    Come on, the article wasn't even that long :P "Existing server contracts will keep their terms and conditions and remain active. The changes apply exclusively to new orders and res…

    Daycare is completely free in Poland since 2024 (you need to submit an application to ZUS, but there are no limits, it's always accepted), even the private ones. You only pay separ…

    I switched from a Polish company to a German one (both remote), but my pay is more or less the same. The difference is that in Poland to get that money I have to be a "top performe…

    I mean a lot do get reputational damage (e.g. a lot of people hate Jira because how slow it is, or Microsoft Teams - same story) - it's just that nothing comes of it, so "suffered"…

    It is especially true for MMPBs (mass market paperbacks). It's a specific term for a specific format of books that are just recently being phased out. You can find more info about …

    I especially love issues automatically "closed due to inactivity" just to keep the number of issues down :V

    Yeah I thought that was one of the primary use cases of eBPF. Not an expert though, just read about some of these things.

    I drew a lot of doodles and did things like that as well, but I think that they're less visually stimulating and simply "slower" so there's still some brain capacity left for learn…

    Yup. As a kid I could "entertain" (distract is the better word) myself by "drawing shapes" with the cursor, highlighting random things, switching between random cells in Excel, or …

    Wait, what, Zed is Tauri? How? One of their main things was that they implemented the UI layer completely from scratch using their own GPU-accelerated rendering engine. It's got no…

    To extend on that a little bit: they use data centers located in EU, but owned by US cloud providers. They can still pull the plug ofc, so it's only a small difference, but still

    Sort of, they have no "hands", LLMs can only respond that they want to execute a tool/command. So they do that a lot to: read files, search for things, compile projects, run tests,…

    Yeah, pretty much. A "mac mini" is just easier to set up for the average hype-driven AI "entrepreneur" bro than anything on the cloud. It's mostly a meme though.

    Comment #47333654

    Models are not local most of the time, no, but all commands execute on "the mac mini" so I wouldn't exactly call it a prop. LLMs accept and respond just with text what stuff to exe…

    This happens to non-native English speakers a lot (like me). My style of writing is heavily influenced by everything I read. And since I also do research using LLMs, I'll probably …

    By public services I mean only important things like healthcare, law enforcement, fire department. Definitely not stores and food delivery. You can wait an hour or even a couple of…

    I'm a firm believer that almost nothing except public services needs that kind of uptime... We've introduced ridiculous amounts of complexity to our infra to achieve this and we've…

    Most likely a Windows or MacOS user, where docker runs in a linux VM. Optimized as much as possible and lightweight, but still a VM.

    So if you're directly embedding the thing. This is a somewhat rare use case, should not be banned almost anywhere...

    The thing is, if you want AI output to be heavily directed, which is probably the case here, I can imagine that thousands of random takes had to be made to make the damn thing foll…

    Haven't you seen job offers where X years of experience in XYZ is a must? It's like most of them. Never got one without this actually. Gotta have this experience from somewhere. I …

    I'd also add "there are almost no developers using it on the job market" to the list why some technologies are no longer fit for purpose. It's a major one. Sort of tied to the ecos…

    I'm not hating, might be a language barrier, I'm from Poland, sorry. 1. Definitely not in my country. The average pay of a Wordpress/PHP dev is half of a modern full stack and the …

    You sound like a freelancer or something. Every single company I interviewed for in the last couple of years as a full stack dev *required* experience in React/Vue/Angular 2+. With…
