How did it end up, because it’s not a new thing to happen. First time I read about this guy’s border crossing case was few months ago and was of course very much highlighted for the level of surveillance govs can do.. but I also read some Time later that by the letter of law he was not proven wrongdoing.

Are we still discussing a border crossing case that is long historic or there is still an active drama for this guy going on?

Nice, I did not know author wrote so many different books about assembly coding.

This is nice, I recently vibe coded my own media player as I mostly listen to my own digitalized audio library and all software available today sucks to cover my scenario or consumes way too much resources by my taste… but random triggering Apple Music happens so often and it’s so annoying. Good article explaining how the trick works, should be easy to self-implement without installing another 3rd party software from nowhere known source

This is an article Microsoft Windows, Office, Outlook and MS Teams developers and product managers should read, they continually break the working software only to come back regularly to what they have invented already, in the meantime annoying many who had to experience the experiments in between…

Interesting concept for all new social platforms that already live in federated, distributed environments that share communication protocols and communication data formats.

I bet more difficult to push existing commercial platforms to anyhow consider.

That would make marketing tools to manage social communications and posting across popular social media, much easier. Never the less Social Marketing tools have already invented we similar analogy just to make control over own content and feedback across instances and networks.

We still live in a world where some would say BSKY some would say Mastodon is the future… while everybody still has facebook and instagram and youngsters tik tok too. Those are closed platforms where only tools to hack them, not standards persist

Although I don’t like pascal notation in C (I’m conservative snake style forever kind of guy myself) I agree with others who praise clarity.

I have done something similar some time ago but more like a production ready ExpressJs alike framework in C++ using only STL and Boost.

Definitely C/C++ can be considered as a very productive environment free of all the “modern web” dependency hell many other coding platforms introduce by default.

Interesting attempt. If that worked then maybe Darwin and then a virtualization/emulation layer to launch MacOs apps on Windows. That would be nice equalizer to what’s possible with full hardware acceleration the other way, back from MacOS.

I’m glad to see that more and more articles and opinions about AI are focused on how it works and it works great just the process and mind thoughtfulness has to adapt and evolve to fully utilize the tool.

That’s so much better than wasting time on the frustrated who just negate without a meaningful try.

I share most of the experience and learning with the author, I just still don’t know how to name the whole process.

The whole vibe thing has already brought negativity into terminology because of all negating.

Closest thing in history of software engineering practice from the past is XP (Xstreme Programmimg) with its pair programming approach. It was a precursor of anything modern agile. Invented at the end of 90s

It’s just this time, my pair programming mate is computer instead of human person, but I treat it as junior to me and review, organize, while coding, testing, documenting is delegate and we jointly do the analysis as a part of the discussion.

I can agree, it’s strongly augmented experience and weird often to newcomers to adapt, but when a critical path to succeed is discovered, it works great and results are a blast!

I don't believe anybody else can do it with good start you've made. I think above is nice headline for some more complete assessment as a follow-up article. indeed!

I think it would be better articulated if comparisons to ActivityPub were made. Those are I believe two competing visions of Open Social defined as communication protocol, not a platform. Otherwise it just sounds like evangelizing employer and that compromises the whole “open” concept of the article, fairly.

I just found it while YT browsing randomly and figured it out that this is great reminder how graphics chipset and abilities generated by them have changed in the last 30 years!

That's fine. I'm not on a personal crusade punching them. At company I work for we have had different solutions when the incident happened and it seems that was smart move.

Yes, sometimes companies have only one chance to fail. Especially in cyber security when they fail at global scale and politics is involved.

That’s what I know since 1994 as well. thus surprised it’s published here with landing page only and no specific news. Unless I missed one? Is there some 31 years celebration or sth? :)

what's new about it? or is it just a reminder that `mc` still exists?

Some valid questions asked in the article but I don’t like the terminology used from title to content to assess situation and options. I’d rather call it Commoditization of Software Engineering.
