That one final number is all one needs as a reply for "but they help a little".

Uh wait, a cookie that can be reused for a time to fetch the rest of the content? That's the exact opposite of what I'd intuitively want for this system...

In his recent goodbye meeting he very much gave off a "I will die at my desk" kind of energy. Quite unstoppable.

A better system is in beta in Switzerland. Government is the root of trust, but only signs your private cert regarding your ID. All the interaction with third parties is local to y…

Realistically this would be another service attached to the government ID. Something like this does function in some European countries, doesn’t it?

You can notice that memory bandwidth advantage even in workloads like photo editing and code compilation. That and the performance cores reserved for foreground compute, on top of …

It's slowly approaching what SRE has been dealing with for distributed systems... You just have to accept things won't be fully understood and whip out your statistical tooling, it…

Even online I get a lot of ads for goods/services I do use, or could see myself using.

Don't worry, I'm willing to bet that there's an AI integration in the works for this...

Society might care about cost _including externalities_. A truck running on discarded frying oil might offer a lower price and there’s no way to account for the resulting health ou…

No I don’t.

If only this had the F key row. Why is "fewer keys" the first decision that every fancy keyboard designer starts with :/

> all of the videos, [...], all of the user's search interest, ads, everything.. And privacy policies that are actually limiting what information gets used in what.

Isn’t the surveillance battle already lost? For at least a couple years now? At least in Europe it feels like you’re passing a camera every couple minutes.

Not the only... But for many hobbyists the effort to relearn is too much to save a bit of money.

Playing computer games since an early age made me who I am. It required learning English a decade earlier than my peers. It pulled me into programming around start of primary schoo…

There’s Darktable which is a pretty good alternative to Lightroom. When I looked into it a couple years back, a friend with Darktable was able to get the same results as I with Lig…

Um, after “simple” you’ve listed six different kinds of services. Just operating that any kind of nontrivial scale will require quite a bit of headcount.

Switzerland - a public service collects a number of Boolean flags in the vein of “has ever refinanced a loan”, serves the raw set to the person or institutions that can request it …

Why locally? In practice many companies never lose any data. What they lose is the knowledge what the data is and/or how to use it.

Haven’t they abandoned that and laid off the team half a decade ago?

You're lucky. I've clocked in almost 3000km and over 20'000m of elevation gain cycling last year. I also swim and hike. My resting heart rate dropped by about 1BPM and it's nowhere…

Eh, that's not a unique set of strengths. In any European country I know about (at least a dozen) you can get all-English education from kindergarten to PhD. In some for free, in s…

Just wait till AI learns how to pass your automated checks, without getting any better in the semantics. Unused variables bad? Let’s just increment/append whatever every iteration,…
