Yeah, that completely invalidates his point. I looked at a couple random agentic sessions in my openrouter activity, and the input cost is 10x the output cost. Prompt caching on openrouter is complicated and unreliable. On local hardware wi

I'd like to point out that Qonto is a business bank. Not open to consumers. They also have a list of prohibited activities: ( https://legal.qonto.com/en#template-uoa8xux5p ) which, funnily enough, include "Hunting

The guy has a "Conspiracy theory and disinformation" section in his wikipedia page, that mentions 9/11. Come on. That's your "totally not pro-russia" example ?

In 2015, systemd was a giant, immature and complex galaxy of tools, that came to replace a hacky-but-mostly-stable bunch of shell scripts. It was pushed fast. It came with good ideas and innovations. It also came with security issues, bugs,

Youtube premium is still ad-free. There is a Youtube premium lite which is kinda-ad-free-but-not-really, but the full ad-free one still exists.

It depends how it is done. I used to think the same way, and I would never hire someone without having seen them program live. But having experienced leetcode-style interviews on the candidate side, it's clear to me that they are no lo

I blame everyone else and myself equally. But I'll stop whining about politics when I'll stop witnessing well-behaved but incompetent people turn projects to failures.

In France last summer, some plants had indeed to be shut down because of the drought but: * a minority of plants were involved, it was only an issue because it happened on top of other issues (planned maintenances delayed due to covid, corr

At scale, you would need to factor in the durability of the media. [0] suggests that some types of bluray disks can last 20 to 50 years. Hard drives typically struggle to last 10 years. So if you need to replace hard drives 5x more than blu

The resistance is already there, it's already happening. Car owners in Paris are furious, and bike infrastructure is already taking away space from roads. High traffic roads in the center have been downright closed and made bike-only.

At every single org I've been where Datadog has been considered, the conclusion has been "Yes, it would be cool, but we really can't justify the price." Yes, in theory, in the middle scale, you should outsource things, b

It is not an inconsequential oversight. Most people will at least have sessions open to internal/private systems, sometimes sensitive credentials. And part of the teams will go see clients with their company laptops. You absolutely d

The number-based scheme is a leftover from old times. I don't think they are actually used for ordering how the migrations are applied anymore. The migration file will contain explicit dependency information, something like: depend

The use case is different. For the price of a cloud instance, on top of the instance itself, you are paying for: * availability. On AWS, you can start a couple dozens or hundreds of instances on demand, for a limited time. You are paying

I used the exact same stack (gitolite+cgit) in the early stages of a previous startup, and code reviews were the big missing part that made us move to something more full featured (for us, gitlab). It's pretty easy to trigger ci runs v

An interesting consequence of your last question, is that if Google added .dev and .foo to the HSTS preload list, it means they don't intend to make these domains available for public registration at all. If they did let people registe

You're right, there is a difference. I meant equivalent from the point of view of the user who wants to run tests, not on the way they work internally.

That's what Xvfb is for. "xvfb-run firefox" and "firefox -headless" should be functionally equivalent. But I would still be interested in performance comparison with numbers.

The old school solutions lack any sort of javascript support (per the docs, htmldoc doesn't even support css), so they wouldn't work for a lot of real world websites. That's not really the same use case. A better comparison w

Yeah. Comparing the legal issues that Facebook faces to the legal issues that Uber faces is complete nonsense.

It obviously depends on what work there is to do. In most of what I do, I work alone, with little need for cooperation, working through the backlog of tickets to implement. And the same goes for my coworkers. So I don't know why the mo

What he's saying, is pretty much that he doesn't want to work for people that think like you. And it's okay. Not everyone can be a good fit for every company.

It's already the case most of the time. If you submit via a plain form (without js), you get the (old) "This page is encrypted, but the information you submitted will be sent unencrypted" message. If you submit via an XMLHttp

Not the author of the code, but personally, I don't see any downside to putting "set -eu" at the beginning of every script I write. These should be defaults.

A note on concourse deployment: their docs recommend bosh deployments, but they also provide standalone binaries [0] and the deployment workflow in this case is extremely simple. Run "concourse web" for the UI, "concourse wor

Yeah, but you still have to parse the .obj. What the article is doing is .obj -> .json -> WebGL arrays. There isn't really any reason to put the .json intermediary in the middle. Especially since you will only treat it as a black
