"quit my FAANG job" as in they simultaneously worked in Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Nvidia and Google? Or did the op work at Netflix and is too ashamed to admit that :P

My macbook was UMA and memory compression has been used everywhere for dozens of years now. Symbian had memory compression. Is it just apple users catching up to what a snappy computer actually feels like…? (Doubt, since as I said I used Ap

> Linux is a shitshow when it gets OOM, it takes at least half an hour to get out of it, if it ever does. Windows is not much better. That's why you usually want a userspace early oom service. Most preconfigured distros ship one by

Two accounts, both lowercase four random letter names respond to me within two minutes time apart, what do I make of it? :P Either way, I find it hard to believe memory management would vary so much between those two CPU architectures on a

Source…? I see this claim thrown around so much without any backing and my experience with mac os (and other darwin variants) is just terrible. My previous portable was a 2015 mac book pro with 16 (!) gigs of ram (mind-blowing for 2026 stan

Luddites didn't protest against automation, but rather against inhumane working conditions in factories and smashing their machines just happened to be efficient at destroying profit. So in a way, you could say luddites acknowledge tec

> You could turn clothing descriptions into embeddings and have a fashion vector database Well, that assumes descriptions are extremely accurate down to the last seam, which is not true. You'd be better off considering reviews and p

Ah so what they meant was like a 'vibe coded' a scraper? I thought they meant something like turning descriptions/reviews/photos of clothes into embeddings, as in like sentiment classification but way beyond that? Becaus

Okay but then 'AI' is just a noise generator when it comes to very specific information… I mean just try asking any chat bot to search for something like specific photography gear for some specific scenario and in my experience it

by remix2000 5mo ago
You scrape sites, okay, but what's "ai" got to do with that (I assume ai means chat bots in this context?) I'm genuinely curious, whatever you're doing sounds cool, but more details beyond the buzzword pitch you&#x2

Or perhaps maybe rather free stuff is all too uncommon…

For me, some projects I start by writing a readme.txt by hand. That saves me time in cases I realize I'd be making something pointless. (I don't use chatbots when coding though)

I shall now drive my fart car back to my cozy meatcave from the public meatspace so that I can do some good old ape coding with my smelly carbon-based friends in peace.

Who isn't collecting biometric data using shady sites nowadays? Even Hetzner wanted to match my id with a selfie using some really shady site that almost certainly violates gdpr… What's next, will I have to send a stool sample to

ejabberd is so much easier to set up than prosody, especially containerized. I would highly recommend checking multiple servers out before settling on one tbh.

Oh I can't get enough those blog posts written in such confident language that it's easy to filter them out instead of having to realize midway reading how wrong every bold claim they put forward is… :þ

by remix2000 8mo ago
Ah, binary-only dependencies, right… That's very specific though, so unless you need to drive some proprietary hardware, why bother using stuff that forces you into MSVC hell lol? Also wouldn't LLVM based MinGW benefit from Clang&

by remix2000 8mo ago
I don't really use Windows OS much, but why not just use MinGW? Then you have Clang on all platforms you can think of: Android, all the various Darwin flavors and of course Linux and Windows; as well as on platforms you can't thin

But PID 0 on Linux is the idle task…? Init is (usually) PID 1, PID 0 kinda just means that nothing is running on a given CPU (with caveats), also killing 0 has special meaning because well it's not a real process…

by remix2000 8mo ago
"Tricycle – Car Without Engine" Honestly though, the argument against systemd is that it moves too much stuff into init, but I don't think it does enough of that, it's still extremely conservative, like, SD-DBus should

Yeah, also, isn't it already proven that offloading thinking onto chat bots causes some kind of irreversible brain damage/dementia? (also BTW "mediocre" is still not "acceptable" despite Slophauses trying to co

Ioctls are the single most complex example for API design, cause like, that's another opaque interface inside one opaque interface. Ioctls will be routed to the desired kernel module (driver) depending on the FD, after all. Basically a

by remix2000 9mo ago
Funny how you chose `ioctl` specifically to illustrate your point, when that's quite uniquely just a syscall inside a syscall… Ideally, high level library devs should abstract ioctl while treating libc as the stable userland kernel ABI

GenAI is only useful to bump terrible up to mediocre, so it'd be really stupid to spend time honing one's prompting skills. And as you noticed, so far 96% of the population agrees.

Mayhaps not with a `cat(1)` alone, but really they just need to expand their menagerie now.

Or perhaps they just won't certify your cat just as Apple won't start making Windows PCs…?

Of course symmetric or even carrier grade NAT is not a firewall, but it's so silly to ignore real world implications thereof in an IPv4 only deployment scenario. Firewalls aren't foolproof and in real life you average NAT is more

It doesn't really feel like those companies care about money anymore, to me at least it feels like we're in the middle of an ongoing total economic collapse and their actions seem to concur. Why else would they be stockpiling asse
