Yeah. I get that adversaries can capture their own high res satellite photos and determine this, but this is just handing it to them on a silver platter.

Firefox on iOS is just a wrapper around Safari, since that is all Apple allows.

There is a reasonable argument that there won’t be many new languages now that models are sufficiently trained. If anything, we may see languages optimized for models and not humans.

Same for me and a particular North Face light jacket. I’ve purchased the same model about 5 times, with noticeably lower quality materials in the more recent years. Faster wear, quicker fading colors, thinner.

Maybe we should tax computers entirely

I think there’s a good chunk of the SF tech event scene built around pulling in qualified email addresses, too. “Apply to attend”

Reddit was originally built using fake accounts, who’s to say it ever really stopped.

Maybe centralizing the internet wasn’t a great idea after all, huh

> but so many people have a religious level hatred of public employees

Are you sure this is the issue here? Seems there are lots of regulations around how much public employees can be paid (usually too low for skilled IT), how easy it is to move or fire them, etc. Sounds much easier to just hire a contractor.

Cloudflare is not a solution. Only leading to a further centralized internet.

Also terrible that purchased credits expire after 1 year. Not sure how that is legal.

Render also pushes MinIO as their recommended equivalent to S3 for their customers (using docker), similar to Bucketeer on Heroku.

Hopefully this will finally push Render to build their own S3 wrapper.

Have you ever taken a Waymo? You see them on every street in SF now.

I too miss the days of phpBB an IPB forums. Circle.so has come the closest to replicating some of that interface / vibe, but as expected, their pricing has crept up beyond a reasonable point for small projects / communities. The answer seems to be something self hosted.

On a similar note, does anyone notice the issue of most official temperature readings in different climates often reading 5+C lower than what is actually observed locally?

Not sure why you're downvoted, it's an entirely valid question.

What we'll probably see is, celebrity look-alikes will be contacted to license out their own "features".

reustle — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 00:59:03 +0000

Just remember, you can continue to do artisanal programming as a hobby or for your own projects. But if you have an employer, they're paying you for functional and secure features, not lines of code.

A simple explanation of what this does, shown somewhere on the page, would go a long way.

reustle — Mon, 26 May 2025 10:44:58 +0000

GrubHub did exactly the same in the US.

Up to 23,000 domains [1], and listed some restaurants on Google Maps without their permission [2]

GrubHub was purchased from Thuisbezorgd.nl (Dutch) by Wonder Group (Marc Lore) a few months ago.
