There’s a good argument for America having been able to do all it did despite being a democracy without a strong central government, not because of it. Look around the world and see how many countries managed to achieve similar success usin

I found the article is no more than ranting about something that they are just projecting. The browser may not be for everyone, but I think there’s a lot of value to an AI tool that helps you find what you’re looking for without shoving as

ChatGPT provides a new Apps SDK that makes things easier. The MCP server does need a proper Authorization Server to do OAuth, including DCR and OIDC metadata support, but those are the best way to do what they are trying to do. Anything els

As an outsider, are you suggesting OP can make more sales on Android because that’s more hacker friendly? Or what exactly? From what I hear no one makes any money on apps outside the Apple ecosystem and big game platforms.

You can ask ai to be succinct and it will be. If you need to you can give examples of how it should respond. It works amazingly well.

I have a smarthome setup I built myself using Lua and a Raspberry Pi. Anything it can do locally can be securely exposed on the internet via a service like netbird , which I use for free and is literally a command to get running, or tail-sc

You’re wrong man. These things you mentioned happen rarely, it’s not what you do day to day. If you don’t do some high value coding you have no clue how to steer a tech company at a technical level.

So many things wrong with this sort of “CTO must not do what they enjoy but what is the list of responsibilities “ robotic thinking. So you think coding is not high leverage on a tech company. Do you even remember why your company exists an

So in your view c-level are all sociopaths? Let me guess you are not c-level. Or maybe you are but you’re the exception to the rule.

Wouldn’t this problem be related to the problem of finding whether two shapes collide in 3d space? That would probably be one of the most studied problems in geometry as simulations and games must compute that as fast as possible for many s

It did exist but got removed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletio... Quite an omission to not even check for that and it make me think that was done intentionally.

In 1000 years Sweden went from a Viking culture to an egalitarian, tolerant, multicultural society. Just imagine how much change you can have in the next 1000 years. 50 years ago you guys had basically an apartheid and women’s place was the

You can get to 70k USD in India?? That’s approaching European salaries for a Senior Dev. Lots of Indians seem to come to Europe for far lower salaries.

The EU has been like this for a long time. If it was going to become unaffordable to sustain it that would have happened years ago. Of course in the longer term anything could happen but I find it hard to believe it would happen because of
