What an odd take. It is often titled "software craftsmanship". Is the craftsman not allowed to practice? Not everything needs an immediate real-world application. Not everything needs to be enterprise-grade, bulletproof, web-scale

Yes and? That's money that is already allocated. It cannot be spent on something else.

> You can import whatever you want. Quite the opposite, in fact. When customs finds that any rule, like the CE declaration on electric devices, is broken, they can and will seize such goods. You could of course attempt to circumvent or m

YAML isn't the problem. It's that every single action is basically curl-to-sudo-bash. Even disregarding the security implications, the ergonomics are truly horrendous. They were with Azure DevOps and they certainly are with GitHub

What do you mean, in 5 years? It's not like everyone just bought a new computer. My gut says it's exactly the other way around: most computers are old. They may fail as soon as today. All computers in my household are 8+ years old

IC = Individual Contributor EM = Engineering Manager The idea being that you no longer contribute yourself, you manage agents doing that.

Is this a design detail that has changed over time? I have a MacBook Pro Late 2013 and the top edges on the body are not sharp at all. They are already rounded down, with maybe 0.5 mm radius. It's very subtle. I find that the edges are

No, WinGet does not generally protect against this. While PRs to update package versions are verified in some way before going live, the necessary throughput can only be achieved with shallow checks. A determined actor could easily get a ma

Dunno what they’re trying to build, but I encourage everyone to try what they already have built. It helps me work on multiple changesets in parallel. This often just happens, for example you work on something and discover a bug in somethin

The accounting could be asynchronous, so you could overshoot your budget by a few requests before you're blocked.

No. There is a disconnect between domain insiders and those that are not. This is not specific to any one domain. It's also not about age. Some insiders know about this disconnect and fewer still can bridge it easily. Those that cannot

People aren't anti-AI because of model performance. They're anti-AI because LLMs are being shoved into absolutely everything . So yes, this is also about Copilot, but not in the way you think it is.

by fuzzy2 7mo ago
Maybe, but LLMs solve but one issue (maybe two). Take me, for example. I am highly proficient regarding software development in most aspects. Except for that tiny problem: I wouldn't even know what to build. And at least for me, LLMs c

Well, yes, DuckDuckGo is not Google. You have to accept that. Not just surface-level, but for real . What made this easy for me is that Google is also no longer Google. Ever since it started basically ignoring my actual search query, I sto

It's not just local apps that are potential consumers of this information. Websites would also be interested. The "why" is also clear: deflecting/shifting responsibility.

Yeah, same. I use an extended keyboard layout on my PC. I'm so used to it I have to actively decide against using proper quotes and dashes and whatnot. I don't bother on mobile, though. Every time someone states they stop reading

Highly unlikely they did. Just because it’s in the privacy notice doesn’t mean they actually gather or store this information. And indeed, fingerprints are only accessible using privileged access. Not even you, the passport holder, has acce

by fuzzy2 8mo ago
They probably did not. Privacy notices are usually written by non-technical people. They include a lot more than what is actually stored. I’d also be very surprised if they actually interacted with the digital passport (NFC) as part of the

That would be illegal. I doubt Shopify are to blame here, it's more likely one of the gazillion plugins that every shop uses was the vector. Either way, it's highly likely the shop owner is the data controller, from a legal perspe

They won't do anything. Had this exact scenario with two Shopify-based sites where my address somehow ended up with the second shop. Reported it, shop 1 investigated themselves and found themselves to be innocent, case closed.

You can have that, and in an even better way: Simply disable the blight that is Windows 11 context menus and go back to real context menus. I’m not even joking, they are basically superior in every way. They open faster, they have only on

It’s not. And it gets worse. A WinGet package can suddenly be introduced for software you have already installed and then the next "update all" will install whatever. Could be something completely different! WinGet is not only unr

Neither WinGet nor Homebrew packages/formulae provide authenticity checks. They have integrity checks for file transfer. That’s it. Where did the file come from when it was entered into the respective repository? No statement. Whether

The UAC dialog for unsigned software has an orange or yellow accent. You could be talking about the SmartScreen dialog. There's yet another dialog for executable files downloaded from the internet, which I think has a red shield for un

The official Swiss Topo app has this AR feature built-in, by the way. Or at least on iOS. Pretty magical when it works, like most (real) AR applications. (It does lose alignment from time to time.)

Inferred types are really great, but I feel they do not scale. Inside a method/function? Generally fine, but the signature, including the return type, had better be explicit. Also, I think there was some performance issue with too much

It's not a dictionary (type-wise). "as const" is the magic ingredient.

First thought: Looks very similar to IcePanel. I wish you luck, this space is in desperate need of competition. I wasn't able to find information about the company and where it is registered, might want to add that.
