I have one like that and so do my parents. But they're much less effective than classic split AC with an outside unit. A regular split can cool a bigger room to 24 even when it's 38 outside and is basically completely…
It's not that expensive. There are other reasons why people can't install one in Europe than money. Mostly for people living in apartments. In an apartment building you need the approval of other apartment owners to…
my guess is that the outdoor AC unit reached its maximum working temperature... since we're not that used to extreme heat in EU, units with max working temperatures of 45 degrees Celsius are pretty common and the air…
the sentiment "AI couldn't code last year, but now I use it for everything!" rings true for me... but I didn't flip cause AI is now better than me... I flipped cause now I am faster with AI than without it... A year ago…
Majority of the things I've mentioned don't need QA. Improving performance of an existing code is fine as long as it passes the existing test suite. Dev tooling / Monitoring is for devs only. Unused code is unused, just…
I probably spend even more than 20% of my time away from the computer these days. AI is great for this. I task Claude with something and while it's working I have the time to think about next steps, I can take a walk…
I love having no task assigned. Means I finally have time to do code maintenance. Upgrading dependencies, fixing bugs (there are always some), clearing TODOs left in code, improving performance, improving dev tooling or…
We have 257 python dependencies in our production app (over half of them are direct dependencies). We don't have any upper bounds in our pyproject.toml and we just run `uv lock --upgrade` every 2 weeks through GH…
Different countries use different definitions of what "small business" or "micro business" is. And people usually use their own local expectations they're used to. I'm not from the US and a company with 100 million…
The difference with AI is that now generating AI slop is much faster than carefully crafted code. So companies began to prefer AI slop.
Also this doesn't just mean more disk space usage, but also longer local build times... for the app I'm working on `exporting to image` takes 71.5 seconds with containerd, without containerd it's 4.3s (the rest of the…
Depends on the complexity of the task. That's what I tried to hint at by also mentioning college-level math. For the high-school level tasks yeah, couple of hours and I'd be as fast as I was in high school again. For…
What the actual fuck? Customers' expectations shouldn't matter at all if the things they expect is illegal. And this is already a solved problem. The city I live in (Bratislava, Slovakia) has some pedestrian-only zones…
> Knowledge comes basically from manual trial/error almost daily. This is the important statement, although I'd swap the word "knowledge" for "experience" here. You can gain "knowledge" from books, but only trial &…
Multiplication is elementary school math which doesn't require any thinking and the learned approach is simple. You can't really compare the simple stuff that's taught to kids, like basic multiplication or riding a bike…
For me AI mostly reduces time effort. AI types code faster than I do, looks up stuff on the internet faster than I do, debugs faster than I do, but doing those never required much "brain effort" from me. What does…
I hear sentiments about farming from lots of burnout software developers. I always wonder what made them become developers at all. Cause my primary motivation for selecting a job was that I explicitly didn't want to…
that's basically how it already works... extensions choose on which site they're active and if they provide any available assets (e.g. some extensions modify CSS of the website by injecting their CSS, so that asset is…
You can have decoupled Controllers from Views using React. That's the basis of the "original" Flux/Redux architecture used by React developers 10+ years ago when React was just beginning to get traction. A flux/redux…
in theory "maintenance mode" should mean that they still deal with security issues and "no longer maintained" that they don't even do that anymore... unless a security issue is reported it does feel very much the same...
My experience is similar, but I feel I'm actually thinking way harder than I ever was before LLMs. Before LLMs once I was done with the design choices as you mention them - risks, constraints, technical debt,…
> Literally every datacenter in the world was going to fail on this change I would expect most datacenters to use their own local recursive caching DNS servers instead of relying on 1.1.1.1 to minimize latency.

I've been using pyenv for a decade before uv and it wasn't a "major pain" either. But compared to uv it was infinitely more complex, because uv manages python versions seamlessly. If python version changes in an…
this picture does show differently in Chrome and Safari, but if I analyze it using the methods you did I arrive at a different result - I don't see an iHDR chunk there, instead I see a gAMA chunk and if I remove it with…
