  • Why don't more people use Linux? - DHH

    Jump

  • It’s an operating system that demands more of you than does the commercial offerings from Microsoft and Apple.

    Does it?

    It's different, but I imagine they're not fundamentally different if you exclude established knowledge/already being used to something.

    Normal office use for non-techy people is launching apps, editing documents, and surfing the web. That doesn't work much differently, not fundamentally different, and not fundamentally more difficult.

  • Which protocol or open standard do you like or wish was more popular?

    Jump

  • I wish standards were always open access. Not behind a 600 dollar paywall.

    When it is paywalled I'm irritated it's even called a standard.

  • TOML instead of YAML or JSON for configuration.

    YAML is complex and has security concerns most people are not aware of.

    JSON works, but the block quoting and indenting is a lot of noise for a simple category key value format.

  • Using the term ‘artificial intelligence’ in product descriptions reduces purchase intentions

  • It’s been shown that AI isn’t at a level where using it for anything isn’t beneficial, in fact it’s the contrary.

    Maybe you're thinking of something more specific than me, but I don't think that's the case. What is being called AI is a broad field.

    I think what Opus was able to implement for high packet-loss voice transmission is exceptional.

    I also find Visual Studio in-line-inline-completions to be very useful.

    That's far from the typical Chatbots and whatnot though. Which often suck.

  • Let's blame the dev who pressed "Deploy" - by Dmitry Kudryavtsev

    Jump

  • It's a systematic multi-layered problem.

    The simplest, least effort thing that could have prevented the scale of issues is not automatically installing updates, but waiting four days and triggering it afterwards if no issues.

    Automatically forwarding updates is also forwarding risk. The higher the impact area, the more worth it safe-guards are.

    Testing/Staging or partial successive rollouts could have also mitigated a large number of issues, but requires more investment.

  • What's the dumbest reason you've learned a programming language?

error: dict not found. Were you looking for dick?

  • Public personal dev accounts: opinions?

    Jump

  • Is it gatekeeping if they voice their disapproval? Is any form of disapproval gatekeeping? Where is the line?

    They didn't ask them to stop posting or participating. Wouldn't that be the line where it crosses to gatekeeping?

    They asked them not to attach the CC notice. It didn't address their content.

  • How do I not stop feeling like I am doing nothing outside work?

    Jump

  • I've recently gotten into codewars.com a bit. (Not for a lack of personal projects.) I can recommend you try it.

    The kind of projects that could fit depends on various things. What kind of projects would be of interest to you? Visual? 3D rendering? Algorithms? Utilities? Desktop software? Web? Known or new technologies? Which ones?

    • Implement a binary data serializer - for example for CBOR or BSON
    • Implement fractal rendering
    • Implement a checksum utility
    • Implement a personal website
