According to Jevons paradox this will likely lead to more electricity used and more CO2 being released to the atmosphere, because it makes it more profitable to build another data center.
I've subscribed to Kagi for three of years now. Kagi is still great, but it doesn't feel like "Google ten years ago" anymore. I don't think it is because Kagi got worse, rather it is the web that has become worse. The content nowadays kinda sucks.
It's only been 2.5 years since they said that. I'm sure they will walk back on their word before it has been 7 years.
I think we need to change our perspective of what success is. I believe there will be a ton of small companies popping up instead of a few big ones that eats everyone's lunch. Like Google, Microsoft and others giants have done until now.
What is there to be studied? Once a company is acquired you bounce. There is usually a two year grace period before you start feeling the pain as a customer, which should give you the time to migrate.
Bunny has their own infra while Turso relies on a cloud provider (AWS) which is unfortunately a no-go for many European companies
Who would have thought forcing one developer to write a million lines of code each month would have negative consequences
This is nothing new: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsch
Yes, TurboPack is for legacy projects that can't update from Webpack, but still want some bundle speed improvements.
The main divide now is client side React versus Server Components usually with a node.js backend
So the future is NixOS for non-technical people?
It says 75% of the engineer team. There might be other roles not affected.
Maybe for developers, but I can't imagine most people going back to the terminal. The smartphones won and has the largest market. It would be especially awkward to use a terminal on a touch display. Maybe with voice this will be easier, but I doubt people want to go around in public talking and giving instructions to their phone. UIs are here to stay.
I got it last year, as a man in my early 30s. My doctor didn't believe me but his eyes widened as I showed him the rash. It took him one second to say that is shingles, with no doubt. If you get it you have to get to the doctor ASAP to get the antiviral medicine before it spreads. It is the most painful thing I have gone through.
I'm pretty sure I got is because of stress. I quit my job, sold my home and all my stuff to travel for a year. I was awarded shingles the week after handing in my resignation.
I wonder if this is the new normal? Weekly Cloudflare outages that breaks huge parts of the internet.
It’s a catch-22: why build a RISC-V CPU if there’s no software for it, and why write software if there’s no CPU to run it?
The way Microsoft are ruining Windows makes it seem like enterprise users are the tech debt they want to get rid off. Like making their servers non-deterministic by serving random ads or leaking secret content to their AI. It makes sense that they would rather have their customers run Linux on Azure, so they don't have to do R&D for their own OS.
I don't think they claim they are using semver. Lots of companies/projects use "major" releases just for the added hype.
They would want the user base, i.e. those who has gone out of their way to pick something different, than Microsoft/Atlassian, like Notion
This will be the replacement for my iPhone 13 mini. Although I wish they would make another mini instead.
All or nothing mentally wont get you very far. You're digital device is probably made in China, but that doesn't mean you'll want to store your personal data in a Chinese data center. I try to choose European whenever possible and avoid or limit the use of American, Chinese, and Russian tech.
I mean sure, as long as it runs on the server. Personally I feel JSX is way more expressive. The JSX I write runs on server side rendering to HTML. That way there will be no flash of unstyled content, cumulative layout shift, or any other jank. It looks correct even before the javascript has been downloaded, except it isn't interactive yet.
Yeah, it does require some more boilerplate. I abstract some of it JSX, and with LLMs writing boilerplate code isn't that annoying anymore.
I don't see the need for Lit anymore. Lately I have just been raw dogging web components without any libraries. Having a nice templating system like JSX on the server makes it a breeze.
Part of using web components, for me, is that it is just javascript. There is no upgrades or deprecations to think about. Of course those things still exist on the server though, but it is easier to maintain it there.
You can spend less than double, what Digitalocean charges for 8 cores, at Hetzner and get ten times more cores on a single machine
Naive question: why not put the effort into building the RoR apps into a binary and run the all services with systemd? No need to deal with Docker and the entire ecosystem around it
Mistral doesn't seem to train on user data for the non-free models, but you can opt out on the free models.

It's not Microsoft, which is kind of a big deal because they own so much of developer tool ecosystem right now
Counter argument: people want simple systems that are easy to update, secure, deploy etc. I've been burned so many times by being an early adopter of a simple product for it to add too many features and shifting focus along the way, leaving the early adopters as second class users. This usually happens because investors wants a return on their investment by enshittifying the product.
As self hosting with Docker and getting help from LLMs gets easier I can totally see a future where more companies self host. Having to deal with SaaS companies also takes a lot of time (licenses, hidden limits you can reach at any time, more complex privacy policy, approval from management), especially as they usually end up selling after a couple of years. The responsibility to self host isn't that bad all things considered.
I don't think we'll see companies vibe code the replacement of their software, but it might help them self host open source alternatives.
The older I get the more skeptical I get to free services that run on others servers. They have a bunch of expenses and you are getting it for free. You are not the customer. I rather pay for a service than gamble on some free service that might be shut down at any time, or that might have malicious intents.
