If it was a universally better financial decision to not buy a home, then who would you rent a home from? Someone who made a bad financial decision? If this was the case, then there would be more and more renters, and less and less tenants,

You bought your house in 2010, if today in 2024 you had no house and had to buy one, could you? Haven't the mortgages and house prices increased a lot more than most salaries even in the remote countryside? (Just like the article says)

If I was a malware distributor, I'd just throw a couple random bytes at the end each time I upload a malicious file, it'd still work and have a different checksum/hash.

In a 100m sprint, running fast does not matter, it's crossing the line very early that is.

Half of the blocks should be replaced by parking lots to make it more realistic. Then remove all but one pedestrian crossing per road.

Is that true or just hyperbole? On what system? I love working towards making systems as efficient as possible, but in real life, engineer hours are limited and compromises exist. Also, if this is quantitative, we could make the same argume

That's right, but we have to remember it's not really useful to optimize for binary size or RAM usage for a software that does not need multiple instances on servers, it's an end user app that you only need one of. I think Ja

I feel that way too, though in some cases I'd love to be able to summon this on-demand, make the suggestion appear on alt-enter or other context menus. Then I could either accept the suggestion, keep typing the line, continuing to proc

In theory, if AI was really crazy good, which I don't think will happen anytime soon or at all, it would be able to let you play the game, without any code being written other than the AI. Describe your game, connect inputs, and the mo

Old Androids and other systems where you don't get to update your root CAs mean that you can never add new CAs because too few devices trust them, or enfore new TLS versions because you have to assume that too many people use very old

Assuming there's a vaccuum between the screen and your eyes (perfectly spherical), of course. Otherwise, its gets very interesting and very very complicated. :)

My router is skynet, my old Proxmox hypervisor was deathstar and a VM in it was stormtrooper, the Debian baremetal that replaced both is xwing, and my gaming desktop PC is themachine (from Person of Interest).

I've set it up this way: I've told Claude that whenever he doesn't know how to answer, he can ask ChatGPT instead. I've set up ChatGPT the same way, he can ask Claude if needed. Now they always find an answer. Problem so

Yes, it's also a difference in values and culture, we are fools to think that Azerbaidjan would desperately need expensive weapons in their recent conflict against Armenia, when in reality they'd always prefer a dozen saffron tea

What if over 80% of all open source projects are secretly sleeper agents for various malicious actors, states, terrorists and whatnot, and they pretend to give use precious software updates for free so they can attack later? What if proprie

I was talking about cow eggs specifically! When ChatGPT et al got out, one of the funniest things to do was ask it about the best recipes for cow egg omelette or camel egg salad, and the LLM would provide. Sadly, most of it got patched some

I asked ChatGPT for some dataviz task (I barely ever do dataviz myself) and it recommended some nice Python libraries to use, some I had already heard of and some I hadn't, and provided the code. I'm grateful because I thought cod

I like the general idea, but it depends. Sometimes these bash scripts are used in lots of contexts, local dev, CI pipelines, Docker build steps... good luck running Java or Rust in the last two. Even if you get it to work, good luck debuggi

That's good to know. I heard Australia had the worst CO2 emissions per capita of the world in 2009, so even if PFAS air pollution isn't about CO2, there are correllations so it's wierd to see it both in the best and worst (of
