I don't have the same rosy memory of the history as you do. I remember very regularly having to wrestle with flash or java applets reinstalling and doing all kinds of voodoo I could to get sites to run, sites I used fine the day prior.

Maybe we come from different cultures and context is harder to grasp just in text so maybe for those reasons your response feels ruder than I hope it was intended to be. I am sorry for not being clear in my response but I didn't intend

I think it's because both sides are talking about different things. If you go in expecting it is good enough to make developers obsolete today(reasonable impression to get from the way a lot of people hype it) you would be disappointed

Idempotence is a semantically overloaded term in computer science where in functional programming it refers to the same concept as mathematical idempotence it refers to any function leading to the same state in multiple calls as the first.

Just adding for context that I use Gemini Ultra and across all models from Gemini 3.1 Pro to Claude Opus 4.6, I have never hit 429s as well as hitting model quota limits is incredibly rare and only happens if I am trying to run 3 projects a

The amount of goal post shifting is so amusing to see. Yes, sure this was probably not an "important" or a particularly "challenging" problem which had been open for a while. Sure, maybe it remained open because it didn&

I am working on something similar but with an AST for legal documents. So far, it seems promising but still rudimentary.

My memory of the recent history of the web isn't as cynical. I am not denying the perverse incentives involved but at least for Facebook & Instagram(maybe) we had the Graph API which was accessible and provided a decent amount of f

x86 Thinkpads is what I am gravitating towards as well. Regarding system76 I have heard really good things about their workstations but not about laptops. Have you used them? I recommend PopOS to anyone getting started with linux as the fir

I like Framework devices but yeah sadly haven't used one with battery life that works for me. I can get a bit more than 5hrs on macbook under Asahi fedora with my usual usage. Framework is so close to having it all though.

Will try to procure one for testing. It's a bit on the larger side for me though. How much battery life do you get on your average daily workload and what kind of workload is it? If you feel comfortable sharing. Agreed about macs feeli

I use chromium based browser and applications so don't get to enjoy the benefit of the power efficiency gains of safari sadly. Geat to know this about your experience with thinkpads. Due to your familiarity with multiple such devices w

It has been a while since I daily drove one but my old laptop used to have an nvidia hybrid setup and it was possible to get power management to work decently with it but that might have been me being lucky with the configuration. Thanks fo

I have tried multiple framework devices as a partner firm uses them. Good devices, want to support what they are doing but yeah battery life is really lacking for my use case.

Yes, it's just open weights however they do allow commercial use but with stipulations to do no harm, follow the law and not circumvent the guardrails in place. I would worry more about the revokable nature of it more than anything for

That seems to be the conclusion I have been avoiding to reach. With graviton and other arm based linux server machines being a good bulk of my work I hoped I wouldn't have to worry about multi architecture docker builds. Ah well. Any s

I have been on an M1 macbook pro since launch and while I love the hardware, easily my favourite device I have ever owned but MacOS has just always been the thing to be the faustian bargain coming from being a linux person. I spend a lot of

I spent years fussing about getting all of my APIs to fit the definition of REST and to do HATEAOS properly. I spent way too much time trying to conform everything as an action on a resource. Now, don't get me wrong. It is quite helpfu

RPi is a good option if one has less RAM requirements especially if you take into account the quality of the drivers and software support in general. RPi can be a compelling option if you need lower power draw. It does take some effort to s

I am curious as to how are you envisioning such a platform be funded and operated? Is it government(which country? or a coalition?) funded and operated by an "independent" board. Or something more akin to Wikimedia Foundation wher

Everyone should obviously be able to make decisions for their own content on their own websites/blog and more power to you for exercising your agency and choice here. I browsed through your blog and with your content on vintage computi

Assistant was surprisingly useful. In a couple of occasions I had it find me research papers I didn't know existed for a problem I had been working on for long. However the realization for me was that I shouldn't neglect search ab

Agreed. It is a major annoyance and the primary reason I was exploring other options. However, even though it is infuriating when google refuses to not respect my query, the number of such queries for me are limited and thus I can use Kagi(

My experience with Kagi was not as positive as everyone else's here. I didn't find the search results to be better and perhaps that's because I am used to google foo to extract decent results there. So I made Kagi my default

Well that's why we use CSS variables and any change would apply everywhere and also give us semantic information with naming like color-primary or color-surface.

Genuinely curious, how did Microsoft "shoved it down everybody's throats"? And weren't Jetbrains, Eclipse, Vim, Emacs dominant enough(especially Jetbrains) to have done so before Microsoft?
