Isn't the metric that you've used "bugs per commit ~ per new line of code" going to miss the issue? All code is technical debt. If rsync releases used to have 500 lines changed and 5 bugs in and AI-powered rsync releases

The UK spends a lower fraction of its GDP on health than the US (the US is an outlier because of its system). The UK's NHS is not why it's not taking part in this mess.

Yes maths is singular, just like physics. We would say in the UK "maths is hard, physics is also hard"

It's the only social media I still use. I don't notice "disjointed communities" I just look at the posts from people I follow without knowing which server they are on. I'm aware you can see a list of posts on your l

I'm not a hardware tinkerer - but if there was a production version of this, I would buy it. But I guess I'm a niche market.

I made a Google calendar program for the Inkpad 6color eInk display. Because of the small number of displays I doubt there is anyone else using my code and that's ok. It's Arduino based and it turns out the iCal format has a lot m

It might be region specific (I'm in the UK) - but I don't "see" the new model anywhere e.g. if I go to: https://platform.openai.com/playground/chat?models=gpt-4o The model the page uses is set to gp

MQTT.org can't answer that as it's a web page for for a protocol. I've worked on platforms that do have a historian feature but it will vary from broker to broker. (disclosure, I work on Eclipse Amlen and it does not - but p

This comment seems backwards to me. If you're funnelling incoming messages in to hundreds of topics (or less) Kafka is a great "fat pipe" if you need millions (or tens of millions) of topics for IoT devices, MQTT is much more

Not really in the same way. The Standard Model is built out of quantum field theories that take as a given our experiment results that matter on quantum scales is unlike the "large scale" matter we see around us. The problems desc

I've not donated through Liberapay before but this prompted me to donate to k9-mail and in turn after poking around on Liberapay for a bit, I've set up small recurring donations to other OSS that I use (like GIMP).
