Branding, you're never in doubt when some YouTuber is building a PC using Noctua fans. There's probably some weird psychology in the colour as well. Why would anyone want a fan in such an ugly colour, unless it's really good.

Once in a while I stumple on sites like Ask.com, and I can't help wonder what it's like to work there. At some point they may have outsource almost everything, but it's hard to imagine that they don't have a few IT on st

Italy and Greece have been running at over 100% for ~30 years. It's not great, but it's also not the end of the world. It's even less bad for the US, as long as lenders still trust that the US government will pay them back. 3

That actually exists. I initially avoided Zed for similar reasons, then someone pointed me to Gram. It does come with all the drawbacks of disabling AI, telemetry, phone-home and attempting to protect your privacy. It is hard to get started

People tend to focus a bit to much on the Git part of Github. Git is already relatively fine. It's nice to have a web view into the repo, users can just clone the repo, but many seems hesitant to do so as if it's some major operat

mp3.com should really be listed under "media & music". So much amazing music and creativity was lost when the site closed. You can apparently dig out a massive zip file or something from archive.org, but last I tried it was al

You could dump it to some website or an app on your computer, but that feels like much the same. For me it depends on the implementation. It the watch continuously push data to the phone, then yes, BUUUH! What I'd love is a fitness tra

Some languages uses the terms "turquoise green" and "turquoise blue", but still have "turquoise" as a standalone. It would be interesting to have that tested, e.g. when do you use each term, when do you go from

Perhaps not serious, but I think people gravitate towards older systems these days because they are easier to conceptualize. It's not unrealistic for a single person to have a complete grasp of e.g. the C64 and it's programming en

This is one of those situation where both things can be true at the same time. Social media companies have shown that they do not give a shit about the mental health of their users, quite the opposite seems to be true. Yes, parents are resp

What I find weird is the assumption that everyone would like soda with artificial sweeteners, but I guess other don't taste it the same way. There are restaurants where I just give up and just get water. Strange because I assumed much

We had the same experience with Meta engineers. One candidate had been with Meta/Facebook for seven years and had nothing to show for it. They had an incredibly hard time articulating what work they actually did. It was something relat

That is one of my huge complaints about the current levels of AI investments. You can do pretty much anything you want if you got $150B to spend, and then you go burn it on being uncompetitive in the AI space. Then you have the $80B Metas R

No, but it is economical to translate into e.g. English, less so to translate into Swedish or Estonian.

Many of the comments talks about the price of books like those required for college courses, and the article don't really make a big deal of this, but the statistic it uses does specifically say "recreational books". If your

In some sense I'm starting to think it has more to do with accounting. Hardware, datacenters and software licenses (unless it's a subscription, which is probably is these days) are capital expenses, cloud is an operation expense.

The numbers I could find says 1 million, with about 35% paying. I'd say that a million users is pretty good, but 350.000 paying users isn't, if you're a $60B company. Someone else mentioned that Anysphere has a $1B ARR, but I

You're correct: "WSL9x runs a modern Linux kernel (6.19 at time of writing) cooperatively inside the Windows 9x kernel" I missed the part that it runs on the bloody Windows 9x kernel, I was to busy thinking about modern Windo

The Microsoft Lumia 540 looks remarkably like a modern phone still and it had a fairly easily replaceable battery, because it allowed you to replace the back cover. There's also the Lumia 920, which is arguably a nicer looking phone th

Other than a few people who absolutely must have the latest phone, I only see two reason why people replace their phone: 1) Battery is no good. 2) Operating system has stopped getting updates and they can no longer run that one or two apps

I know of a company that's stuck on the datacenter edition, because they aren't allowed by some customers to store their data in the cloud. I can't imagine how much they must pay for that. Until they finish evaluating competi

I know at least two companies that won't be able to use Atlassian products anymore if that's the case. They really don't give a shit about privacy and regulatory requirements.

Atlassian also shutdown their self-hosted offerings. I'm not sure which version they were on with their datacenter edition, when that got cancelled. Part of it might also simply be a lax approach to QA, now that they don't have to
