You are implying a centralized semi monopoly is the only way. If we had farmers to buyers direct distribution it would be much more resilient to this kind of problems.

I am sorry, but HN is probably the last place on Earth where you can wander off the mental plantation of single tech praiser people without much pushback. Perpetuating monocultural ideas and discouraging critical opinions is the way to crea

True. I would love to have less features in MacOS actually. We are approaching Windows start menu level of crap being installed by default.

My problem is that I do not want to replace one centralilzed service with another. I do not see any difference between the US and the EU (or Australia) in handling privacy. Most politicians are super keen on destroying privacy for people, f

Is it possible to have Hindley–Milner type system for a LISP?

True, however I only saw this happens to achieve max perf. I have very limited experience so this is confirmation bias from my end.

I see what you mean. You can use it with mise that has build support.

I have moved to uv few months back and never looked back. I use it with venv and it works very well. There is a new environment handling way with uv: - uv init new-py-env - cd new-py-env - uv add jupyter - uv build These are executed super

I thought that the point of Rust is to have safe {} blocks (implicit) as a default and unsafe {} when you need the absolute maximum performance available. You can audit those few lines of unsafe code very easily. With C everything is unsafe

The biggest problem what I have with using AI for software engineering is that it is absolutely amazing for generating the skeleton of your code, boilerplate really and it sucks for anything creative. I have tried to use the reasoning model

So I have this small form box (it is hardly bigger then few mobile phones stacked on each other) and I run Tailscale on it as well (also as an exit node). I installed Tailscale on my MBP and mobile phones as well. Now it is forming a networ

It is one of the tools I use as well and I pay for it. It makes life so much easier. At work we have to test a lot of country dependent settings and with TS and Mullvad is is very simple. I can also access my home network easily.

I am not saying it would negate evolution. I am saying origins of life could be extraterrestial and then life goes on a evolutionary process.

The evolution theory of origin of life just got a kick in the wrong spot? It is kind of weird how defensive is that crew. It is very much possible that life on Earth has extraterrestrial origins. I do not see why somebody would try to disca

Again, comparing apples to oranges. If 50 years we need to build a single nuclear plant while you have to build twice the solar capacity I doubt that solar come out cheaper.

Thanks a lot, this is a must read indeed.

In what timeframe? Solar panels last 20-25 years. Nuclear power plants last for 50+ years and use fraction of the space that solar. It is hard to believe that the TCO is lower. Usually people just looking at the price in the short term and
