> I think there needs to be a technical solution. If the threat of an 999999 $£€ fine per call isn't enough. I opted in to a block list and after a few months received much less ca…

These RAM prices weren't anticipated so there's been little time for software to adapt. Better monitoring could be a solution but this kind of thing wants to stay hidden. Running t…

I only see RAM usage drop by .7 by closing the app so it seems to be using about 700 Mo total. TBH I'm more worried about things I leave open and I think users simply need to be aw…

If an LLM has any taste, it comes from its training data.

I saw a kid crying in the middle of an elevator, she was twice the size of a step. And then the parents were angry at the kid as if that would make them appear as responsible paren…

Yes instead of investing everything in AI the USA should invest in electric versions of their vehicles and in trains that can safely carry them because of their lack of range.

HTTP was designed for multi-page applications/websites but I think it makes sense that Facebook migrated from basic PHP/MySQL to something more complex including React and making l…

There's a Wheeler Dealers episode where Edd China takes care of a WWII Jeep.

You can go a long way with just javascript, eslint and prettier if you work solo, but IME work is a low-trust environment which means that either you're a wolf and you do what you …

My car (EU, 2018) makes a noise when I cross a line without using the blinkers but it doesn't actually do anything.

The equivalent of a "used" game now is a game that was release more than a year ago and is on sale or at least has a price tag cheaper than it used to be. The playstore is a bit mo…

I reckon the Switch 2 still has cartridges although not all of them actually contain the game.

Lots of breaking changes but I like where they landed, the config file is now clearly an mjs, no longer a hidden file, allows JSX without a plugin. I reckon the best way to upgrade…

Personal ethics is personal which means other people won't likely understand it nor truly think it's really ethical.

Trust me you don't want to work with Laravel Livewire and Alpine.js, that would still require keeping up and for a less than satisfying result.

Making all this (for example) work nicely together can be tricky: Vite, ESLint, Prettier, Typescript and React, especially if it's full stack with SSR. If you only focus on the fro…

Does turning a laptop off to carry it and starting it on afterwards count? It's a poor reason to turn off a computer but hey it's a reason.

The log scale is nice to compare decades. Wether it's inflation-adjusted or not isn't too important but it's still a factor of 10, which would show in a linear recent graph. The fa…

With Visual Studio and Photino, after some tweaking I managed to publish everything in a single .exe file. In Debug mode it produces more files to have source maps that work well. …

Compared to current computers, the ones from 10 years ago are not that different, especially with all the software updates, unless you want an edgy graphics card or Apple processor…

Granny says one can't benefit from the experience of others. Not entirely accurate but she has a point. Some "obvious" things come with experience, sometimes it's the opposite: beg…

Even for a math teacher the math isn't the hard part of the job.

Someone I know rented a flat in Draguignan to a "friend" of a "friend". After some time he stopped paying the rent and bought alcohol instead. It was a tiny rent but it lasted for …
