This decision has, effectively, turned LMMs into a supply chain risk.

Before this incident I’d gladly use any anthropic LLM in production features. Right now, this has become a risky decision that can tank my business overnight.

As long as E2E encryption is not guaranteed and we rely on id verification, the only thing this can do is to limit the 3rd parties that can easily access your data. Everything else is in the air

In the age of staple shenanigans from the US with tariffs and AI prohibition, I find this to be an adequate response.

Oh please, it hit two euros a liter thanks to the orange turd

As someone whose mother died to pancan, I could really care less on any of the brainwashed old farts in their churches or parliaments. None of that matters to me or the people suffering from cancers, it’s al Knut a selfish obstruction attaching religion to the research material

Win partition will make you want to cry.

Win insists on bootlocker/secure boot, meanwhile most of the Linux doesn’t boot with it or you have to go though hell and back to install unsigned drivers (nvidia, gentle-yall).

I’d all say that Linux is like living in a car with 0 euros and saving up for a house. Simple user can scrape by, but mowing dev work life to Linux is much harder than to Mac. VPNs, inconsistent distro support for weird work stuff and such will make you spend days to weeks of unpaid overtime to get comfortable

I find this mostly applies to the competitive games due to most standard anti cheat apps not working outside win32.

Oh it did help.

Microsoft went all in on do more with less and fired/reorged significant part of the company.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the outage is caused by new team taking something over with near zero documentation while all the tribal knowledge was torched away

I’ve tried multiple versions when trying to move away from windows, but was always stuck with random inconsistencies everywhere. Eventually I had to choose a larger evil and choose Mac after paying for a week of lost productivity installing, setting up, fucking up, wiping l, installing random Linux distros.

Out of curiosity, why are the shortcuts different?

I get the notion of shortcut conflicts, but, at a glance, this should be a trivial one click setup to set the desired shortcut config, wouldn’t it?

Every PR has to match their way exactly.

The logic, the method names, the test names, code in the log messages.

Does not matter what the output or complexity is, does not matter how the previous state of the code in the area looks like, it. Must. Look. And. Read. Their. Way.

A 3 file PR review can take weeks. There was once a PR for a new feature that took 1.5 years and 2 developers (the og op left the company 3 months into having opened this PR) to eventually merge.

total trade right now.

This move is obviously an attempt to decouple themselves from the States

There is none to be found. The people need to play the zombie apocalypse - arm and survive.

The main players: - current government - local army - invading army - chinese and Russian proxies - multiple smaller groups - opposition

And probably more will play the power struggle in the foreseeable future. Unaffiliated people will somehow need to find a way to navigate this mess

20 year old software is probably also going to have a hard time running on windows 11, even with all their compatibility layers packed up

Europe is doing a pretty good job on slowly veering off this addiction. Might be worth reaching out to them for knowledge sharing or two

The very point that Microsoft devs need two machines in their work, one to do dew stuff, another - with its own special flavor of locked down windows - to touch anything that is even remotely similar to prod (including staging with no real data) says a lot about Microsoft stance on developers and power users ..

It was different for me. I tried to move from Windows to Linux multiple times, but my Dell just refused to run it reliably no matter what. After fidling with multiple distros I finally bit the bullet and went for a mac. I cant be more happier to have a Linux experience without the Linux pains.

Note that there certainly are quirks around arm64, however, coming from windows, i am no stranger to have to deal with such issues so they bother me less.

The best thing is, that i can confidently put mac into my backpack without worries of it performing a suicide due to not-fully-sleeping (common windowns issue)

Meanwhile I finally bought into apple after my nth unsuccessful attempt to break into linux.

I just want a linux-like system that is not mainful to use and apple's is the closest thing that worked for me without resorting to last ditch efforts like sacrificing virgin maidens or newborn kittens on top of my Dell machine... and Apple provides one that just works ... reliably

Yet I have met very few truly bad engineers in my life. Most of the "bad" ones were not bad in skills, but a bad match due to their willingness to die on one hill or another and complete refusal to work with others.

Yet, most of the interviews put way too little focus on the soft skills and way too much focus on the hard skills.

I need high ram laptop for work. It it way too expensive and slow to hibernate 128gigs laptop every few hours

I find it useful to ask it to build a design document first and push to add details where i see it lacking.

After a few iteration i then ask it to implement the design doc to mostly-better results.

For me it fixed a library compatibility issue with React 19 in 10 mins and several nudges startign from the console error and library name.

It would have been a half-day worth of adventure at least should i have done it myself (from diagnosing to fixing)

I would suggest adding a gender filter on each chart. Right now, all the data is tailored towards a male user.

Note that the limit only applies to base OpenWRT installation. I have successfully configured my ancient router to boot from the router's USB storage (64gig flash drive)

Better than avg(China) - sure.

Better than tier1(China), where most of the research happens - the salaries in China are easily beating Japan and significant portion of the EU "centers" on top of having significantly lower cost of living on most of the relevant dimensions.

I wish that Linux would at least try to seriously copy the UX of the MacOS. If apple can make a desktop OS that jsut works, why do i have to break my back on: - Figure out which distro actually works on a "linux teady (tm)" hardware - installing vpn in Linux - cycle between different package managers looking for an up-to-date version of a software that I need - not need to worry about differences between different distros and death by a thousand small gaps between them - have a reliable and secure faceid that leverages dedicated hardware, not needing to compromise on security on the easier to break and flunky photo-id

etc, etc.

I hate windows with all my heart, but I can only see myself migrating to MacOS. I've tried migrating to Linux multiple times, but it always ended in multiple days of googling, copying miles of bash woodoo from the internet (lots of it, and too many issues to have time to understand what I am pasting), and other issues that make the barrier of entry just too high.

One takeaway here is that the university is mostly a theoretical course, that is targeted partly towards the apprentice partly towards the master paths.

Out of all the interns i've worked with and hired, it is evident that a university diploma does not guarantee someone to be at a journeyman level, and more likely than otherwise hints towards a mid-level apprentice

As someone who has to communicate in multiple languages, sometimes in a single conversation, apple's keyboard is useless.

Swift allows me to configure multiple languages to be active at once allowing to type without bothering which of the languages is currently active

There are also plenty of virtual groups around that offers p2p interviews (each side interviews another).

These might be better for initial warmup as the only cost is an extra hour of your time (but it also allows you to experience the interview from the interviewer's perspective).

I'm more surprised at how openly he did this kind of stuff. They even have Goole office in China, how he was not worried about getting pinged randomly!
