There's a reddit thread from 9 years ago with people complaining the site blocking crawlers and thus not being indexed by search engines. So I'm not sure what they consider "overlo…

The only winner here is Cloudflare. Nowadays they have 30s wait screens for residential IPs they don't like. It's things like this that make me quit the internet altogether.

They should pivot to AI.

Since quitting caffeine 10 months ago I've found it difficult to fall asleep as I seem to have a lot more energy in the evenings. Also, decaf is probably impossible to get in a Swe…

Nowadays you have to get past Cloudflare to even see headlines.

> It's not like ads weren't a thing 20 years ago. Pop-up windows were particularly bad. Google pretty much declared war on those back then, providing reasonable-looking ad formats …

They are gambling, and the more we pretend they're not, the more damaging it will be for society.

I bought a MBP mainly for the hardware, otherwise I'd have stuck with Linux. OS-wise, the jump from Monterey (which I'd last used) to Sequoia was smooth and still feels that way. I…

That's where the free marketing comes from.

Static typed languages had been around a long time before Python, JS and Ruby gained popularity. All three of the latter now support some form of type hints. Why did people switch …

His Apple keynotes conveyed a sense of magic, for example demonstrating pinch to zoom on the iPhone and pulling a MacBook Air out of a manila envelope. And something he'd be angry …

I got to use it for a couple of days on Pro. Feature implementation actually fit into subscription usage, but then it went on chasing its tail fixing bugs it introduced and burning…

Might never replace completely, but those remaining will be expected to pump out a lot more code so companies won't need to hire as many.

I'd say 2015-2016.

> I know Ed Zitron is a divisive figure The main counterarguments to his claims are "but Sam/Dario/Satya/Jensen said X" and that we should treat them as gospel.

We're all grownups, why should we care about RAM prices? /s This is insane. We've built our apps and websites to require ungodly amounts of memory and now AI scrapes away said webs…

I wonder if River is a reference to the Firefly character, which was known for being unstable and unpredictable.

KDE 3.5.x really was peak desktop at the time, especially when all the K* apps were working as intended. As a Windows user discovering Slackware 10.2 back 2005, I was really blown …
