Hey, your let's encrypt certificate is expired and your website is flagged as insecure in most browsers.

That's how I learned git before GitHub, but it was a pain to configure DNS and port-forwarding when ISP didn't provide static IP.

When I started using Git around 2006, we didn't have GitHub. We used Google Code for SVN hosting, but we wanted to try Git because it was 'truely' decentralized, so we just pulled …

The table don't even add information, all but one cell share the same value for "When".

It seems like a cool idea, did you follow up with a product or an open source app?

I thought the same but I tried to create a small Django project with APIs, small React frontend from scratch, no LLM, no autocomplete, just a text editor. I was surprised it was al…

The value is to control the tool chain from idea to production so it can be automated by agents. It's no secret that the final goal is to fully replace developers, the flow "idea t…

The agent "personalities" and LLM workflow really looks like cargo-cult behavior. It looks like it should be better but we don't really have data backing this.

> If you truly care about the planet, don't have children. That's a fallacy; people care about the planet precisely because of children. I don't care about the planet for its own s…

At some point it will get treated like infrastructure, what a typical SWE is doing when cloudfare is broken or AWS is down.

Where I live, ballot are a piece of paper slipped into an envelope (not sealed). It's mandatory to take at least two different ballots before entering a voting booth. You can take …

Not only that but paper in a voting booth is so simple that anyone can check that it is done properly. It may be a burdensome process, but very simple to understand. Every moderniz…

At least for the time being, AI "workers" belong to someone. That person is represented and pays taxes.

I've been using Django for the last 10+ years, its ORM is good-ish. At some point there was a trend to use sqlalchemy instead but it was not worth the effort. The Manager interface…

Organize in person meeting and proceed to a Voight-Kampff test.

It's called Symbiogenesis [0] and it's not at all a wild theory. But it's limited to cell components, not multiples organs fusing to create something as complex as a mammal. [0] ht…

> but I can't put my finger on why For me it's the contrast between the absolute tone-deaf messages of PR author and the patience, maturity and guidance in maintainers' messages.

The whole issue, as clearly explained by the maintainers, isn't that the code is incorrect or not useful, it's the transfer of the burden of maintaining this large codebase to some…

It's a tell, a common language quirk of LLMs especially ChatGPT. - a slow-loading app isn’t just an annoyance. It’s a liability. - The real performance story isn’t splitting hairs …

You don't even need training data, a bot that play itself à la AlphaZero will eventually collect more data than there are of actual games.

From [1], I asked a few students to read aloud the titles of some essays they’d submitted that morning. For homework, I had asked them to use AI to propose a topic for the midterm …

If you really want to use encryption under a state where it's forbidden and communication are monitored you rather want to hide your encrypted messages inside cat pictures and tikt…

Claude Code really helped me with this recently. I have a rather old dotfiles repository (10+ years) for my Arch system, and I can really feel the fatigue from updating and maintai…

What I really really want to read in a README is *why* did you build this? The "rationale" section of a README is almost always the most interesting part. I can read the code, I ca…
