Haha, agreed. Like I alluded to in my post, many of the best things in my life have come from just being thrown into the deep end. If standing at the edge of a pool and ruminating over whether to jump or not, one may never do it. If the cho

Thank you for the perspective. This is a good way of framing the dilemma.

I wish there was a way to make this decision rationally. My wife and I are coming up to the point of no return. We either do it now, or never. Now let's try to figure this out: Do we have enough money? Yes, probably. We could survive 1

Two thoughts come to mind: First, looking at the data is always a good idea. Thank you for adding that information and correcting the record. Second, it may be counter-productive to label any criticisms of a person as [person] Derangement S

To report back on this, I contacted the various email addresses given in OP's article. For people with GDPR rights, this link helps make a DSAR (though interestingly the US and many other countries are also available from the country d

I can't edit my comment, but to the people responding here, thank you for adding all this information. It really helped elucidate why VRAM vs RAM is a distinction and also prevents my somewhat naive interpretation from being the only t

> spinning disks have been replaced by NVMe solid state drives with near-RAM I/O bandwidth Am I missing something here? Even Optane is an order of magnitude slower than RAM. Yes, under ideal conditions, SSDs can have very fast linea

How does this work for the myriad banks I've had to prove my identity to in the same way? I'll be attempting steps 1-4 and see what Persona comes back with.

I'm reasonably sure funding for the arts is globally as low as can be. If we applied the rule of "it has to be good to be worth it" and money is the main indicator for "good", then what about the myriad products and

Salient point, regarding the 'no' bit. I agree completely. But since I was responding to a likely troll, there wasn't much point elaborating further. Thanks for the added information :)

Things that can only be used by an exclusive elite don't tend to survive, unless we're talking super-yachts. AI is only going to work if enough people can actually meaningfully use it. Therefore, the monetisation model will have t

Valid point, but would be stronger if 'their' had been spelled correctly.

Ads, which are the sole reason for the attention-grabbing-at-all-costs society we find ourselves in, are, in my opinion, one of the greatest cancers to ever befall us.

If they'd protected their knowledge from AI crawlers before it was too late, they might stand a chance, but in this climate, they're just adding nails to their coffin.

Broadly, I agree with your sentiment. As soon as some people rule over others, given enough time, things creep towards total enslavement and disenfranchisement of the others. This has been proven over and over. The question then becomes, ho

The question is why we have to work 8h a day to begin with. Or why we don't earn more. If productivity goes up, something has to give. We either work less or we earn more. If productivity goes up and we work the same amount of time for

This is the 'ends justify the means' argument. No matter how ruthlessly power / money was accumulated by a person, the fact that they somehow did it, justifies it. It's undeniable that some progress happened thanks to El

For quite a while, I had to keep using flexbox instead of grids, because grids killed performance, funnily enough. That seems to have been rectified with modern browsers though, funnily enough.

The question is where this will lead and what, if anything will, should or can be done to put the brakes on this wealth (re-)distribution. It feels as though over the last few decades, all we have seen is a continuing trend of increasing am

It supports docker swarm, but I've never used it like that. As I may need multi node in the future, I was asking the question to see if it would make it 'easy' to orchestrate multiple containers. The simplicity of Dokku is

I've found Gemini 2.5 pro to handle it ok. It forgets small things like using the deprecated model instead of baseModel and things like that, but nothing dramatic.

The most substantial one is a local business directory. It's exactly the right level of medium complexity where Pocketbase shines. It's all the standard stuff: - User signups and auth - Stripe subscriptions using different subscri

Ah yes, the joy of maintaining open source software. I have seen many devs burn out over the requests made of them. I didn't know it was just one maintainer. That can both be a good thing for keeping the product focused, but it is also

I see Pocketbase, I upvote. Using it in a few production apps and it's been a very solid experience. Some breaking changes from time to time, but generally very solid. Also has a lot of extensibility built in. Sometimes you might hit a

There are so, so many frameworks that it can be overwhelming to find a good fit, but give htmx or svelte a try, they often come up as great ways to simplify JS. I'd steer clear of NextJS. Maybe even React, as they have become convolute

For all my criticisms of it, I built two commercial apps in it. I worked around the issues and it was fine. I've also built commercial apps in other stacks and they also have their warts. What I've noticed from the other stacks, h
