A camera with a gun on it can go a long way though.

If you stop doing something right, because of fear, then the terrorists win.

Yeah. This is something that existed in pro software forever. You can have unlimited toolbars and all the buttons you want. But don’t have to. Web and mobile apps just removed the …

There is no good middle. Either have no options, or have many and make them configurable. I use 4 of those 5 options all the time. But there are other places where options make me …

I think this is a good practice anyway. Putting as much code as possible into silos with guarded permissions. Historically plugins have been kind of crappy because they were consta…

Eh. The useful LLM usage I see is in internal tools (bugs don’t matter because the output or UI is the only thing that counts and they are throw away) or personal projects that oth…

To me the biggest gotcha with AI code is that the bugs are not “normal”. When reviewing human code I focus on specific parts because I know that there are parts where a person will…

Yup. Lit element is much more accessible if you want “just” web components, but with a sane syntax.

Every time I needed to do charts at work I had a conundrum. Libraries are aplenty but basically only plotly does everything, but it’s not the prettiest. I’d much rather developers …

This (fixing bugs, making code better, refactoring), is the best fit for AI. I think a lot of us were excited that we will finally be able to polish our old software. Many of us we…

LLMs by themselves are but most applications built on top of them are not. If the code/data separation can not be solved then the whole approach need to be scrapped.

Only in systems that need to be themselves super generalist. Which is almost never the case.

It’s the good old white text on white background. Not really a way to defend against this, except having a no-style or high contrast mode that people actually use. Maybe some warni…

Ideally the manager would have windows and containers. Containers can be nested and can be floating windows, splits and tabs. There is no reason why tabs inside a window should bel…

It most probably wasn’t though, because that would mean doing only the tedious part of writing. Another thing though. How many times does it happen to you to start writing after ha…

Also the drive to innovate goes down. It took weeks for the creator of 2048 to make a low quality clone of Threes. Now people can make relatively high quality ripoffs in days, even…

30 years ago was the 90’s, when just about everything peaked. The things I’d be truly missing from today 30 years ago, would be the advances in medicine really and the fact that we…

Working with AI has been way more tiring than just working. Sure the productivity is up, at the cost of having to keep up many thought threads, having no calm moments, and needing …

Yes. When I write cursive and want to be able to read after myself I need to write very slowly and deliberately. All my childhood I optimized my cursive writing for speed. Most tea…

Everybody needs cloud backups for their photos at least. Most people don’t have computers, those who do, do not regularly backup their photos on them. In both family and extended f…

Three different groups of people, with some overlap between the first two: - people with their own websites - privacy activists and /or anti-capitalists - almost everybody on the p…

IndieWeb is pretty large. And by its own design the majority of users (lurkers) is hidden behind a page views metric that most people don’t even look at.

Meh. “Won” who? For a long time I was sad about the lost web, but it turns out most people on social media that has replaced the web have nothing interesting to say. I am sad about…

Well, for one we know that screens and social media had disastrous effect on children all the while the physical world was getting much safer.

And we mostly get neither. Some stores do offer drm free ebooks and audiobooks. My comment was mostly about the “steam for books” being lauded better as physical books. To me it wo…
