That's the point that is the worse for me to ask that "for writing the grant itself"... I don't see why it ,would be rude. Only if the proposal is of bad quality!

European "institutional" projects are always so brain fucked... If you look "how to apply they say": We've kept the application form short so as not to waste your time. They you see the form... https:/&#x2F

Crazy to think that all of that happens in the country of George Orwell that was probably too in advance for his time with 1984 and the Animal Farm. It was supposed to be a kind of satire of his own time, but it was in the end a perfect pre

The framing of this article sucks. It is rather cool that you can hack your own car that easily. Framing it like "the evil valet" gives incentive and excuse to the manufacturer to lock down everything. While a real 3 letter agency

I would more easily guess that it is a revenge of Trump for Anthropic humiliating him when he wanted to use it without control for military purpose. And indeed it used against them their own marketing allegations.

Imagine if code editors were created by greedy **** behaving as Anthropic, and it would not have been allowed to create other code editors using an existing code editor. Or even better, you couldn't use Bash, zsh, ... to create another

To be put in perspective with their push for very short live certificates, like 7 days, with the argument that anyone can easily get certificate from at any time. But in fact, little by little you have all the stacks needed to be able to is

The truth is very often that it is long and hard not to do the work to comply but how to not comply or do complicated things to abuse of loophole despite being able to pass the law on the letter of it. Especially in the case of apple or Goo

Is it really a counter example? "Gathering 12 partners for at least 3 years, towards a suite composed of 16 apps!" Read the About page and tell me what is it exactly that you will be paying for? https://nextgraph.org&#x

In all cases, it is not 100% of the money that is wasted uselessly. There is still a few percents that are directly to useful use. Like there some companies or big companies that contribute in some cases in significant open source projects

Always the same broken pattern of the EU: throwing shitload of money to the big actors of a field without really a coherent strategy or a real control of how the funds are used. Like that, a few companies are specialized in sucking public f

Probably linked to this use of "in-browser" database, but for me, keeping a few linear tabs open for too long, and the memory usage of my web browser skyrocket to abusive levels...

"4 years later it's clear that those backlog features would not have helped at all. It is a good thing they never got built." To me, it is a survivor bias. How could you know where you would have been now if you built these f

Maybe I missed the context or maybe it is a crappy auto generated page void of content . Like the kind where you put buzzwords for marketing to let think that you company is highly technical when you have no idea what you are speaking about

This blog post is totally awesome! Very clear and explaining in simple and visual terms like I have rarely seen before. Really the sweet spot between a too technical deep dive that requires a strong background to read, and the opposite of a

I easily guess that it is just that you are used to Mac, so you easily "forget" the common issues that you are usually encountering. For example, one of the most common example is icloud subtly enabled by default for syncing photo

Against wolf dressing as a grandma... On the outside they present that as a feature for your safety, but how common is really that someone can pretend to be one of your friends or family member and mid call you don't notice that it is

Here is the kind of crap they are building instead of focusing on stabilizing their core business features. And after they will accuse the growth and all to be responsible for their stability issues...

Th guy says that they don't know where the cash is so it is "obviously" used for money laundering... But even for money laundering, the cash has to buy real things or it would be useless. So a total sack of bullshit. The kind

It looks crazy that with all the cash they have at end they can't sustain the cost of their own investments by themselves.

The biggest shame is for Gitlab I think, if you ever try to run the service, empty, without any repository or user yet, you will need a very powerful CPU and already a dozen GB or RAM. To do nothing...

In addition with my usual rant about the current situation with most devs that now want to use dependencies in prod almost the day that they are released, there is something else that I just realized. A big part of the problem might be attr

What makes it llm generated to me is that somehow it is hard to read. What I mean is that each sentence looks well made and from a highly skilled writer. But reading a few parameters I'm lost quite fast. Like if there was no coherence

The guy looks like to be a kind of cancer of all that is going back with hiring in FAANG. He is indirectly responsible or at least part of everything that was terrible in most of the big techs he was part off. By his own admission, each tim

They are highly responsible for all of that. They are diversified a lot with a lot of random things instead of focusing on their core business. They have actively pushed people to use the service and feature more. Think about countless acti

It is like over-engineered if you have that as feature flag instead of just in the customer configuration... "The customer would like the main page blue and another one the red". Would it be feature flag for you?

Kind of another proof that Systemd is a cancer... Little by little, all parts of the stack have to switch to have strong dependencies to it. All of that for things totally unrelated to the feature of "init system". And just in the

I don't know recently, but at the time that systemd was shoved through our throat, you could look at the source code and it was a giant ball of horse shit. Following bad practices, hard coding things, ... With absolutely strong tendenc

Especially Xiaomi did a huge ugly U-turn like this. Use to be the best hardware for low price with the selling point of no-crap fully customable phones. And then, once they become dominant enough starting to play it like the others but stuf
