Reading about manifests immediately reminded be of Clearcase/Clearmake. My memory may be not correct after all the years passed, but configuration records for derived objects conta…

In my experience any software system (not just operating system) after crossing a certain limit on complexity and age looks exactly as hodgepodge of code pieces thrown together, so…

I imagine that if a company really denied a customer due to disagreement on some views there would be similar flood of comments like "my views is my problem, I pay you money you mu…

They got 43.9% in what Wikipedia marks as "semi-free yet questionable election". Also more correct question IMHO would be "was the NSDAP extreme in 1933?" and the answer is probabl…

A thought experiment: Let's think of the other extreme as well: exactly the same excellent VPN service, is run by an almost-the-best-person-in-the-world who has just one small quir…

According to polls[0] the party gets ~20% votes in their region. IMHO 20% of voters can't be "extreme" [0] https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/orebro/orebropartiet-nast-... (swedish)…

This sounds a bit irrational. Where does "wealthy" start? Mullvad co-CEO donated ~ $500K, would him donating $100K have the same effect? What about $10K? What if a Mullvad _employe…

I try to turn it other way in my head, like if Mullvad got to know somehow political views of some of their customers and say "We don't like what you say, so we decide to end our b…

The quote is taken out of context. The sentence starts with "Youngsters that are criminals - they should get out". And before "walk over corpses" he says that "they got swedish pas…

He says what is quoted when talking about criminals with immigrant roots. "Those [criminals] - they should get out, even if they were born in Sweden, because they do not have a con…

From all I've read or heard about birth rate rise the measures that sociologists see as the most effective are: provide cheap housing and pay much more to families (i.e. mostly to …

Works of Shinichi Mochizuki immediately come to mind. He is not AI but provides very good examples of math that is useless because it is incomprehensible by (other) humans.

In the RN for the latest release it states: Breaking Changes Use of jqwik >= 1.10 with coding agents is strongly discouraged. Jqwik’s output to stdout may confuse AI-based agents. …

Yes, nothing and the facts that these are government services, they use BankID and they updated their websites with "maintenance work" announcements for tomorrow, Saturday. For kro…

Knowing swedish people's mindset I'm not surprised at all by the breach. What can be mildly surprising is that no major e-gov service has expressed concerns on their websites. Only…

I would guess that skatteverket.se, polisen.se, kronofogden.se are among those affected by the leak.

As if it ever happened that a breached company admitted immediately that they've just been fucked.

The Internet is _not_ for talking to people across the globe. The Internet allows that, but not only that - one can have a Whatsapp chat with someone in the same bus, this is both …

It depends on the country you're in, obviously. I've been to countries where protests are illegal (even 1-man protests with a blank sheet of paper).

Any situation when mobile internet cannot be used. That is not only protests, but also legal gatherings, i.e. street concerts, or places where mobile coverage is poor in general.

What is conceptually different between prompts and code? Code is also not always what the computer will do, declarative programming languages are an example here. The only differen…

China has built their Great Firewall over many years gradually, and they have a lot of resources inside, so almost everything from the "western" Internet has a Chinese analog. Russ…

If I get 10K and my boss gets 400K - our average compensation will be just above the mentioned 203K. But there are some small details, you see...
