This is very personal. I don't particularly mind stutter. Input lag annoys me a lot, though.

27 is really bad when it's constant. I lived like this for long periods of time (top floor + evening sun) and it's exhausting. 25 is fine.

The government decides who is owed what material goods. This is known as property rights. The destruction in this case would be equivalent to transferring the ownership of some factories to the government, exchanging those factories for som

This is correct. Some widespread libraries leak memory, for example. I love Rust, but I don't think this happens much in Java land.

Those are two unusually competent countries when it comes to trains. Try Germany or the UK for a more average outcome.

I don't particularly care about LLM use per se, but when I see LLM text it makes me think I'm about to read something devoid of content - just word vomit. The equivalent of yesteryear's listicle. This instinct usually serves

If enough people believe this then it is true. That's just how markets work.

As long as no significant websites are IPv6-only qnd no significant user base is IPv6-only, why would anyone join IPv6? What proponents could do is make their websites IPv6-only. The IETF website, for instance, should be IPv6-only.

I don't know. Direct democracy seems to work well in Switzerland and badly in California. So direct democracy is clearly not bad per se. We know it can work.

Pijul? Git has issues, but it works pretty well once you learn it and it's basically universal. Will be hard to dislodge.

I've seen it be the concatenated individual git commit messages way too often. Just a full screen scroll of "my hands are writing letters" and "afkifrj". Still better than if we had those commits individually of cou

For real. Once I've opened Spotify, Slack, Teams, and a browser about 10GB of RAM is in use. I barely have any RAM left over for actual work.

Email and chat apps will work, but everything else will slow to a crawl at best and time out at worst.

It's unexpected. When trying to understand a system it's beneficial if it adheres to expectations, as it means we're not forced to consider the entire possibility space of what a program can be. Utilizing the entire possibili

Tbf a plug-in is just an EV that somehow runs on petrol 4 times a year. In practice the vast majority of driving is done on battery power.

Isn't the solution to a rare task being painful to make the task frequent? What if we required daily/weekly fiscal reporting? Would that even be feasible? I guess it would force complete automation, which might make it much more d

Betting on "it's me that has changed" has rarely been false throughout history. Humans have mostly been the same throughout the ages.

Some adults try a bit harder to live up to the ideals of being an adult than others. They are toddlers inside like anyone else, but there's a layer of restraint on top that evidently not everyone has.

Nothing can really save you from architecture astronauts, except possibly Go, but I hear there are people templating Go with preprocessors, so who knows. This is a human problem. On the other hand I hear you. The moment Rust gets proper asy

We're reaching levels of "move fast and break things" previously only thought possible under laboratory conditions. Seriously? They couldn't be bothered setting upload speed to 0?

How much of that is just because Rust UI libraries are not ready, though? It's never going to become Python, but it could become decent.

This will happen regardless. LLMs are already ingesting their own output. At the point where AI output becomes the majority of internet content, interesting things will happen. Presumably the AI companies will put lots of effort into findin

For the neobanks I think it's very easy to explain: Their customers need Visa or Mastercard. No Visa/Mastercard? No retail customers. It's as simple as that. Any other payment scheme is a bonus thing that can be put on the ba

I really hope we can get Wero cards at some point. I don't like my ability to pay for things to depend on my phone's battery.
