This also leads to devs burning out, because you’ve listed a bunch of jobs most programmers hate, whether or not they happen to be able to do them well. That causes churn, which further erodes expertise.

Desktop Linux kind of peaked 20-25 years ago with Debian. Ubuntu was a win for a few years after that, but it’s been a long slow slide since. FWIW, Devuan is good enough to keep me from switching to a BSD, but I guess the vandals that work

Single event upsets are already commonplace at sea level well below data center scale. The section of the article that talks about them isn’t great. At least for FPGAs, the state of the art is to run 2-3 copies of the logic, and detect out

Nah; let it fail in place. See also: Any on-prem horror show that budgeted for capex, rent, cooling, network and power, but not maintenance.

Or just triangulate any signals being sent to it, and fire missiles at the source.

That’s an overly optimistic way to look at it. The geological record shows there were glaciers in parts of France and Germany the last time th current shut down. (When it shut down due to CO2 induced global warming.) Also, the temperature

Also, the last time I checked, many GPUs explicitly detect + block this because they want you to pay for more expensive datacenter versions of the hardware. Did something change?

Yeah; but the ones that don’t care about the details often ask someone “which one should I buy?” Currently, for MacBooks, the answer is “the small one doesn’t have a fan, so for sustained work like games or iMovie it is slower. However, it

The article says it’s going on Intel 18a, which has better performance, but worse density/power consumption than TSMC’s comparable node: https://www.techspot.com/news/106782-intel-18a-found-faster-... Unless Apple

So, they’re going to use a more power hungry process for the low end devices? The whole point of the Air and SE lines was that they were lightweight and compact. Watching a company at that scale completely lose its own plot is depressing.

The last (hopefully only) Stellantis vehicle we owned had trouble with its transmission’s network connection. “Nothing stops a Ram, except routine driving”. I’m completely unsurprised they’re pushing spam to the dashboard. The crazy thing i

The US CLOUD Act says that if Amazon has the technical ability to access those machines, they must do so if the US government asks them to. So, unless it’s a separate legal entity, and also shares no authentication, software deployment, or

This is much better than I would have guessed! I have a pile of “still officially supported” nvidia boards that stopped working with things like compositors and screensavers about 5 years ago. At that point I switched to amd, because “works

This would be trivial to implement well. Give the parents a console where they can paste in usernames. Most classes already have parents whatsapp groups or similar, so it’s easy enough to broadcast the usernames, or create a shared google

Microsoft forces login these days for single player play, and jams ads, social networking crap. As a parent, I don’t have time for this bullshit, and assume they have malicious intentions. Also, at least once, there was some warning about

As a paying kagi customer that uses orion, I’ll just point out that there’s a reason “enshittification” was the word of the year recently. Much of it had to do with testimony during the Google antitrust trial. It’s hard to understand how K

Even before then, 99% of the difference came down to whether chrome and firefox were properly using gpu acceleration. (Both could be easily misconfigured.) I never saw a situation where the actual engine performance mattered in real world

People that don't understand make are destined to recreate it poorly, and there's no better example than cmake, imho. Here's my arc through C/C++ build systems: - make (copy pasted examples) - RTFM [1] - recursive make f

The sigils in Rust (and perl) are there to aid readability. After you use it a bit, you get used to ignoring them unless they look weird. All the python programs I've had to maintain (I never choose python) have had major maintainabil

I'd really like to know how signal deals with this. It's supposedly super secure + stuff, but it's built on top of this ecosystem.

So, I do this because it's universally recommended, but why does it help? Can't they just jam the malware into the package itself? It runs with the same permissions on my machine (in unit tests, node servers, etc).

I've had decent luck running it locally, but claude keeps screwing up the cool-down settings in my monorepo. This is probably a common problem. Has anyone gotten verdaccio to enforce cool-down policies? I also waste a ton of time beca

Is there something similar to this for rust wasm? I have some frontend use cases for rust that I just ended up rewriting in typescript because transferring and loading the wasm rust blob is more expensive than running the program. I imagine

That one is arguably Intel’s fault. The last few generations of intel macbooks did the same thing, and I had the same issues under Linux (except they were debuggable there, and clearly Intel’s problem). Apple fixed it by switching to their

The current issue is iOS 26.1’s wallpaper renderer crashes in a tight loop if the default wallpaper isn’t installed. It isn’t under Xcode. I have macos crash reporting turned off, but crashreport pins the CPU for a few minutes on each ios

The UI says that it’ll work under FF anyway, but I guess they don’t test the fallback.

I wonder where the widely-cited 3% marketshare number comes from. Does it include dilution from mobile? China/Russia-mandated browsers? Even with that (Chrome probably is below 50% if you count that way), 3% is lower than I’ve seen. I

Have you used chrome? The depth of enshittifaction is staggering. Setting it up from scratch is like watching a Cory Doctorow documentary. The only change that’d get me to willingly use the engine would be the DOJ mandating the return of
