  1. Too little too late. Used to be a JetBrains user and subscriber when IDEA was the best Java IDE. They lost me with the excessive product segmentation in the pursuit for profits.

    For example, Python is heavily used for web dev where you need to do both backend and frontend. Neither PyCharm nor WebStorm alone offers what I need in one app.

    VS Code with clangd is what I use now when I need to code C++.

  2. Next I want to run WASM inside CSS. W3C, please don’t disappoint.
  3. JabbaScript
  4. Exactly what I was thinking.

    Minimum specs: Memory: 4GB (8GB recommended)

    The original ran on 128 MB or even less.

  5. I wonder what’s wrong with Firefox? What is the bottleneck? The JavaScript engine? I’m guessing the thing is compiled to wasm anyway.
  6. This. I was researching uv to replace my pipenv+pyenv setup, but after reading up a bit I decided to just give up. Pipenv is just straightforward and “just works”. Aside from being slow, not much is wrong with it. I’m not in the mood to start configuring uv, a tool that should take me 2 minutes and a “uv —-help” to learn.
  7. > That's why we don't give MRI's out the wazoo

    Why? What are the risks of MRIs without contrast?

  8. > Better codecs are an overall win for everyone involved.

    I don’t remember ever watching a movie and wishing for a better codec, in the last 10 years

  9. Web 3 in a nutshell
  10. Haha, I had the exact same feeling, like I had read the same comment before. Glad to know I’m not losing my mind :)
  11. How did I ever get a haircut without paying a commission to a faceless corp?
  12. Chromium is open source, you can fork it to death while Terrible Company inc. is busy destroying chrome.
  13. In Germany people are asked to provide their Schufa score at their own expense when looking for an apartment to rent.
  14. Please do this in Germany. Good luck.
  15. > enter a sort of maintenance mode

    There exists such a mode: it's called dividend distribution. But currently DBX and many other tech companies aren't paying any dividends to stock holders. So if it's not growing and not paying dividends, what is the company doing?

  16. Enshittify
  17. VN - Vietnam

    SK - South Korea

    JP - Japan

    FDI - Foreign Direct Investment

    RoI - Return on Investment

    JV - Joint Venture

    ToT - Transfer of Technology ?

  18. > The A340 was built before ETOPS

    For those who don’t know, the acronym stands for Engines Turn or Passengers Swim.

  19. 10^5 particles per liter, not 105
  20. You know the current generation of AI is revolutionary when you have shove it down people’s throats to be able to pretend you’re an “AI company”.
  21. For now. See you at the next attempt.
  22. > There’s a million wrong ways to pet the bird, but Ambient gives you a falconers glove, pulls out a fresh raptor and shows you how to take off it’s hood while holding some rabbit meat at the other side of the field

    Had to bail out when I got to this part.

  23. Fruit that I would consider as good food have a lower GI than your favorite cereal, so your argument that there exists high GI food that works well as good food, doesn’t stand. Bad example. There’s definitely fruit out there that I would only rarely touch.
