Remember: code is free as in "free puppy". FOSS communities were never valuable because of the code. It was the shared written and oral traditions that make the software useful, usable, and updated.
I also write a lot of python code. Ported 2 companies from python 2 to 3 too (idk why that keeps happening to me). Lots of modern (...3+) python code uses type hints and a type checker. It can be as strict as you'd like…
Nah man that's how you end up in the permanent underclass. If you want to make it you have to throw everyone and everything else under the bus, be a bizarrely mustache-twirling evil misanthrope and general…
I wonder if it's a joke about oversubscribed environments (cloud VPS) or a real remark about fractional CPU budgets in container environments
Sure, naturally. And yet parent commenter is remarking that simultaneously no AI-true-believer startups have supplanted the old money, and simultaneously despite much talk the bigcos have not slashed headcount to tiny…
I've said this before: if anthropic (et al) thought they genuinely had a shot at replacing even 30% of white collar work, they would ABSOLUTELY NOT warn ANYONE. They would do what oil, leaded gas, and cigarette…
It's not one or the other, it's both. Sqlalchemy ORM is my favorite, followed sqlc (golang), because they are both there for you for your highs (select * from table order by created at) and your lows ([an inner join…
Yes and no. There's a distinct auction that runs and it is a distinct event and has its own rules. Eg 5 mins (idr exactly, it's been 6 years for me) before the opening cross you can no longer cancel auction orders,…
No, you're right. It basically just passes the buck. But the general idea is that if your transaction succeeds, you KNOW that there is a durable record that some external thing needs to end up in a message bus. And then…
I am quite curious too. I had heard that, despite arm vascular being very consistent among individuals, it does still vary. And I think for most vaccines I guess it doesn't matter if you hit something other than muscle.…
We managed to generate probably-correct code, which can then be probably-corrected recursively to get to something that runs (usually). This made everyone scream and lose their minds saying that code is finished, people…
Ok cool. Computers think. They're (trying to) use that to literally replace regular people. And not in a Star Trek way. "Permanent underclass" way. That's bad. I would rather we not have technology than have people…
The site is clearly libertarian, so they have a vested interest in trying to dunk on both the "left" and "right". When in actuality they're just lumpenproletariat who are going to get run over by the only people who…
No kids eh? My oldest starting preschool was one of the worst times in my life. We were sick from august to december, then january to may. Dreadful. It got better. My youngest is 3 now and is ahead of where my oldest…
I sure wish I could relate to this but I haven't been at a company that hired juniors since i was the junior being hired 15 years ago.
Idk, I can imagine a specific weird usecase. I use IntelliJ. My coworkers don't. They don't want my .idea folder in git. (You're probably thinking "ok, yep, gitignore!" And you're right except my boss ideologically does…
People always point this out like it's some kind of gotcha. "But things were wrong before, too!" But it wasn't ON PURPOSE. The INTENT, by the people serving the search, was for the information to be correct. Algorithms…
I largely don't disagree with you but come to a different conclusion. I have two systems: 1) a "programming desktop" with a $500 upper mid range Ryzen (idr exact), 8GB VRAM Radeon card I bought solely for RuneScape, and…
Same. I have no desire to use Claude at all anymore.
No, if anything, I would say a very unfortunate trait of existence right now is that reality does NOT tend to punish corporations for being completely idiotic, at least not very fast at all. Look at musk's companies.…
My sentiments too. I'm using Qwen 3.6 35B A3B on a machine with 64Gb ram and a 24GB 5090 (an Alienware 16 Area51 I bought, serendipitously, about 15 seconds before the idiots preordered all computers for the next 3…
And thanks to AI, we could generate extremely convincing reams of code whose only purpose is to be fake unit tested. Amazing. I sincerely hope I never need to use this nuclear weapon.
Suno is completely incapable of producing heavy metal. I can't speak for other genres bc I don't listen to them, but what it produces is completely hollow and devoid of what makes metal metal. I also think most metal…
TBC I don't necessarily mean they're using them on those servers. Just saying the prices are peanuts to them. I find KVMs are usually used for non-rackmount / weird hardware that nonetheless ends up in a server room.
Right now I am not seeing a great track record of rich people being punished for crimes. The only one so far is Epstein and he was only punished for being caught.
