There’s a pretty big gap between “they’re killing everyone of my race” and “dang, electricity’s out again.” Are you saying it’s crappy to be white in South Africa even if you’re not a poor farmer?

Just to say: setting up oauth and telemetry are harder than building CRUD, because it comes later in the learning progression. But it’s still mostly just following a recipe; LLMs are good at finding recipes that are uncommon, but available

They already met with him and acknowledged the problem. So their lack of follow-up is an attempt to push things under the rug. Users deserve to know that their data was compromised. In some places of the world it is a crime to not report a

It always struct me as ironic that something that takes one or two weeks is called "sprinting". In competitive athletics you will not sprint more than 400m, because sprint is anaerobic. The fastest 400m ever run was 43.03 seconds.

It's not a lot when you consider what you get: Globally visible transaction permanence. When you pay the 1.5% visa transaction, you don't get that. And you don't need that for buying a coffee, or almost anything. Microtransac

It’s not free, you get pizzas! A recent boss mandated that people come on weekends. Everyone’s contract said you have to, except mine. I pointed out to the boss that even though he can ask people to work on weekends, there are laws that pre

I'm in this boat also. Being able to migrate at low cost (and in little time) should be a high priority for any software infrastructure with availability expectations. Especially with providers with very reasonable bandwidth costs (~€1

They inevitably are, because anyone who has a service subscription is doing this. Because doing every single thing in-house is a different, more extreme value. I'd love to be a $207k/mo. lunch lady.

I’m a Musk fanboy. I drive a Tesla. And I generally try to balance the online debate when suddenly it’s okay to scratch swastikas into private people’s property. But to be perfectly clear: I would never ride a Robotaxi, either. Musk definit

Mind blown. This is so simple. It’s like rlwrap, but generic. So you could reimplement rlwrap with this. I’ve been experimenting with schemesh recently. It’s a shell with ask control structures in scheme. Amazing, but a little immature stil

If scientific studies aren’t reproducible with the reported confidence, it fails as science. It would be worse if the experiments were not even falsifiable, yes. But it’s pretty damn bad when the conclusion of the original study can never b

Sleep works perfectly on my Lenovos, and it fails miserably on my custom gamer laptop. Supporting arbitrary hardware is hard for an open-source project. Sticking to solid brands with well-tested models has other benefits.

Feedback on personal assessment: “Do you experience sleep issues because of watching porn late at night?” You can either say “No, I have a healthy sleep schedule” or porn is causing the sleep problems to some degree. Seems a little narrow.
