It’s an innate human desire to do everything in one’s power to save the person you love. If you had a feeling you could do more, would you not try? When you’re not personally invol…

Exactly how I feel about this. As a European living in the US this reads “American discovers sitting down with a cup of coffee instead of taking it outside”.

I’ve been asking this question for a while since I love Rails but I don’t like Ruby that much. I think only Django comes close, although I haven’t tried it, but I dislike Python mu…

Yup. All of this sounds eerily familiar. Well, if you’re ever in Arizona, let’s grab a coffee and talk about the old country.

This is what I miss the most. I moved to the US 12 years ago, also from Croatia, and while I have friends here, the lifestyle there is just conducive to spending time hanging out w…

Sure but that’s all in the future. All of the selling points of this device are in future tense. The “model” does not seem to exist, but it’s being “worked on”. Their client app wa…

Can't find the interview now, but I remember watching it and yes they specifically said that because it is an AI, rather than just an automation script, it is intelligent and will …

well yeah but the previous whistleblower committed suicide after literally telling his family "If anything happens to me it's not suicide". A month later another whistleblower who …

Lords of midnight and its sequel Doomdark’s revenge. I still think its one of the best strategy games ever made and it was released 40 years ago on the ZX Spectrum. You can get the…

Thanks for this. It looks like a great read. As an immigrant I was always mildly annoyed by this idea. Like, yes, my language has a ton of words for all possible familial relations…

You’re right but also keep in mind that company policies are often made without much thought. I can totally see a BigCorp making a policy that no AI clients are to be installed on …

It’s quite different. The incident with the door heavily implies a problem of airplane design. It makes sense to ground it. What we knew at the time of the first crash of max 8 see…

I think "in a row" is the important part of that sentence. A single crash of a 737 Max 8 is not an outlier, but two crashes in a row of the same model of an airplane definitely is.…

Ooof...I'm not honestly. I don't do Rails that much these days but when I do it's just crazy how productive I can be. I think it's still a great fit for a huge number of web applic…

It's not, at least not from my experience, but you have to be vocal about what you want. I was offered a managerial position multiple times and declined it every time saying that i…

Well it wants to be like Rails so the Python equivalent is probably Django

I think pretty much all Spring games support that. Zero-K and BAR both do anyway. Both strategic zoom and real time “streaming” building came from Total Annihilation and Spring gam…

oh fair enough. Didn't know the timing of that, so I thought it was connected.

> In a sense, a person is given too much freedom on Sundays and this lack of control can produce anxiety. I feel this in a very specific way. It's not that I don't have anything to…

Creator of the Rust language Graydon Hoare is working on Swift, so it’s probably the other way around

oh wow haven't seen this in a long time. I played Battle Isle 2 like crazy back in the day. None of the sequels manage to get me hooked though.

Oh nice. Just today I started watching Jon Gjengset's video implementing TCP in Rust https://youtu.be/bzja9fQWzdA?si=Gh4s8FHpk9vBVEwZ

Indeed I haven't, thanks for sharing. Wow a computer developed in Nis. Never thought I'd read about that.

Wow! I can’t believe I never heard of this. Despite being born in Yugoslavia and alive at that time, I’ve never encountered or heard of Galaksija in my life. Sinclair stuff was pre…
