It definitely sounds like a hard problem. I'm not familiar with the current process, but based on what I found when I looked it up, it seems like there is a verification step already in place, but some of the methods of verification ar

I'm not sure I understand your point, nor you mine. I'm not commenting about the Netherlands specifically, I'm commenting about people leaving the United States for anywhere because they feel similar to you about "the gr

The names have always been quirky, but the new names mostly seem to be chosen for some branding / marketing reason (which I don't like). You can basically put "[any noun] javascript library" into google and find somethin

As opposed to more tech, I'd prefer (significantly) less mass.

I was a victim of this when I moved into my house. Being unfamiliar with the area, I googled for a locksmith near me. It returned a result in a shopping center just about a mile away from me. I'd driven past that center before, it seem

Sam Altman is probably among the fakest people on the planet. OpenAI's product offerings also seem to have been trounced by their competition.

IMO the issue is that there's little to no enforcement outside of speeding. I see people get pulled over for speeding in a straight line even if it's relatively safe to do so, but never for talking on their phone, messing with the

OpenAI is my least favorite AI company and Disney is (recently) among my least favorite entertainment conglomerates. Sounds like a match made in heaven. Good luck with the investment.

Protip: don't use Facebook. Meta doesn't control the internet. Post whatever you like. I'm sick of people kowtowing to these platforms; people are increasingly censoring themselves, afraid to even post a picture with a word l

100%. I mean people that immigrated to the US from anywhere though. I was joking with a store clerk and mentioned Germany as a potential escape vector. The lady in line behind me says in a German accent, "You don't want to live in

Ah, yes. Of course, in the wake of the fall of the United States, everywhere else on earth will immediately flourish. Just my 2 cents, but before you leave, you might want to talk to some immigrants about what brought them to the United Sta

I don't trust Sam Altman. I'm surprised that anyone does.

Code in whichever language suits your problem, whether you're vibing or not, the trade-offs are mostly the same. Yes, I could use C if I cared more about runtime than development time; it will take me longer to code review AI generated

Lines of code written, in isolation, is a strange metric to determine if someone keeps their job or not. I simply don't think this was the only metric. People love jumping to conclusions about divisive characters.

Just buy, buy, buy up the competition. Hope someone stops the big fish before it's the only one left.

People sure are quick to say, "I hope you get to work with better management". Man, me too, but I find that dismissive of a legitimate concern: There is A LOT of incompetent management, especially in enterprise. The sad truth is t

I wish they edited it to be more extreme. Go full Torvalds like the good 'ol days before every opinion was "political".

Sounds probable to me... This is a great example of why I am by default anti-app unless there's a demonstrable benefit to the user (e.g. Offline mode or something). If the web version of Netflix goes away then I will never access it ag

I used to use arch linux, but I've been using windows in recent times for simplicity and usability by non-technical people. Windows is starting to piss me off though, so I might move back to some linux distro in the near future. I don&

At the end of the day, all I really care about is consistency. It's annoying to switch between projects which use different branch names to describe the same thing. That being said, this is a dumb reason to introduce inconsistency.

It's kinda funny how uv is written in Rust and many Python libraries where performance is expected to matter (NumPy, Pandas, PyTorch, re, etc.) are implemented in C. Even if you call into fast code from Python you still have to contend
