<p>A nice read,<p>Immigration has many pulls and with that comes all sorts of immigrants whether great, average and terrible.<p>Unfortunately Western countries and bureaucracies seem to have committed the usual sin of developing processes that:<p>- make it incredibly hard for good immigrants to migrate, contribute and naturalise themselves legally.<p>- at the same time leaving lots of gaping holes of exploitation for criminals and other immigrants who are just looking for a meal ticket or to enter illegally and abuse our high trust societies.<p>Couple this with a news and media setup that optimises for covering news of bad migrants whilst hardly broadcasting news about good migrants.</p>

<p>Same<p>Have you figured out a way to open a specific Firefox instance using some sort of routing.<p>e.g.<p>I click on a link in my work Slack desktop app, it then routes the link to be open on my Work Firefox instance.<p>Meanwhile if I click on a YouTube link, it opens on my personal Firefox instance.</p>

<p>My bet:<p>In a years time the discussions on using CC, Opencode, Pidev etc. will be redundant as we will be building our own tooling with whatever programming language and tooling you want.<p>Some will repurpose a popular opensource tool or harness, others will build it from scratch in an hour or so.</p>

<p>I have been using Claude code for a while and have recently migrated to Pi<p>Migrating my skills/agents and config was fairly straightforward.<p>Pi's agent harness seems to be more responsive and quicker than CC (perhaps with the prompt caching and squashing it does behind the scenes)<p>Tempted to do a write-up on migration.<p>I am only using Pi with Github Copilot as I am scared I will get my Claude account banned if I use the Oauth with Pi.<p>pi.dev</p>

<p>> If you are averse to the Daily Mail, you can try this article instead..<p>The irony of this though is that you just become bucketed in another consumer group.<p>Resist the packaging of yourself by media firms and marketing.<p>Try and consume news through the sources like AFP or Reuters (unfortunately not free anymore)</p>

<p>A lot of the comments on here are a bit unfair on what is great work being done and even more awesome work (JEPs) in the pipeline for the future.<p>If Java was a child, imagine it being brought up by loving parents for the first few years (Sun) then it was thrown in a garage with some other children and neglected by its evil guardian (Oracle)<p>Neglected and unloved till JDK 8, its basically been playing catch up.<p>So when people say "oh so its now got structs or value types of X", yes it has but that's because it has been stunted in its development due to big bureaucratic and hostile corporate processes, but its free now and is getting love through the OpenJDK family.<p>I will continue to enjoy writing once and deploying anywhere!</p>

<p>What a time to be alive, I remember 10 years ago as a poor student waiting to buy a ATI Radeon X1600 Pro with 256mb, yes 256mb of RAM.<p>It cost about £190 in 2006.<p>Now we have GPUs that are in tens of thousands of pounds with insane performance, but what would their price be without the AI and Datacentre squeeze?</p>
