I've used InteliJ on and off for 20 plus years. It's progressively got bloated and slower, not faster. 20 years ago it was the fast lean option when there was Netbeans and Eclipse.…

Your unexotic stock electric car drives and feels like a white goods appliance though. Sure electric in raw numbers wins on top trumps. This is fine for a lot of people who want to…

Free isn't free. Coinciding with this, suppliers put daily connection charges up.

This is a huge (obvious) risk I've seen very little talk/concern on. It's not even the new one being "less deterministic and often costs more". Application prompts overfit the mode…

From the article I read it didn't say employee was attacking them hours every day. From the articles the employee posted a message on an internal slack "Outrage Notification" chann…

2016-2017 seems peek car from a car owner/driving perspective. Before the beeps, bongs, giant screens started and button removal took over. Currently driving a 2010 euro hot hatch,…

Scooters main priority have been cheap practicality. Fuel efficiency is part of the “cheap” part. Yamaha’s blue core engine used in its mid sized 300cc scooters can do 2.8L per 100…

Are you talking about a 1950’s Vespa or a 2026 Vespa? A modern 300cc four stroke Vespa will use 3.3 litres of fuel per 100km and Euro 5 means noise is quiet. As far as things go, m…

Social media is junk for the consumer. Facebook groups has taken over a lot of the old automotive forums as they shutdown due to running/maintenance costs. They were a treasure tro…

A lot of people have secrets/config files in the projects working directory but ignored by git i.e. `.env.local` So they're following best practice, not committing secrets but agen…

The dystopian future where no one owns cars is already being laid. Cars are more and more becoming white goods appliances with the driving experience becoming less and less a prior…

It was a fantastic, fast, reliable piece of software until they sold out for VC funding and went the Electron rebuild route. I was a paying customer for 15 years and migrated away …

I start Outlook every morning to check work emails. Sometimes it opens, sometimes it doesn’t, nothing shown on the screen, no loading dialogs, it’s as if you never opened it. Then …

Agreed, there’s a level of trust and as soon as the app breaks that trust with spam, notifications get turned off for that app.

They say sleeping pods, I say those photos look like any backpackers hostel the world over only with a curtain around the bed. Only difference is anyone in a backpackers hostel kno…

Middle East isn’t some 3rd world. If you can imagine futuristic cities, rich Middle East countries are already living in them with all the oil wealth. They have phones, computers, …

You don't know what you don't know. Playing with Claude, if you tell it to do something, it'll produce something. Sometimes it's output is ok, sometimes it's not. I find I need to …

> The main cost with on-prem is not the price of the gear but the price of acquiring talent to manage the gear. Most companies simply don't have the skillset internally to properly…

> Most lay opinions I can find online claim the fast growing birds to have inferior meat quality. I wonder if I could distinguish in a blind taste test. It’s easy to distinguish. T…

It’s not great as a headless server. With full disk encryption enabled you need a keyboard and display attached at boot to unlock it. You then need to sign in to your account to st…

It may be geographical. In Australia, a lot of places only have a "Square Reader" on the counter where you pay. i.e. cafes, coffee shops, convenience stores, market stalls. Termina…

Speaking of payment terminals. Payment terminals used to have good UX, they all clearly showed you the price when paying. Tills had displays with the price facing the customer whic…

One of my most used appliances is a Tiger rice cooker with Porridge and timer function. It's been used pretty much every day for 7+ years since I purchased it. Every night I put 13…
