News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

This has been my observation living in the EU.

Two regions that have been capitalising from skilled programmers and that hardly anyone talks about are the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Speaking of aesthetics, I switched back to VSCode but I ended up installing the theme "Zed One Theme" and switched the editor's font to "IBM Plex Mono".

I know it's not Zed, but I am pretty satisfied with the results.

Ok, how big was your project?

My JetBrains IDEs (RustRover, Goland) probably would have choked out too.

Strange take for a Danish living in the US.

For some reason I always had a feeling about him. Perhaps I couldn’t understand why a guy that did so well in life like him found so much time to pick fights on Twitter. With the kind of money he had, I’d pay to be anonymous.

It used to be simpler and focused on capturing text. Slowly they turned into an alternative to Confluence, Trello, Jira, ChatGPT's UI, ad infinitum.

Most people got hooked before it was that convoluted.

Sure, as long as consumers are not forced to update which will justify a subscription model.

The author wrote about why he opposes such rewrites. You might not agree with him but you will get him… once you read the article.

I reckon that the ecosystem would have been much healthier if NPM had not been kept running without the care it requires.

If it were possible, how would you have prevented your Trigger account from being abused once a bad actor got its connection details by inspecting your FE app with DevTools?
I stand corrected.

As a fellow EU citizen that came from a “third world country” I can’t help but to be surprised about 3 things:

- How slowly but surely the EU and its members are becoming exactly like the governments of said third world countries. (I’ve lived through them, trust me, I know)

- How unaware most citizens are about EU’s power hungriness. The same EU that hasn’t yet apologised for their attempt to clean up the US mess in the Middle East by taking on the displaced people from that region without proper integration plans.

- The fellow Europeans have little clue about the shit-show and corruption in Brussels. It’s rotten.

The Danish showing their claws. The grass isn’t greener.
Can we flag this post? It doesn't add value to the platform.

Soon or later we will default to analog means. It’s not looking good.

How much compute/gpu and hard dollars would hackers need in order to reverse engineers those stollen passwords?

We have got to stop. In a universe of well over 25 million programmers a sample of 791 is not significant enough to justify such headlines.

We’ve got to do better than this, whatever this is.

You describe it as if it’s a bad thing. It’s your brain working as intended.

Now, you can be strategic about staying sharp about topics that interest you.

The issue with that is where do they draw the line. Next thing you know each country becomes North Korea.
Dude, that’s a killing machine, someone will always end up dead.

I would think that much more people would share the same beliefs. Why would I want to eat lab grown salmon?

I’d rather eat non-lab grown salmon once a month or once a quarter than eating that f—— aberration.

Re:Discussing politics at work: Don't, just don't on Monday August 18, 2025 @10:09AM (#44940810)
This post is very simplistic.

—-

You live in a country called Politistan, you own a tech startup in which 75% of engineers are foreigners on a PL-VISA. A new party comes into power, and draft a proposal do abolish said visa.

Do you expect your employees - that could be at risk of not being able to renew their visas - to not discuss politics at work?

—-

I know my example is flawed, I don’t have a good proposal either, but hard “Don’t, just don’t” isn’t enough for extreme cases.

They shouldn’t, but each bailout should be accompanied by consequences for the execs and partial nationalisation of the company. Companies that big should see the German government as the devil they never want rely on.

That’s my view - which I stole from N. N. Taleb - on how to deal with too-big-to-fail companies.

It's possible that they are uncertain about the path to monetisation. As far as I see, it's either subscriptions or selling ads.
