With a couple of exceptions, my guess is that these migrations are part of the commercial negotiation pack of government procurement agencies. At a certain point I’d expect that tech sovereignty concerns will tip while governments out of th

I see well-described bugs that have been backlogged for 4 years out into the hopper of a simple harness-based bug fixer - and a tested, ready for review fix pop out USD2.40 later. This is game-changing for us and our customers. I’m seeing q

Deliberative and hopefully self-stabilising. Real directional change happens over the span of a decade, not a few months. All arms of government (including non-kingship executive) brought to a rough consensus of choice and consequences.

I may have had an early version of this at home in Indonesia as a kid. Given how close we were to both sea level and the equator, the fact that the water was cool, even when site power failed for days, was bliss!

The Netherlands seems to be more or less similar, although I’ve had a mixed bag with medical knowledge an experience during emergency care: excellent to middling. When I lived for a while in the UK, my GP strongly suggested close monitoring

We’re now 50 years in on a personal computer revolution, and people on HN and elsewhere haven’t managed to escape industrial-style management thinking. If we can have billions of people organised - in their time away from formal work - into

Just to add to your “no big fight” observation: What in some countries is grad studies, is in other places undergrad, and in a personal high point, high school extension studies. In contemporary rich country education systems, it’s not just

WhatsApp and other over the top messaging and calling apps destroyed “the rivers of gold” that the telcos had in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Net neutrality was triggered by their attempts to block VOIP and messenger apps. I knew one tel

These days even without trying I get more nine than GitHub. Arguments against self hosting have to change as our SaaS overlords are decaying in front of our very eyes.

Really? Your rhetoric seems to miss a LOT of new global businesses, as well as older ones that are much bigger than ever before. Spotify, Wise, Adyen, DeepMind just off the top of my head, but there are loads more. The fact that you don’t k

I’m seeing a lot of similar things during code reviews of substantially LLM-produced codebases now. Half-baked bad idea that probably leaked from training sets.

You’ll get crickets. These people don’t want a state of citizens, they want a kingdom of serfs because they think they’ll make it into tiny aristo élite.

There were Eurobooks and they were pretty well bought out by Facebook. Hyves and so on. The online CV networks were bought by LinkedIn.

It’s not just the Internet. It’s politicians and businesspeople and more generally, shameless citizens. There’s a lot to dislike about shame as an enforcement mechanism but I’m starting to miss some of the upside it delivered.
