Let me know when you find a way that makes sense. I’m a socialist, but I have a brain. Anything you can think of to make wealthy people cease to exist is easily bypassed, so the best way is to find ways to tax behaviour instead. The point o

The response from Ofcom doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. If you are to sell a toy in the UK you must be a British company. (and must pay VAT and comply with British safety standards). If a consumer buys from overseas and imports a product

Enormously popular doesn’t mean right. You should tax behaviours you want to disincentivise. Taxing smoking, cars and sugar are great (but not always popular) ideas. Taxing second homes, property ownership for companies, foreign owned pro

Oh thanks! I looked but I missed that. So, I need to be super rich? Thats sad.

Whoa. How does this work? One of the major issues we had at my previous company weaning people off of powerpoint (to google docs) was brand fonts. Ours, of course. A lot of what is considered brand identity in presentations comes from fonts

Without reading anything further into it “data over radio” describes bluetooth, and wifi, and 2.4GHz proprietary protocols and… basically everything. You could still be talking about bluetooth and it would still be “data over radio” technic

Nothing exists in total isolation, you have to draw lines anyway.

"Than average". There's lies, damned lies, and then: there's statistics. You have to counter the growth in jobs based on how many new people there are to take them, the location in which they are, and somewhat weirdly ot

I'll bite: If for any reason, probably because it's neither technically interesting nor entrepreneurial in nature. US Politics seems to get more of a pass, probably due to Silicon Valley being there (and nearly all the major tech

I feel like a salesman now, but yeah you can... they come with a straight through USB-C:USB-C cable (though it's super thick and seems rated to carry 60w and USB2.0 speeds according to my Treedix.. weird choice) and a USB-C to 3.5MM ja

Yeah, but isn't that a deliberate tuning thing? Much further away from Apples marketing as "best airpods yet" for an all-rounder product.

The Max 2 finally arrived and I felt nothing. That surprised me... I buy every in-ear AirPods Pro without much deliberation, even the Pro 3 which measurably regressed on sound. The heart rate sensor and ANC bump were enough. I say that to c

I get a lot of personal enjoyment from seeing things spring to life from Claude Code. I'm an AI-Skeptic through and through, it's clear the hype doesn't match reality, though I have had some fun with it for sure, I might even

No, I live in Sweden where coalition governments are pretty common and people tend to vote for the party they agree with. Same is true in the EU elections, since their system is more democratic than the UK one. I’m intimately familiar with

This defeatist attitude causes the situation we’re in. Voting against someone rather than for someone is a sure-fire way to get some of the worst politicians in power as possible, they only need to be marginally less bad than the other

I would concede a valid point you made: > I've used them to successfully debug small issues occurring in my codebase. Great! The pattern recognition machine successfully identified pattern. But, how do you know that it won't fl

If you seek to audit code through the use of LLMs then you have inherently misunderstood the capabilities of the technology and will be left disappointed.

fuck man, I'm either seriously stupid or y'all are taking crazy pills. LLMs are auto-complete on steroids; I've lived through enough iterations of Markov Chains giving semi-sensible output (that we give meaning to) and neural

Regarding point 1 specifically, there were so many people seriously miffed at the “man after midnight ”[0] time-based easter egg that I would be careful with that reasoning. Open source doesn’t always mean reproducible. People don’t enjoy

AMPs: am I a joke to you? RAM prices are such an infinitesimally small component cost of digital audio equipment that I can’t take you seriously here.

sadly, a nice idea that is painfully naive with how computers are used in reality. One need only remember how easy it was to take over IRC channels with a few hundred bots to see the endgame of this rationale… it cannot be patched out, it’s

This is like saying “Candles are superior to lightbulbs because they burn out quicker and thats an advantage in some situations”. I’m not sure how, its an aesthetic choice but an inferior technology by every metric that counts. Candles st

The point of a system like this is specifically that it’s accessible and not air gapped. Being able to validate that a citizen is a citizen and their ID is valid inherently requires the system be accessible

I think its rather apt. I welcome the de-1984-ification of governmental functions. Its clear that Trump wants to be at war, with their interventions, so, why not?

infests is a nice freudian slip. When millions of dollars support a feature, that feature beats others- even technically superior ones, on the basis of support and polish. We’re all playing to the tune of what Google wants because Google ha

AOSP is just a totally different destination, it's not a faster route to the same one. Sailfish is spiritually MeeGo: actual Linux on the phone, not a custom skin on Google's foundations. Obviously it's faster to build a kit-

Just here to reinforce your point. The last leap-second I encountered (also the 2014 one) crashed my MySQL databases. you wouldn't assume that it depends on time like that, because honestly why would it? "surely it's fine, NT
