Superb mini essay, BS philosophy... I'ts not that there's so much in between these two extremes, but that model we need is completely outside of it.

We desperately look for ways to force ourselves to stay focused. What that tells me is that we don't like our jobs. What it shows is that our work culture is toxic. The job should be interesting and even exciting enough that staying fo

Looking out the window with hot mug of latte in hand while mild melody plays in background. Sounds like focused, not distracted :)

I think LLMs are the great filter of software engineers. They can do a lot reasonable well, but they lack the ability to be an overarching architect of complex projects (and it's my conviction that they can never achieve that). Only th

Source Hut has been around for 6-7-ish years ( https://sr.ht ). A rather different approach to Git, closer to its original intentions. No PRs in the classical sense, just email patches (that's how the Linux kernel is develope

This is so awesome! Every city and town should follow suite. Then live TV, streaming and internet platforms. No forced advertisements at all, the entire industry should move into an on-demand model. Do you know why? BECAUSE NOBODY F***G WAN

What made you think we'd ever need AI tokens as much as we do bandwidth, or that they are even comparable. Bandwidth is abstract, it's information flow. LLMs are a specialised tool, they are based on noise and randomness, and thus

The world has enough of everything in abundance to create a global civilisation without any major problems. There's only one problem standing in the way: we can't regulate ourselves. We can't achieve equal distribution of res

Dude must have misplaced his pills... That has always been Linux. Period. Windows is the trusted platform for unwarranted data collection and unwanted ads. Undeniably. Also, for people who never knew anything else, and so haven't grown

Maybe don't monetise the demo video because I will watch exactly zero adverts in order to get closer to your product, thanks!

Awesome! I accumulated 9 shames in the last 2 years working on a medium sized TypeScript project. I tried your tool which encouraged me to take another look at them, and now I have 0 shames.

Is that developer right to also dislike you for wanting master? Where does that lead? Conventions aren't based on feelings, and you should have none towards them. Everything has a reason, and reasons can be compared and weighed. Main i

What do you expect to achieve as a business? Assuming you live in a country with fractional reserve banking, free market and "wild west" capitalism, your options are dire. Be selfish, ruthless, lack all empathy, be corrupt, cheat

Looks neat, could be the keyboard that makes me try / switch to split design, unless... Did you release it without an option for ISO layout, and you thought that was OK? Not for Europe...

It's a message from aliens. In a nutshell, it says that all efforts to keep humanity alive are futile, and good luck for our self destruction. They say it's not entirely but mostly because of Windows. If you look carefully, there

Accept all cookies or pay $5 a month, and even if I pay up, you will still show ads, really, Guardian? This must be the new low of enshittification. Wouldn't read your crap if you paid me $5 a month...

8GB RAM? Lol. Apple thinks we're in 2010. But in a world where RAM is $200+ per GB, nothing surprises you any more. Tim Cook, when you are in hell and burn in the fire of greed, I'll be there to rip your heart out, and feed it to

It should be rather disappointing that when I enter the 11th working hour of the day, the KeyCloak session expires anyway. Who wants to always work less than 10 hours?

The problem with AI is that it's not intelligent but we desperately want it to be Super AGI, so we can stay dumb. AI will be a great everyday concept seamlessly integrating into our societies once we start using it right. Currently, it

Great idea with lots of use cases, but overpriced and seems excessively greedy. No demo account? No free trial? Not event signup without committing to a recurring sub? 25 VMs for $20/mo as a minimum? How about 2 VMs for $2 with free t

This sentence suggests that one couldn't have dropped the www back in the "early web days", which is BS. Having it or not bears no significance whatsoever, now or then. It was a marketing BS, no one remembers, no one cares...

There are some questions, too. Can I track my boss if he can track me? Can I install a key-logger on the CFO's laptop? Why not? They just want to see where I am, and I just want to see what key they hit...

Nothing legal prevents them from trying but if you block the tracking then your not in the wrong, and if you prove they tracked you in your lunch break and after work, you might have a good chance at winning in court for invasion of privacy

It's so pathetic that people actually put up with this. There are so many ways to stop that tracking from working and no, your boss doesn't have the right to track you.

Microsoft again copies something from Apple, this time 20 years late. They should downgrade themselves to toy category instead of playing with power toys. The last thing they did well was computer mice.
