Yeah, that completely invalidates his point. I looked at a couple random agentic sessions in my openrouter activity, and the input cost is 10x the output cost. Prompt caching on op…

I'd like to point out that Qonto is a business bank. Not open to consumers. They also have a list of prohibited activities: ( https://legal.qonto.com/en#template-uoa8xux5p ) which,…

The guy has a "Conspiracy theory and disinformation" section in his wikipedia page, that mentions 9/11. Come on. That's your "totally not pro-russia" example ?

In 2015, systemd was a giant, immature and complex galaxy of tools, that came to replace a hacky-but-mostly-stable bunch of shell scripts. It was pushed fast. It came with good ide…

In full-cloud environments, in small/middle companies I've worked at: Developers handle 1). Devops handle 2)/3)/5). Nobody does 4)

Youtube premium is still ad-free. There is a Youtube premium lite which is kinda-ad-free-but-not-really, but the full ad-free one still exists.

It depends how it is done. I used to think the same way, and I would never hire someone without having seen them program live. But having experienced leetcode-style interviews on t…

I blame everyone else and myself equally. But I'll stop whining about politics when I'll stop witnessing well-behaved but incompetent people turn projects to failures.

> But regardless how fast we achieve net-zero carbon dioxide, there is good reason to believe that the societal impacts of extreme heat are manageable, and across different scenari…

In France last summer, some plants had indeed to be shut down because of the drought but: * a minority of plants were involved, it was only an issue because it happened on top of o…

At scale, you would need to factor in the durability of the media. [0] suggests that some types of bluray disks can last 20 to 50 years. Hard drives typically struggle to last 10 y…

The resistance is already there, it's already happening. Car owners in Paris are furious, and bike infrastructure is already taking away space from roads. High traffic roads in the…

At every single org I've been where Datadog has been considered, the conclusion has been "Yes, it would be cool, but we really can't justify the price." Yes, in theory, in the midd…

It is not an inconsequential oversight. Most people will at least have sessions open to internal/private systems, sometimes sensitive credentials. And part of the teams will go see…

The number-based scheme is a leftover from old times. I don't think they are actually used for ordering how the migrations are applied anymore. The migration file will contain expl…

The use case is different. For the price of a cloud instance, on top of the instance itself, you are paying for: * availability. On AWS, you can start a couple dozens or hundreds o…

I used the exact same stack (gitolite+cgit) in the early stages of a previous startup, and code reviews were the big missing part that made us move to something more full featured …

Yeah. After the .dev disaster, you'd think people would have learned their lesson...

You probably aren't alone, since commands that punish you when you mistype exist. Check out sl[0] or gti[1]. [0] https://github.com/mtoyoda/sl [1] http://r-wos.org/hacks/gti

An interesting consequence of your last question, is that if Google added .dev and .foo to the HSTS preload list, it means they don't intend to make these domains available for pub…

You're right, there is a difference. I meant equivalent from the point of view of the user who wants to run tests, not on the way they work internally.

That's what Xvfb is for. "xvfb-run firefox" and "firefox -headless" should be functionally equivalent. But I would still be interested in performance comparison with numbers.

The old school solutions lack any sort of javascript support (per the docs, htmldoc doesn't even support css), so they wouldn't work for a lot of real world websites. That's not re…

Yeah. Comparing the legal issues that Facebook faces to the legal issues that Uber faces is complete nonsense.

It obviously depends on what work there is to do. In most of what I do, I work alone, with little need for cooperation, working through the backlog of tickets to implement. And the…
