There might not be a housing shortage on the North American continent, but that doesn't help because people want to live in New York, not upper Saskatchewan

Nobody will walk to a bridge site and ask them to build twice as many lanes and change one of the endpoints to be in New Jersey instead. IT projects are unique in the absolutely churn of requirements

Sometime in the 2010s when I was still with BMO, their online banking required you to have a six-digit password. No letters, let alone special characters. And no MFA of course

Can I nominate every single award flight finder from every airline? It's almost as if they want you to get frustrated and give up on trying to book your free flight

Do lawsuits ever really end, or do the parties just run out of money? Isn’t the SCO v. Linux thing still shambling on in some court?

Developers pay for tools gladly when the pricing model isn’t based on how much money you’re making. I’m happy to drop a fixed 200e/mo on Claude but I’d never sign paperwork that required us to track user installs and deliver $0.02 per

Companies made cookie banners as obnoxious as possible, because they knew that by making people hate the banners, the population would turn against the GDRP

Usually in USA regulations apply to cars, but everyone drives a light truck that's exempt from regulations ranging from emission to pedestrian safety

The bane of my existence is the new "smart" matrix lights, which claim you don't have to switch to low beams for incoming traffic. I bet they work great in AutoCAD or perfect vacuum, but in reality you have the pesky atmosphe

” It is impressive to see Quake run at full speed knowing that Windows 95 runs DOS executable in a virtual machine. My guess is that, in full screen, memory writes and reads to the VGA are given direct access to the hardware to preserve per

"It's not illegal copying if you refuse to sell me a copy" doesn't really sound any better to me.

archive.is is frequently used to bypass paywalls, I wonder if this is motivated by that somehow

by nikanj 11mo ago
"It's not stealing if you refuse to sell it to me" is a pretty sketchy line of thinking in my opinion

Hardware is a profit center, software is a cost center, and they get treated accordingly

You can’t build a Ford Pinto and then swap the piston heads and rear differential to get a Formula 1 car.

Probably not, because the evidence itself is not created in a vacuum. There is no objective way to measure IQ "stuff", so depending on the methods picked you get wildly different results

I'm surprised it didn't fix it by removing the code. In my experience, if you give Claude a failing test, it fixes it by hard-coding the code to return the value expected by the test or something similar. Last week I asked it to l

32-bit might not be, but i686 definitely is. Last pure i686 chips without MMX shipped sometime around 1998-1999

Which ones of those don’t have MMX / SSE? Debian is not enabling any x86 instruction extensions that didn’t ship on the Pentium Pro

by nikanj 1y ago
The language is incredibly frank, and I agree with it completely. The retro-computing hobby doesn't need the ability to run contemporary operating systems. It's insane that x86 Debian is still compiling all software targeting Pent
