it’s great about cutting edge tech and spaceflight, but could do without the needless callout. i and many engineers i know build, support, and run life-critical systems, emergency systems, flight software, and more. software absolutely need

iPhone 14 has satellite connectivity for emergencies, other handset makers are doing this too. in 10 years the picture will look much different, and i doubt any phone will ever have truly “no service” again.

this is crazy. in 2015 i paid 480 eur in berlin for a 20qm room, then 1050 for 101 qm (on 48k eur in a 3 person WG) and then 1355 for 50 qm in hamburg (neubau). never had an 8% increase tho, that’s rough. it was a different world in 2005 fo

without a doubt the strangest take. they released open source implementations of an a11y feature, and did so in languages designed with mathematic computation, and you’re mad because FAANG + didn’t use rust? wut

i don't see how the usage of different written `ta` "ruins" anything. how anyone can not see how the events of may 4th and the inclusiveness of women (as a hallmark of young socialist movements) are related is beyond me. make

i hate to break it to you, but we understand very little of human sexuality as it is. kids, especially as they grow up under parents with ideas like yours, struggle a lot with their identity when they are queer. they're not being coach

i asked chatgpt to generate hex colours in a pleasing palette. the hex codes matched the colours, and the palette was alright but one colour was off. then i told it to replace the colour but keep the others the same, and it picked new sligh

if there is a button in software, it can be hacked _in software_ this is in hardware and cannot be tampered with. apple also doesn't make backdoors, haven't you heard of what happened with the FBI?

as a fellow jew: “he’s a jew” vs “he’s a _jew_” and “the jews run X” i’d prefer jewish / jewish people. we’re not a monolith, nor is any other minority group. and for that matter, navigating society and learning that not all people pre

gender and sexuality are a spectrum. take your hate and bigotry elsewhere. straight people exist, gay people exist, queer people exist. trans people exist. NB people exist. it must be so tiring to be so full of hatred.

there's no rule saying that anyone needs to cater to fascists. in fact, they should not be allowed in civil society and should be ostracised, for their views are against human rights. who cares about their viewpoints? it's not eve

twitterific and tweetbot were amazing polished UIs that made twitter better, before twitter even had a first party app. and twitterific coined tonnes of metaphors and UI that twitter uses to this day. if you don't know the history of t

you do realise that twitterific shaped a LOT of twitter in the early days, like he says in the article? that the concepts they pioneered in their app, which twitter didn't have (they didn't have a first party app for quite a while

if he’s doing well, don’t go behind his back and ask people if his behaviour is “correct”. what a weird thing to do as a parent. forcing him to code, or asking him why he doesn’t, will only damage your relationship. as others have said, nob

my org is like that, and it’s not full of narcissists who fire people, yell at people, and treat others with contempt. no one acts as if they are the arbiter of all decisions, or that they know some untold secret of the universe. we also pu
