Honestly? I don’t know, I don’t have a whole coherent ethos about LLMs. But I do know someone definitely paid for the textbooks I used when learning in school.

Humans are not computers. Humans are not a service. In the end, all laws are made up rules and can absolutely be written to have different outcomes and restrictions based on if a h…

It looks like Spain is the most aggressive about pursuing cases, but they also settle for smaller fines than other countries. https://www.enforcementtracker.com/statistics

We tried that in 90’s RAD environments like Foxpro and others. If it fits the problem, they were great! If not, it’s even worse than with an ORM. They rarely fit today since they w…

Well that would explain it, plenty of Polestars around; I guess I knew somewhere in my mind that they owned Volvo/Polestar now but I totally forgot when writing that

https://www.bike-ev.com/news/cars/byds-270-europe-sales-surg... But these numbers don't split out only EVs. So assuming these numbers are correct, BYD would be below even Geeley wh…

The segmented type site that lets you see a bunch of different options reminded me of Posy's YouTube video where he investigates a bunch of weird options for these: https://youtu.b…

So I guess it really is true that nothing actually gets removed -- except the one that wasn't actually controlled by WhatWG or W3C. Is there still a real-world use case for XHTML/"…

One person's front-running is another's reference implementation. Although, yes, CSS is getting more complex because everything on the web is. What's the last standard feature to r…

Sure, if by SaaS you mean hooking together software that is essentially websites. Major industrial software that costs thousands per seat like Ansys or Dassault are not getting rep…

Oddly, my bank has no problem with non-US IPs, but my City's municipal payments site doesn't. I always think it's broken for a moment before realizing I have my VPN turned on.

I think the only thing here that I don't agree with is that internal users are just users. Yes, they may be more technical - or likely other programmers, but they're busy too. Ofte…

Pretty much everyone speaks English too, it's the official language of the company. Though we all try to be respectful; if I can't understand them then they tell me again in Englis…

This is more like people arguing over "proper" English, the point of language is to communicate ideas. I work for a German company and my German is not great but if I can make myse…

I'm brand new to MCP and agents but was able to read the extra docs to get VSCode set up with Mastra. Then what? I only figured out the "start Mastra Course" because of their tweet…

I've climbed this mountain of madness trying to calculate working hours elapsed before. It was easily the project I messed up on more than any other in my career. I'm glad I did it…

I don't disagree with the main points, but Alpha wasn't just focused on the small workstation market. Alpha for lots of us in the IT departments of SMBs was the go-to when your Exc…

Safari vs. iOS Safari is a distinction that needs to be made and people need to keep in mind. Apple's a lot more likely to allow stuff in desktop that it won't even consider for iO…

As far as I'm aware only Ingres supports QUEL Edit: In case you actually do want to play with it, Ingres is now Actian IngresX. Though I'd recommend thinking about what could have …

At first I was very confused what this had to do with the 4GL RAD language that been around since the early 90's. Seems like a poor choice of name for your project. https://en.wiki…
