This is data theft and there should be criminal charges against Microsoft for this nonsense.

OneDrive turns itself on after an update so what you think is local data can easily become cloud data. Then while you're not paying attention to a long running system they quietly delete it. Then folks like you come out of the woodwork

He's right. I've had this garbage turns itself on then steal files into the cloud. When you disconnect it your files are suddenly gone and you have no idea why. There's a reason I daily drive Linux.

Look at the post. It's already using ffmpeg. This just enables it in the build.

The first time I heard the name Django was like 15 years ago in college so I'm sure I've used it by hosting some project for one reason or another over the years. Python is just not my go to. Also I maintain my own framework in PH

It uses a DTO style mapping system and central factory EntityManager making unit testing a breeze. Model definitions let you map database primitives directly from the models. It will automagically build you the table on first use and it&#x2

Some of us have been working with php for 22 years at this point and frankly I think Doctrine is the best ORM period.

Me too but my job is easier since I can target a specific version of ubuntu so I'm making debs and I don't have that problem. I have recently been working on a C11 GTK+ based task manager where I run into this. https://

The tray icon dock/panel in KDE is fully removable. You can just delete it. So the opposite of that is also a thing. No one is forcing you to always have a visual presence of a program. Even Windows let's you hide tray icons forev

Yes. Exactly. This is not a reflection of where I am now in any way shape or form. Just my observation of previous places I've worked.

All I'm saying is a program isn't VHS. It's a VHS tape. At that point it's largely philosophy. Can you reconstruct a VHS format from a VHS tape? Sure.

It's cause IT never has to live with the consequences of their decisions. Who cares if the other department keeps bleeding talent because you twisted the knobs so hard no one wants to work in your system?

Try running it without a compatible ABI. See how far you get.

You compile for the lowest possible Linux kernel and bundle your libs. Don't use container formats for stuff like this. tar.gz with an installer script is king. I dunno why this is always so difficult.

Code is not a spec. It's an instruction set. It can be a spec if you try hard but that's not an inherent property of code. For example you can write code to be a compiler..that makes it a spec. But hello world is not a spec. As fo

There's a lot of assumptions in here and reductivism of the paid plans to just the models. If that's your idea of how you want to use the API sure that's a reasonable mental financial model but if you want automatic integrati

I saw that blog post about running local models on a Xeon based server so I benchmarked a bunch of local models on it. The server is dual Xeons with 256 GB of DDR4 and I found it capable of running some things locally. It's slow but st

I can use a local model to build a restaurant website. The model generates code fast enough that even my 10 year old server can generate all the code needed in about an hour. It will use about 50 cents of electricity and be better than 90%

I did this before AI though. I'd sometimes just build mockups directly in React using real components because it was quick and easy to put a form together with existing UI elements. I remember one project where the whole team was waiti

Most applications are years long projects that already have styling and code structure done by humans so if the mock up is not perfectly aligned it doesn't even matter because when you finally approve the design and get to building it;

When you are used to ordering humans around that are paid a salary measured in tens of thousands $20 seems like nothing in comparison.

When you create a VM on these cloud platforms the categories are like "general purpose, high memory, high cpu, high gpu" and there's various types of VMs to select from. They are simply using the terminology that DevOps folks

Maybe tangentially related but I always think it's silly that every linux process has the same libgcc_so.so.1 loaded into memory for each process even though the raw binary for the library is exactly the same so you end up with like 80

Both of those things are true in different ways. Purpose built for azure probably means integration with azure meta data APIs and kernel specific tweaks for the hardware. It could also be general purpose for what you can run on it. Basicall

My argument is our basic NHS level care costs us less labor to reach and that the rest of that spend is a luxury on nicer facilities, equipment, rooms, food, nurses and other personal which we are happy to spend because it's a luxury w

I live in California. We already have those things. What are you even talking about?

If my salary is 150k and I spend 5k that's 3.3%. If my salary is 60k that same 5k is 8.3%. So when I am talking about "cost" I mean hours of labor. It costs Americans fewer hours of labor to pay for their healthcare. This is

California offers basically free healthcare to those with low income.

At that point there's no material difference. You can seek out the best treatment anywhere on the planet. The point becomes moot.

You should check out the stats broken down by ethnicity and household wealth. That gives you a clearer picture of what a typical person on HN actually experiences.
