    I think that the fact that AI has a very recognizable singular style is a problem. And this problem will be solved, sooner or later. It probably isn't a very important problem, bec…

    You can actually do that today. In fact I did that for some time, because I didn't want to configure e-mail client. The only hard thing is HTML. Average HTML e-mail is almost impos…

    You can't do that with HTTP/2 (but thankfully every server still talks HTTP/1). You also can't do that with TLS (and a lot of servers won't talk HTTP other than redirects). openssl…

    100% agree with you. You can actually treat kubernetes as a glorified docker compose engine. Deploy pods, deploy nginx instead of ingress controller, deploy certbot cronjob instead…

    1. You can't force third-party software to do that. There are programs with hardcored ports. There are programs which require XML modifications and container rebuilds to change por…

    Docker swarm is that simple solution you're looking for. But people don't need simple solutions. They want scalable solutions and Kubernetes fits this niche perfectly. You can depl…

    As I'm currently exploring kernel build things, the alternative to `make tinyconfig` is `make allnoconfig` which is supposedly will not disable expert options and might be a little…

    TLDR: - What is a product director? - Xeon naming is very confusing - AET is Application Energy Telemetry - A lot of discussions about cheese

    I think that AUR is a not a very good idea. It's essentially uncensored platform. I think they can moderate it, but obviously only for high-visibility cases. Anyone can create pack…

    Of course it is possible to have E2E encryption on emails. You can have E2E encryption on everything. Just use `age` and encrypt your message with sender public key. Easy.

    Their detection is too aggressive. Just today I'm trying to build a kernel for some SBC and I hit that downgrade. I just asked some things about `make menuconfig` items. I suppose …

    You can build application outside of container, but run it in container. I think that it is simpler workflow, than everything in container (when you actually need to develop it wit…

    I'm on $200 plan which is supposedly 20x usage of $20 plan. With few Fable prompts (I'm working on u-boot port) I got 10% of my 5h usage, so that's already 2x of $20 plan usage and…

    I don't live in USA. I'm getting paid around $2500/month and that's good salary for developers here, plenty of folks are getting below that number. So this pricing is just complete…

    Sometimes I want to design a simpler C-like language and build toolchain for it from the scratch, with no historical baggage. Obviously optimization story will be very poor, gcc ca…

    As I understand it, the whole purpose of vfork is to avoid that problem. So vfork does not copy memory in any way and you're not allowed to do anything but exec after vfork. But at…

    Let's say you have 1GB RAM. You're running program that occupies 600 MB. Now this program wants to launch second small program that occupies 1 MB. You're doing fork + exec. If you'…

    Because I enjoy writing code. I enjoy being paid for writing code. And I don't enjoy writing prompts for AI. Code is not just a means to an end. Code is a means to my happiness. Us…

    That's how science always worked. The stupid people throw money at smart people and sometimes they pay back with good things. Any attempts to optimize that is futile, so the best w…
