To be fair I also blame all of Germany.

Memories from '96: We had these beefy/expensive Sun computers at the university we called "cpu servers". At home we ran Linux with XFree86 (or sometimes Windows 95/NT with Exceed) …

Is the Chinese automotive software better than the German equivalent?

Gerhard Schröder, German social democrat/SPD and later Putin associate.

It is indeed an accurate description. I live in a neighboring country. Germany's energy failure costs me the equivalent of about an entry level Macbook Pro every year. I don't have…

Somehow you being the GNOME co-creator made me curious about what the GTK/GIMP creators (Kimball, Mattis) are up to. CockroachDB, it seems. It's weird how it's so easy to miss thes…

It's unfortunate that the Turbo Pascal (with inline X86 asm) source code of FT2 written by Vogue and Mr H hasn't been released after all these years. It's so seminal to so many peo…

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are issuing this Public Service Announcement (PSA) to warn critical infrastructure asset owners …

The same. That I did not say.

Zitron reminds me of that lawyer character in Silicon Valley (HBO). A ~decade later, turned influencer.

> Do you partition the previews?

Wait, you actually have an empty building/area the size of a typical custom design home? Aren't those typically rather huge? Do you partition the previews?

There's a flyby in 2030, but no landing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_Clipper The landing plan was scrapped last year. :/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_Lander

I recently tried https://talonvoice.com/ with an old Tobii Eye Tracker 4C. Worked decently well. The main issue was that the gaze itself is not very predictable/stable.

$20 Pro plans are still BS starter plans anyway, right? I blew through that in an hour when I first tested out Claude Code.

I was confused about this a few hours ago. Why did I still have Fable 5 on my Max plan today? Am I getting billed per token, eek? (No.) This is the message in in the claude [code] …

> They just want to get rich. The failed rebellion against Sam Altman at OpenAI pretty much proved that.

No, this is engagement-maxxing style journalism. Complete with the clickbait headline. It also spends almost no time on why the cheaper-but-dumber options win. (Everything is relat…

I think this was about two separate events in 1994: Among the allegations: that the NSA fed information to Boeing and McDonnell Douglas enabling the companies to beat out European …

The writing style frustrated me immensely. tl;dr: Cheap cool-white LEDs cut energy but worsened light pollution; warmer, dynamically dimmable LED fixtures/infra fix it but lower co…
