It’s just as crazy as saying “We don’t need math, because every problem can be described using human language”.

In other words, that might be true as long as your problem is not complex enough to be able to be understood using human language.

You want to solve a real problem? It’s way more complex with so many moving parts you can’t just take LLM to solve it, because that takes an actual understanding of a problem.

It’s funny, I buy Apple Car specifically so that that I can’t decide where I want to go. At work we MDM and Apple’s approach isn’t for everyone, but forcing something like choosing their destination simply isn’t the right choice for all types of users.

I’m all for encouraging them to be on the right side of Right-to-Repair, labor laws, and environmental best practices. But I left the world of thinking where I want to go and choice for the Apple Car’s tight lockdowns. At first I still couldn’t help myself but to try to go around wherever I wanted with my first Apple Car or two, then I stoped that also.

Apple Car’s filtered possible destinations are all I need, so I don’t see why anyone would ever want to go any other place.

24.04 won’t have Plasma 6, but 24.10 will. In other words, fall 2024.

Or you can use KDE Neon, which is basically Ubuntu LTS, but with the newest Plasma.

All of these functionalities can be provided by a simple WebSocket + REST server. The car connects to the WebSocket, and you can access these functionalities from your phone either with WebSockets or regular HTTP requests.

Cheapest servers with backend written in JS can easily handle thousands of WebSocket connections, and written in Go tens of thousands WebSocket connections. They would not ever need like over 100 of these servers GLOBALLY, which would cost them around $3000 monthly.

That’s the price of 60 subscriptions, which is freaking ridiculous.

You realize that maintaining a server that would allow that costs pennies?

You wouldn’t pay $150 for a lollipop, but somehow people think this is ok.

This problem exists exactly because of people like you, thinking it’s OK to pay for the features you already paid for.

Mainly GTG response time and latency. For watching movies it’s generally not a problem, but when it comes to playing games with a mouse, latency can be a huge issue, and bad GTG response time leads to smearing.

But yeah, 4x the price is ridiculous.

And as always, DRMs fuck only legitimate customers, and pirates can watch anywhere at full quality.

That’s one of the reasons I don’t feel bad about pirating any more. Not even the cost, but the fact that if you pay you’re going to have a worse experience.

Am I too 1Gb/s fiber connected to understand that?

At least the performance gap somewhat justified the price. The other cards, mainly 4060 got little to no performance upgrade, yet cost more.

Learn it first.

I almost exclusively use it with my own Dockerfiles, which gives me the same flexibility I would have by just using VM, with all the benefits of being containerized and reproducible. The exceptions are images of utility stuff, like databases, reverse proxy (I use caddy btw) etc.

Without docker, hosting everything was a mess. After a month I would forget about important things I did, and if I had to do that again, I would need to basically relearn what I found out then.

If you write a Dockerfile, every configuration you did is either reflected by the bash command or adding files from the project directory to the image. You can just look at the Dockerfile and see all the configurations made to base Debian image.

Additionally with docker-compose you can use multiple containers per project with proper networking and DNS resolution between containers by their service names. Quite useful if your project sets up a few different services that communicate with each other.

Thanks to that it’s trivial to host multiple projects using for example different PHP versions for each of them.

And I haven’t even mentioned yet the best thing about docker - if you’re a developer, you can be sure that the app will run exactly the same on your machine and on the server. You can have development versions of images that extend the production image by using Dockerfile stages. You can develop a dev version with full debug/tooling support and then use a clean prod image on the server.

Funny you mention Safari, because you know, Safari is the only browser allowed on iOS. Every other browser has to use Safari to render web pages if they want to be in App Store - once again the only allowed source of packages.

Safari on iOS is literally worse than IE and Chrome combined.

Why you shouldn’t develop production grade software for Windows part 25.

The times just before social media. Internet was just modern enough to serve memes to thousands of users, yet it wasn’t treated as serious as now. It was literally wild west of digital world.

As a 1998 who had access to the internet during its wildest peak with no parental control at all (had internet since I was 10 years old), I do not agree with ANY parental control. Your kid is going to stumble upon these topics anyway, sooner or later, internet or real life.

Instead of preventing it - monitor it, and make sure you discuss it with them. Some years from now on, you will lose whole control over them, and then they won’t be easily persuaded.

Censorship creates people that are easily manipulated - no matter what your intentions are.

If you’re using Excel so much to the point that certain things can only be done in Excel on Windows, just learn Python.

Dafuq are you talking about? I’ve downloaded many random shit from Github on Windows to restore some basic UX functionality on W11, while I have never downloaded any software from Github repo on Linux, because everything I need is either on Ubuntu repo or some ppa or - shockingly - is built-in DE. And I’m a programmer and Linux is my daily driver.

Is SMTP out of question?

It is better than in most languages with exceptions, except from languages like Java, that require you to declare that certain method throws certain error.

It’s more tedious in Go, but at the end of the day it’s the same thing.

When I use someone else’s code I want to be sure if that thing can throw an error so I can decide what to do with it.
