Which is just laundered from real material that real humans put work in to create, only to be regurgitated by a krass homonculous of 1s and 0s for free without any mention of the real work that has been put into creating that information. I

Yeah no, I agree. Still though, I do think people being distracted while driving is a big problem.

Anecdotal evidence, but I’ve been driven into twice over the course of the last two weeks after driving every day for ten years and never having had a crash. Whether it’s touch screens mounted in the car or people being on their phone, some

Don’t forget the Tom7 video[1] where he made a „hard drive“ from disposable Covid test kits. [1] https://youtu.be/JcJSW7Rprio?t=1560

I mean that makes sense though, right? Since it’s only available on Chrome, it’s the only one doing all the computations (GPU or otherwise) that other browsers won’t do, since they just ignore the rule.

People hated it because Google for some reason decided to force it into YouTube by forcing you to link your YouTube account to your G+ account. Remember that stick figure tank guy that was plastered over every comment section? I believe tha

Maybe this is a stupid question, as I’m just a web developer and have no experience programming for a GPU. Doesn’t WebGPU solve this entire problem by having a single API that’s compatible with every GPU backend? I see that WebGPU is one of

Turns out „artificial general intelligence“ just means AI can sometimes be exactly as stupid as any other human to the point where it will delete a production DB like any other junior developer if you give it permissions it shouldn’t have.

While React and JSX/TSX might be somewhat of an abstraction on top of HTML and CSS, you absolutely still need intricate knowledge of HTML and CSS to build anything good with React. In the end what you get out of your React code after y

I agree with that it’s not a new concept by itself, but the way it’s being done is much more elegant in my opinion. I originally started as a web developer during the time where PHP+jQuery was the state of the art for interactive webpages,

That might be true, but it’s also the reason we don’t have a Zuckerberg or Musk taking charge of EU politics. There’s a balance to be struck here, and I prefer this over being a slave to American big tech.

Tell that to the developers that are 5 years, 1 million lines and 500 TODOs deep into their legacy React banking frontend. Adding stuff on top of your existing hacks is easy, taking unnecessary code away is hard. Especially if all your trai

I don’t know the exact wording, but from the GDPR and accessibility trainings I had to sit through at the enterprises I used to work at, I believe there is a certain size of company under which the regulations don’t apply. That was somewher

Yea, that’s pretty much what I meant as well. Knowing the project is backed by a significant amount of money makes it a lot easier to rationalize using the product within your stack for the reasons you mentioned. This is usually more sprea

As an indie hacker using better auth, I’m somewhat skeptical of there now being VC money in the mix (enshittifcation is a process that starts with VC money). But from my time working for enterprise, they often prefer OSS products that are

At our company we use better auth for every product that has any kind of user account logic. It’s great since it’s drop-in, the plugins give so much functionality that you’d have to roll on your own in so little time and the integrations wi

Sorry, I should have been more specific. In Europe (or Germany at least) it’s required by law that you provide an imprint with contact information for every site you host, as well as a privacy policy that includes contact information of you

I wouldn’t necessarily agree that WhatsApp‘s spam protection is that great. I’ve been invited to quite a lot of pyramid scheme/scam WhatsApp groups, however that’s mostly happened after having to expose my private cell number on the i

100% what you said. One thing I ran into as well was that horrid after effects -> Lottie workflow. Many layers and styles also just don’t work when you export them, so you have to explain to motion designers which features they’re allowe

I have a similar, though less horrible story. We recently launched an app where we wanted to have a Facebook sign-in button since our target audience would be people that use Facebook a lot. Being Gen Z and not having a Facebook account at

This is as good a time as any to throw in a shameless plug and say that my sister, Sarah Kolb actually voiced the German tutorial for Beatsaber [1]. If you need a voice actress for German and English content, she’s your gal! [2] [1] https:

Because switching to a competitors option is a much bigger task that just staying on whichever version you’re on currently, which you can’t do anymore since Adobe only offers subscriptions. Switching to a different creative software solut

Main difference between all of them is speed. There’s some differences in how npm, yarn, pnpm or bun handle workspaces and hoisting (and stuff like dependency overrides) but if one of them works for you, you rarely have to switch between th

If the JS is embedded within the HTML file it should’ve always worked, but when the HTML loads the JS file from somewhere else (that isn’t a relative path or a full URL that’s hosted somewhere else) it would usually fail, thus it wouldn’t w

Yes, it does a quite decent job in both high and low frequencies. The place I live in actually used to have a quite large construction area right next to it, so having something like this during the day was a godsend. You can still hear it

Sony Head- and earphones have in my experience been the best at both. The WH-1000XM series are the best noise cancelling headphones I’ve tried so far and the WF-1000XM series are the best earphones I’ve had. My personal favorite tip is the

For things like this (public facing static sites) I’ve often gone for a pretty naive approach using Redis (more lately KeyDB as a drop-in alternative) to cache any static pages that SSR would be handling otherwise for a minute or so. If I n
