I guess they could use railguns too.

I played this piano and it reminded me of Twilight Zone (1959).

Maybe we just need to make cyanobacteria that multiplies faster.

Then the vibe coder will ask an LLM to answer questions about the contribution.

Not your keys, not your coins.

If you like this then you will probably like "The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage", a 1989 book by Clifford Stoll.

Also available as audiobook, and a documentary ("The KGB, The computer and Me"). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe5AE-qYan8

Brendan Gregg needs to release a GPU oriented system performance book.

AI needs data and data that comes from consumer devices.

> "you should do things that make your manager happy"

If doing things ethically (not defrauding investors and customers) keeps your manager happy, then do it. If not, do it fucking anyways.

They claim they have net zero carbon footprint, or carbon neutrality.

In reality what they do is pay "carbon credits" (money) to some random dude that takes the money and does nothing with it. The entire carbon credit economy is bullshit.

Very similar to how putting recyclables in a different color bin doesn't do shit for the environment in practice.

Yes, generational AI has a high environmental footprint. Power hungry data centers, devices built on planned obsolescence, etc. At a scale that is irrational.

Rob Pike created a language that makes you spend less on compute if you are coming from Python, Java, etc. That's good for the environment. Means less energy use and less data center use. But he is not an environmental saint.

The linguistic holy grails over there are resolving the mysteries around Qhapac simi, Puquina and quipus.

Input errors do not need fixing, so no.

- mitmproxy (the Docker version is really easy to set up)

- Burp Proxy

- Wireshark, tshark

Disable Internet connection and just use them as a display.

I was using an AppImage

OBS is great, it was my go to recording tool. But my videos were choppy until I started using GPU screen recorder.

If you are

- recording your screen but not streaming

- you are not customizing what goes into your screen

Then use something else. GPU screen recorder has a lower overhead and produces much smoother recordings: https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder/about/

Well, there are funny things about the guy, such as the video where he eats something from his foot.

Richard Stallman warned us about this.

Selling gift cards is like borrowing money at 0% interest. And because some people forget and never use them, it's negative interest.

Don't use cloc in 2025. Use tokei or whatever.

There was also WarCraft II Battle.net edition, launched in '99

StarCraft I still has a large community. And China has a giant WarCraft III community.

> This is a really good and I think sadly under played and discussed game

WarCraft II sold 3M copies.

Do it in Ada, SPARK, Zig, Rust, Pascal, Crystal, etc.

Unless it's an existing project where migration is too costly, C is just entering a time wasting pact along with a lot of other people that like suffering for free.

Everyone is obsessed with LibreOffice, the grandchild of the slow and ugly Sun StarOffice.

Two memorable things

- "Your sound card works perfectly!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_A1GNx0M9M

- "I am a medieval man" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwWh1xy6gvU (https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/I%27m_a_Medieval_Man)

It was great to play this game when it came out. And it has aged well too. Good gameplay, OST, graphics... never experienced a glitch or performance issue. The only worry was keeping the CD unscratched.

This office suite is less known but great: https://www.freeoffice.com/

Ads are the main drivers of ruining the Internet that we once enjoyed.
