Not related to your main point, but I am happy to see we are in somewhat of a resurgence of innovation in keyboards. There are some innovative new designs, entirely novel approaches to key inputs, and personalisation and craftsmanship has n

Nothing too innovative, I've made some chained, LAN connected lighting for around the house. Some button boxes for sim racing. I built a small CNC machine and a 3D printer, which have let me build various things for the car and the bik

Which is why open source AI will be so important to support. It's not this individuals fault, it's the pretty obvious outcome of monetising this absolutely enormous venture capital spend. Advertising infects every possible medium

It depends on your medium, many platforms require a lot of throughput in order to rank highly in their algorithms and reach people. If your business requires volume not high value customers then you need to play the volume game. But if you

Same, I get next to no value from the personal website these days. Certainly not worth being exposed to the harsh realities of the web in 2025. A sad state of affairs, but it was predicted decades ago that commercial interests would turn th

I have noticed it with a lot of Indian people I know, an aptitude for language. My understanding is that many learn Hindi, their home tongue, and english at school. Of course I only have exposure to my indian friends who moved to Australia

Laravel for PHP has a similar scope, community and exposure I would say. Having mostly done agency work my whole life I have seen a lot of frameworks, in a lot of languages. Rails and Laravel are the standouts for just QoL experience, and G

The pathology for broken collar bones was changing right as I took up mountain biking, and subsequently shattered my collarbone. It was hotly debated at the hospital, if my specific case should be operated on or not. Each time I had a check

There are not many languages that for example abstract higher than C# and compile down to it. And whilst we are building abstractions in C# (etc) those are one step up (height), and then there are many of those frameworks, thus many steps s

For the japanese in your tagline on socials, you might be meaning ウィビ (wibi/wibby) if you were trying to write your name. I might be wrong!

You cannot see any way in which we run out of possible abstraction layers? I think in the past we have assumed that was natural language, but I think natural language is a pretty poor programming language. What people actually want when the

I have driven nothing but pre-2008 Nissans for about 20 years. Not a single major failure across 6 vehicles, except one Nissan Silvia (1992) that I used to race. Not really it's fault, I blew the motor pushing it hard for 3 years. I al

In fairness, the goalposts for frontend dev shifted significantly in the past 10 years. But also, no one thinks Full-stack developers are experts at everything. We are well aware they are the jack-of-all-trades developer archetype, that&#x2

I think I am wrong about this. I am seeing mixed opinions about how much and what kind of crime "The Com" covers, I'm probably too out of the loop to comment further to be honest.

by ehnto 2y ago
I suspect it's because it's a label put onto the workhorse of modern crime syndicates, not a vanity title like a gangs have. It's a web of disparate barely connected mercenary dots, so I imagine most people in "The Com&q

There is some progress in open source implementations. Anki originally used a SuperMemo-2 implementation, it now uses the improved FSRS algorithm. There is also an incremental reading addon. It's a fairly opinionated space, which is su

I straddle the fence here, I think we jump down people's throats a bit too quickly when it comes to putting names on their new library. But I do also wish we'd stop reinventing things and patting ourselves on the back in other cas

It would be nice if we could trust corporations to stay some kind of course and have our best interests at heart, but they don't, and at some point it starts being our own fault if we keep enduring it. It then follows though that once

There is heaps you can do, but admittedly not all of it will you want to, and not all of the results will be equivalent. For one though, you can support open source software, especially linux OS's. Similarly, ditch the Bambu. There are

It's the backwards reasoning that really frustrates me when using LLMs. You ask a question, it says sure do these things, they don't work out and you ask the LLM why not, and it replies yes that thing I told you to do wouldn'

It wasn't until 2044 that the Black Wall was implemented to separate the rogue AIs from the corporate nets. As is often postulated though, how would a network of rogue AIs power themselves? LLMs being quite energy intensive, it's

Wouldn't it be quite an extreme bend once the screen is stowed and the laptop is closed? 180degrees at like a 1-2mm radius curve I would expect. That could actually roll up given a 1-2mm centre to roll onto.
