My small data point:
A few days ago I wanted my obsidian notes on a linux machine. Well, the files are synced via iCloud Drive (no Linux), so I asked it to solve it across my devices. It used Syncthing which has been working great.
Then yesterday obsidian desktop stopped loading (probably a bug in a plugin?). I’ve always wanted to do my notes in the browser, so it forked https://files.md and set it up on my home server pointed at my sync folder.
I was of the mindset that I’d not want to self host my day to day tooling, happy to pay, but it seems having the ability to run open source tools where I can say “just fix it” is too convenient to ignore.
Humans (IQ of X, non deterministic) can write deterministic code.
AI (IQ of Y, non deterministic) can write deterministic code.
Y is going to keep increasing, while X will not.
Love or hate Omarchy, it's movements like that which are finally going to convince diehard macos users to consider a more open and controllable OS. Small annoyances can be ignored, but after a while, there is too much noise.
I am sure my Macbook uses a RNG to decide whether or not I can use touch ID to unlock.
Obsidian is just one example of how powerful local apps can be with a generic sync behind them (icloud sync, gdrive, obsidian sync, etc)
Curious, when you calculate 8-10yr payoff, are you taking into account the last 10-20 year kwh cost inflation trend as well?
Yeah. I get that adversaries can capture their own high res satellite photos and determine this, but this is just handing it to them on a silver platter.
Firefox on iOS is just a wrapper around Safari, since that is all Apple allows.
There is a reasonable argument that there won’t be many new languages now that models are sufficiently trained. If anything, we may see languages optimized for models and not humans.
Same for me and a particular North Face light jacket. I’ve purchased the same model about 5 times, with noticeably lower quality materials in the more recent years. Faster wear, quicker fading colors, thinner.
I think there’s a good chunk of the SF tech event scene built around pulling in qualified email addresses, too. “Apply to attend”
Maybe centralizing the internet wasn’t a great idea after all, huh
> but so many people have a religious level hatred of public employees
Are you sure this is the issue here? Seems there are lots of regulations around how much public employees can be paid (usually too low for skilled IT), how easy it is to move or fire them, etc. Sounds much easier to just hire a contractor.
Cloudflare is not a solution. Only leading to a further centralized internet.
Render also pushes MinIO as their recommended equivalent to S3 for their customers (using docker), similar to Bucketeer on Heroku.

Hopefully this will finally push Render to build their own S3 wrapper.

Have you ever taken a Waymo? You see them on every street in SF now.
I too miss the days of phpBB an IPB forums. Circle.so has come the closest to replicating some of that interface / vibe, but as expected, their pricing has crept up beyond a reasonable point for small projects / communities. The answer seems to be something self hosted.
On a similar note, does anyone notice the issue of most official temperature readings in different climates often reading 5+C lower than what is actually observed locally?
Not sure why you're downvoted, it's an entirely valid question.
What we'll probably see is, celebrity look-alikes will be contacted to license out their own "features".
Just remember, you can continue to do artisanal programming as a hobby or for your own projects. But if you have an employer, they're paying you for functional and secure features, not lines of code.
A simple explanation of what this does, shown somewhere on the page, would go a long way.
