Since the Snowden leaks in 2013, it just doesn't make sense that *any* foreign customers would put US technology inside their firewall. But they do. It shocks me even more that any Western customer would do the same with network-connec

Lots of old machinery from the era (Mills, Lathes, and such) also carried these colors. Truly beautiful.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or just living in a place where the power is so bad, it causes premature failures. The claimed extra longevity of LED bulbs has not materialized for me. They seem to fail at roughly the same frequ

That is a great example of when the original quote works as intended. I'm reacting to experiences where the software that emerges from a relatively large team effort can't really be made meaningfully faster because there are milli

Same experience here and even more powerfully illustrated in firmware development.

I kind of love this. Thanks for the correction!

I don't believe there is any tension at all between fast and simple software. We can and should have both. This is a fraud, made up by midwits to justify their leaning towers of abstraction.

Exactly! I wish Knuth would come out and publicly chastise the many decades of abuse this quote has enabled.

There are very few phrases in all of history that have done more damage to the project of software development than: "Premature optimization is the root of all evil." First, let's not besmirch the good name of Tony Hoare. The

Not the OP, but I suspect it means focus on what questions are being asked first, and even then, look for opportunities to simplify wherever you find them. So many of us spend so much time getting enamoured with technical solutions to probl

Stupid take. The issue is obviously not with adults needing to click a drop-down. Some of the main issues with this legislation are: 1) Makes it much easier for predators of all kinds to identify and target children on their computers 2) Im

Obviously not a serious proposal, but I do like the alt mentioned below: Update the terms to indicate that you can do what you want, but this OS is probably not compliant with states run by evil dipshits.

Every single Linux kernel currently operating within the borders of any of these states should turn itself off and refuse to boot until an update is installed after these bills are rolled back. We should also update all FOSS license terms t

Might also be due in part to the latest iOS and iPhone 17 Pros being some of the shittiest, laggiest, lowest quality smart phones ever made.

Agreed. A good business will take both short and long term profit into consideration when making a decision. They will strive to maximize profit (within reason) in whatever they do. I don’t presume to know anything about the fashion industr

Right, but these are unlawful activities and I haven’t seen any claims that these companies are engaging in unlawful behavior. Instead, the legislators are making currently lawful behavior unlawful. That’s what I find upsetting.

Indeed. The government represents a legal framework for us all to operate in together. Sure. If I pay for something to be made, that something belongs to me. It becomes private property and (at least in the US) I'm free to destroy a th

The comedic irony of your personal attack and smug dismissal isn't lost on me. Let's try to stay focused on the subject matter and leave personal jabs aside.

I don't doubt that some luxury organizations destroy unsold inventory rather than allow it to diminish the status of their brand. My claim is that if they could have sold that inventory at a profit, they would have. It's theirs to

It’s shocking to see this legislated. As if companies are just out here wantonly destroying otherwise valuable goods that could have been easily sold at a profit instead. I guarantee this problem is far more complex and troublesome than the

I was looking for a dead simple migration tool some years ago and didn’t want a random runtime (and version) dependency to maintain my database. Found shmig and it’s been really fantastic. https://github.com/mbucc/shmig

Having a background in fine art (and also knew Aral many years ago!), this prose resonates heavily with me. Most of the OP article also resonated with me as I bounce back and forth between learning (consuming, thinking, pulling, integrating

If you think it's bad now, the early days of the web were absolutely filled with scumbag grifters who made small fortunes hiring contractors and then refusing to pay. Many of them disappeared in the y2k dot com bust, but then seem to h

It’s incredibly sad to watch Google abandon the values that inspired so much trust and belief that there is a better way to build a company. Long time Pixel user here who has always believed the story that Apple has the closed, but refined,

It is true that this app is more hostile than asking someone to keep it down, but people should beware of either approach, as it's not unusual for the same assholes who are comfortable blasting their audio in public spaces to also be c

I'm incredibly impatient with my tools and I've been running omz for many years. I spend my days in tmux/vim and generally run 6-12 shells at a time. Some quick troubleshooting many years ago narrowed the vast majority of the

The icons are another symptom. A brand new Apple iPhone 17 Pro. Constantly lagging and locking up in preparation for another transparent animation that absolutely no one asked for. Feeling like Apple just mugged me and stole $1,000.
