I definitely intend to open source eland. The data lineage stuff I'm less sure about. I hope to build a business out of it, and it will probably always require some custom work to …

I'm working on Eland (Extensible Layered Algorithm for Network Drawing), a graph layout library strongly inspired by Elk, but a complete reimplementation. The reason I need a compl…

Might not want to, but perhaps still should. I don't want my dog to bite a young child, but when it does, I'm still liable, whether I want to or not.

I have done this. Despite using Fable for the spec, and having it double-check the spec a couple of times, it still wasn't airtight. And at some point, the implementing LLM accesse…

I think it's mostly the hybrids and EVs that are killing manual transmission. They were very common 20 years ago.

Nice analysis. I really love diving into 2 and 3, but I also notice I'm pretty good at 1; at several companies I kept identifying problems we should address, and also how to addres…

Yeah, I was recently asked to do a coding assignment for a company I wasn't even sure I wanted to work for. Sorry, but I'm not going to start an interview process with extra work. …

I would really strongly prefer titles to work the same way they do in html, which means plain text. Why should feed titles need a different standard than html titles?

They're trying to make software development sound like polar exploration or something?

Yes, but without exceptions for satire and parody etc.

> My primary concern is the risk that authoritarian governments—not solely the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), although the CCP is clearly the most capable threat—build AI models th…

Security concerns you need to think about when visiting the US are absolutely no less than those when visiting China these days. Treat it like a totalitarian dictatorship with more…

When has lack of brain activity or even being dead ever stopped them? See also the weird situation with Mitch McConnell.

Ukraine is gaining some ground, but very slowly. It's basically a stalemate. Except that Ukraine is making the war extremely costly for Russia with the recent attacks on refineries…

The main threat to Europe is if Trump ever makes good on his threats to take Canada and Greenland. If the US turns truly hostile, then Europe has a serious problem. Especially if P…

I might. But I'm currently looking at CodeFloe. It sounds a lot like what my best attempt might end up as.

I usually thank people in person after an interview. Why would I do that by email? And if they inform me about the rejection in person, that's great. It's not getting any feedback …

Which is why a free market requires regulation, but only for the purpose to break up trusts, cartels and monopolies, and to ensure equal access to the market and a level playing fi…

Codeberg is not a company. Also, we're not talking about jail. We're talking about principles.

Is it not obvious? They've just done it. They've excluded people based on new rules, and not everybody was expecting those new rules. Having done it once, they can clearly do it ag…

I think this would be a good time for another European alternative to present itself. Outside the US, but more pragmatic than Codeberg.

I think I saw that Max and Enterprise keep access, but Pro has to use credits, but I think I got $85 in credits.

Is that a code repository built on top of the protocol underneath bluesky? Fascinating idea.
