Imagine vibe coding spreads to civil engineering and people start building bridges this way. Have AI design it and then probably 3D print it on location. > legal consequences for exposing customer information. Still a good idea. Also wit

It probably wasn't even hostility; it's just that accounts is also an infrastructure component. And when that fails, everything fails. Tying everything to a single account creates a single point of failure. It's one of the re

Visa and Mastercard are also an excellent example of two companies we trust way too much despite having proven many times they don't deserve that trust.

Yeah, at some point the article says: > I’d done everything right. Vault encryption keys stored separately from my main infrastructure. Defense in depth. Zero trust architecture. The works. Did you? Is putting all your eggs in one basket

Those are the states I expect, indeed, but lately I find them increasingly unreliable. I've had Windows unable to sleep, Linux crashing after hibernating, MacOS issues are addressed aplenty here. I thought this was a solved issue. How

That orbit has only really been possible since the sinking of Numenor. Better make use of it now that we can.

There's ideas like this every couple of years, and I love the idea, but they never seem to go anywhere. I think Nokia's Maemo/Meego was the first, and it keeps popping up, but it never seems to go anywhere. I understand this

I doubt I'll ever play a game like that, but it does sound reasonable for a game like that to exist. Especially in light of the horror and violence we do allow. (Didn't GTA require you to torture someone? I know people who refuse

Amsterdam used to have a line to Amstelveen that ran trams and metros on the same track. The main disadvantage is the different platform heights, so you got very long platforms, half at tram height and half at metro height. I think they sto

And not just because you're letting the AI steal your credit, but also because it misinforms management about the value of AI. If they think the best work comes from AI, they might want more AI, but if it actually comes from human craf

We recently had a poll at work about what we were using AI for, and there was only a single vote for "I'm not using any AI for ky work", and that was mine. Maybe I should share this article in that chat; then I might seem les

My solution is simply to not go to the US. I'm sorry. I know it used to be a great country, and there are still many great people living there, but I'm afraid the US dropped below China on the list of countries I'd like to vi

Of course they don't store your entire genome; 99.9% of that is identical for all humans. That has no value to them at all. It's only the 0.1% that can vary between humans that's of any interest. (Note that there are very dif

The article fails to explain why you shouldn't delete your DNA data at 23 and me. It does a good job explaining why the risks of letting them keep it are exaggerated, which might be true (I'm still skeptical), but what is the reas

Me and my sister are left-handed, but nobody else in our family. And suddenly not one but two kids? (We're not twins.)

After the resurgence of homophobia, racism, antivax, misogyny, I've been wondering if we're undoing the last couple of centuries of civilization. I never expected the next step to be left-handedness becoming associated with evil a

Thank you! I was wondering why a one-paragraph story was posted here with the real content in two links you'd have to follow. Your version has some actual content.

Of course you don't want to ignore that alarm 200 times a day. That's why I'd rather just ban everything with metal. All of these things have non-metal alternatives that you could easily enforce in such a specialized setting.

Cocoon was indeed my first exposure to the wonderful world of caching. I used Cocoon's event caching to create a preemptive caching for a particularly complicated situation.

He addresses that in the article. In fact, it's the primary thing the article is about. Half the article is about the contradiction between housing as investment and housing as shelter.

The real problem driving up prices, both in housing and concerts, is scalpers. They create artificial scarcity. If you want to fix these sort of problems, you have to do something about scalpers.

Is your argument that what Strong Towns and NJB are doing is somehow invalid because they're not also doing something completely different? Raising awareness is also a very important role. Sure, maybe 5 friends can get you elected to a

I did a lot of XSLT 20 years ago. I worked for a company making an open source CMS that did everything in XML. Content was XML, obviously, pipelines (using Apache Cocoon) were defined in XML, and used XSLT to transform XML into different

My oldest son switched to Linux last week, but already wants to switch back because of gaming performance. But he found something called Tiny10, which is apparently Windows without all the bloatware. That might be a solution for people who

I hadn't noticed that yet. I wonder if my youngest son also gets that message and if he could make that change; he has no admin rights on the Windows laptop he uses for Minecraft, so I would hope he can't do that. Although he also

But at least you can play the game. And maybe play with people with a similarly cracked version. That sounds entirely reasonable to me, if you don't want to have anything to do with Microsoft.
