I read your reply as the scenario from GP is unlikely to happen in practice or has low impact. To me it seems you need to make frequent backups of "your" data to have a copy of it. Can i run multiple PDSes with my own single ident

True. i didn't mean "not terrible for employees" i meant "not terrible for company goals". Yes, these are intertwined, but assuming not everyone quits over introducing AI workflows it could make Microsoft a leader i

Well, what you describe is not terrible way to run things. Eat your own dogfood. To get better at it you need to start doing it.

I find these tools super awesome, but i never use them beyond trying them out once, because they don't usually come with coreutils or something like that. Haven't found a way to use these tools in a user-local way. For my own home

The value is in leadership, and being able to avoid certain classes of bugs from appearing in the first place. Troubleshooting just happens to be the skill that allows you to gain the knowledge to lead.

by linza 2y ago
It's even worse than that. Making troubleshooting skills a profession in itself makes reliability a property of a specific person or team and not a property of the system. The former doesn't scale.

I'd pay for news, even bad ones. I see it like a donation to the Red Cross or something. My experience and reasons for not paying anymore are similar. Used to pay for The Guardian for some time, but when they started pestering me about

Can you name a few LLM-based features in browsers that users find useful?

I found I'm ok with the divide. Both can coexist and in our case it works. I manage people and anecdotally I see engineers having collectively more output if they are in the office, and they do grow in seniority on average. The remote

Are you asking because you have the power to implement some of the missing features, or because you will tell me I don't actually need what i think i want. 1) i never could get password/autofill syncing between several devices wor

You want to censor me because i have a different opinion than yours? I assume you have good intentions and want to advocate for Firefox and have it have wider adoption. I want the same thing, but it's imo not enough that Chrome gets sh

by linza 3y ago
I recently switched to Firefox and the main blockers for staying on it were a bad experience with syncing of passwords and such a across devices, the UI (i found a nice fix but it's tedious to setup), and no app-mode.

by linza 3y ago
It's very subjective, but I won't try switching again before certain things I value in Chrome are available or work similar well on Firefox. You can switch based on ideology alone but I want convenience more than that.
15.
by linza 3y ago
You still need a tangible reason for switching. Maybe we can push, but Firefox would need to sustain the momentum and I don't see them doing it. My pet peeves: sync and app mode. I don't want to switch at the moment, tried many ti

I feel the same. However, how much of this is actually one being faster/slower than the other, and how much is really just subjectiveness one could train away. And now: how much of this is due to deliberate sabotage.

I tried kagi with the free trial offer and liked it a lot. However, i was not converted to a paying customer. I don't actually really know why. There is nothing technically that makes me hesitate. When my trial was over, and I stared a

I think this is a very valuable comment, and the replies don't do it justice. I strongly agree from my own and my peers experience with the sentiment that latency from zero to running code is just higher in Rust than Python or Go. Obvi

You probably just killed this "feature" since kagi employees are monitoring this forum :)

The incentive for the company is also different depending if they sell subscriptions or credits/usage. Kagi doesn't have competition in the paid search so space so they shouldn't need to go the subscription route yet as a dif

You are just describing a junior position (more or less). Do you understand the business and can contribute to it? As SRE you can help save cost in production (harder to make money directly by building products or features). That's a w

Your main point was about salary negotiation (and I don't know much about that) but your example about interviewing is interesting to me: > I spent a full day interview [...] and yet I thanked every single interviewer for their tim

Maybe it's too polarizing as GP phrased it, but my anecdotal experience with two of the items you mentioned is wait and see, and having some early investment to not miss anything. C++ is still the safer bet, esp if you factor in the lo

> There is no one orchestrating this. Very true, and the reason why it's important to spell this out explicitly is because any solution that hinges on identifying and blaming a single or few orchestrators is dead on arrival.

I probably misunderstand your point, but if your point is that a given journalist can never be reliable then I agree, but that is also not the idea perhaps. We cannot hope to have only unbiased views, we can only average them out by consumi

I think a lot has to do with provenance. For journalists this is their day job, they post with their real name and usually under some larger entities name. They are perhaps as biased as everyone else, but it's easier to figure out the

As an example: https://ibb.co/Wynn5Tg Subjectively(!) Firefox is cluttered and takes much more space than Chrome for itself. Unfocused tabs are hard for me to make out on Firefox. I think that personally I'm a lost cau

I find that condescending but I'm sure you didn't mean it that way and had good intentions asking that. The problems I experienced that can be fixed in Firefox itself probably already got fixed. My (personal) problem with Firefox
