I had this almost exact discussion today. Adyen (the payment provider) provides merchants with webhooks so they can update a local modal of payment and payment modification data (c…

I don't think the article tries to argue against the good sides. In my opinion it asks us to not just look at individual gain of using LLM's (which can be powerful), but also place…

In addition, there's about 2x year a 25% sale and you have a year to activate the passes. The in southern Europe (e.g. France, Spain, Italy), required seat reservation is most comm…

As a general rule, you always include the currency code (EUR, SEK, USD etc.) and if possible also the amount of decimals, when using minor units. Currency codes can be found in ISO…

What's a problem though is that while it includes a reference, its distillation from the source, or worse, from the combination of sources, is often plain wrong. I check them regul…

> stdx is a monorepo of, as of today, 64 crates It's quite an, ahem, interesting mix of libraries, including three csv libraries, hyper_utils (but not hyper itself), and a ton of c…

This and PEP-783 do remind me a bit of the story of watt (1) and serde_derive, where the latter was published containing a to WebAssembly compiled proc macro with the former as Web…

Their strategy always was "buy company" and "instantly lay off about everyone" to save costs and rapidly increase subscription pricing (1). So far they've been relatively soft (for…

The "local" company is already UK owned though, so at most "European", not national or EU. What I find strange is that the Dutch government does have its own datacenters, e.g. ODC-…

Almost all licenses have requirements to redistribute copies of the work, or derivatives thereof. Even permissive licenses do. It's very little to ask when open source dev's provid…

I've used Fastmail for years but a year ago switched to Proton. For me the only reason to switch to Proton was that its hosted within the European continent, while Fastmail is host…

I would really like to see what "appropriately licensed data" means. Cannot imagine they didn't copy all open repo's on GitHub, and can't imagine they asked for permission, or are …

I've played both Factorio and Bitburner extensively (both >1000h, but that's unfair wrt bitburner, because you let it run in the background sometimes), but I don't find they compar…

The first link states literally "AI will take over almost all the work of software engineers (SWEs) end - to - end in just 6 - 12 months!" What you describe is >50% of the job of S…

And if you like Lisp and ownership, there's also Carp [1]. It doesn't mimic Rust's features and naming schemes though. Carp is about 10 years old and has some cool demo's (like SDL…

There are other reasons why a project like Zig might not want to accept LLM generated contributions. Zig, as programming language, has a multiplier codebase. A bug may affect a sig…

The Try trait (representing the ? the operation) is super cool though! I wish it was marked stable so you could implement it for types without using the nightly compiler. Note that…

Finally! Glad they will now offer something which doesn't have a bending frame. ... but I wish they would make something with a bit more screen estate without being heavy and bulky…

With the advent of AI, these "life" events are probably even simpler to fake than AI though, and unlike the faking of stars not against the ToS.

Fun :) Small idea for improvement: the "fast" text is often over the same space as the ball, which makes it harder to see where the ball would be going.

According to the Financial Times (1), the straight is "open" but Iran is extorting fees for passing ships. > "Iran will demand that shipping companies pay tolls in cryptocurrency f…

I am a developer by profession and this is the opposite of what I would want. The code is your ground truth. If all else fails, the code should reasonably be able to tell you why, …

But even that is vague and possibly not true. If they used LLM's to generate all of the code, then it may not fall under copyright, by the requirement of human authorship (which fo…

I think opt-outs are a bit backwards, ethically speaking. Instead of asking for permission, they take unless you tell them to no longer do it from now on. I can imagine their model…

This is annoying, but that they use user-agent solely to check irritates me even more; even (alternative) Chromium based browser like Vivaldi don't work out of the box. I usually u…
