Likewise. I’ll regret it but I certainly won’t be complaining to the Internet that it did what I told it to (skip permission checks, etc.). It’s a feature, not a bug.

No doubt there’s a lesson in there, but I don’t think it’s a technical one.

Despite a couple forward-looking statements, I didn’t read this as a prediction. It seems more of a subjective/anecdotal assessment of where things are in December 2025. (Yes, with some conjecture about the implications for next year.)

JavaScript? HTML and HTTP were the real mistakes.

From that article: After taking his final photograph, Landsburg removed the roll of film from his camera and placed it in a canister. He buried the camera and the film canister deep in his backpack. Then, he placed the backpack on the seat

Many (I’d speculate most) workflows involve moving and referencing data across multiple applications. For example, read from a spreadsheet while writing a notion page, then send a link in Slack. If any one app is down, the task is blocked.

What do you think Cloudflare’s core business is? Because I think it’s two things: 1. DDoS protection 2. Plug n’ Play DNS and TLS (termination) Neither of those make sense for self-hosted. Edit: If it’s unclear, #2 doesn’t make sense because

I’m not sure I share this sentiment. First, let’s set aside the separate question of whether monopolies are bad. They are not good but that’s not the issue here. As to architecture: Cloudflare has had some outages recently. However, what’s

Seems like it would also result in capital investors covering more year-to-year tax revenue, which could reduce some pressure on other tax payers. In theory, capital gains should average out over time. But in practice, I think an increasing

The analogy conveys that QA is not inherently necessary to build and ship things that work. It also paints a picture of a scenario where requiring QA would be more of a red flag than a best practice. It seems a tad silly to imagine a woodwo

It’s possible for a woodworker to build a table which reliably does not collapse, even without having a third party test it. It’s equally possible for a different woodworker to build a table which will collapse when deployed in a customer’s

> Google says they charge $1.60 to $2.60 a mile That’s surprising. I’ve been trying to find data on rates and crowd-sourced data and anecdotes seem closer to $6/mile

This reminds me of the debate around Soylent when that came out. Are meals for enjoyment, flavour, and the experience or are they about consuming nutrients and providing energy? I’d say that debate was largely philosophical with proponents

Not exactly this but found a similar experience recently by throwing Linux lite on an 15-year-old thinkpad with a physical wifi switch. Was for my kid in this case. Loaded a few education-friendly games and then disabled the wifi. Now it’s

Rather than too sensitive, I think you’re making up AI signals. Poor writing (or, in this case, slightly less than perfect writing) is not a phenomenon to which humans are immune. If you like the idea of human-written content on the Interne

Hypothetically, how would someone know there was a warrant out for their arrest in another country? That doesn’t seem like public information. I figure most cyber criminals assume they are untraceable until they get arrested.

Everything I’ve seen suggests that Microsoft has entered the metaphorical private equity phase of investment in Windows. They’ve already given up any expectation of it being a viable competitor long-term and are purely focused on milking as

How does this work currently? I was under the impression that Docker for Mac already ran containers in an x86 VM. Probably outdated info, but I’m curious when that changed.

I had to skim through this a couple times before I realized that I still need to run an MCP server locally. This is basically a proxy between an LLM and the proposed protocol. It’s a nice proof of concept. And makes sense that the goal woul

There is a standard algorithm - CLDR collation. There are several options available but, generally speaking, it’s a standard. The specific option for numeric sorting is “kn”. As far as I can tell, every operating system and many other inter

I think that last line is getting to the point more than most of the discussion I see. The host of the show doesn’t really decide what he’s going to say. He reads the script the writers deliver (with his approval, I’m sure). He’s the talkin

To your second point, the average reader is not a scientist (wrt this topic, at least). Scientists equate proving with knowing. To the average reader, however, there is little correlation between what we know and what we’ve proved. The scie

I read it as assuming the deterministic checks and balances are already absent. We have the illusion of determinism but, in practice, audits (and justice) are mostly theatre as it is. From that perspective, lowering the quality of something

It depends on your usage patterns, presumably. In my case, I ended up accruing $100/day w/ Claude Code (on github workflows) so Max x20 was an easy decision. Pro seems targeted at a very different use case. Personally, I’ve never
