What was the classic joke on this one? "What happens if we train these people and they leave?" "What happens if you don't and they stay"

They've been helping Ukraine defend itself. Every Russian (and Ukrainian) death in this "special military operation" is on Putin.

I'm simply using rngit work documents for this. In planning sessions (or sometimes by hand) I produce working a work document. Then for implementation, I tell Pi to read the appropriate work document. Pi can also post updates as we go

That's basically Samsung DeX, or the other Android desktop systems that started appearing recently.

> Sadly, in CA, charging at home (minimum $0.26/kWh) isn't that much cheaper. Just get some solar panels. We live on a sailboat and charge the electric outboard of our dinghy (kind of our "car", this is what we use to

Fair point, but "making billionaires multi-billionaires" didn't have quite the same ring to it :-D (I'm the author of that blog post)

I'm nowadays hosting my projects on rngit (git over Reticulum). But also pushing a mirror to GitHub via a cronjob to increase visibility. https://reticulum.network/manual/git.html I don't think moving to anot

My favorite so far was a motorboat named "Maday". Imagine hailing them on VHF...

In Europe flying is subsidised and ridiculously cheap. That would need to end. Further than removing subsidies, if flight cost would include its negative externalities, few would fly.

Yes, on a boat you have to wash the panels periodically to get rid of salt and bird poop. The latter can be a surprisingly big problem. Southeast of Galapagos we had a booby sit on our spreader for a day, and it managed to cover our two 100

Git over Reticulum is another option. You get git, issue tracking (work documents), release management https://reticulum.network/manual/git.html

http://bergie.iki.fi is my personal site. Has been updated quite sporadically, but has a post history stretching back to late 90s. https://lille-oe.de updates whenever we go sailing.

That's the way. Get on a train, sleep, wake up in a new city. Last time I did interrail (some 15 years ago), you could sometimes pay a bit of extra to get a spot in a sleeping car.

You still need a build tool, and that tool is likely broken if you need to return to the project in a year or two. TypeScript benefits can be had without a build step by leveraging JsDoc.

Starlink has worked great for us so far from Europe to Polynesia. Prices keep going up, so would be nice if the service had actual competition. The backups are sadly becoming trickier, as fewer and fewer carry SSB radios or operate shore st

Back when I was working at a website builder, we used IPFS for distributing content between our serving clusters. If also made the sites available on IPFS, but that was a secondary concern.

I resisted WhatsApp until we started cruising with our sailboat. So many processes require WhatsApp. In many places you can't do customs and immigration without it. Well, maybe not 100% true. There might still be the remnant of an old

It has sort of killed books . I'm hesitant to buy anything published after 2022 if I don't know the author. So much slop out there...

I will be trying git over Reticulum for my next project. Fully peer-to-peer including issue tracking and releases. Reticulum itself already moved over, maintaining GitHub just as a mirror http://reticulum.network/manual&#x2F

I think the reasonable way to look at LLMs is similar to how you'd work with junior developers. They can churn out code, but do need constant guidance. Of course, (some of the) real juniors will eventually become seniors. It remains to

The traditional longer-range P2P is HF radio and maybe Winlink email on that. APRS over HF is also possible, and Reticulum would be too if hams were allowed to use encryption. On the passage from Panama to Polynesia we had daily HF radio co
