mono442··on IPv6 Adoption in 2026
You can score subnets instead of individual ips.
mono442··on How long do job postings stay open?
I read some time ago that hospitality is the lowest-paying industry. It’s unrealistic to expect strong candidates there.
mono442··on EU bans the destruction of unsold apparel, clothing, accessories and footwear
Just another case of the EU being focused on unimportant things while looking away from real issues like cost of living crisis or energy costs. Though on the other hand, it may be for the best since they only make things actively worse.
mono442··on Ruby Newbie is joining the Ruby Users forum
In my option traditional forums, especially for beginners, doesn't make sense anymore in the age of LLMs.
mono442··on Q&A: New UK onshore wind and solar is '50% cheaper' than new gas
It's because of the taxes (the emissions trading system). I've mentioned it in my earlier post.
mono442··on Claude Code is being dumbed down?
That's true if you're working as a contractor and being able to do more translates to higher income but it doesn't work so for employees.
mono442··on Q&A: New UK onshore wind and solar is '50% cheaper' than new gas
Look at the price of electricity in European Union countries. It's true. I know what I pay for electricity and you aren't going to gaslight me into thinking otherwise.
mono442··on End of an era for me: no more self-hosted git
Just block the whole China, India and similar countries.
mono442··on Eight more months of agents
Using these tools comes down to basically just writing what you want in a natural language. I don't think it will be a problem to catch up if they need to.
mono442··on A tough labor market for white-collar workers has turned recruiting upside down
I wonder how the real estate market will look like in the biggest cities in the coming years. I haven't changed jobs for quite a while so I don't know if this article is accurate but if it's really that bad, then I wouldn't be surprised if we see a big crash. After all, the appeal of biggest cities was always, at least to me, the availability of white collar, highly paid jobs. If these ceased to exist, I don't see reason why people would want to move there anymore.
mono442··on Do Markets Believe in Transformative AI?
I don't believe it'll work for anything that doesn't have a tight feedback loop. So while it can replace a lot of software engineers, it doesn't seem plausible to me that it would make a significant difference in other engineering industries.
mono442··on U.S. jobs disappear at fastest January pace since great recession
For me, it seems like a logical consequence of overheating the economy by cutting interest rates to zero during the COVID period.
mono442··on Your Job Isn't Disappearing. It's Shrinking Around You in Real Time
Work that can largely accelerate AI seems pointless to me in the current situation. It’s fairly clear to me that this will soon lead to an oversupply of workers and a drop in wages. It’s possible that wages may even fall to such a level that pursuing those professions will no longer make sense at all. Unfortunately it seems like software engineering will be one of those professions.
mono442··on EU rejects 'nonsense' censorship charge from Trump allies
They are right, there are countries in European Union where people are arrested and harassed by authorities for critiquing immigration and other stuff.
mono442··on EU must become a 'genuine federation' to avoid deindustrialisation and decline
Middle class in Europe can't afford a single family home.
mono442··on EU must become a 'genuine federation' to avoid deindustrialisation and decline
These savings don't trickle to the end customers. It's only making middlemen richer.
mono442··on EU must become a 'genuine federation' to avoid deindustrialisation and decline
There are countries in the EU with sizeable coal reserves like Poland, Germany or Czech Republic. Current policies force them to abandon it and switch to natural gas which needs to be imported.
mono442··on EU must become a 'genuine federation' to avoid deindustrialisation and decline
Deindustrialisation is mostly a consequence of high energy costs which is due to carbon taxes. They are fighting a problem which they have caused .
mono442··on The Book of PF, 4th edition
It's slower than nftables.
mono442··on Norway EV Push Nears 100 Percent: What's Next?
Norway is an outlier since it's one of the most affluent countries in the world.
mono442··on Heating homes with the largest particle accelerator
Mostly likely they'll supply heat to an existing district heating network.
mono442··on I still don't understand this SYN attack, but now I can block it easily
I have seen exactly the same thing from Brazil IP addresses too and couldn't understand the purpose of this.
mono442··on V now has SSA, SSA => x64/ARM64 back ends, a linker built in V and a code signer
The last time I heard about the V language, it overpromised and underdelivered a lot. Have it changed in the meantime? Overall the impression I got back then was that it was made by people who don't really know much about programming languages and compilers.
mono442··on Satya Nadella: "We need to find something useful for AI"
The problem with LLMs is that they're unreliable so they only work for problems with tight feedback loop or for problems where the result can be easily verified.
mono442··on EU–INC – A new pan-European legal entity
I don't believe this is true. The US has also seen a big growth of the renewables in recent years and they have managed to do it without carbon taxes.
mono442··on IPv6 is not insecure because it lacks a NAT
It's not surprising. Symmetric nat breaks some software.
mono442··on EU–INC – A new pan-European legal entity
But it is by no means obvious that carbon taxes are the right path. Targeted investments in low-emission energy sources might work better.
mono442··on EU–INC – A new pan-European legal entity
Global warming is ultimately a global problem. It doesn't matter if you reduce your CO2 emissions if others aren't following.
mono442··on EU–INC – A new pan-European legal entity
Countries outside European Union don't care about global warming anyway. It's a futile policy.
mono442··on EU–INC – A new pan-European legal entity
Capping the price of CO2 emissions at a more reasonable level like 10 - 20 euro/t CO2 just like it was 10 years ago could be a decent compromise.
