it's not interesting as a standalone question indeed. The question is, what do you enable by having a private chef? Is it the fact that you don't want to spend the time cooking? or…

claude and mistral seem to be in a good ethical place. You actually can't fault llama either, as a standalone product. However it's still in Zuck Paradise

365 is not taking off. Numbers are average at best. Most companies now pay 20/user/month extra, and whilst the sentiment is that it likely kina is somehow worth it, nobody claims i…

You fail to grasp the value of bloomberg terminal. The UI has in fact, evolved, but it has never changed. For example, higher DPI screen sizes, the UI is now instrumented in a web …

big companies care more about how easy it is to automate the labels, the accounting, the scheduling, ... Saving 2 euro per delivery but requiring a few hour of human effort is typi…

same here. I guess it's Microsoft slowly making it cater to their enterprise clients

I have literally switched to a lower paying job because of IT issues at a previous firm. The extra headaches was not worth it to me. It doesn't help IT was full of Microsoft fanboy…

A work managed mac without a sort of helpdesk that can help you fix an update issue of approved software is equally unserious. I have never had sudo on a work managed device, but a…

reboot your phone at that point ...

VDI is actually preferred by our security teams, because they have complete deep packet inspection on literally all traffic going in and out. On our laptops, there are still some f…

I wonder how this is mitigated by my current workflow of running jupyter and vscode from a docker container. I did not start doing this because of security, but just to get somethi…

I genuinely wonder why people use SQL Server, is it just because of the active directory integration? Just because microsoft says so? I mean, its a lot more expensive than Postgres…

or has the fast food industry and unhealthy eating habits in general, which lead to obesity, been the instigator of the mental health epidemic? Fix the food, fix the epidemic? This…

we more or less do for all the applications in my team, which don't follow the corporate standard. They're all Django applications, and the limited dynamic elements are just simple…

agree there, but then again using ort in Rust is faster again. You cannot compare python with a onxx executor. I don't know what you used in Python, but if it's pytorch or similar,…

I have confidence as long as the current leadership stays on board, they'll honour the perpetual license. However, I am also very confident next year they'll just release a V3 and …

jup, eurotruck simulator, but in the air, would be amazing

it's one of those things I'd do as a millionaire. Some people would buy boats, private planes, art, ... I would hire a team to replicate my child neighbourhood perfectly in a gran …

in my experience from a few years ago: I commute by bicycle to shool (and in the meantime work) in a very rainy country. My entire childhood, I had to replace phones every few mont…

you forget the fact that your laptop comes out of your bag with a dead battery and hot enough to cook an egg Modern standby is making my laptop unpredictable, and that is very inco…

why should they spend engineering effort it their target platform (windows) doesn't really support it? You can't blame Intel for this one

I don't know where you live, but in Europe there is a standardized backoffice management protocol that you can link up to basically anything in modern chargers. Except the cheapest…

basically, make sure your data governance is on point. It should almost live outside of your software stack. Tools like collibra, purview, informatica, ... that know you database, …

ah come on. It's halloween. Brothers dress up as their sisters, sisters dress up as their brothers, kids dress up as their neighbours. You are an acceptable costume. Face it. But c…

those times have long been gone. Warranties were not the driving factor, but taxes and exchange rates. Today, the price difference is negligible on most hardware (smaller than $50 …
