I felt that FCP was underpowered for compositing and grading so I switched from paid FPC to unpaid Resolve. But I don't really edit that much. Resolve is good enough for me for now.

One of the best things that happened to me is my boss giving me a crash course in advanced SQL at my first job. In the database we used at work, he gave me increasingly difficult questions to answer with queries. It was a great foundation a

The people doing the complaining are usually not the people doing real work in these tools. You can always find some loud voices somewhere.

Passkeys are not going to fix this. The only thing that will fix this is some kind of notarization backed identity that people can go to as a recourse. The EU Should force them to do this.

> the tooling is decades behind For all the academic interest the language has, it seems very few of those people want to do anything foundational to make the language more ergonomic and more relevant.

I'd expect political escalation for something like this but given that this is Germany, who knows.

Given how amateurish German IT operations is, there is no guarantee whatsoever there will be a post-mortem nor whether it then will make it out under 3-6 months with all the necessary approvals.

I've read more than my fair share of these tutorials, and I'd like to be proven wrong here but I don't think I've ever seen one that explains what the point of these functional constructs (similarly with Applicative etc.

It happens all the time. For a brief period I understood musical notation and rhythm and then it was gone. Similarly I had a time in my life where I knew by feeling whether a French noun was le or la.

I'm afraid that atproto will suffer from Bluesky's irrelevance. Not sure if that's a valid fear.

The entrenchment here is ridiculous. The average software engineer does not care at all about their vcs or their forge and their knowledge of both is extremely shallow. For the people who want to do their work and get on with their life, it

From Github to Gitlab? Out of the frying pan into the fire. It'd be nice if there was a good alternative for anybody working at scale.

The only good things at Meta are the things they bought (Whatsapp and Instagram). They haven't made anything original in a long long time.

Too much growth! (Or too many people going back to Twitter.)

This makes a lot of sense. We've seen how quickly and randomly Claude Code can sour on you (if it's even up). Nobody who uses this for work wants to be reliant on that.

A lot of blood in the water for Github.
