"Most favored nation" is to the Trump addled brain like sugar water to a bee. It sounds vaguely like "Go USA" while having nothing to do with the actual problem at hand. Just wait for those 400% 500% price reductions to

It's worse, they seem to think tech debt is just a "state of mind", a "personality defect": > The code was calcified because the developers were also. Personality types who dislike change tend not to design thei

That is the most absurd thing I've heard in 20 years. Chrome literally was launched on performance, for JS and beyond. The reality is that the insane "JS ecosystem" will rally around whatever is the latest hotness.

This is AI blog slop about someone submitting AI slop merge requests without reading any of it, instead expecting maintainers to do it. Quite the irony.

You can make a brainfuck runtime in less than a kilobyte and it can run any program known to man.

Where are all these Israeli accounts? That just seems to be your weird personal bias. Weird, because you can just confirm it for yourself now!

This is the bell curve meme, and you are in the middle telling us "template metaprogramming in C++ is amazing".

I don't get this gotcha. The license plate scanner associates a plate with a location and time, it doesn't care for who drives it. In a chase, you know the plate, you don't know the location. Seems perfect?

I mean in most other places people have simply realized that unless there is an immediate risk to life, the only thing high speed police chases do is create that very risk . Nicely contrasts with all the news about the omnipresent license

Thats because the security industry has been captured by useless middle manager types who can see that "one dependency has a critical vulnerability", but could never in their life scrounge together the clue to analyze the impact o

If only they removed roaming. Roaming charges are an absurdity since the internet exists and that is how mobile operators run their backend. They should be outlawed fully.

High-margin AI products? Yes the world is just filled with those!

I see the VSCode management has been firmly redirected to prioritize GitHubs failing and behind "AI Coding" competition entry. When that will predictably falter expect them to lose interest in the editor all together.

You are saying this would not have happened in a C release build where asserts define to nothing? Wonder why these old grey beards chose to go with that.

Headlight regulation obviously stopped making any sense at all when they allowed bigger cars to put them up higher. Like you are gonna regulate all kind of beam parameters and then miss the most important thing.

There is a reason US school buses look like WW2 troop transport and the long haul trucks are museum pieces in all aspects. It's not even NIH, it's just protectionism.

Sorry but I think you just don't know a lot about LLMs. Why did they start spamming code with emojis? It's not because that is what people actually do, something that is in the training data. It's because someone reinforcemen

Ironically there is precedent of Google caring more about this. When they realized location timeline was a gigantic fed honeypot, they made it per-device, locally stored only. No open letters were written in the process of.

They made the feature, now they get to live with it. So they can spare us the feigned surprise and outrage. Instead of writing open letters they could of course do something about it. Even Google stopped storing your location timeline on th

So you agree, it has no place or purpose when running on an actual device.

There are some good points around how limited the entropy available here is, but it entirely skips over who the fuck needs hotplug memory in the first place . That is a very niche feature that has no application in the vast majority of dev

Aaand 10 years later you just learned to compare versions by equality instead of being impossibly clever.

There is no free lunch, the same people that can't be bothered to make atomic semantic commits are the same people that will ruin your bisect with a commit that doesn't build or has some other unrelated run failure. People that do

Yes, the distro people are strong believers in virtual environments as best practice - for you, not them.

It is such a non problem it forced them to hack a „fuck you this Python is owned by the distribution not you“ message into pip requiring you to agree to „breaking your system“ to use it. Of all the languages, python in the base system has b

Isn't arXiv where you upload things before they have gone through the entire process? Isn't that the entire value, aside from some publisher cartel busting?

So they avoid billions of tax on nonprofit status, then magically get to keep it all when they are for-benefit? How about no, fuck you, dissolve?

All the READMEs these days are such a tell. It's okay when explicitly prompted, but now thanks to reinforcement learning through people who have no clue, all the models just top off every change with some pointless documentation change

You can't put 3 lines in a Dockerfile but will be "shopping for alternatives", "identifying the best option" and "get it rolled out"? Do you ever get anything done, "rather quickly"?
