Their video is quite interesting. If that way of using a computer actually becomes mainstream, it would mean every tool or service just needs a UI and an API for the user's AI. The current trend of bolting AI features onto every app is starting to feel very unnecessary.

Nice to hear others are feeling this too. I started using typing websites to improve my speed a few months ago. More recently I've noticed that I'm starting to make lots of typos and use sloppy language in general because AI still understands me. That can't be healthy in the long term.

Little late but would this have actually allowed running early Linux under Windows when Windows 95 came out in the 90s? I remember only dual booting being available at that time.

New comment by ilkkao in "Cloudflare outage on December 5, 2025"

Agreed, I don't really like Cloudflare trying to magically fix every web exploit there is in frameworks my site has never used.

I can't even load the dashboard to change to "DNS only". Nothing to do?

You can definitely craft an IP packet by hand and send it. If it's IPv4, you need to put a number between 0 and 255 to the protocol field from this list: https://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers/protocol-n...

Core routers don't inspect that field, NAT/ISP boxes can. I believe that with two suitable dedicated linux servers it is very possible to send and receive single custom IP packet between them even using 253 or 254 (= Use for experimentation and testing [RFC3692]) as the protocol number

Cloudflare is now saying:

"Cloudflare’s critical Workers KV service went offline due to an outage of a 3rd party service that is a key dependency."

I really hope CF explains this apparent Google dependecy in detail in their post mortem.

I just started to use nodejs test runner in a new project. All configuration is basically:

node --experimental-transform-types --experimental-test-module-mocks --env-file test/test.env --test

It then automatically runs all my test/*.tests.ts files.

So nice to get rid of all that extra config. As this is still a tiny project, I can tolerate some API changes in these experimental features.

I like how SpaceX is willing to take risks. Their second launch tower is still months away from being finished, and now they're trying to catch the booster using the first one.

Some government should force them to release a technical postmortem. Feels that they don't do it otherwise.

I've similar experiences about Scrum. In the worst case there's one or more developers, usually junior, in the team that are very eager to improve processes. Eventually it's tenth time you are forced to discuss what's the optimal way to define story points.

After experiencing this first hand in the US it was really nice to return back to Europe where in my opinion unnecessary operations and active selling of special cleaning procedures are somewhat more rare.

I just had my yearly checkup and the dentist again noticed few small inactive cavities and said we should just monitor them like last year.

Makes sense that 56C was just multiplied, thanks! I can tell this story during the next barbecue event!
