I mean I used Copilot / JetBrains etc. to work on my code base but for large scale changes it did so much damage that it took me days to fix it and actually slowed me down. These systems are just like juniors in their capabilities, act

It’s even less usually, they reimburse you if they have a surplus, I think I pad around 1.500 € normally.

That’s basically the plot of Stardew Valley. Programmers yearn for the fields.

I guess. MBP is in the same ball park, it uses around 5-8 W when idle with the screen on, it’s just that the 16’’ model has a 100 Wh battery so naturally it lasts longer. On Windows the Lenovo apparently lasts as long as a MacBook but I use

I have the MBP M4 Max with 48 GB and 2 TB drive, which is around 5.500 € here. That’s what I compare it to, it has around 40.000 points on Geekbench, the X9 around 20.000 and it was around 2.000 €. Not sure how the other M4 compare. And sur

Lenovo X9 Aura is pretty great. 80 Wh battery which gives you 6-10 hours of usage, 15’’ 120 Hz 3k OLED screen, new 3 nm Intel CPUs. Only half as fast as my M4 but less than one third the price, with an upgradable SSD and a customer-replacea

Aren’t server actions a backend?

I was wondering when someone would write a type checker in Rust, seemed like an obvious thing to do given how slow mypy is.

Does anyone think they’re doing it on purpose to profit from short selling stocks? I mean they peddled two sh*tcoins right on Inauguration Day so it doesn’t seem too far fetched they would intentionally tank the stock market as well. It’s h

Yeah but it’s like using a EU vendor that hosts on AWS, if the US government wants the data they’ll just subpoena AWS instead of the EU provider. I get that it’s better but anything hosted on US soil is under jurisdiction of the US governme

Though that makes little sense in the context of a CDN. I think Bunny uses US providers like Zenlayer for their egress there, so they’re just a middle man in my understanding. I don’t think there’s any EU provider that runs their own CDN ha

Hundreds of milliseconds though? Seems highly doubtful, Cloudflare has latency in the range of 10-20 ms for most metropolitan areas, that they would that ten times that much for returning a blog post seems unlikely unless caching or other t

Their CPU is based on ARM IP, it’s not like they designed it from the ground up. The modem they might have had to? Also I guess a big challenge are all the patents you need to be aware of and find ways to license or circumvent, not sure if

The fact they do this is not very surprising, what I find surprising is the velocity of the change of sentiment in large parts of the tech industry. It seems a lot of people were fed up caring about these topics and feel safe to openly say

They simply realized reach is what you need to control, it doesn’t matter if you can write the most brilliant political content if no one will see it due to the distribution algorithm penalizing it while each single one of Musks mostly idio

I did not expect CEOs / industry titans to fall in line with the new regime so quickly, in the few weeks since Trumps election most tech leaders have completely changed their public stance on these topics. Why are they so afraid? Or ar

Those numbers seem quite exaggerated, I think since 2008 the US economy has grown around 40 percent, EU around 25? So definitely more growth but hardly a ratio of 2, or where do you get your numbers?

Hm I can think of several instances for each point where the ideas work just great. It’s just difficult getting complex stuff to work in general.

Best business model in the world, buy stuff in big bags, put it in smaller ones, sell at a multiple of the original price. Fly is mostly (to my knowledge) reselling Netactuate and OVH servers, their main innovation is the developer experien

Honestly so many things profit from generics, e.g. ORM code was very awkward before especially when returning slices of objects as everything was []any. Now you can say var users []User = orm.Get[User](…) as opposed to e.g var users []any =

Go with the UK unless you have a good reason not to as it will make follow up funding much easier.

I’m just back from the US and watching some TV there in the hotel it seems very much like they’re pushing it into the mainstream, they literally have a commercial where “fat” people congregate in the street to march together picking up Ozem

Yeah seems like 50-100 % administrative overhead for each employee, hard to believe that someone would accept that, you could probably pay each employee a personal valet for that.

It’s interesting how easy it is to get someone to announce your prefixes, it often just takes a credible letter of authority, in my understanding all processes rely on manual due diligence. If an organization e.g. has a valid RIPE database

I find it funny that by now Ignite, the tool mentioned in the thread has already been abandoned in favor of another project, Flintlock, which also seems pretty abandoned (only Dependabot activity). I guess most companies choose containers a

I use OpenVPN for historical reasons but today I’d go for Wireguard, much simpler, faster and integrated in the kernel, connectionless so much less friction when e.g. rebooting or changing networks.

I think it’s often called the “tracer bullet principle” as well. Get a full version of your system working quickly from end to end, then improve each part incrementally. Powerful stuff indeed, also for your motivation and sense of accomplis

I don’t get what you’re complaining about, federated learning for ads is a big step forward for privacy if it gets adopted, it will allow being way more strict with third parties on websites and other storage mechanisms.

British Airways lost my bag but found it again when I boarded my return flight, they paid all of the nice replacement clothes I bought during the trip. So I’m fine with them losing my luggage again!

Interesting question, actually I think building a computer out of vacuum tubes that would rival say an iPhone 15 seems impossible, the waste energy alone would be prohibitive. The Eniac used around 100 W per vacuum tube, for 10^13 tubes tha
