It's easy to argue we don't really live in a democracy. Plenty of laws and regulations go against the majority to favour a few powerful entities (think about copyright laws, healthcare in the US). That said, the alternative to dem

I love how you provided the tax breakdown and pretty impressive for Spain (which is notoriously a tax hell)!

I agree but that's because both iOS and Android are pretty bad in several ways. MeeGo from Nokia was pretty amazing as well and I'm sure it could have launched Linux phones into actual competitors to iOS and Android - if only Micr

This is insanely cool but it would be hard for non dev people to join the meetings and there is always an annoying "camera on" policy. Moreover, this would be competing with Google Meet, Teams, Slack, Gather - way too much tech fo

Try the latest version, it should be better Personally, I never registered that as a problem, but I can see the delta in screenshots between versions.

Claude is ChatGPT done right. It's just better under any metric. Of course OpenAI has tons of money and can branch off in all kind of directions (image, video, n8n clone, now RAG as a service). In the end I think they will all be good

not necessarily, hardware and software gains will make tokens cheaper, so we'll see where we are once the vc money runs out (or the entire US economy, there's a chance AI will pop the tech bubble of the last 20 years: I think tech

yes but the assistant often doesn't search when it should and very rarely does multiple search rounds (both on gpt5 or on claude sonnet 4.5, weaker models are even worse at tool calling)

Kudos! This is great, I started working on a similar project but never had the discipline to sit through all the edge cases. Maybe I'll start building it on top of ferron! I would love to have a minimalistic DIY serverless platform whe

Building a game engine is a titanic effort. Bevy has the best developer experience of any game framework I've ever tried (I have worked with mainstream engines - which warmed up to ECS over time - and engines that started with ECS like

Having deployed servers well before AWS was a thing, AWS alwyas felt incredibly overpriced. The only benefit you get is reliability, temporary network issues on AWS are not a thing. On DigitalOcean they are fairly bad (I lose thousands of r

CF has strong tech core but some products are unusable. You can see CF Pages had barely zero resources and the product got worse over time. Lots of issues shipping examples from mainstream frameworks that work flawlessly on vercel, netlify

I haven't tried /dev/push but I don't like these solutions, you always run into some limit and having a fancy ui is overrated. I bit the bullet and started deploying on k3s; k9s is my fancy UI. Machines are cattle, I can

Democracy is incompatible with freedom by definition, it's the dictatorship of the majority over the minority. Especially in a time where controlling public opinion is just a matter of running targeted ad campaigns on social medias and

We have kids, we're a bit crammed in our current place and we're building a 3x bigger and much nicer place. Location is a small LCOL country in Europe with high foreign income. So, I see your point about naturally needing more roo

Is your argument that python's package management & ecosystem is bad by design - to increase security? In my experience it's just bugs and poor decision making on the maintainers (eg. pytorch dropping support for intel mac, le

Very nice, albeit I'm still waiting for Ocumetics (for 8+ years) to come up with a permanent solution for both shortsightedness and longsightedness. It's a replacement for your natural lense with an accomodating lens - but it shou

In an unregulated market competitors will disrupt big business. In a regulated market big business will bribe the government and keep its monopoly, increasing inequality between the top 0.01% and the plebs.

I know I'm a minority but how can you even think we live in a capitalistic society when we're taxed and regulated on everything? This crony capitalism with a big government colluding with big business is socialism with a wig on. T
