As a proud European citizen, I visited your site… and… wait… WHERE IS MY SACRED COOKIE BANNER?? This is outrageous. Are you seriously trying to serve me content without first psychologically torturing me with 47 sliders and a philosophy essay about legitimate interest?? I checked the dev tools… zero cookies?? …excuse me?? Are you even trying to be GDPR compliant or are you just openly mocking the entire European project??

Your project is awesome by the way

Re:I made a down detector for down detector on Wednesday November 19, 2025 @02:39AM (#45976849)
As a European solo developer, I’ve switched entirely to European alternatives for all my infrastructure since the beginning of the year.

Cloudflare > Bunny.net

AWS > Hetzner

Business email > Infomaniak

Not a single client site has experienced downtime, and it feels great to finally decouple from U.S. services.

My HP screen (HP Aero 13, not a gaming laptop, with a integrated gpu only) does flicker, turning completely off and then on, and this issue doesn't appear when connecting to external monitor. The same happens under linux as well. This post had me curious about the ACPI now... maybe I can follow along !
Great analysis, well done ! Since you've already done VSCode, Trae, Cursor, can you analyse Kiro (AWS fork). I'm curious about their data collection practices.
I remember growing up I watched a documentary on telekinesis. It concluded that people with high amounts of iron on their blood could move items from distance
The new 13 laptop has a resolution that allows for 200% scale exactly!
Re:An independent package manager that every hacker deserves on Thursday November 30, 2023 @03:27AM (#38471136)
Wouldn't it be easier to make a `snap install x x x x ` Or `flatpak install x x x x` script ? Isn't this type of issue what those two project's aim to solve ?

Doesn't hitting one of them be good enough for chainlink reaction due to space debris? They are all on the same height and pretty close to each other.
I think he means technical achievements (5nm,7+?) occurred increasing the demand by the companies for new nm, and at the same time the pandemic increased the demand
600 days. If he wanted he could've easily hacked the tracker and remove it. That's a lot of time to tinker with a box

Re:jQuery 3.6.0 on Tuesday March 02, 2021 @03:59PM (#26320635)
I'm on the same boat, super productive with php/twig/jquery. But recently my boss gave my a side project without any specific requirements, 10 charts and 2-3 tables with their associated crud. I made everything with react + php, and oh my god that site is super fast. It's eye opening!

Huh. Not a single mention of the word AI. Yes i believe AI refactoring/assistance will be awesome. Also Rust. Please Jetbrains remake IDEA in Rust! We need faster ide's and lower latency
How do they know that the dead heart will not die again? Do they repair it before transplant ? Also shouldn't the heart be from an equally aged human?
Yeah but the actual raid card got kaput. Interesting recovery process. (Basically read the firmware and flash to another card as far as i remember)

Re:Open Source Thinkpad T420 Battery Design on Sunday August 30, 2020 @06:26AM (#24322517)
If the companies where open to repair the technician/end user would say "Hey Apple, i need a battery for the 6S" There's no need for DRM.
