I sort phones by size and weight and I pick the smallest and lightest. No Apple devices, but that's my thing. I consider acceptable a price of about 100 Euro per year of security updates. I prefer 300 Euro and 3 years to 600 and 6 year

WhatsApp and Telegram are my slow social media. They ring only for the very few people I really care about. Everything else accumulates in their chats. I get some link to FB and TikTok in my chats and groups but I don't open all of the

That's what happened once with PCs in the 80s/90s and then again with the web in the 90s/2000s. The number of developers went up. Maybe the number of developers on the previous technology went down, but I'm not sure abou

Let's see. I can cache the information that example.com is valid up to May 31 2026, but then how do I know that it gets revoked on any day before that date? And if I cache the information that it is revoked, how do I know that it'

This. Maybe we could call a method of the JIT (it must be exposed) and tell it that we won't use some features of Ruby, globally or inside that scope. That would let it skip some checks. Of course calling that method takes time so it s

Let's model a shirt with a cylinder, and let's flat it in to rectangle. Some 50 cm x 100 cm could be OK for a quick estimate. It's 5000 cm, so 6.25 kW if we want to make it work fast. The OP wrote about 10 minutes. Let's

I'm still dual booting. Debian 11 to work and Debian 13 to finish setting up everything. With Debian 11, kernel 5.10.0-35-amd64 I was sure that I was using the NVIDIA driver 390 but I run dpkg -l before replying to you and I found out

I installed Debian 13 on my laptop from 2014. It's got an NVIDIA K1100M. The latest proprietary driver supporting it is 390 which is not supported by Debian 13. It was by Debian 11. I skipped 12. I run Nouveau and Wayland and everythin

A data point: I watch highlights of sport events, videos that explain how to do things, some music videos (rarely.) Those are only on YT at scale. The silly funny videos I see people looking at on TikTok all day long? Not interested.

All docs are local too, like we used to do with man pages and paper reference books or do you use another system for them? A second computer, a tablet, a phone?

We had static ads. We called them banners and websites abused them. Some sites were so bad that it was challenging to find content between horizontal and vertical banners. Animated GIFs followed soon and then everything else we know. Some s

Yes, because of human limits of time and of skills. I remember installing software in the early 90s: download the source code, read the README, find and download the dependencies, read their READMEs, repeat a few times. Sometimes one depend

All mainstream editors that agree to work on a standard AST for any given language could be nice. I'm not expecting that to happen at any time in future. About grep and diff working on a textual representation of the AST, it would be l

I think that I never saw somebody using Docker Desktop. I saw running containers with the command line everywhere, but I maybe I did not notice. No licenses for the command line tools, right?

I considered doing something like that but eventually I went for the simpler solution of plugging my little servers into smart plugs. I shut them down, then power off the plug over wifi. I start them by powering on the plugs. The plugs draw

Note that this is about source code, not binaries, or nobody would be working with docker (and more.) Of course a company must forbid copy/paste of GPL code, because that would GPL the codebase and that's hardly what they want. Bu

As a data point: when non technical friends of mine complain against password I tell them to use a password manager. The adoption rate is zero, probably because they don't even know what a password manager is, except the remember passw
