I think the problem is the overuse compared to the times before ChatGPT. Same for furthermore, thus, delve and other words. Heck em dashes are so obscure that I doubt 1% of the population knows how to type it on their own keyboard. Those he

While I share the sentiment expressed, I highly doubt the general public would be as supportive if the roles were reversed, like if a 3rd world country attempted to nationalize an investment from a Western nation, particularly given the his

You're talking about it as if it was a bug, it was not. I'm pretty sure a generation of MBAs got raised and retired really rich shifting manufacturing jobs to China. The narrative about them not being open is just a way to cope wi

Kind of off-topic, but it's such a pity that we arrived at email as the local minimum for the best communication protocol for transactional messages. Having to set up an email service just to be able to enable authentication flows on a

Same here. Cloudflare products are a really good balance for small projects that could eventually need to scale up. Durable objects is such a cool concept in itself that I don't know why it didn't catchup the same way in other pro

In the end it's all about friction, communicating IRL is much easier and less constrained. You can make online work but you have to adjust your expectations of how much time something takes and optimise for a split between focus time a

I don't know, it's really hard to blame them. In a way, the next couple of years are going to be a battle to balance easy access to info with compensation for content creators. The web as we knew it before ChatGPT was built around

I recently listened to the interview between Ben Thompson and Cloudflare's CEO Matthew Prince and couldn't shake the feeling of a company that tries hard to repeatedly hit gold with the business model of being the gatekeeper of th

Lol honestly, not sure how they can be compared. Uber is a shitty proposition in any way and is mostly a way for us to get easy access to cheap labor. Nobody ever got rich driving for Uber. There's no way you can say the same about You

I can't understand the perspective of those who defend privatizing natural monopolies. I'm not against privatization in any way, but good governance is impossible without consequences for failure. Focusing on Thames Water's

As much as I understand this is needed it rubs me the wrong way. The standard looks fine as a distributed protocol until you have to register to pay a rent to Cloudflare, which they say will eventually trickle down into publishers pocket bu

I think the idea would be that you can train people to move up the ladder into more productive roles, think about how China grew by eating the supply chain of western companies upwards. IMHO a bigger problem is the whole MBA mentality of st

Is that really true? My impression is that companies tries as much as possible to not use the O-1 route, not sure because the requirements are by design too high or process and cost are not worth it compared to other routes. O(1) data point

That's not how a global policy works is it? The process was closer to a central guidance with enough notice for local councils to override it if they had the means to justify it. You don't need additional policing as you can reuse

Your example is definitely not a good example of global policies for a local problem. In Wales it was up to the local councils to identify areas that under proper safe circumstances would keep their different limits, defaulting to being red

The idea is nice but pricing for it might be so hard to land. You're proposal is that I have to pay $20/mo for a Cursor licence which includes an IDE, coding agent and all the shenanigans involved to make it work and then on top o

I totally agree in theory, in the same way I agree that Amazon delivering everything from a nearby warehouse is far more optimal than having thousands of small bookshops or random shops in prime locations. I think that's the main visio

Oh that rings true and it's so depressive. But I think it has more to do with this notion that everything you do socially is awkward in some degree and could be seeing as bad or hurtful, smartphones didn't help us there with the c

I don't get your point. JDK 11 LTS is from 2018 and after that Oracle pushed two LTS releases: JDK 17 in 2021 and JDK 21 in 2023. On top of that Oracle is commited to releasing a LTS every 2 years with the next one planed for later thi

I think it's deeper than that. There's an incentive on not going against your own military because doing so would attract the wrong kind of mentality and makes things worse when you need them. So unless there are real consequences
