Well, I actually use Unpoly, and I can assure you that LLMs don't get it, no matter how many pointers to the (excellent!) docs one includes. Like, even just now, Claude Code with Opus 4-dot-latest, is absolutely convinced you n

Well, Valve got seriously concerned about the Windows Store, like, a decade ago, since that could have reduced the stranglehold of Steam on the gaming marketplace. Turns out that the usual Microsoft incompetence-and-ADHD have kind-of el

LLMs know nothing about Unpoly, and quite a bit about htmx. This requires you to actually learn Unpoly, because, well, even pointing your LLM-of-choice at the Unpoly docs (which are quite okay!) makes it regress-to-the-ugly-Javascript-wor

I never claimed a broad perspective. But I've yet to see a "post-pandemic hiring boom" anywhere in junior-level-IT jobs in the EU, and a quick trip to Google with those exact words turned up nothing either. So, please elabora

"This article was amended on 26 June 2025 to clarify that the link between AI and the decline in graduate jobs is something suggested by analysts, rather than documented by statistics" Plus, that decline seems specious anyway (as

Again, in my experience, that simply never happened, at least not with regard to junior positions. During COVID we were struggling to retain good developers that just couldn't deal with the full-remote situation[1], and afterwards, the

Offshoring has the exact same benefits/problems that AI has (i.e: it's cheap, yet you have to specify everything in excruciating detail) and has not been a significant factor in junior hiring, like, ever, in my experience.

The 'recent graduates' quoted in this article all seem to be from (for lack of a better description) 'developing countries' hoping to get a (again, generalizing) 'high-paying FAANG job'. My initial reaction wou

No, it's now entirely accurate. Nothing in the GDPR requires 'cookie banners', and your Wikipedia link doesn't 'dispell' that 'misconception', but nice try...

Yes, indeed, thank you! Fixed now, but, well... abbreviation fatigue takes its toll...

You're... pretty much conceding my point, while appearing to disagree? But, yeah, I'll ask ChatGPT how to be less obtuse next time...

Well, if Apple were really clever, they'd have introduced an 'EU DMA CAPTCHA' by now, requiring anyone EU-adjacent-resident to mark all the evil EU bureaucrats in a picture of room before allowing them to resume their dooms

All the more reason to ditch Firefox for the only viable alternative, Chrome, which famously has a much more restrained approach to AI. Sigh... (And yeah, I know, Degoogled Chromium, *Fox, curl... But viable is not only doing heavy, but

Reasonable! Anyone who cares about AD security has been AES-only for at least a year now, and most likely much longer, and it's not like these mitigations are especially hard, unless you're still running some seriously obsolet

Yeah, lovely... But can we please stop retconning obsolete technology into something to strive for? The Epson, Tandy, Psion and Nokia almost-like-a-laptop systems of the time were pretty neat, but not magic. Really: you could lock me into a

Yeah, I get accused of being an LLM all the time as well, best to ignore that kind of slop... (which, ironically, goes both ways!)

No worries -- not publishing at all is worse than publishing disliked content (well, to a certain extent), so keep reading that feedback, but don't be too discouraged by it!

I think this article goes a bit overboard with the negative language ('lies', 'fools'), especially since (auto)VACUUM and indexes really don’t have that much to do with each other: the former is indeed critical on Postgr

I'm not exactly sure what's going on with this article and whether it's just the language barrier or something else, but... it doesn't make an awful lot of sense? 'Tricks' like 'not including too many co

The domain 'codebuy.org' seems hosted on Route53, which doesn't return any A, AAAA or CNAME records for it as of 19:51:00 UTC, making that source code link a bit hard to follow...

Ah, yes, exactly the pointless diversion I needed for my lunch break. For science: generating a C# switch statement for similar purposes took 7 minutes on similar-ish hardware, but the resulting 99.2GB file could not be opened or compiled (

Well, possibly unrelated to all of this, but in my experience, multilingual spell-checking has gotten noticeably worse on both iOS and Windows, to the point where I had to disable auto-correct wherever that's possible (and that's,

Mostly Verisign, which required faxing forms and eye-watering amounts of money. Then Thawte, which brought down prices to a more manageable US$500 per host or so. Which might seem excessive, but was really peanuts compared to the price of t

My immediate personal use case would be C# on a self-hosted Gitea instance. Realistically, anything paid would need to be fully self-hostable, though. There's a bunch of Java codebases that I work on that would benefit from something

by ZeroConcerns 10mo ago
So, this is only for codebases hosted on Github, right? Any plans for folks not in that ecosystem? And which languages do you support? The examples show Go, (Type|Java)Script, Python, Rust and Zig, which is rather diverse, but lacks some ty

Although that certainly would have been possible, I've not yet blocked the Gemini AI summaries from the Google search result pages, just because they're so entertaining , in a "sure, bot, you got that entirely wrong"
