Can you force a non-parallel build of those rust crates to make the comparison fairer?
The grass is always greener for some problem somewhere.

Try doing what you write on a (corporate) Windows machine with NTFS and file filters

Yes indeed, that will be a much better road to a durable, maintainable, secure and agile product than focusing on product goals in a higher level language with a framework.

When will we start using LLMs to write my web backend directly in UEFI and assembler? (Although uefi is an OS, so maybe more fair to exit the boot services)

Yes, by running models locally

I’d argue they both admin that Linux servers are the target for a lot of applications to run on. Not to develop on.
Tesla is not marked as a gatekeeper by the EU and thus the law does not apply.

I’m really interested how you got these numbers. Using some of the daycare providers in our most expensive city (Amsterdam) with an obscene collective income (250k) with 5 full days of daycare (which not many parents even want) I get net 1300 per child.

For 3 days with more normal incomes it is closer to 700-800 euros

Adyen has resellers. Mollie is one example, they do have. Get Started and no lower limit. These smaller parties rely on the bank license of Adyen
Re:WSL 2 is getting faster Windows file system access on Friday June 05, 2026 @02:20AM (#48408693)
Windows _is_ garbage for a lot of modern development (except thise targeting Win32). But that does not matter to the ICT department tasked with controlling and securing all endpoints, preferring a single, very well known and controllable OS over freedom and performance.
Re:WSL 2 is getting faster Windows file system access on Friday June 05, 2026 @02:17AM (#48408667)
Anything with node_modules takes ages on my Windows machine, whether it is through WSL, Docker or direct, largely in part due to corporate filters, checks, anti-virus and malware protectors and endpoint control.

Google is also pushing Chrome on all their other apps. Google Maps keeps asksing me in what browser to open a link; putting Chrome first: I don’t have Chrome installed.

And that on top of the EEE-steps with all the non-standards they keep implementing.

If you count -all of europe- as a developing country, sure.

In europe we never had free unlimited texts. Internet was cheaper than calling/texting, especially with everyone having wifi at home and work. So a cross-platform messaging app appeared and has replaced text and calling.

Instead you rent, and your landlord agrees that it is fine.

So now you look at a shitty fence. Which you could have done when owning the house too

Thats the top level though, attainable with 10-15 years of ‘lead java dev’ experience. That is different from 10-15 years of java experience
Lets skip California, the 5th biggest economy in the world.

Re:Hardware Attestation as Monopoly Enabler on Sunday May 10, 2026 @09:25PM (#48090038)
I think they are saying the signed ID can be copied to another device. Unless such ID needs to have acces to some TPM that can be trusted, which likely requires then specific trusted hardware and software

Whatever clever crypto system you think of: if it needs to work for the general population, it needs to go hand-in-hand with UX.

Say your example: a user generates a pub/priv keypair locally and shares the public one with the government. How does the government know you’re rightfully sending the ID? How does the user know what they are sending? Can the app/website/tool/person at post office they are using to generate+store+send the public key be trusted by the user? How can the government give trust to the user that this tool/person can be trusted?

And there we have attestation again. Or walled app stores, or certification as we have for physical services.

Everything here except EUV are company names.
Once this is actually needed, they can add a feature for marking someone as deceased. It could freeze the relationships, disallow new ones, disallow any new content, mark person as dead.
I find it confusing: for me a clear indicator the game is paused is all animations also pausing. Some games do not pause in menu’s, for example. And some do, but not when in a multiplayer session

A person can be blamed though. And people have a social fabric with understanding about human mistakes or even about people having lied to your etc.

We have no such thing for AI yet.

This exact thing happens too often. We try to use fancy technology to solve a non-texhnical problem.

With or without blockchain you end up at court. If you build a decentralized trust system, the builder of the system needs to be trusted. If you want to use decentralized trust to do your taxes or other government communication you still need to trust your government. These are all actual examples i’ve encountered.

You pretty much always end up at the legal system. If there js anything to make big impact on it would be that. But that requires world-wide revolution.
