  • Casimir Effect Energy

    Jump

  • Even if this miracle technology works, which is questionable, it would be like constructing a giant antenna to catch tiny amount of cosmic microwave background radiation to convert into electricity.

  • Why is your open source project still hosted on GitHub?

    Jump

  • Catching up from that time when Github CEO stepped down. I guess I'll just move back to sourceforge.

  • Visa holders on vacation have 15 hours to return to US or pay $100k fee

    Jump

  • They'll simply switch fully to outsourcing. There's no language barrier if all your middle managers are also from India.

  • I'm Not a Robot

    Jump

  • I'm surprised that Tic Tac Toe is even winnable. There is always a perfect strategy to force a draw.

  • Removed

    What use a smart card reader?

    Jump

  • Your laptop is a cash counter.

  • The future is here

    Jump

  • More like, take a bunch of screenshots of vibe coded website, and treat that as design document while rewriting the whole thing from scratch with clean architecture.

  • Baba Yaga License

    Jump

  • Non-commercial usage restriction makes this license not FOSS compatible.Additionally, 'no mortal hand' restriction is strange, it permits someone like medusa to modify the code while forbidding that to actual software engineers, and would a software engineer dictating code to a medusa be a breach of this clause? I'm not saying that long-lived organisms cannot obtain programming skills, but it is exceedingly rare.

  • The Cornervery: A 90-Degree Stapler

    Jump

  • There are tons of cardboard designs when you fold the flaps into cutouts and you don't need staples or glue at all. It just wastes a bit of material if you cut it from a single sheet. Staples also scratch fingers, unless you design a two layered packaging.

  • Developer gets 4 years for activating network "kill switch" to avenge his firing

    Jump

  • The script that would delete itself after activating would be easy enough to write. Even better would be to install someone's else virus that would erase the company's hard drives along with your script, the company would not even try to blame you.

  • What do you call your production branch?

    Jump

  • It's goshujin-sama

  • Document.write

    Jump

  • The missing </img> in the first example stings my eyes

  • Ignoring lemmyhate, are programmers really using AI to be more efficient?

    Jump

  • I'm okay with AI-powered autocomplete, or with AI-powered mock project generator. Anything beyond that seems like the management's misguided attempt at having more meetingsraising productivity.

    I'm not using AI, and I rarely use IDE, because ugh, code editor is not fullscreen, and I don't need a separate panel to navigate project tree and edit makefiles, I can perfectly use the shell for that, and I don't even need to wiggle the mouse like some graphics designer to debug my code.

  • Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux

    Jump
    • Printer drivers.
    • Corporate network domain blocking.
    • Each new version of MICROS~1 Office.
    • The lack of IPv6 everywhere.

  • Microsoft's Windows lead says the next version of Windows will be "more ambient, pervasive, and multi-modal" as AI redefines the desktop interface

    Jump

  • No way! I've updated to Debian 13 two days ago, and I've got two (!) new lockscreen wallpapers, and you can even configure lockscreen to download picture of the day from Flickr or Bing. Also taskbar has rounded corners, which I'm ambivalent about.

  • TIL about the Concorde aircraft that flew at twice the speed of sound, and thad passenger flights from NY to London in three hours (versus 7 hours)

    Jump

  • Time savings in today's economics would be completely negated by waiting two hours in line at the airport.

  • The Debian project is proud to release Debian 13 "Trixie", a major update that brings new features, updated components, and numerous other improvements

    Jump

  • 10 GB storage for default installation, 4 GB storage for commandline-only installation, 403 GB storage if you install every Debian package under the sun.

  • What problems does Linux have to overcome to get more users

    Jump

  • If you ever need to disable SELinux, your software distribution is trash, or you bought some unsupported piece of hardware with crap Linux drivers. Or you are writing kernel drivers and it's your test machine.

    What the user really needs is to launch an app in a secure sandbox with two mouse clicks, not an easier way to edit SELinux rules. Linux software distributions focus too much on technology, but don't provide the finished user-facing solution with this technology, that's the problem #4.

  • AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified

    Jump

  • AI coding tools are using the exact same backends as AI fiction writing tools, so it would hurt the fledgling vibe coder profession (which according to proper software developers should not be allowed to exist at all).

  • SF-Based Internet Archive Is Now a Federal Depository Library. What Does That Mean?

    Jump

  • This means Trump can finally de-fund them
