Why are we still talking about this? Computers are INCREDIBLY efficient and still become orders of magnitude more efficient. Computation is really negligible in the grand scheme of things. In the 80s some people also said that our whole wor

And then at some point the codebase becomes so unusable that new features take too long and out of frustration management decides to hire 500 extra programmers to fix the situation, which makes the situation even more slow. As I understand,

Especially with the current high polarization, I am becoming more and more appreciative of historians. They are not perfect, but do find useful parallels from time to time. My favorite recent talk was by Niall Ferguson [1]. And sure, it&#x2

Why should we care about the environmental impact of EUV machines? I think it's probably better to focus on things which have a real environmental impact. For example, EUV machines are estimated to 54 000 GWh per year by 2030 [1]. This

I think it’s a balance. You do need to be an asshole sometimes to get things done. But you don’t need to be an asshole all the time. It’s an easy excuse to say you need to be a prick because otherwise you cannot do your great achievements.

I find it a sad thing that often great achievements and ruthlessness go hand in hand. “Hard times create strong men and strong men create good times” is a famous quote. For example, it applies to Arnold Schwarzenegger since his father appar

There is a long history of confusing or weird project names in computing like sqlite, gif, Splunk, Hadoop, Coq, MongoDB (from humongous apparently), yacc, C, R, and X (the window manager; not a lang or the social media site).

I tried that. The problem is that you will always need a middle-end (a separate server between your stand-alone front end application and the GitHub server). You can't just distribute a stand-alone app and let it talk to GitHub directl

What clients do you use to connect to it? I just setup a Conduit server and can connect from my Mac via https://app.element.io as well as the official MacOS app, but the iPhone apps cannot find it somehow. Does that work for you
