Shot already for criticising the shiny thing (happened with crypto and blockchain already...) Well to be fair no one checks what the graduates do properly, even if we hired KPMG in. That is until we get sued. But at least we have someone to

Let's put it this way, from another mathematician, and I'm sure I'll probably be shot for this one. Every LLM release moves half of the remaining way to the minimum viable goal of replacing a third class undergrad. If your bu

And I dumped them because their client was buggy, doesn’t work offline on mobile devices and I had to use IMAP anyway…

It may use less sockets but that doesn't necessarily mean less resources. Parsing JSON is expensive, especially when there are binary types interleaved in it.

Section 3.10 of RFC8620 scares me. I know a lot about that and a lot of the complexity around that trite point is missing. Note I've designed and built a complex messaging system that runs over HTTP over unreliable connections and run

I'm not sure it does if I'm honest. The encapsulation via JSON is quite bad and transactional model of HTTP is non-existent. One of our key problems on our platform is deciding on how to handle failures like that in transactional

I think the first "big tech" adopter would be Apple if anything. Their entire email stack is standard protocols. But you have to ask on that scale, what would it bring them other than change if everything already works fine?

It's more: we have two clusterfucks now thus might as well use the one we know best. At least no one tried to use YAML on the wire, so far anyway.

That’ll be the case in ten years as well. I know a couple of people who run large email stacks (500k+ users) and this isn’t on their radar and there is no interest in it. There is a little disdain as they are comp sci people and don’t like

I'm not fastmail but this is not rocket science. Has everyone forgotten how datacentre services work in 2024?

Very conveniently glossing over the fact that if are developing for the Mac, no you don't. You can distribute it outside the store without paying anything. iOS, yep you're right.

Before, we just used Rectangle. It's no biggy.

Err we have virtual desktops, tiling, snapping and things you know, out of the box these days. I mean the virtual desktops thing is mostly what I use and it's a triple swipe on my magic trackpad to switch.

Yeah. Linux got left in the dust in about 2005 and no one has worked it out yet. The principal difference is the sheer quality of the client desktop experience hasn't improved since then. The Linux desktop apps are pretty terrible, unr

So an actual certified commercial Unix workstation is a toy now?

by hyhconito 2y ago
Some of us don't build containerised web applications you know. It's basically a Unix machine. A very fast and very cheap one.

Was even worse last week. Got off plane and metro was on strike.

It’ll rust through in a week here.

Never thought of using it for that. Annoyingly I’m in Athens right now but flying back tomorrow way too early to sneak a visit in :(

Oh damn it. Missed that one entirely. I will have to come back again.

Ha literally just saw that this morning in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens! Lurking here paid off. A good read.
