Re:AI is removing the middle class of software engineering on Wednesday August 12, 2026 @12:50PM (#49275312)
The premise does not make any sense, it is a technical culture problem which you need to enforce. If you let it go wild, yes it will go wilder than ever but this is relatively trivial problem.
And what is the difference between cloud modeld vs local inference regarding this? It is still unclear in this thread - asking out of curiosity.

Honestly I like Hetzner a lot but lately it has been very unstable for us. https://status.hetzner.com/ this page always has couple of incidents happening at the same time. I really appreciate the services they provide but i wish they were more stable.
Re:I love the work of the ArchWiki maintainers on Sunday February 15, 2026 @12:46PM (#47025708)
The quality of Arch wiki is the reason I could get into Linux. And that pretty much defined my career. So I, probably like many of us, owe a lot to the Arch Linux maintainers.
The %73 is the official number, which is absurdly obscured. This research group is more accurate: https://enagrup.org/?hl=en which states that the yearly inflation is %160.

Also for some of the algorithms, AFAIK you may need some configuration changes to the ssh client which you are using to connect. Both client and server need to use the same algorithm.
Re:Firefox lost 50M users since 2019 on Saturday July 31, 2021 @08:44AM (#28017608)
My number one reason to use Firefox is uBlock Origin. It does an exceptional job and web is way more annoying without it.
Re:GitHub Should Start an App Store on Sunday January 31, 2021 @03:20PM (#25982186)
You already have a decentralized app store, namely Fdroid. I think it is pretty decent too. And it is the furthest we can go in decentralized app store right now.
Re:Vuejs rejects close to 75% of outside contributions on Sunday January 10, 2021 @05:38PM (#25720924)
Damn. They need to somehow discourage that. Do they blacklist those people?
I use Slide from fdroid. It really has all the features I would want and is very customizable.
Re:Grid – A Lua Game Engine on Sunday June 07, 2020 @03:43PM (#23450115)
Lua is a little confusing language for me because you need to throw out most of the things you know because it has its own way of doing things, it is not necessarily a bad thing but it is confusing. Luckily, it is a very small language so it wouldn't take that long to grasp it all. The most confusing thing was the fact that (almost) everything seems like a hashtable.

The article mostly consider both side and the main point is to flourish open source community, which is highly appreciable.

I think, as an outsider, both side had its wrongs and corrects, the author could consider changing unsafe code and the community could be at least civil.

As a personal opinion, i can say that we have to consider the fact that the authors of open source software are mostly doing it for hobby or fun. And if we ever want to keep open source alive and magnificent, we should be very civil and and at least thankful for the programmer and their time.

The only way out i see that could solve the issue was to fork the project and do the desired changes there. I dont know why they did not do that when it got to that point.

I totally agree, it seems too much inefficient. I only like to listen to podcast while i taking the metro, which is about half an hour long.
