Sure, you are in part correct. Fast fashion, cheap electronic that breaks in a few years, and are also problems. But there can be more problems than one. I'm discussing the one that the article mentioned.
I do not get your point. Is it an issue that I have an opinion on policies that impact other people? Are you against the concept of causing issues? I think we cause issues all the time. For example, by importing trash…
I think you're just splitting hairs. Are you denying the fact that most of the stuff private indivduals buy from outside the eu is not a necessity? It is an issue and it needs to be addressed.
I want to reduce the amount of trash being shipped straight from China to our landfills. And yes, that will come at the expense of some things. Is that evil? In my opinion it is a necessary solution to a problem
Well yeah that's classic wealth inequality for you. A fee for import can only fix part of the problem. Are you arguing for a cap on the amount of stuff a private individual can import instead of a fee? I suppose it…
Well we (as private consumers) need things such as: food, clothes, entertainment, a place to live, energy. Things we do not need: kickstarter passion projects, temu trash, a very cool custom built split keyboard that…
I get that it is a shame for you personally. Despite this I think high processing fees are good. First of all, it addresses the issue of people in the EU importing things we really do not need. Secondly, if it is…
What is it about the code that suggests it is vibe-coded? Is it the commit messages? Is it the large comment blocks? I'm asking because I almost never read code written by SWEs.

As someone with english as my second language this style is just too much to bother. Sure, I get that it is elegant and precise. But for me it results in stilted reading. Hence I disagree with the "Never write for your…
My point is that something is not useless if it has the potential for future use. I would, for example, not call the example in the article (in any stage of its development) useless because it has the potential. Same…
I do not know how it is in other countries, but in Sweden hospice is for a calm end. You are dying regardless
I do not get the "against usefulness" portion. The article still discusses the projects she deems "useless" in relation to their future potential usefulness.
At the risk of sounding a bit pretentious: I think the relationship a lot of people have with books can best be described as commodity fetisishm. People see some value in the physical books themselves. They are sacred,…
Well, yeah, 99% of arXiv papers were not written for me or you. They were written for someone who works in a niche within a niche. That's (in my view) the beauty of research.
Now I am interested in playing a board game that is not turn-based

Do you suggest small businesses send tattoos and freshly baked bread in the mail? I do not how they benefit from it
Seems easy to address with a simple rule. Push one PR; review one PR

No, the author used Howl for their normal work and Nano occasionally. I would guess when working in the terminal
Sweden would have had its own nuclear bombs if not for the political opposition. That's at least one more that would have been on the list.
It is really interesting how great and also how terrible LLMs can be at the same time. For example, I had a really annoying bug yesterday, I missed one character, "_". Asking ChatGPT for help led to a lot of feedback…
The argument is based on the assumption that knowing what DNS, SSH, etc., is an innate good for the average person. But why should it be? The average user does not have the time or interest to run arbitrary code on…
I do not know what you mean. The US and US-based companies have now become a liability. Global politics change on a day-by-day basis, EU has frozen trade agreement discussions because the tariff situation is unclear.…
