This made me browse through my StackOverflow history. Funny to see how I though I was such a skilled developer, though the questions I asked and the answers I gave 16 years ago... cringe.

Made look up some of my game stuff from back in the day, but the apps are not in the store (after 15 years, to be expected) oh well...

I was shopping for this past weekend. I found a 16core 128gb-ram(1!) unit for 110€/month with a competitor. Crazy deal. I suspected it to be a mistake, but after 24 hours it actually came online. Runs very smooth.

I think it's a vary valid option to launch swarms of datacenters into space. I think a few decades to a hundred years from now, it will be the norm. Until then, we can find plany of land to do it. Instead a launch, you just need a battery. Much cheaper. All the rest stays the same.

It's why they're cheap though. I fly around Europe for 30 euro's. If this is how that works, it works. And after hundred+ flights with them, believe me, I have had my share or RyanScam. I just play their game and laugh.

I love a free documentary about something that I'm passionate about. So many thanks.

However, I'm a my own kind of weird. I cannot watch a documentary that's made out of people saying short sentences. I get that it's made to 'have them tell the story', but I need a narrator to tell me what to think because I get distracted.

Still lots of love to the creators, of course.

I've had about 4 generations of surface devices. Never again. The frustration of that SP4 where every bodies screen would jitter and they would just stoiclly send me a replacement with the same problem. Until warranty expired.

Or every model after that just slowed down to a crawl after a year. Or the keyboard connection not working reliably.

No thank you very much.

Interesting, I'm not aware of that many nodejs alternatives...

It's good to have some options, to prevent the ecosystem from stalling

Might be a good laptop, but we're trying to use less and less Google. I feel like the name isn't working in it's advantage.

I'm moving very slowly into AI coding. I'm not comfortable enough to let Claude do anything big. What I do is this: I set out general architecture, create function stubs and add comments on how to implement things. Then I let Claude do 10 minutes of work and I check everything and refactor some of it. It saves me on boring implantation stuff (like, is this an array, move an index here or there, check for whatever exists or not, put it in the db)

I've been working from a ARM windows laptop for a year now and have gotten so used to a full day of battery, I don't even bring a charger anymore. I would love a framwork or Starfigher laptop, but I don't feel like the batterylife on intel and amd is there yet?

Played it for a few cycles. I feel like the elevators are a bit bugged, they keep idle in the lobby why people are waiting to get on (and turning red)
