  • You can also lie on your resume.

  • Try to look for earphones with 3D head tracking. They work better for horizontal movement, but they might also help if you are lying down.

  • The barrier to entry, or at least to proficiency is access to educational material and community. i.e. currently the necessary skill is to at least understand English. Adding an incredible amount of complexity to understand when something is a keyword or not, depending on the combination between any number of hundreds of natural languages, and worse live-translating keywords without ever messing up functions, variables, and methods is not going to make it better - if it did everyone would using visual programming languages.

    Programming languages with different natural language keywords are useful learning tools, but they are basically training wheels on a bike, they need to come out at some point for someone to be good at it.

  • What happens when you import an library written in another language, and one of the functions is a reserved keyword in your language? How would collaboration between people with different native languages work? Who makes sure all language variant have equally good educational resources?

    There's a reason why lingua francas change over time but always exist, and forgetting that will do more harm than good.

  • LLMs are shit a doing large code changes, and fundamentally will always be shit at it, because they fundamentally can't reason. LLMs are good text completers, and that's their place in the IDE.

    My prediction is that most well run organizations are going to push against coding agents soon. Look at the reports that even Amazon is now demanding that Senior Engineers review for AI code changes and take responsibility, which doesn't scale now, and will scale even less in the future if we train less coders.

  • For kids? 🤨

  • What QA? Microsoft's QA was always the CEO demoing the latest repository head on stage.

  • Liquid Glass is WindowsVistaMorphism done wrong not Skeuomorphism. Skeuomorphism requires the UI to at least approximate real life objects for each use case.

  • It's time to bring back skeumorphism

  • Too many UX designers needing to justify their jobs leads to this. It also leads to less customisation options, since they also seem to take it as an insult when someone doesn't like their "masterpiece" as is.

  • What France did to Haiti was despicable and a big part of why Haiti is the mess it is, but Haiti hasn't been paying anything to France in decades.

  • The Lugano Covention means that EU court orders are almost always immediately valid across all EU and EEA member states, and while that leaves out countries like the UK and Serbia, their courts will usually confirm court orders from other European countries (and it would be a big diplomatic incident if they didn't in this case). Equally important, Ireland is a signatory of the Lugano Convention through the EU, so Ryanair would have more to lose than planes really fast if they decided to be irrational.

  • So Ryanair would just need to quit the entirety of the European market, move their entire fleet in record time without anyone noticing, and hope Jordanian and Moroccan courts don't decide to recognize the Austrian court order? For €890.

    It's a funny thought exercise, but in practice they are going to pay the compensation.

  • The court can sell the Boeing 737 at public auction if the debt is not paid by a deadline.

    Unless Ryanair steals the airplane, the debt will be paid. And if they steal the airplane, then they will have a problem much bigger than €890.

    This was a reasonable and proportional solution to the problem.

  • They can still sell the airplane if Ryanair doesn't pay. Did you want them to screw the innocent passengers for that flight too?

  • Most civilized places not only allow but promote small domestic panels and battery systems.

  • How very Warhammer 40,000 of them.

  • Because despite all the LLM slopaganda the laws of supply and demand give software engineers some leverage over prospective employers.

  • Email headers need to be unencrypted, unless they had a proprietary "almost like email but not interoperable" protocol. Signal doesn't have payment info for most users because it's free to use, but for donations they need to store payment data too.
