to me it is definitely "attention deficit", and it is a deficit in attention in two distinct ways: 1) it's a deficit in that i can't put my attention where i want to put it when i want to put it there. this is definitel

Oh no. At least nothing of value is affected. :)

Some of us very much are, and we are ignored and/or attacked by people who don’t think about this quite often. This is such an interesting time to be in. Truly skilled developers like Rob Pike really don’t like AI, but many profession

We are much more than weights which output probable next tokens. You are a fool if you think otherwise. Are we conscious beings? Who knows, but we’re more than a neural network outputting tokens. Firstly, and most obviously, we aren’t LLM

Why not? GoDaddy is a valid domain registrar. The customer had dual MFA set up. The customer did all the right things. I’ve never heard of Godaddy making this kind of egregious mistake before. I’ve heard of some doozies, sure, but nothin

It really isn’t that hard if you frame it correctly. Computers are data processing machines with input and output. People today think they are vehicles to show design skill, and that’s not what they are. Focusing on design instead of util

This is why I kind of think that UI/UX should be handled by normal developers who do other things as well. People whose sole job is UI/UX must do things like this in order to stay employed, normal developers don’t. So teach norm

If reading exhausts you, don’t read it. The comment’s size is apparent before reading a single word, so you can avoid it if it is too large. “EEE” comments are short and exhausting and there is no warning visible.

people that say things like this are exhausting. exhausting . You make it so very easy to classify you straight into the "looney" bin. People said that WSL was EEE for Linux. when that didn't happen, people said that WSL

it means they can see all the telemetry from a single machine, but the identity of the machine is not tied to any human identity or github account. each machine appears to get its own UUID and that's how they "identify" mach

I'm curious why people think this is in the same ballpark as that something like a private investigator can do. This isn't spying at all. "oh no, they're aware of someone at the computer 19416146-F56B-49E4-BF16-C0D8B337

I have an open WiFi network provisioned which can’t reach the internet or even outside its own VLAN. Some tvs will automatically connect to open APs and use them, so I made my own which has the strongest signal of any of them. Otherwise, T

Software has incredible inertia compared to hardware. It is effectively trivial to buy millions of dollars of hardware to upgrade your stuff when compared with paying for existing software to be rewritten for a new platform.

So type “curl.exe” instead of “curl” or remove the alias in PowerShell.

You are wrong. You may think that they aren’t related because you write software without thinking about computer science, but that says more about you and modern software development seat-filling than it does anything else. One can’t write

Comp-sci people like repeatability when they want that and true randomness when that is desired. Things in between are rarely desired. In computing, things are much more useful when they behave in predictable ways. Even AI, many (most?) w

I only do it when it is deserved, and I don’t feel like it is anything abnormal after reading the thread it is in. I would consider anyone that did not have a similar “are we the baddies” reaction to those posts to have a severe personality

why else would you buy a mac to run VMs? arm64 hardware is cheap, x64 hardware is cheap and both of those can run as many Linux or Windows VMs as you have RAM to run.

that is insane. why is that blocked in the UK? or is it imgur that blocks the UK? everything is weird these days.

Active Desktop was a different thing, on top of what I was talking about. But the post parent to yours was correct about HTML being in Win2k: https://imgur.com/ncvvBY0 That infopanel on the left is HTML.

Agreed. Even WinXP had goofy web technology tied into File Explorer (called “Windows Explorer” then, I believe). Win2K was just optimal, for me, for what I was doing at the time.

Yes we all realize that. It’s MacOS VMs that we want to run.

Yeah that is what I was going to do until I discovered the two VM limit. I was building a MacOS GitHub Actions farm, or rather, looking into it. I had written most of the code but my inertia screeched to a halt when I discovered the two V

They still EXIST though. And I saw one the other day on the Refurbished store. They’re definitely still around. Even a 256GB model would run a load of 16GB VMs

by naikrovek 6mo ago
They are likely scared of people who would run MacOS virtual desktop farms, without also buying an appropriate number of Apple machines. That’s what I would be worried about if my primary source of income was hardware sales.
