Why do I need to age verify to read this?

AI is amazing at reverse engineering, especially if you can give it a live feedback loop.

Weird case of the software letting the hardware down. You did the hard part guys!

+1 almost all from the US. The strongest signal is whether they use an eBank/app that has a one-click button to report transactions as fraudulent. The Apple card(?) seems especially prevalent.

Good. They treated their customers terribly and actions have consequences. I was double charged for a flight and they just refused to acknowledge it until I charged back, after which I assume they banned me.

In the short term, maybe. I don't think that's the case in the long run. They normalise the behaviour for others, even telling them about how to get around paying. I see strong clustering of the behaviour.

Then don't use it. Use BBC weather. The sense of entitlement is insufferable.

For many users it's just not true. I run a subscription weather forecast service for pilots, with a free trial period. A significant number of users reset their device every week to avoid paying 10 euros a month. These are aircraft ow

I just do not understand how Azure has the scale it does. You only need to login and click around for a bit to see this is not a coherent system designed by competent people. Let alone try and actually build something on it. Who are the c

Shocking how far ahead Claude Code is from Codex on the CLI front.

I used to hate Golang for not having generics and how verbose getting basic things done was. Then I read posts like this and realise, my god, Rob Pike was so, so right. Do these people ever ship anything? Or is it just endless rearranging o

If they're smart they'll have multiple accounts with bets each way netting to ~0 on all kinds of topics, and just omit the losing trade on the information they actually have.

Visited Fiji and stayed in the "locals" area rather than in one of the tourist resorts. Everywhere I went, would get stopped by locals and asked how my day was going, where I was going, what I was up to. Shamefully my tourist-shie

Never figured out how to get the buildx cache to actually work reliably on ARM OS X. Horrible if you have to build x86 images regularly.

Good luck getting ECMWF ensemble data for free.

That cost makes absolutely no sense. It takes one single day for a couple of people to install solar and batteries on a residential house.

Your expectations are wild. Most software engineers could not write a game boy emulator - and now you need zero programming skills whatsoever to write one.

I also wonder this - my best theory is getting institutional buy-in from all corners will help with the regulation going forward.

Definitely not in anything like realtime, maybe an archive. There's a licence fee of 8000EUR/yr to access real-time EUMETSAT data. Welcome to Europe, where you pay for everything twice.

I love the simplicity of the System 1/2 breakdown - but is there any actual evidence behind it? It seems like such a classic pop-psychology observational deduction of how something might work with no science to prove it.

I do not understand your argument We also cannot get right predicting the failures of fossil fuel generation. Sometimes multiple plants have outages that coincide and we have blackouts. Shit happens, and will continue to happen. Meanwhile w

No Atlassian products are included in the ban. I think you have seen a joke.

Why can't we predict how big or how often those events would be? We have clear understandings of the distribution of probabilities for all kinds of weather scenarios - see for example 1-50/100/1000 year flood/droughts.
