It is always so funny to read Americans or Western Europeans saying "just overthrow your dictator bro". Usually told by people who never faced any political violence, or any violence for that matter.

I was born and live in the ex-Soviet country, and stating that Soviet governments fell without any bloodshed is a proof of ignorance.
Agreed. I suspect the shift in design occurred when the base assumption moved from "most users have never used a computer before" to "most users are familiar with computers".

Hello community,

We're Markus and Patric, two passionate developers who have navigated the complexities of IT ecosystems and high-pressure software teams for years. Like many of you, we’ve grappled with challenging work cultures, vague customer requirements, scope creep, and a lack of transparency—all under the weight of tight deadlines and unhealthy pressure. After exploring numerous tools, from industry giants to lesser-known platforms, we found that none could fully meet our needs with a 100% focus on IT specialization. That’s why we created BestCase—designed by developers for developers, designers, product owners, project managers, scrum masters, dev ops specialists, testers, and other IT professionals. BestCase cuts IT project planning time to under 5 minutes. It integrates everything from initial idea sketches to final solution findings, with AI-powered automation for cross-departmental steps. This framework supports genuine collaborative work, granting IT teams at least an additional 6 weeks for project execution and dramatically reducing time-to-market. BestCase is more than just another tool; it's a complete project management solution and a simulated IT ecosystem in a single browser tab. It eliminates the manual and cross-departmental work steps that cost you and your team thousands of minutes and consume immense amounts of time, so you can focus on what matters most. And the time to market for everything you successfully implement is drastically reduced at the same time.

Sign up at https://your.bestcase.work and revolutionize your IT projects today!

Best,
Markus

Started reading the first line and my thought immediately went to - this guy is going to have knee issues.

Rest and recover and slowly get into it.
Trump's case, were he innocent, wouldn't have been hard to win. Even if the prosecution alleged there were 100 possible crimes Trump tried to cover up with false documentation, the defense would only need to provide one reasonable intent that wasn't a crime. That would provide reasonable doubt.

The prosecution won this case by focusing on a specific crime the false documents were meant to conceal and providing a lot of evidence as to Trump's intent. The defense didn't offer a reasonable alternative intent for the false documents. Intent is usually very hard to prove in court, so it should be reassuring that this law has such a guardrail against abuse.
What do you mean, "deleted files" -- removed from the git staging area with "git rm", or actually deleted on the file-system level? (I don't think it ever added the latter, did it?)
>The question is which is worse, almost everyone getting away with it until/unless they have political enemies, or most everyone equally pretty much getting away with it.

Except they don't[0]. This is a pretty commonly prosecuted crime.

It reduces demand in the long term but not without a reorganization. The rich people who work in the city move to the city, reducing traffic demand. The poor people who ideally don't work in the city move away from it, reducing traffic demand. The "inner cities" gentrify. Traffic demand is reduced though.

Look at real estate price patterns in Munich vs Berlin. Berlin's pricing is relatively flat, because it's spread out and has lots of public transportation options. In Munich, prices peak a lot higher in the center, then taper off more quickly.
You know as much as I do that finding 2 yr old content is brutal. Especially given the volume of shitty media coverage the convoy received.

If you care enough about challenging your own beliefs, and if it's so easy, you'll do it yourself. I'm not going to waste my time and energy trying to convince random strangers on the internet. I know better.

I'm an "expat" living in Germany and am also thinking of moving to US/CA for the sake of living in a different environment that is more can-do, even if I don't end up starting my own thing.

I keep trying to convince myself that day-to-day life in Germany is great, e.g. low cost of living, low crime, etc. but I'm wondering if I'm just comparing to the worst parts of what I hear about the USA on the internet. It's a large place anyways.

i.e. what if I moved to a reasonably priced city with a similar crime rate, get a reasonable amount of insurance. Has anyone done that?
You don't throw away MacBooks, you sell them since they are valuable.

But my time has value too, and upgrading from Intel to the new M series did cut compilation times in half for a particular project I was working on. I'm not willing to sacrifice that much time to just keep on using an old machine.
Then there's the problem of reliability. Even if I have a spare MacBook lying around there's a non zero chance my work machine will die at a very inconvenient time (like on site at a customer or when working against a short deadline). After 5 years the bathtub curve starts going up and I don't want to depend on old hardware, even when it's working.

Due to things like this I’m quite wary of buying a high end Apple machine as workhorse even though I’ve become a big fan of their products. Though I’m currently using an M1 and 2018 MacBook Pro without any problems they are company issued so I haven’t paid anything.

Of late I’ve been getting this idea of building a high end desktop PC with Linux as a daily workhorse and use the lowest end MacBook for cases when I have to move around the house or work from office. When I’m paying $3000+ I expect local shops to be able to repair and service them without the manufacturer throwing a tantrum.
Thanks! I'm currently working on a guide on how to build RFID poker table with more breakdowns around the build more posts coming soon!

There seems to be a phenomena I observe in the FOSS community where we reflexively respond to suggestions despite them being far beneath their FOSS alternatives. Only after digging or running into issues, do you find the good stuff.

Brand name -> Low quality, highly mentioned -> High quality, rarely mentioned

Photoshop-> GIMP -> Krita

Windows -> Debian-family/Ubuntu/Mint -> Fedora

I almost feel like a religious Zealot when I teach people that Krita>>>GIMP, Fedora>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Debian-family. Its unpaid work, its moral work. People shouldn't have to suffer with low quality products because something was popular a few years ago.
If you're looking for something local, we develop an app for macOS and Windows that let's you search and talk to local files and data from cloud apps: https://curiosity.ai
For the AI features, you can use OpenAI or local models (the app uses llama.cpp in the background, it ships with llama3 and a few other models, and we're soon going to let you use any .gguf model)
> Depends on how you look at it. WASM itself doesn't have any browser specific features (and on purpose), it's a universal bytecode VM designed with strict sandboxing in mind.

I know, but other than being able to run it in the browser, does WASM have any other benefits over compiling into C, LLVM, etc?

This is a design choice. Building a device optimized for repairability is possible and has been realized by Framework [1]. Of course it doesn't have to be all-out modularity, but an intermediate solution is easily possible. Vote with your wallets, don't allow a market to appear where only devices exist which are built to work against you.

It's not "collectively a choice", the gains are accumulating at the top, and the fat cats have no reason to tell people they can work less now.
Well, I don't know. Like I said, I've been going to the same place for years, and they've done battery replacements and other work for me before, and I've never had a problem. It doesn't seem plausible that they would turn away business.

Which state are you in?
I recently prepared a small presentation to explain my job to kids in secondary school. I realized many of the products I have worked on are completely obsolete and most of them lie in garbage somewhere. Of course I still fondly remember that hard to fix bug, 10x optimization, smart code trick. But in the end little of it remains but in my own memories. In would say "half-ass it" and use "the other half" for some something truly useful. I am quite far from being able to do it though.
I feel the pain. If I was running my own business I would probably have a macbook and a desktop either a mini or studio. The machines are cheap tools and better than having to worry about downtime.
"blame Europe" and "blame immigrants" have had their claws in the UK electorate for longer than the younger generations have existed.

That guy that lit himself on fire outside of Wall Street highlighted this product in his manifesto/blog thing. He placed fairly high value on the significance of it being a primary source of life labeled as it's exact opposite - an example of the US being a death cult.

I wonder if he'll see this article from his hospital bed and realize it's just bc Gen Z guys are too chicken to order water if they actually do manage to make it into a bar.

I actually tend bar occasionally and from my experience Gen Zs often go out as group and don't drink alcohol at all - I don't understand.

You can your bartender to get you water in a "drink glass" with a shot of cream or a NA coke in a "drink glass" - there are other ways than supporting this to avoid looking less

Plus - first thing I'd ask is about that drink
Here is to surviving and thriving in the face of the nth nthifada.
Having worked building out a RAG SaaS platform for the past year and having worked on the vendor side of several keyword-based search systems in the past 10 years, I can say it's absolutely necessary to have some kind of hybrid search for most use cases I've seen.

The problem is that most people don't have experience optimizing even 1 of the retrieval systems (vector or keyword), so a lot of users that try to DIY build end up with an awful time trying to get to prod. People are talking about things like RRF (which are needed) but then missing other big-picture things like the mistakes everyone makes when building out a keyword search (not getting the right language rules in place) and also not getting the right vector side (finding the right embedding models, chunking strategies, etc).

I recognize I have a bit of a conflict of interest since I'm at a RAG vendor, but I'll abstain from the name/self-promotion and say: I've seen so many cases where people get this wrong, if you're thinking RAG you really should be hiring a consultant or looking at a complete platform from people that have done it more. Or be prepared to spend a lot of cycles learning and iterating
Suburban Scandinavia, so we live in a relatively safe bubble. It sounds like in some other countries we'd be reported to some kind of protective services for child abandonment or neglect.
I think it applies to most STEM fields. I'm a reviewer for several journals in a STEM field (not AI/ML specifically, but some manuscripts do try to apply AI/ML to this field) and the vast majority of authors seem to upload their preprints to arxiv etc.

Social sciences may be behind though as you say, I do not know as I'm not in that field.
I like it, would prefer a really condensed list instead of this.

Also, why do I get *featured Mandos products if the goal is to create the largest curated directory? Are you trying to get others to pay you to get featured or are you trying to increase your sales?

I’d be fascinated to see the geographic and demographic distribution of HOAs. In American Suburbia basically every neighborhood I’ve seen has an HOA. But in some cities I’ve lived they seem completely absent.

I’m guessing there was a particular (white flighty) period of time and kind of people who really wanted these things. Neighborhoods built before this time don’t have them, and newer buildings (at least where I live) don’t seem to have them either. So these may be mostly phenomena of a specific period.
Try to change roles or companies?

I don't mean this flippantly here, it's a crap situation to find yourself in but sometimes people just don't get along, or people are just not great, and you do need to know when to cut your losses and make a move.
Just got my Framework 16 and I highly recommend it. Sure, it is not as sleek but overall very well engineered. I was inconvenienced by having my charge port on the left side, so i just swapped the port to the right. Lovely device :)
Boys (and girls) follow pro-social behavior for boys (and girls)

It seems to me that US culture, especially politically, drives 0 or 1 thought, and those into computers seem to end up there often too.

But it often isn't "one or the other". Outside of individual differences, men and women are different. And, also affected by culture.

It's both you see, both genetics and culture which affects how one acts, behaves.

Take a non-sexual trait, stubbornness. People are born stubborn, others are born with no backbone at all. Obviously, we have a societal norm, an expected degree of backbone / stubbornbess which is an ideal.

If your child is born too stubborn, you will coach them to be less so. And if with no backbone, you will attempt to foster assertiveness, etc. You will try to get your child to be able to navigate society as best as you can.

And this is why there is no fixed way to raise a child. Each child is a unique blend of genes, and thus needs a unique approach. It is also why, in many cases, "not doing what my parents did!", doesn't often jive. The very thing you didn't need, may be what your child does need!

I guess my point is, yes there are genetic differences between men and women. These differences show up in every part of the body, including the brain. And yet, on top of that each child is unique, and needs a tailored upbringing, which is really how you raise a child to fit into current culture.

Of course, our children and great grandkids will think we're dumbasses, will lament the "dumb things" we did, and how we raised them. Just as we do somewhat of our ancestors, and they too back to the dawn of our sentience.

Kinda beautiful, in a way.
hbomberguy’s “Woke Brands” video is pretty good on how corporations use these things that people care about and disagree about to sell more product and obscure their true behaviour.
Shameless plug, you can use bash to parse a .INI configuration file.

It leverages a one-liner awk:

Exercise for exercise sake is something I just can't do. My brain won't allow it as I get too bored.
This sounds superb. We need more coverage than just North America though.
Reminds me of the "pencil trick" to overclock CPUs in the late 90s/early 00s. You'd rub a pencil over contacts on the CPU to bridge them, which would unlock the clock multiplier.
Magic the Gathering (MTG) podcasts could really benefit from a video version where the discussed cards are shown but creating such a video takes hours or even days.

I made a slide show generator which only takes minutes.

Input is lines of text with MTG card names separated by the | character.

Load one of the presets and click "Start Slideshow", then you can screen record and navigate slides with the arrow characters.
The different icon colors and shapes help a lot. It doesn't look uniform, and this is actually a big plus, as there's less thinking required to identify the target. The new interface looks nicer, but interfaces should focus on being usable, not just look good. Sometimes this means getting out of the way and being unobtrusive. Other times, it means standing out more.

The modern Krita (which is not the final picture in the article) still does well. Most of the UI icons have clearly identifiable shapes, information density is even higher than in the old versions, and the style is still following the current fashion, with less color and a darker theme.
What is the ultimate delivery after all this work? Did it correlate/track the same people across multiple video feeds, for instance?

Haha, thank you. I had actually changed it to "expand" before I noticed your comments because it sounded weird but I couldn't remember the correct word.
Yep that is exactly the feeling which prevents me from buying Apple products for private use. I have no motivation of paying a premium if the manufacturer is going to make things more difficult for me. I want to make my experience easier, not harder, when I pay more.

In contrast, I had no problem buying a Steam Deck the moment it came out (even though I had never bought gaming hardware before) because I had confidence that the customer experience is going to be better.
Get a jog/weights in whenever you can. Doenst matter how less - even a short 200 m light run will help. Dont over do it - if any body part is sore, let it rest. Jogging even a very short distance, kills any craving i have for junk food. Also helps clear up the mind and helps make important decisions. Also imo, nothing beats a regular Yoga practise if you are able to find time/coach.
A lot of them, yes. Half of U.S. states allow their schools or school districts to make their own rules regarding guns in schools. About a dozen states explicitly allow concealed firearms in schools.

Edit to help those confused about U.S. and states' laws: The 1990 Gun-free School Act doesn't apply to concealed firearms. 32 states allow teachers and school employees to bring guns to school (with some restrictions). States that explicitly allow concealed firearms in schools in some form or another are Alabama, Alaska, Idaho, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming.
My Latitude 7370 is just about perfect. With gnome power profiles, I can easily switch between power saver, balanced, and performance, suspend/resume works fine. All peripherals work out of the box. It has a crisp 3200x1800 touchscreen that works great under Gnome. It is pretty much my perfect Linux laptop. I only wish the battery life was better, and that it had a more powerful CPU. It is fanless, so it throttles pretty quickly under load.

I ran some tests, and completely idle at 30% brightness I can get 7h under Linux and 8h under Windows, so Linux still has some room for improvement. But as someone who uses Windows at work, there is no way I could go back to that personally. Not unless they released an open source version completely cleaned of crapware and bloat. The Enterprise / IOT versions are the closest I’ve come to that.

Yup, some of the keys on my 2016 MacBook Pro started not working reliably and thankfully Apple had their extended warranty program for that and they replaced the entire top cover (keyboard, trackpad, aluminum housing) + battery. This was about 5 years after buying it. It was pretty nice because I had like 1200 cycles on the battery or something crazy like that!

Here is a good one: deleting billions of objects can be expensive if you call delete APIs.

However you can set a wildcard or bucket wide object expiry of time=now for free. You’ll immediately stop being charged for storage, and AWS will manage making sure everything is deleted.

3.5-turbo performance wasn't very good though, and according to API statistic analysis it's a Nx7B model so it's already rather small. Ultimately Llama-3-8B is already better in all measurable metrics except multilingual translation, but that's not saying much.
