Most of these problems are actually solved with containers, though. An opinionated release of k8s (k3s, microk8s, etc) does wonders for making much of it just disappear. You pay a …

Nah he's entirely right. Serve http, let the user do https. If you want to put caddy in front of yours? Great it works. For me, running a much larger setup? Great, it also works. F…

The above post fails to distinguish between unmaintained and native. Native is great. I'm with you entirely. Failure to maintain the space is not. That causes expensive and annoyin…

To face this directly: I think an honest answer is probably "yes". Our buying habits empowered the type of company that wants to put AI into everything. Whether they continue to do…

I mean, I get it - I somewhat agree with your take, but this is somewhat of a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" case. I think you undermine your argument when you don't under…

I think it was one of those cases where "the road to hell was paved with good intentions". I'm old enough and was very pro-android in the early days when it first released. I absol…

I'll take this bait. First up - I completely agree that parts of the terminal experience are decidedly lackluster, you can make them "fine" but the general experience doesn't align…

The internet is already a class based internet. Why do you think SO many services want you to login, or force you to their mobile apps? They are curating your experience to be as e…

Oh give it a rest. You want to talk about killing a system... look at all the perverse incentives that pop up when companies are allowed to sell user attention instead of decent se…

Worth buying? Maybe. Actually bought and distributed? No. Again, hardware just doesn't roll out that fast, and you're talking about trying to distribute expensive hardware to a pop…

Even if we agree with this take (and I do think it's a likely take that you're right on the long term), it doesn't change that it seems likely we're in a bubble, and it probably wi…

If you read the full post, I'm not actually sure I agree with the title. Personally - if I were judging... I'm somewhat inclined to say the clickbait title here is the bigger lie t…

Since you asked... Tools. I buy more tools than I should - Wood working, electronic, and more general purpose. It's not always cost effective, but I generally pick a new project (e…

I'm not the above poster, but my experiences generally line up with theirs. The first 20% of context is usually very solid. Agent stays on task, is responsive and focused on the or…

I find this is mostly just a "mindset" difference. OSS software aligns mentally with "tool". It only exists because someone had a problem to solve, and they wanted a tool to solve …

I don't understand this mindset. I get that people who are going to upgrade to the latest flagship phone every 18-24 months will probably do better with this, but realistically... …

This would be my read. Hell - my children just this year would have counted for 10+ doses (my daughter 6 all by herself for a series of severe ear infections).

> That pales in comparison to how many people unaligned AI will hurt. Under what argument? In which scenarios? Basically - bullshit. I'm calling bullshit on this argument. It's eas…

It takes an astoundingly small amount of effort to buy an automatic weapon in the US and go hurt people. Or to buy materials to make an explosive device and hurt people. Frankly, e…

I'm vaguely sympathetic to this argument. But only vaguely. Google uses its monopoly position in advertising to basically ensure that you allow them to scrape your site (or if not …

I don't think the goal of this data is necessarily model improvement. I think it's marketing, advertising, and product refinement. Ex: all the things Google wants your search data …

Two things. 1. Deps are an organizational hassle. They need review, get flagged as security and legal risks, and (mostly incorrectly imo) have been somewhat tarnished by the idea t…

Personally - I think this cuts both ways. Things sold as "unlimited" are often much more expensive for the average user than proper rate based billing would be (see - mobile data, …

Agreed - I hit "Reset after 2 seconds", I hit "Add 1", and sure - it adds one, but it also unexpectedly cancels the reset. Which I don't expect from the description, and I also don…

I think this is the wrong take. If this was really the truth, the brand names wouldn't matter. But instead the brand ends up as the sole desirable target in the corporate sales. I …
