I think the important aspects are making individual developers responsible for their costs and restricting the most expensive models when costs are too high. That way, people have …

I think we shouldn't be depressed, but work on ideas and concepts of how this could be changed into something good. I see a lot of people hyping AI and condemning it, but very few …

I think it depends not just on culture but also on the volume of the conversation. Some people manage to have a conversation when you can barely hear them; others seem to have a co…

If it was generated pre-2020 by some slow meatballs (like news.ycombinator.com), it is okay to have edges; post-2020, it must be closed to perfection. I don't know what everybody i…

I don't think that the 'lossy' part is the problem. Instead, the problem is that language is only a subset of the human experience. So there are aspects that are not included when …

Every time I want to connect ADB to a device, it takes me far more time than it should. Having different ports for pairing and connecting is already a pain. I wonder what new hurdl…

My Arch Linux KDE Desktop with the Haswell i7-4770S CPU (from 2013) actually feels snappier than MacOS on my MacBook Pro M4. Sure, the MacBook has far superior performance overall,…

This whole thing is just a PR stunt. I believe that they did not stage it intentionally, but to be honest, the hurdles they put in place were not that hard. When I heard what the m…

I think forbidding it completely is somewhat radical, and while I am not a particular fan of advertisements, I think the real problem is personalized/targeted advertising. Without …

I have had my own e-mail server since 2017, and there is only one instance where I know I had a delivery problem, and in that case it was funny, because I wrote to two people who h…

But isn't this a problem with the ecosystem and not with the program? I mean, with yarn / etc., you have the same problems, don't you?

Well, do one thing an one thing good as in Unix philosophy? - Runtime - Package manager - Test runner - Build tool

I am not exactly sure, but my gut feeling is that Cursor existed before Claude Code was released, and the term vibe coding existed already at that time. EDIT: Okay, Andrej tweeted …

Why is there so much buzz around bun? Can't we just go back to node + npm + vitest + vite?

I think it just takes time to integrate it into existing structures, which is a good thing in this case.

> intentionally trying to mislead people Is a bit hard. But I agree that the field is moving very fast and that it is hard to find studies that are up to date on the latest tooling…

Maybe "using AI" is not sufficient by itself. Maybe you need to use it in the right way/setup/environment.

I think the potential productivity gains are real, but they have a cumulative effect. Currently you can speed up the coding easily, but other tasks, like analysing logs in producti…

Honest citizens think like that; others wonder what the punishment is, even if it is illegal. I mean, maybe paying a fine vs maybe getting access to a popular domain? At least corp…

Everyone should know SIMD, okay, but please don't introduce that kind of code into my codebase for a linear 5x improvement. If you work on a performance-critical application, that'…

That is why I call good pens like my Fink [1] a thinking tool. I always wonder if it is nature or nurture, but I am sure that writing helps me to think in a straight line. [1]: htt…

> Coming from a design background From a UX perspective, it is very weird to place the toggle button for the right panel at the top of the left panel... After I gave up to find a w…

Well, not E2EE, but I like Photoprism very much for the self-hosted photosharing use-case. In fact, I tried Ente a while ago and am always impressed by their communication skills, …

AFAIK, Cursor does some kind of indexing locally. So they don't have to upload all files, but can still search through them in order to find the relevant _parts_ that they upload s…
