code tab complete is still so bad there's no point even having it.

I tried vanilla vs code again three weeks ago. The tab complete was so slow and gave such poor results that I had to crawl back to Cursor after not even a full week. Cursor is sooo fast and useful in comparison.
