Is that an increase in sales, or just everything getting more expensive?

Running Xcode You can use it as a glorified internet terminal with some light office apps within 256GB. But it’s a pain in the ass to swap applications constantly, clear caches, delete large files and so on once you exceed those use cases.

XLR is balanced, meaning you can transport a voltage accurately over a longer distance. There is a mirror voltage on a second line that is mirrored and summed with the first again at the receiving end. All noise picked up underway will affe

It gets more obvious once you start researching stuff that is quite niche, like how to connect a forgotten old USB device to a modern computer and the only person posting about it was a Russian guy on an almost abandoned forum.

I speak Dutch to anyone that serves me in English. Which is pretty common at bars or shops in The Netherlands nowadays. At first I thought doing that was rude, but I'm actually doing people a favor to have the chance to learn Dutch. We

They still treat the g consistently the same in every word. It's silent-ish in all words, not some. The influence of English does exist in Western Dutch accents. Speaking like somebody that sounds like they're coming from Leiden o

Of course this is the risk, not the proof. High risk answers can be correct, low ones can still be partly hallucinated. And then there is the factor of shit-in-shit-out training data. I would like to have these metrics in my chats, together

But that's exactly what typed throws do? `static func validate(name: String) throws(ValidationError)` Would be handled as: ``` do { try UsernameValidator.validate(name: name) } catch { switch error { case .emptyName

I use them a lot, for example in situations where I want to test why my code failed at a pre-check, so I can Unit Test its behavior better. Imagine a function that early returns for a variety of different reasons, and you want to test them

25 years ago I uploaded zip files with my PHP update to overwrite my older site, and possibly I had to do a MySQL migration before I could go live again. And when I don't have to care about anybody else's professional standards, t

The nice thing about having AI generated code is that you get more time to focus on designing the system and it's edge cases. My code coverage (the significant metric, not the vain metric) and documentation coverage is really high beca

I cannot run or code to music. I might be playing music while doing so, but it's super distracting and it's basically just me working at 50% while enjoying myself. I worked with a bunch of guys that always always always had a web

Just got a few recommendations by my colleagues on LinkedIn that were clearly written by an LLM, the long emdash was even present. But then again, the message was tuned to specific things I did. Also they were from Eastern Europe, so I imag

They shot it down a while ago, but it was always something separated from the main LinkedIn population I think.

A reflection of the global tech pool minus China. I think they also might work LinkedIn a bit more on LinkedIn because they’re not spontaneously bumping into useful people for their careers in SF coffee shops.

Had tons of fun with https://roland50.studio/ the other day. And I have a lot of the actual devices, but still to just jam a bit without going through all of the set up now nice.

Apple would be in big trouble if their hardware mobile and desktop wasn't so much better, Windows wasn't a train wreck and Android was offering something more than a slightly less sucky version of Siri. In the mean while most of i

The flip flopping of the government is also a gigantic macroeconomic signal to not invest in the US as there is no long term prediction possible. CHIPS act goes away, something else comes, trade deals are made, then tariffs, then no tariffs

We have Cursor, it’s a step back from using Claude + MCP and it hallucinates a lot because of poor context management. But that’s not the real reason I’m using LLM’s less than before. * The codebase consists of many modules with their own r

Standard equipment in Argentina, not in Northern Europe or the US, where you would have to be in the opportunity to completely redo your bathroom to accommodate it. Otherwise you need to rearrange, or go for a Japanese toilet.

A bidet is standard equipment in Argentinian homes, even the poorest houses have it. Once you get used to it, it’s incomprehensible that in other countries people just wipe and…hope for the best. But often it’s hard to install one in bathro

Yeah nothing worse than entering a translated to English portal for Dutch tax purposes. Because those English words also ended up in Business Dutch but then got another meaning. Dutchlish, or at least the original term in parenthesis) is re

Doing the same. Though I wish there was some kind of optimization of text generated by an LLM for an LLM. Just mentioning it’s for an LLM instead of Juan consumption yields no observably different results.

If I could have a healthy and good looking physique by never going to the gym I would never go to the gym.
