I don't understand why they don't make certain studies cheaper or free for students that qualify, or even give scholarships. It's very important to nudge more students towards politically or economically vital studies.

I noticed that Claude completely changes its character when it starts using MCP. Can’t have a conversation, instructions in my memory are ignored including code styles. And it just doesn’t know how to stop. When I tell it to run tests, it w

I remember paying 25 euro to ship a bottle of wine to somebody in Belgium while living 30 minutes away from the border (just for weight and destination, wine itself had no extra taxes). And then stuff from China appears at my doorstep almos

Why would they skimp on such an important item? The enclosure itself looks quite expensive. Most terminal keyboards were pretty OK from what I've seen.

That keyboard doesn't look like fun to type on. The one on the VIC-20 and C-64 were pretty okay!

It's true, hallucinations in LLM's can be so consistent that I warn the LLM up front about stuff like "do not use NSCacheDefault, it does not exist, and there is no default value" and then keeping my fingers crossed it d

I’ve been running Windows 2000 Pro as my main machine from I think the second beta until it was completely dropped from support. It ran all of my games, stable as hell, quite light with none of the bullshit added later, none of the graphica

I've quit working on .net solutions a few years ago, but I've built a feature in F# about 7 year ago. While the language was wonderful, the IDE support was very minimal. Documentation and examples were really hard to find. So I do

Yeah loved the language and the IDE, but only boring Enterprise stuff built with it. Also C# got so complex, since it had to absorb every idea from F# rather than making F# a viable programming language on itself and improving interop... At

God yes. I’ve spent 8 years working remote before the pandemic hit. Only after that I started coming into offices again because my local freelance customers demanded it. Spent most days looking at a bunch of nerds with headphones, being ign

It has that calming quality, and I would hear it frequently as I would still shut down my computer after every session.

If Google would have been broken up because of anti-trust regulations all of the individual parts would be hyper-focused. And wouldn't shutter from one day to another.

They will take a very long year to finish it, with very long hours. These are not your kind of years, procrastinating underperforming you cannot judge.

I was commenting about the general quality of the platform was already in decline. And the fact she didn’t seem to do anything with ulterior motive. Two separate things.

I don't think Twitter was great before Elon either, but it's definitely worse than before. But I also don't see how Susan Wojcicki was abusing it's leverage like Musk does. But the US simply stopped fighting against tech

The great thing about old cars is that you can fix them up pretty much yourself, while a modern car has all kinds of software driven behaviour that is really hard to touch as a non-professional mechanic. A Commodore 64 or PDP-11 is the equi

The Netherlands had that system as well. But entering the number first is faster: the number needs to be exact, but the street can be autocompleted easily.

Yep, I was at the registration screen multiple times and always left confused. I’m a user now, but it’s quite dead for me while I got featured in a few starter packs a while ago on Bluesky.

It seems there's a strong nostalgia for systems around the time the internet was still nascent, like the Slack client for Windows 95. I'm still baffled we could run ICQ on 16MB of RAM (maybe I had 64MB later on?) while multi-taski
