Thanks for the article, very insightful! I’m researching dev + AI workflows to build something to improve them. In your view, what’s the right granularity for storing and reusing context: A long file with lots of context per project? A sma

Yeah, if it serves OP as consolation I've been in full time employment 9 yrs. Sick of 'socialising' and I'm building my own thing with 0 people to take with me. I need full agency, I'm done with death by thousand fe

Anybody knows the business reason for this feature to exist? most people here and in other places are incredibly frustrated with auto-translate and the inability to turn it off. I include myself in that bunch. There are two potential reason

Very impressed. As a programming impostor (never formally trained, and not working as programmer) I find the program 1) helped me to understand the basics of a full blown IDE dev cycle end to end 2) helped me to refine an app on the making.

I've been using LibreWolf as my daily driver for a couple of years. Highly recommended! Available for Windows, MacOS and Linux. Ranked as the highest for privacy protection in a 2022 study: https://www.ghacks.net/2022&

So many comments get caught on the wording 'deanonymization'. Is there a standardized definition of 'deanonymization' accross industry experts, privacy-conscious people and hackers? For many commenters, it looks like de

You're absolutely right it's dangerous. It's likely that I gave myself cancer by adopting this 'simplistic truth'. A decade ago I read about the keto diet and thought "why not?". Lots of positive stories a

Exactly... the whole point of the post is to elaborate on the problems of the modern internet (addiction, fakeness, shallowness...). It's not a subjective nostalgic rant but a good analysis of everything that's wrong with today&#x

I get what you're saying. It has character, that's for sure :) But have you tried to actually perform a task? Ie "I want to buy an animal-shaped robot". Your eyes don't have anchor points in such a chaotic layout,

Beautiful writing. It comes at an interesting time for me. I'm in a full blown mid-life crisis where my state of mind fluctuates between full contentment and wishing I was doing more with life. This article made me think. On the one ha

And we all know how things go from there. First, eID is implemented as "just another, more convenient way to log in to your online services". Then, private organizations get pressure to implement eID (through soft power or legisl

Thanks for your feedback. It's brave to judge a moral position as wrong, as that implies the judge is some sort of omniscient god :) Thinking more about it, in my case it's the number of people what would push me to take action. I

If I flip the switch, one man will die because of my actions. If I don't flip the switch, 5 people will die because of bad luck. I'm inclined to let destiny decide the outcome and save the one man. Am I alone here?

To me, it's your thinking that's unhinged. You seem blind to the reality we live in. In your country, Nigel Farage had his banking account cancelled because of having the wrong ideology. What you qualify as impossible is already h

I wouldn't blame the people who sold out. That team created a strong and delightful product. To me, blame goes to the people who took over and started to make bad decisions.

The way I see it, you have two routes: - Accept reality and the fact that this is a crude subject. Use psychological tools to feel less weird over time (ie get a lot of exposure to the stuff that you find unsettling). You might succeed, or

Good tip, but to offer a counter-point: I skip a lot of text when reading job descriptions because 99% of the time they are packed with marketing nonsense. It's so dull, meaningless and repetitive that it's sometimes comic. Ie toi

In the article, the sentiment from many people is: companies already own my data anyway, so at least I'm getting something this time". In other words, the malicious actions from data predators (FAANG et al.) and the negligence fro

The threat is so broad that giving examples is trivial. One that immediately comes to mind: Imagine science discovers that 99% of people with a certain feature in their iris is likely to develop colon cancer. The discovery leads to insuran

I know I'm in the minority, but I dislike the fact that they count me as a Windows user just because I bought a Dell laptop. First thing I did was to install Linux and ditch all the crapware that came with my machine.

No, I found an exception: cheesoisseur - that is, cheese appreciator. At least in my experience. From years 0 to 25 I kept my taste in cheese simple. Then, one day at 25 I went to a wedding and tasted a couple strong cheeses that carved a p

Thanks for the effort, this is a fantastic resource. I installed 5 RSS reader apps in my Linux Mint machine to test the OPML. 4 of them failed to import the file: Thunderbird, Lifera, Quitrss and another one I forgot the name. Gnome RSS di

Yes, and if you come from a place of true scarcity (country with 30% unemployment, and zero opportunities in your field) it's easy to ditch all your values for that one job that opens the door for you. Only when you're somehow est

I have the opposite view. No matter what individuals do, they won't turn the system around. Furthermore, a good % of consumption is B2B. There has to be a systemic ban on producing products that threaten the existence of life. Winning

Defeatism adds to the problem and it doesn't bring solutions. If we're already accepting that idiotic laws will pass, obviously they will. Let's call this what it is: a myopic and totalitarian law created by misinformed and

I really liked the story and the way it was told. I could sit there with the guys and experience their stress and panic. The point about sexism was unnecessary and detracting to the story. It's yet another sad sign of how political pro

Thanks for that! I was looking for a place where I can send a message to Reddit leadership (and other mismanaged tech companies). Here we go... deleting a 6yr old account with a lot of karma accumulated.
