The scope of back-end development has grown considerably. In fact, it's precisely "one level of indirection" bigger: "commit is the new save", "push is the new commit", and "repo is the new module&quo

Yes, and moving to the EU was like moving forward 20 years. The IBAN system is fantastic! The seller gives you their IBAN number, and you tell your bank to send money to that number. It happens instantly and for 0% commission. There are no

I don't know much about it, but I would assume that some effort would be made by miners to look in different parts of the search space - you don't want 1000 machines looking checking the same hashes, in order, after all.

Yes, fines should be leveled against FAANG in "billybucks" - billions of dollars. As in, "Today Google got fined 5 billybucks for privacy violations."

Same. Currently my Framework drains battery far too quickly when suspended. Also the fingerprint reader doesn't work, which I don't care about. It turns out for my typical patterns the battery thing is only a nuisance. I assume th

Linux must run well on ALL laptops because every distro tells you to just burn a USB stick, install on your rando laptop, and it will work great! Which is, if course, a lie. You end up with a lot of disappointed users who have "done th

Agree macOS on M1 is the best DX you can get today. However, I've been running Ubuntu 22 on a Framework (Intel 11th gen) laptop - and it's 90% of the DX of macOS.

This falls squarely in the "concerning but I can literally do nothing about it" category for me. What am I going to do, pick the next President based on their attitude about ship maintenance? Even if I was in the Navy, what could

It's almost like landlords are engaged in rent-seeking behavior.

It sounds like you're arguing in good faith, but no, I'm sorry, you're just wrong. In any conflict, a smaller adversary is better. Individual landlords, who live in the neighborhood, are in every way more accountable for thei

So, yes, housing is artificially scarce because of "anti-development and NIMBY forces". But there are other forces at work, particularly good old market forces. Corpos that compete with me when I am buying housing for my family ca

An excellent argument for further consolidation of every industry - now they are big enough to attract scrutiny! Look, less competition is actually better for consumers! I mean, wow.

They’d use less power; they’d be hardy against the elements; they’d be repairable — that’s crucial — and they’d be comprehensible. The whole stack, from the hardware to the boot loader to the OS (if there is one) to the application, would

Yeah, how about this: when I get a gift card, I a) discount the gift about 50% based on EV and b) consider the giver kind of stupid for wasting money like this. It's like the opposite of being impressed with someone for getting a good

I want gift cards banned not because of scammers. Like pay-day loan services, gift cards are based on the fraud of profound information asymmetry. Gift cards make liquid cash worse in almost every dimension. It's tied to one supplier.

So, I realize this is a big ask - but can you please write this up as a story and sent it to a major news outlet? My cynicism is already high, but I would not have suspected this of all things, that telcos would allow the elderly to be vi

My intuition agrees with all you've written. But one possibility remains, and that is that our intuitions are wrong and the OP is purposefully lying to attack a target. The odds of this needs to be reassessed particularly in light of c

Well, you've got to do the experiment. Move to a major European city center, with kids, without a car, and see how you like it. I tried this in Berlin, and it was quite good! Getting around on the U-Bahn with kids is so nice . You get

All of your examples are news by the quotes definition. Plenty of people don't want any of that printed. Much of it comes down to fights over zero-sum pies. Successful launch of a shuttle? We're wasting money on space and the medi

Good on you for trying to grow food, and seeing how hard it is! Over time I've grown more and more fond of people just doing hard things , not necessarily new things, admiring the willingness to "wade through reality" to see
