Is it not also reliant on an affluent customer base that can pay high prices for services? In poorer communities are trade jobs lucrative? Obviously in places like the Bay Area they are VERY lucrative, but is that a sustainable narrative to

I've always used the analogy of 90's Wall Street to explain the Tech industry behind the curtains. Our 2008 moment will be when society realizes AI is nothing but a tool for wealth transfer from what remains in the middle class to

In a 1:1 format this would be effective in preventing some forms of misuse because it would be obvious if an individual took out their phone and pointed it towards the screen.

Big fan of Gemini 2.5 + Cursor but its far from a panacea. After using Cursor heavily the past few weeks I agree with the authors points. The ability to work outside of Cursor/AI is paramount within small software teams because you wil

The sovereignty of independent agencies is HEAVILY in question at the moment. Consider arguably the MOST independent agency (the FED) and how recent threats, while perhaps not DIRECTLY influencing policy potentially introduced bias or coerc

Their counter argument will be "the privacy of the people we interact with" i.e. a SWAT team storming a house when a young child is in the bathroom.

If Apple penalized apps for having many users that would be cataclysmic to their platform, though I image they'd work out sweetheart deals with Facebook etc.

While we bicker this inane question a much vaster sum is being transferred to the ultra wealthy from the public coffers. Penny Rich Dollar Poor.

Cool project, I read through the code and it seemed thoughtful and well laid out. To make this more accessible you'd need to offer a managed version on a cheap vm, at which point you're also managing the overhead of a VM, authenti

I've been very happy with VSCode + Gemini 2.5 (a recentish integration). I will re-evaluate Cursor again but I can't imagine they're going to be able to beat Microsoft to the punch.

California just became the 4th largest economy largely due to tech, and currently ranks 42nd among states in terms of job growth in Q1 2025. The Pop won't be a collapse of capital it'll be in continued decline for the 95% as tech

If DOGE can storm into government offices and get root access to sensitive system without proper procedure, couldn't SECDEF and co. strong arm their way past the IT worker managing the MDM?

Yeah but spend your whole life malnourished and march 20 miles THEN do the reps (as peasant archers probably had to do).

Is it me or are observability stacks kind of ridiculous. Logs, metrics, and traces, each with their own databases, sidecars, visualization stacks. Language-specific integration libraries written by whoever felt like it. MASSIVE cloud bills.

It’s not a good database for many storage workloads because it only allows a single process to write to it. For example you wouldn’t want 20 app servers writing their logs or metrics or traces to a single duck db instance. You would instead

I've been researching DuckDB - while it has many technical merits I think the main argument will be ease of use. It has a lot of the operational advantages of sqlite paired with strong extensibility and good succinct documentation. Fol

Bethesda knows support for the official remake would go down the toilet if they did anything but praise for the unofficial remake. Its hard to take Bethesda on good faith on this.

This is such an important comment. Fear of a prospective expectation , compliance, requirement, etc., even when that requirement does not actually exist is so prevalent in the personality types of software developers.

If the facts come out that the charge is flimsy or legally unsound AND protocol and precedent was breached, such as it being very atypical to haul a nonviolent offender (the judge) from a courthouse, would you change your mind? Will you fol

Its about the extra features iMessage has because of Apple's superset of the underlying SMS/MMS functionality. Its also about having a blue bubble (not-poor) versus a green bubble (poor). It defies belief how much some demographic

Independent social media run in a cost-effective way and actually helping their community is the future. I really hope non-American devs learn this because most American devs are too busy trying to get rich.

Missing ingredient: endless greed. Social media is just fine. Trillion dollar ad conglomerate staffing menlo park software engineers making 500k/yr? That requires enshittification.
