> In the past 5 years there’s been 1 rust job in my region of Denmark. It listed rust as a “nice to have”. I think it fares better in the Copenhagen region, but not by much. This i…

> Editing your Cargo site is not yet supported for this browser; please use a recent version of Chrome or Safari. Yes, that certainly was surprising.

> Real-time collaboration produces better software. Why does every commercial editor seem to desperately believe we all want this? Why would I, as an actual developer, want "pair p…

I don't buy TVs anymore, I buy monitors. There's no reason to own a television with a shitty computer built-in, when I can just buy a screen and plug it into my actually good compu…

I've started using it as my main browser both in daily use and dev. In the past I had trouble with client projects or dev tools only working in chrome, but I decided that the only …

I think you’re rather over exaggerating. For a few emergency boot disk or very low spec, like LOAF or uLinux, sure. But even late 90s, for anything actually practical, 50mb would’v…

Well, when 4chan started it was basically just a porn board. The idea of actually hanging around was akin to being someone who’s really dedicated to their pornhub comments. It took…

My father-in-law was a Finn, born and raised, and had to pay for everything out of pocket because he owned his own home business fabricating HVAC ductwork, and of course got no sic…

Yeah, I used "retail sector" quite carefully there. The breadth of the conglomerates here is vast . It's sort of surreal to me, even by American standards, that this level of marke…

Finland is historically not especially concerned with monopoly issues in any case. Nearly the entire retail sector is controlled by only two companies.

You don't even get paid more. The apps have been circulating this myth in the press, but it's based on obfuscating of the numbers at best, and outright lies at worst. There's a rea…

Correct. The labor board has issued its opinion that they should be considered employees but it hasn't yet been enforced by the courts. Instead, all Wolt couriers in Finland have b…

I know some of those people with 6+ hi-res monitors and a huge part of the appeal has to do with how much screen space you get out of that many screens, and I see nothing of this t…

I have to ask: Who the hell is any of this for? Simula, Facebook's virtual office meetings, all of this virtual office stuff ... ISTR we loudly declared the death of skeumorphism a…

Not to mention that going with a third-party host is still relying on someone else's computer being trusted with your data. It's like saying we don't need physical drives anymore b…

> Start a site on Neocities, share photos on Pixelfed, or write your thoughts on Write.as — to name a few. This would be a more convincing pitch if it didn't end with "now just use…

Yes, physical storage is so much more secure. That's why I bury all my gold in the backyard.

Technically, this includes the people who gave them the Bitcoin. Bitcoin != USD. In fact I seem to recall being told that was rather the point.

I worked at a job once where this was deliberate . Certain voices in the team were terrified of "siloing", and so it was a matter of policy that everyone had to jump tasks and team…

Are you Facebook?

Natural Language Processing is literally a major wing of AI development and data science, but even that isn't really necessary. Matching text on ad-based keywords has been going on…

I've begun to recognize "unnecessary GraphQL" as a code smell, and one usually indicative of wider architectural problems in a project. I have yet to be wrong in immediately steeli…

I have at this point lost count of the number of times I or someone else I know on Discord has described getting Youtube recs or ads directly referencing shit they'd just talked ab…

Surely this site must have some standard about it's sources? https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Zero_Hedge

unfortunately, as I discovered with a recent fresh Manjaro install, VSCodium cannot access the standard MS extension repo, which makes it next to worthless as a production tool bec…
