Next Costco is approximately 7.000km away and would require some serious swimming skills.

I get that they make it hard to find, so we also buy different stuff. But if I can't find what I'm looking for too often, I won't come back anymore. Sometimes I really want/need something, and I have all the stores close

Supermarkets are maybe a bit different, they are hard to avoid. But I dislike malls so much, that I only get new clothes for example once it's really necessary. If it was more pleasant to shop there, I would probably buy more stuff. I

I really hate shops, malls and supermarkets. I'm not easily overwhelmed and can handle being there fine. But it's just horrible there. Way too loud, bright and often too warm. Completely full of chaos and way too many useless prod

I probably didn’t read it. But I also had to read it twice to understand what it meant. I’m still not sure if this is the mentioned issue or a different one.

Keycloak is awesome, but whenever I used it the documentation gave me too little guidance. On how to use it in the right way, without having to customize it too much.

Is it about the license? I see less and less new projects using GPL, and a lot of MIT(ish) licenses. Most complex open source projects like Linux for example have a lot of contributions by corporations. The GPL kind of forces them to partic

Impressive, but on iOS 27 even one of the examples don't work. Seems like it has an issue with spaces. https://imgur.com/a/tZGqtjR

The message is written to the outbox table in the same transaction as the database changes. Only if the transaction completes, the message is actually created, and other tables are updated. In a second step the message is taken from the out

With an inbox/outbox pattern it's possible. The incoming message might be processed more than once, and an outgoing message might be sent more than once. That's the limitation, and the system needs to be able to handle it. If

I don't drive the best car available on the market. I don't own the fastest and best PC/Laptop/Smartphones available. I don't live in the best house in my city. I made reasonable choices that balance my needs and my

I had that idea too. Maybe that's the future of OSS development.

Because that's the only meaningful interpretation of your suggestion. Big corp accounts are pre-vouched. And it will be mostly their responsibility to vouch for other accounts.

I never ran into that. I always ask the recruiters to include my GitHub account in the summaries they submit to the technical teams reviewing applications. But they never do.

I see one big difference: with email it was always about sender reputation based on email servers (IPs), maybe about domains. But never about individual users. It's the organizations running the email server, who make sure users behave

Duplication is often less harmful than abstraction. Duplications can often be cleaned up over time, bad abstractions can quickly become a bottleneck, that severely slow down everyone working on the project.

by andix 4mo ago
I always try to design in a way, that using abstractions/shared logic is optional. I've worked in too many projects, where every new feature needs to be built on top of existing abstractions, that often lead to severe restrictions

I guess you can test that on hypotheticals. Ask about things after the knowledge cut off that never happened. Or ask things that are genuinely unsolvable.

Tauri sucks on macOS and especially Linux, because the native browsers are a huge issue. Tauri/Windows uses a recent Chromium engine, which is fine.

I guess it's not just models and textures. Those should be the easiest to dial down, even optionally with a "low" setting. Maybe making high-res assets an optional download, to reduce game size (ssds are also getting expensiv

If that happens, we will see it in triple-A games first. If some new titles have significant lower hardware specs than expected. If buyers can't afford the hardware anymore, the studios need to adjust. It's definitively possible t

Stuff like that happens in every oligarchy. Either get used to more and more stuff like that, or regulate the sh* out of it. Without stopping stuff like that early on, the concentration of wealth and power only increases.

Most consumers don't care, as long as the quality is good. For a long time both audio quality and language skills of those outsourced call centers were really poor.

Sonnet is extremely overpriced. It's a good model, but not worth the money Anthropic charges for it.

Because I've seen too many people spending a lot of money on expensive hardware, without really using it in the end: Most of those models are also available via Openrouter and many other platforms. Dirt cheap, and much faster than on c

Becoming homeless is probably not the right approach to think about that. Most people will somehow be able to continue a regular life. They move to smaller houses or multiple families share a house. => landlords and real estate companies
