I'm in favor of removing 32-bit dependencies from steam-the-application, except that you still need 32-bit libraries to run 32-bit games in Wine. Having steam depend on those libraries directly means that when you install you get all t

Part of the reason a Chinese invasion of Taiwan seems more realistic is Trump being a sycophant towards any dictator who will give him the time of day, including Xi Jinping. It's not impossible, but I feel as though if Trump decides th

A few years ago I decided I was going to get some fresh air by going and working on the (south-facing) deck. Put my phone and drink outside, went back to get my laptop, brought it outside. Outside was too bright for me to see my laptop scre

There are so many apps out there which take every shortcut they can to make it easier for developers regardless of the impact on users. On iOS, using things like react native instead of actually native code; on desktop systems, using Electr

The main argument against these fonts is that you are removing accessibility for humans permanently in exchange for removing accessibility for scrapers temporarily. It might raise the cost for some scrapers, to some degree, but it raises th

(I'm certain you know this already but I'm posting this for people who might want more context) Part of the problem that people don't really realize is that it's not practical to just 'link against old glibc'.

More importantly, openly shared public-weight models limits the scale of the success that closed-weight private AI services can manage. Eventually it'll become cheaper and easier to pay some AI data centre to use their capacity plus an

Don't worry, AI companies and the companies around them have ensured that so much of the US economy is tied into AI that they've become Too Big to Fail, so that when things eventually collapse the US government will give them tril

100% the US government would maintain that AI is the key to the success of the US economy over China, and that it can only happen as long as it's run by profiteering billionaires aiming to extract money from society at the fastest rate

My Windows 98 install got ten times faster when I went from 32 MB of RAM to 48 MB of RAM. A fresh boot of my Windows 98 install at the time, once everything was loaded and settled, used up 27 MB of RAM, meaning that after 5 MB of allocation

The way our Claude Codes are configured at work is pretty nice. There are directory patterns it can't access, like .local or .config, so when it needs to it creates a throwaway scratch pad and asks you to put stuff there; screenshots,
