Agreed. I LOVE Kagi as a search engine - so long as it answers queries in under 2s with no ads, I'm a very happy customer. I don't mind if they flirt with LLMs, but if the LLM work…

The best approach would be to treat "High Performance" as a system-controlled attribute like "Can Read Location Data"; the app can make a request for a performance profile it's des…

I love the idea! It combines social-network capabilities with in-person hangouts. Let me know if you need a C++/Rust/Zig developer for backend work. The required infrastructure sou…

Aww, I was expecting something like /dev/null-AAS - https://devnull-as-a-service.com/

Guarantees about those things are impossible to add after a language/community abandons them, and you can Arc:: > your way to writing Java pretty fast. I hold that keeping the stro…

6 months if you're a college-sophmore-level student doing it part-time (my own experience + numbers), I'd estimate 3-4 weeks if you were spending more than 3hrs/day on it and knew …

Hasn't the solution to this problem always been easy? Just encrypt before you type it into imessages; this applies to _all_ untrusted communication channels. Don't tell me base64-e…

I say 50% of the Internet is Duplicate. (N=2)

The leadership that makes up media won't be paid more if they cared more, therefore the organization they create won't ever care more.

Brent is the engineer building all the real tech that a company in the Phoenix Project is building, and when the MC (a manager, Bill I believe) realizes this he re-directs resource…

Agreed, my experience says the same. Good compromises will win every time, and most times the communication about 2 different ways to build the same thing will end up producing a h…

Agreed

Would a "tax on bad decisions made by company & company's tools" be appropriate in the 21st century? I don't think you can sue an algorithm these days, but having the legal step to…

Hmm hadn't thought of that. Did google have the same quantitative issues when they changes names or did that come a few years after? It could just be they timed their jump well.

The quantitative reasons alone would have been responsible for a small slouch, but everyone would think "Oh it's Facebook they'll get back in the game soon, better buy now". The re…

The alert fatigue is _very real_; I have a dexcom and consistently see it: - mis-calibrate (first day's readings are garbage after new sensor insert) - UI on the app will sometimes…

I cancelled my subscription shortly after they started getting rid of small-time films and started producing their own content; the two reasons were (1) I don't like businesses tha…

This guy sounds like he's fishing for attention, the phrase "I didn't think I would have the courage to share..." is something 10-year-olds think up for attention. It drips vanity …

D is an excellent mix of good design decisions, metaprogramming (your macros can run arbitrary code at compile time, a la zig), and a nice standard library. They also have some of …

Net negative for most, net positive for a few, good learning experience for all.

The conviction of Galileo is actually pretty funny; it took a few decades _after landing on the moon_ for the church to apologize: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_affair#Mode…

Steam has a great status page, companies like that and cloudfare will eat Alphabet's lunch in the next 17-18 years.

I left the company I was part-timing at because after college I realized I was the smartest one in the room; my boss thought some of the code I wrote was "brilliant" and for this r…

Same, companies can only be influenced by their financials these days. I even buy subscriptions I don't need with the intention of cancelling them 2-3 quarters later (need to make …

Anecdata: I'm a number that supports that, I couldn't live with myself if I wasn't able to do meaningful work. You sound like a cohort of friends I have who run around with "eat th…
