You mention free will, but it would be an interesting conversation to discuss how much free will there is when people fight, without knowing it, against psychological manipulation, addition creation, all crafted with plenty of money and res

Nothing personal, but without receipts I am going to take this story as made up propaganda. I simply can't believe that visiting 4 health professionals, giving context about using a computer all day, nobody diagnosed a very common issu

Then you write in your own language or in broken English, or you study the language you want to write in? If you can't write a text at all (even with plenty of mistakes), you hardly can review AI output. So, you just let AI write somet

In Italian verbs for foreign words are almost always generated from the first conjugation (-are), which means "to google" is actually "googl-are". With kagi, one cannot miss the opportunity to generate a similar verb &qu

Honestly, if I had to start from scratch in my own company, I would pick zulip. That is thread friendly for real, for proper async communication. Slack threads were bolted on as a feature, and it shows. I know that in 2 this is not a proble

A classic example would be build (container build) images instructions. Of course, other examples are running a security static analysis, running tests, or whatever other standard practice is desidered for security. Say that you build 100 i

See my other comment. > when the implementation of these actions at some level live in the repo anyway This is the false assumption. You can standardize that not to happen, and you can verify at runtime that's not the case. You can

Not really, that's the point. Reusable workflow, in a tightly controlled repos avoid exactly what you are saying and they are a fairly standard practice (if anything, also to avoid having 200 versions of CI instructions). You can also

You haven't engaged with what I wrote, of course it doesn't make sense. The easiest and most accessible way to attest what has been done is to have all the logic of what needs to be done in a single context, a single place. A reus

For certain things, makefiles are great options. For others though they are a nightmare. From a security perspective, especially if you are trying to reach SLSA level 2+, you want all the build execution to be isolated and executed in a tru

I have been experiencing this on my 2k monitors as well (Also BENQ). I tried every "fix" under the sun, eventually it stops after enough voodoo (reboots, unplugs) and cursing. One of the many random issues on the OS with the best

Anthropologically speaking these statements about human fundamentals (or "human nature") end up falling flat. There have been plenty of societies organized in ways such that private property was irrelevant when existing at all. I

Guess which country had never any interest in a strong (politically and militarily) Europe, to maintain the world hegemony? A Europe with an independent defense is dangerous competition for the US. Maybe it means that some international tra

Yes, accessing more than half of the market in US and about 25% of the worldwide one is surprisingly something businesses want to do. Of course businesses do it because it's profitable. The point is that the market is ridiculously cont

These are all (both mine and yours) opinions, and we will need studies to see what's what. That said, my opinion is that not everything is a software development pipeline and needs to be efficient with short feedback loop. To me what y

I generally agree that it's better than nothing. That said, it's possible that sometimes these processes become bureaucratic shields for avoiding certain processes. For example, a broken RFC process might be a way not to actually

Reality forces people to do that. When 90% of people do whatever they use programs for via mobile, you (as in, a business who wants to succeed) are forced to make an android and an iOS app.

Working should be a free choice (we can discuss about how much freedom exists for many people), and should always be paid. There is nothing wrong if a prisoner chooses to enagage in (fairly paid) labor. But if they are not free to do so, th

They are not free to do that when there is a duopoly and in most countries the platforms don't even allow competitors for that market (especially true for Apple). Seriously, playing the "free market" card in the tech (especia

In my organization we have RFCs, PRDs, ADRs etc. and I would say that the process is fairly broken. That said, I think what you mention is an important but not the only failure mode of a proposals process. In some cases I have seen, people

I feel what you are proposing is the worst of both worlds. The company still needs to pay a full office (decreasing chances that money will be used for home office benefit or raises), people are still forced to live somewhat close to the of

How? Finding a Mac docking station that works with 2 monitors is already a lottery. 70% of people in my company, me included, ended up plugging the HDMI directly into the mac (and a DP into the docking station), while the same docking stati

No, I mean keybindings that are app specific and that are _not_ exposed in the keyboard configuration menu. Case in point, iterm2. Tons of useless keybindings that you have no easy way to see and disable. Let alone the fact that the app imm

I respect the personal opinion, but I personally find unbearable the number of times Apple devs demonstrate to think to know better how I should use my machines. Having sane defaults and customizing basic things (like not using a docking ba

I completely agree with you. The best answer I can give myself to your (perhaps rhetorical) question is twofold: - tech companies, for whatever reason, seem to need millions and millions of funding upfront to get started. Despite a tech com

This is not only a privacy concern (in fact, that might be a tiny part since the code might end up public anyway?). There is an element of disclosure of personal data, there are ownership issues in case that code was not - in fact - going t
