If you want the most job opportunities I would bet on the web and database backend. Almost all mid to upper size businesses has some custom made web solutions which stores to an SQL Database. There are lots of sub-areas within this domain like cloud, security, different databases, scalability, authenticatin, front end and the list goes on

At least he's not stuck on MacOS

Semi off-topic. Anyone know why radon sensor modules are absent as modules one can buy and use in your own arduino-thing?

Dart is easy to learn. If you've been around a while and know a few c-like; the gotcha hits pretty quickly. Nice tooling, good documentation and generally no surprises good or bad.

Thank you kindly. I'll have a look at OnShape.

6 months into 3D printing and I couldnt have asked for a better article to stumble upon. What a massive field this is and I love some of the take aways. Paricularly circles into hexagons, and making things adjustable.

I’m not making my own designs yet. It is too difficult. Modifiying a little here using Blender is where Im at

I love the idea. Simple and elegant. Hopefully someone will make something similar in Europe

I dont love the idea of Apple eco system for server side development. I trust them to try make a great eco system for their own OSes based on their self interrest. I do not trust them to drive and maintain a server side eco system, because I don’t see how the effort is directly linked to making money.

That said, Swift and SwiftUI is super nice, so I know they know how to make great software for their OS-es. Almost. Once they fix XCode.

I would certainly not bet on MAGA be gone post Trump. Firstly VP JD Vance is just as hostile, and ready to take over during Trumps term should anything happen.

Regardless, these euro-hostile MAGA voters will still breathe, eat and vote republican for the rest of my lifetime.

We should prepare in Europe for a future without the US in my opinion. Like China, but not, since the EU is about openness and freedom.

Seen from afar; it seems that Trump is so close to absolute power that he can simply brush off what should be scandals with real consequences. How _everyone_ survived the Signal scandal blows my mind

I just wished their server side was open source also

Is the driver support fit for using FreeBSD as a desktop OS these days?

Last I tried (~10 years ago) I gave up and I assumed FreeBSD was a Server OS, because I couldn't for the life of me get Nvidia drivers working in native resolution. I don't recall specifics but Bluetooth was problematic also.

Death treats and torture I think

I remember exactly that moment I first saw a Windows 95 bootup.

First the new _animated_ boot splash with the ms-logo, then the elegant start up piano sound, the amazing new start button with a menu with so perfectly organized applications, settings and a run input. It was like stepping into the future.

Windows 3.11 and dos 6.22 was normal yesterday, it worked, was cool and had all the stuff I loved to do - but after this day they felt dated and ancient.

Such moments are rare. Microsoft rocked so hard

using precious vram to store files is a special kind of humor. especially since someone actually implemented it. kudos

ads again. somehow. its like a law of nature.

wow a hacker. he’s a hacker guys!

"AI company" makes this an unreasonable wide question but I'll assume you mean of the big players in this ecosystem. I miss later models from Grok and xai, which don't seem to care about sharing models either

Trump just destroyed US advanced arms export. He is efficient at tearing things down, gotta give him that.

Discord is American. For many in Europe this is a downside now.

Thank you; Mondelez

I am working on this, and here are my personal observations thus far;

# Low hanging fruit:

- Food and clothes, like Coca Cola, Snickers, Nike, Levis, The North Face etc

- Mondelez. This is hard because they own so much. But obvious things like Oreo and Corn Flakes are easy.

- Social Media I rarely use. For me this was Snapchat, Instagram, WhatsApp, X, Bluesky and Messenger.

# Harder to ditch

- Facebook. Family :(

- Microsoft; Windows, VSCode, MS Teams, GitHub

- Google; Gmail is my primary for 15+ years, gDrive, gCalendar, google.com

- Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure.

- Streaming: YouTube, NetFlix, HBO and Disney+. This will be difficult.

- LLM, Claude and OpenAI-things

- Steam

- Discord

- My Tesla model Y.

# Impossible

- Smart Phone OS: Google Android or Apple iPhone/iOS

- Intel / AMD, hardware in general is difficult

So, this is all work in progress, but I keep this document in my Google Drive (gah!) and I'm adding more stuff every day and trying to shift my habbits.

DuckDuckGo is another such example

Tailscale is Canadian from what I can see, and not american. Which is a plus these days.

Looking forward to it

As much as Musk has been unhinged lately I feel he is the good guy if it is really true he is trying to restore the "open" in OpenAI

Why does this never happen? :(

The trick is to call the people who are using the AI to generate code something other than programmers.

True as long as they make a lot of money for years and decades

I love this formulation
