Pangram says 100% - "We believe that this entire text is AI."

A workflow I was introduced to and have worked with a lot in my teams is, 1. Everyone uses feature branches 2. Everyone cleans up their branch using interactive rebase on top of ma…

I run as uid 0, but it's not called root, because my system is mine and I'll call it what I want.

I used to complain about all the levels of indirection of modern software, running in a javascript jit, in a browser container, in a vm, on an os, etc. I eventually just accepted i…

I've created my own keyboard layout plus do some key remapping on my mac. Are you sure this won't work for tilde? The tilde key exists in the key map here: https://developer.apple.…

Sure, but it's probably unwise to have your production credentials on your development machine at all. It's far more likely to be compromised than your locked down production envir…

I must have missed some trends changing in the last decade or so. People have production secrets in the open on their development machines? Or what type of secrets are stored in th…

It's interesting, because a few years ago I would have put this strictly under the "not invented here" fallacy, where we'd now be stuck maintaining another project for the foreseea…

Interesting! I know Sweden was not first, but Stockholm has had 3g coverage in the subway since 2005 and 4g since 2016.

If I understand correctly the only thing not public that was leaked was the role each person had in the government.

I guess "don't roll your own crypto" is as valid as ever.

Of course, majority is not very cleanly applicable yous politics. Less than half (which according to Mirriam Webster is the definition) of the votes cast in the last election went …

When using aider for development, do you typically review the generated diffs in aider itself or do you use an external tool? Trying to figure out what a good workflow looks like.

I wonder why Andreessen needs to use disinformation to shape opinion if the actual problem is so bad? I find it very unlikely that he does not know how PEP actually works. It is so…

It seems like Servo has gotten a lot more contributions lately, after a prolonged pause. https://github.com/servo/servo/graphs/contributors

Does anyone know if Embark are still using a lot of rust in their production games? They seem to be a very well funded studio (lots of employees, big fancy office, competes with ot…

This is my experience in very small companies (think a Once a company gets a little bit bigger, the processes around information sharing, planning and other communication has to be…

I worked in the robotics lab at my university for a few months. That was a really nice way of making software more tangible. Seeing things move through physical space made it more …

They'll use one spacecraft to block the sun shining on the other spacecraft,yes.

Perhaps semi-off topic, but it will be interesting to see if silicon anodes (like https://www.silanano.com develops) will take off. They promise up to 20% increased capacity from s…

This sounds sane to me. I don't think people in general have a good understanding of how these generative AI products produce their answers, and I think many would assume hallucina…

Because it's not true? Anyone who has ever been close to the customer support role knows that there is a constant battle to help the customers answer questions on their own, and yo…

You can easily sail from the other countries that have a baltic sea coast line though? It's not far. A small yacht can definitely do it.
