An anecdote: for a while now I've noticed or imagined Claude Code becoming ever so slightly dumber around 3-4pm CEST, I've been calling it the "Americans are awake" syndrome, because of assumed higher usage while keeping

I'd be more concerned about confusing it with https://github.com/sindresorhus/got , which is well-established (15k stars on GitHub is nothing to sneeze at).

Our life has become so dumb in certain ways. There are people who invested heavily in learning their mother or a foreign language, its spelling, grammar, syntax and idiosyncrasies, like when to use an em-dash, an Oxford comma, a semicolon,

The problem is that US is actively exporting all the plagues they call their own worldwide, so that tipping (the mandatory-on-the-card-terminal kind) is currently actively infecting Europe. Which you could have gathered by reading this very

It's not the tipping culture that's invading Germany, it's the "begging for tips" culture. The worst kind. You buy a piece of bread at the bakery over the counter, pay with card, the card reader is begging for tips.

An especially egregious case I've encountered was at Berlin train station. Normally in Germany, you've got those distinct card terminals with a display where you see your total before paying. Some of those have started nagging you

While it's an excellent way to make more money in the moment, I think this might become a standard no-extra-cost feature in several months (see Opus becoming way cheaper and a default model within months). Mental load management while

Watching from the other side of the pond as well and what Alec tries to get people to do is pretty sad because there is misnomer between action and reaction. While people correctly observe how the one side dismantles institutions and the ve

The last 20 minutes or so are probably the reason this is being posted. I must admit, I haven't expected the otherwise snarky but not nearly malicious Alec to be pissed beyond recognition, but it's very clear why and how this came

For literally decades we've hoped that Linux will get like Windows in some crucial areas like sleep and hibernations support for laptops, supported first-party drivers, correct and reliable multi-monitor setups, games, etc. Never ever

And within those countries in only a handful of banks. We've been here before, but as of right now, I'd give it a better chance than I'd have given just four months ago.

What he describes as bad about feature flags is exactly the reason I want them. In most cases, the timetable to put something online does not need to correlate with deployments or releases. So as a developer, I happily outsource that decisi

Whoever thinks that VSCode does not have any learning curve or is somehow magically easy, needs to take a reality check, that thing is overwhelming with all its popups, hovers, sidebars etc. beyond all reason when you first run it (and late

Nginx annotations is not something we want to keep though and there is rarely such a thing as a seamless drop-in replacement. Every change needs to be intensively tested and nobody in their right mind would replace an ingress controller by

I stand corrected. Had a feeling it's dead when I looked into the GitHub repository a couple of weeks back.

Ingress as defined by Kubernetes is really restricted if you need to do rewriting, redirecting and basically all the stuff we've been doing in pre-Kubernetes times. Nginx Ingress Controller worked around that by supporting a ton of ann

If I remember correctly, the localized versions were incompatible among different languages until about Office 2000 when the localizations became aliases. Until then it was good luck with your German .xls file on a French computer.

Haven't done anything with memory so far, but I'm extremely sceptical. While a functional memory could be essential for e.g. more complex coding sessions with Claude Code, I don't want everything to contribute to it, in the

What pisses me off is that they've said (in Germany) that they are trying to avoid monopolies and the rights need to go to multiple rights owners. Instead of giving the same rights to multiple broadcasters as would be normal for real n

You won't get a season ticket for most clubs in your lifetime, the queues are enormous, so the price point really doesn't matter.
