I think you’ve got it backwards: “Piracy is a service problem, not a pricing problem.” is the thing that people on this forum say. When I was a teenager in the late 00’s, I could totally rent “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” from Blockbuste

That feels a little “no true scotsman” to me. Like sure, if implemented correctly, Shift Left isn’t “developers are now also testers and can sign off on stories”. But in practice, it often becomes that. And while some may say that “that’s n

I disagree. Crypto sucked up the limited number of consumer GPUs in existence, and manufacturers weren’t willing to scale up production since they knew that when crypto crashed the demand would revert to the mean and all the mining GPUs wou

Some would argue that the colonialism that created the status quo was pretty obviously discriminatory. Removing the last vestige of their sovereignty would be like saying “now that we’ve undemocratically seized your land, changed how it was

I just feel like the big tech companies have gotten better at capturing the value of their platforms. It’s not the same as it was in 2008. I don’t think we’re going to see anything like the “manage an indie app as a lifestyle business” boom

Also don’t do it on top of a frisbee in the middle of an Ultimate match. The frisbee’s downward-sloping geometry will cause the alcohol to fall off and the Observer will generally not take your side.

Pretty sure these were animated in Blender. This feels pretty doable with Geometry Nodes, and the particular look of the blurred reflections in the floor trips my “it’s Blender” sense.

So when I use, say, ffmpeg: In what sense am I their product? They don’t collect telemetry, they don’t serve me ads, the output can be used with any other tool so there’s no lock in, there’s no FFmpeg Pro (TM) with features withheld from th

The idea of someone unironicly promoting Marinetti (a co-author of the Fascist Manifesto) in 2023 is mind-blowing. I get the idea of wanting to be optimistic about technology, but Marinetti is a cautionary tale of how optimism about technol

I think that’s largely meant as some combination of a joke and an indemnification of the person saying it. I think it’s common knowledge that everyone who does this is using a file they downloaded from a site they found through Google.

Uhhh, $180k is an awesome developer salary in the US (as long as you’re not talking about silicon valley salaries, which most Americans aren’t). There are also definitely juniors in the US making $60k (and probably even less).

I think the idea here is more like “donate $1000/mo, have it distributed across the projects” rather than, say, “donate $10 to each project in the list.”
