Ohh, this looks nice. I've been wondering for a while why nobody had yet come up with a non-insane alternative to nss (whatever systemd cooked up need not apply), since the fundamental problem is fairly easy, if you're not in the

It is so easy indeed that Samsung has been making such phones for over a decade. If people started putting their money where their mouth is, maybe they'd even sell.

A variety of manufacturers has them, CAT e.g., but even Samsung has been having a line of them for over a decade. Manufacturers also keep making phones with headphone jacks, sd slots, swappable batteries, and all the other features that peo

Children need to develop the soft skills necessary to deal with the fact that crab bucket mentality is very real and can very easily ruin their lives if they can't figure out how to deal with it. Reducing "development" to &qu

Hopefully, much less, or Vercel is indeed bleeding money and not long for this world.

That was in 2015 , and it barely impacted anything I touched. So, granted, technically not quite 10+ years, but you get worse churn in JS frameworks over an 8 months period. (Unless it's jquery.)

PHP devs meanwhile: You guys churn? For better or worse, you can take 10+ years old PHP code and it'll mostly just work.

They'll start noticing once the enshittification begins and expensive but hard to KPI-ify things like QC and documentation quality get optimized away.

I just run django on nginx-passenger in debug mode, but I don't vomit dozens of megabytes of Javascript into the output so I still hit sub-second render targets. I think there's maybe two dozen lines of JS for some interactive cal

It's a fan website for an obscure mobile game (that I don't really want to associate with my professional profiles, it is really just a hobby); the database sees a bunch of write transactions per week, whenever an editor writes ne

I have a website that's visited by a couple thousand people a day, but since it's not a bloated mess that writes to the DB for every page hit, it's still faster than any competition site in that particular niche, and those de

I really wonder what kind of business model you need to able to afford Twitter's API pricing. It seems so outlandishly ridiculous that it kills any use case I can come up with.

Equalling "tangible contributions" to "git commits" is insanely reductionist. It works maybe if everything your org does - tickets, documentation, manuals, analyses, meeting transcripts, research notes, everything - li

LLM generates stories aren't copyrightable either, and I doubt ad-financed clickbait farms would care about suing each other anyway, this is just SEO and audience manipulation.

40% margin on parts that cost tens of dollars isn't going to have a huge impact on the sticker price of devices costing hundreds to thousands.

It's a very common psychological trap to fall into, so all recipe sites have turned into "fake touching personal story" content mills over the past decade or so, yes.

You're wrong about why the US Navy is doing that. They don't care about how those missiles were manufactured, they want to figure out what their performance is – what's their real fuel capacity, their real fuel efficiency,

DBus is just as bad (its serialization scheme is bespoke and bloated), and people insist on putting its insanely inefficient overhead into everything so they can claim they "isolated" apps (as long as you ignore the gaping holes t

No. That's the whole point of SpaceX's development model, testing done right is absurdly cheap.

I'm just getting really irritated by the amount of concern trolling surrounding SpaceX. Everything they do "must" have a gotcha, because clearly they cannot be as far ahead of the competition as they daily prove to be.

EU cannibalized its one (1) existing production line for making spacecraft (used to be busy making ATVs for ISS resupply) for Orion's service module production. They're not interested at all in increasing their own capabilities, t

"Currently" is doing a lot of work in those statements. (Unlike Boeing quality control, apparently.)

The door design isn't final yet, there's no point in whining about it. They need tankers and landers for NASA contracts short term (neither of which require payload deployment), anything else is a nice to have that can be tinkered

There isn't much to be gained from mangled, corroded remains of what used to be ITAR hardware at some point, so nobody really tried it before. All the Apollo engines e.g. are still where they were dropped (unless recovered by the US),

FH had the problem that it had a comparatively small fairing compared with an upper stage that's "only" okay-ish for deep space insertions, so you can neither put really huge LEO payloads on it, nor can you give a deep space

With all the plugins, IrfanView is also >30 MiB. But to its credit, those plugins cover a looot of format.

Its business model has always been the latter, they're just no longer bothering with the pretense of opt-in.
