When you see .unwrap in Rust code, you know it smells bad. When you see x, _ := in Go code, you know it smells bad. > But if you don't know Go, it's just an underscore. And if you don't know rust, .unwrap is just a getter

If you think XML is a failed technology you haven't stepped foot anywhere near a serious enterprise company.

How much revenue have they generated? How about profit? If investors keep throwing obscene money at OpenAI, sure, they can stay afloat forever. Can't argue with that. But if we're talking about a sustainable business, I still don&

> Right now, my company identified an expensive software platform that was set to cost us around $250k/year. A single engineer assigned to maintain your in-house solution will cost more than this.

Because Amazon holds all the power and will certainly retaliate. At best such a case could end up in front of a Supreme Court 6-3 in Amazon's favor.

Firefox had mainstream adoption in the Firefox 2 era, before Chrome launched. What drew people to Chrome was that it was fast, efficient, and did I mention fast? Unfortunately all browsers today seem to have forgotten how important that is.

Because designing systems that work well is difficult. It takes years of experience to develop the muscle memory behind quality systems architecture. Writing the code is an implementation detail (albeit a large one).

That's actually kind of impressive.

Similar. Went from near 100% VOO down to 25%, with about 50% in SCHD and the remaining 25% sitting on cash, for now.

This is the conclusion I came to as well. Either make your own hardware, or drown paying premiums until you run out of money. For a while I was hopeful for some competition from AMD but that never panned out.

Codeberg was down for several hours over this past weekend. I want an alternative to GitHub as much as the next anti-big tech nerd, but let's not spread false narratives. Codeberg's uptime is probably a single nine right now, at b

If you want to create and maintain a community that's fine, maybe even great. TFA is just pointing out that the presence of an OSS license is not an implicit signal that the project is interested in any such community. They're sep

If your bot is actually capable of doing as your say, why waste time forking OSS repos? Why not instruct it to start 1000 new tech startups and start generating you tons of money? I can "think about" winning the lottery with just

This is a fantasy that virtually never comes to fruition. The vast majority of forks are dead within weeks when the forkers realize how much effort goes into building and maintaining the project, on top of starting with zero users.

Any module that is properly tagged and contains an OSS license gets stored in Google's module cache indefinitely. As long as it was go-get-ed once before, you can pull it again without going to GitHub (or any other VCS host).

Simply because latency is a competitive advantage, one worth paying for. At the speed of light, making a trip out to the desert and back is too slow.

I keep my TI-84 at my desk and reach for it maybe once a week. Usually for money reasons though, not so much for work stuff.

As someone who quit c++ over 15 years ago it's been comical to watch what this language has become.

In the U.S. I wouldn't expect meaningful regulation from an administration that accepts bribes in the form of literal gold nuggets.

I have... so many questions. Not the least of which is, why? I gave TikTok maybe 10 minutes of my time, once a year just to see what others are seeing. And each time, it was always meaningless junk. I'd uninstall the app after; it does

Nearly every default setting in sqlite is "wrong" from the outset, for typical use cases. I'm surprised packages that offer a sane configuration out of the box aren't more popular.

The thing i keep coming back to is that an LLM backed query is so, so much more expensive than a typical web request. What kind of advertising is going to align in the value necessary to cover those costs, plus margin? Chatbots aren't
