As someone who has no legal duty to advocate in your best interest, I think you should keep posting about your intent to damage the platform-holder whose terms of service you are c…

Yup--electric performance vehicles are unreal when you first give one a try. I test drove a Ford Lightning this week and it is ridiculous what a 7,000-lb vehicle can do with that p…

That all sounds great until you're dealing with deepfakes that come from a country without an extradition treaty?

FWIW I think that's more the core count than anything. I have a M1 Max as a personal machine and an M3 Max at work and while the M3 Max is definitely faster, it isn't world-beating…

> People have had adequate food for quite long and not grown fat. That's revisionist, both in terms of "for quite long" (food insecurity was common in America until about World War…

> advertising (= cheating dumb people out of their consumer dollars) Advertising absolutely works on you regardless of how smart or educated you are. How it has to work to do that …

The mobile web application worked about as well as it does today from at least my join date of April 27, 2023. As for performance on my iPhone 15, on a 5G (not 5GUW) network, it lo…

bsky.app works absolutely fine in a web browser and I use it instead of the mobile application. (It's React Native, so they push a build to the web.)

Because most have left, either retired or disassociated from Trump and his movement. Trump's running as hard as he can (which isn't very, he isn't convincing) from the proudly publ…

Having read the LSP specification, and when I take into account just how many things LSP does , I think a 285-page spec is really tiny. I have specs on my work computer with TMF an…

Thanks! It's an interesting place, and I think the technical quality depends pretty heavily on what org you're in. But the quality-of-life is very high and I'm mostly enjoying myse…

There are other companies, too. I work at, statistically speaking, Your Phone Company, and they don't pay FAANG money but they certainly pay a lot better than I was doing at startu…

This is true, and there's some really cool stuff there, but that's not who most of this is marketed at. Small wonder there's backlash from artists and people who appreciate artists…

So I use WSL2 regularly on Windows, but I don't agree at all that buying a Mac doesn't make sense. WSL2 is great , and Windows 10/11 are fine after doing some cleanup...on a deskto…

My income depends on no such thing, if anything it depends on reducing complexity where it doesn't provide value, but it's telling that that's the only place your mind goes. And be…

...I do know them pretty well, which kind of puts a hole in this kind of snooty nonsense. Because I know the abstractions and what's under them, I don't have to think about it much…

> It's fine if you run it at a cloud provider. Setting up a k8s cluster yourself is painful though and at a cloud provider it costs far more than using just bare metal I think it's…

I wouldn't have put a database on k8s five years ago, but today the options are a lot better for persistent and resilient storage on k8s and there are pretty significant advantages…

If you can't use a "reasonably priced model" GPU for "a few years", I'm really confused as to what you're doing. I know people still using 1080's and 1080Ti's and playing pretty mu…

> Most interviewers won't be ready to shit talk their employer with this question and will say "nothing." I'm not sure that's really true. I ask, verbatim, "what sucks about this j…

Yep, I know about that (and WORDCHARS in zsh, for keyboard navigation). The thing is, though, UUIDs overload the dash character. I don't want dashes to be word characters except fo…

Yup, in a browser you can. In my terminal or my text editor or Slack, I can't.

ULID's presentation format is probably better for humans, though. You can double-click-to-highlight a ULID; the standard UUID representation doesn't like this. (You can use ULID's …

"Traffic" is a controllable phenomenon, though. We know how to manage it and direct it to achieve our goals. NTSB investigations of road fatalities, given teeth , would radically c…
