Sounds like the whole car is designed to make walking away a serious crash as difficult as possible. So why do people keep buying them??

The windows could not be broken? A small nit: It's "burnt", not "burnend"

This is the absolute truth. And the worse news is: it will never change. There are several things fundamental to SWE, at least the corporate, open source, and/or indie flavors, that ensure it will not be standardized.

Wow, just goes to show how different people's perception can be. To me Gnome is ugly, I really tried to like it but just could not. Didn't work too well for me also, but no way I'd describe Gnome as nice looking. KDE has been

Why conflate boring with old? "Boring" in this context means: proven and stable. Yes, that would take some time to become apparent, but the converse is not necessarily the case: a tech does not become "boring" in a good

Exactly. I define a pair of DTOs for each virtual table: an input type (the shape of a record that can be inserted) and an output one (the shape of each record returned when you select from the virtual table, which might include generated,

One question about this: How do most internet plans work with this? If someone connects with a request, is that metered as ingress/downloading, and if your server responds, it is metered as an egress/uploading? If so, that means a

Indeed, CSS especially is the root of all web evil. When you understand how it break all kinds of known good software design patterns, and you've seen the Frankenstein monstrosities people build with it enough times, you'll be tem

You do not see all the problems externalized to society from this scooping up of resources from all over the world and the concentration of them and power in the hands of a few?? Even a billion dollars is a stupendous amount of money. What

Agreed, if you relax the requirement for perfect orthogonality, then, yes, you can pack in much more info. You basically introduced additional (fractional) dimensions clustered with the main dimensions. Put another way, many concepts are no

Interesting, I'm noticing this pattern too more and more. The classic case was of course stomach ulcers. Now cardiovascular. Wouldn't be surprised if at least some neuro-degnerative diseases are also possibly caused by infections

Listerine would make it worse for sure. Don't use "antiseptic" mouthwash; it kills beneficial bacteria in the mouth, causing bad bacteria to multiply. I have personal experience of this.

It's weird, but using Claude Code (CC) with GLM 4.5 from Z.ai, I spent $5 just starting CC and asking it to read the spec and guideline files. This on an API that advertises $0.6 per million tokens input, and $2.2 per million tokens ou

This. It's weird how most of the top tech companies are all morphing into amorphous blobs that want to get into everything and are indistinguishable from each other.

But all numbers are abstractions, there is nothing “real” (pun unintended) about any number, so it seems strange to me to judge certain numbers on whether they map to our physical reality.

Nope, anyone saying this does not understand fundamentally what software is. This so-called malleable software is a recipe for chaos.

Very interesting project! The Roman world really comes alive this this. A pet peeve of mine though (and a bit OT): I know it is not your fault, since this is inbuilt behavior, but I cannot for the life of me understand why almost all map wi

I get you somewhat, but remember, you do not have another consciousness to compare with your own; it could be that what others call an internal narrative is exactly what you are experiencing; it just that they choose to describe it differen
