Costco is popular in Japan as well. I also think about the bike infra[0] to Ikea in Netherlands— a similar store that may be more associated with car/suburban culture. [0]: https://youtu.be/CgvYgxo6UY8

Speaking of interesting SD card features-- it would be nice to have a way to have the sd card expire. Like if it doesn't get voltage for a duration of time: it self erases.

Sounds like the aforementioned rockstar dev may have found their way to comment and miss the point. When I was less self aware, I'd say similar things: my coworkers/manager can't accept that I write perfectly good code at a f

Still learning myself, but I've seen MCP tools just lightly wrap upstream json-body REST APIs. Works. But not only is the json structure more tokens but often the model just needs a small subset of fields in the payload.

My H1B coworker has paid $180k more in taxes than I have. We are the same age. He has fewer years working in USA than I have as a citizen. We calculated this by the data exposed by the mySocialSecurity website. I get to vote and he does not

Oh, I WISH that was the case but I'd estimate only 10% of SWE would fit your model of minimum competence... and yeah a lot of that 10% are browsing HN. I recall in 2016 asking coworkers why they voted trump. "My 401k" was a f

Yeah, it is an interesting bubble to be in. I worked with a company that could not keep up with the rising SWE salaries and thus attracted a different kind of SWE. I definitely felt the difference in education with the new hires. Reading co

Let us all reflect on AI with a core point this article is trying to make: that we build habits around a product. The industry goal is to have our dependency. What a fabulous position to be in where we can’t think or code without a subscrip

A tiresome sysadmin I've been talking to is under the impression of: "well, if <open-core-saas> stagnates or otherwise shifts focus away from our interests then someone will just fork it, duh!" .. when glancing thru

I’m interested to know the etymology and history of the term. Somehow I imagine an inked printing press as the “wet run.”

I have seen organizers get stuck in the dopamine loop of focusing on inspiring content that "increases engagement" and getting fixated on moderating trolls that it actually gets in the way of doing impactful work. I definitely on

I concur and "apolitical" is probably not the best word. I think it is an attempt to convey that the platform can't ban people. It is resistant from infrastructure censorship. Here is an example specific use case: https:&#x2

I agree. Except we aren't there with web literacy and having that integrated UX is significant.

Is there a spreadsheet out there benchmarking local LLM and hardware configs? I want to know if I should even bother with my coffeelake xeon server or if it is something to consider for my next gaming rig.

Thanks for shedding some light on this element of the story. I like to keep references like this when mustering support for action. What does bipartisan even mean? I've seen my state lose a republican congressperson who, while I disagr

thanks for the tip! At a glance, the SafeLine looks very opaque.. not clear why it starts up so many docker containers and how they are built. I can appreciate that bunkerweb illustrated its architecture a bit more with their docs and des

I'll have to check it out! The popular option for homelab or other indie scale is to just use the cloudflare's free-tier setup, which includes WAF, but I see a privacy hole where cloudflare needs to see your unencrypted HTTP traff

Looks nice! Something I'd want in front is some sort of basic app firewall like fail2ban or CrowdSec to ban vuln scanners and other intrusion attempts. It is a nice thing about Cloudflare since they provide some of this protection.

A lot of value to this wisdom. That said, individuals can have a different kind of brain and carrot/stick equation. For me, the only time I felt whole was when I was only working 20 hrs a week as a freelance dev and I took a lot of bre

Ya, I'm in a similar situation. I burn out every 1-2 years. This time I'm finding that I may be autistic/neurodivergent. The equation is very different for me and I have to start approaching it a bit differently what I look f

At least in my experience, while I am good at text/email communication: my co workers were not. I feel like being a full remote company crippled us in terms of engineering quality. We have more of a license to be left alone and that su

There is probably a segment of devs who "care" but lack the perception to understand how what they are doing may be problematic or counter-productive. Software is complicated and it's hard to avoid all the pitfalls. Not ever
