This article disingenuously ignores reuse of a reusable asset. The argument falls apart as soon as higher quality things are made with reuse in mind. You don’t throw cotton bags away after the first use.

Single use plastics are a colossal waste of resources and cause environmental damage when not correctly disposed of. That reason alone should render their use outlawed.

Why do you think organisations go to the trouble of sponsoring visas?

Papering over the lack of a suitably equipped workforce because of deficiencies in the education system will similarly not lead to growth.

Blaming immigrants is lazy.

Adobe don’t have to care what their customers think because their business practices have eradicated most of their competitors, leaving them trapped.

Neoliberalism is not a viable way to run an economy without enforcement of monopoly legislation.

The point is that you still need to expose a shell or a wrapper around exec to launch those commands. That is t appropriate when I want to lock the model down to working entirely from a sandboxed environment and expose some basic tools which are not “entire posix user space”.

MCP servers are not dead, they’re just overused in contexts they don’t really make sense in.

The issue is that a huge amount of value is tied up in the client applications, which do not have community-maintained equivalents.

Here's hoping it's not another security nightmare...

IMO we don’t place enough emphasis on the gain in comfort: my home is a solid 21°C at all times since we replaced our aging gas boiler. The larger radiators, lower water temperature and “always on” operation have removed the temperature swings.

Heat loss in our home is high (single skin brick), but our bills over the course of the year are on a par with having the heating running for 12h a day. They are substantially more expensive during the winter when temperatures drop below 5°C, but that isn’t noticeable when averaging the bills out over the year.

Got to do our roof in the next couple of years so solar is a natural next step for us.

Why is it a problem? Why should the ability to afford healthcare determine your ability to access it?

I'm genuinely curious as to why you think it's reasonable for the less financially well off to die.

Why must I do anything of the sort? As with all things there is a balance to be found that does not necessarily mean zero.

I can both support healthcare that’s free at the point of access (this distinction is important, because the NHS is not strictly speaking a “single payer” system, as both National Insurance and tax revenues from e.g. alcohol and cigarette sales are used to fund it) and individual liberty, even if that increases the cost of healthcare delivery. The NHS is not evidence of an authoritarian regime, it is evidence of the state playing a role in maintaining baseline standards of health, largely for the purposes of maintaining a healthy workforce.

Americans have such a wildly warped worldview in my experience.

I sympathise with this. I don't use macOS by choice, but because my employer forces me to do so as the security team has a dated understanding of the state of desktop Linux and MDM software.

The challenge with macOS window managers seems to be handling movement of windows between spaces, particularly when the display configuration changes (e.g. when docking and undocking a laptop, or opening and closing the lid). I've tried Yabai, AeroSpace, OmniWM, Hammerspoon w/ PaperWM.spoon, and Rift. None of them have delivered the level of polish Niri achieves.

Niri can even do one better: if you configure a keybind for the move-workspace-to-monitor-next or -prev actions you can move entire spaces between monitors, with wrap around. You can do the same for a column of windows (by default an individual window, but you can stack windows such that only one is visible in a group or that they're all visible in rows). I'll usually split my chat/monitoring spaces from my active development ones so I can passively refer back to them whilst working on an active task.

Niri offers a wonderful workflow; it really is an excellent piece of software.

I would really love to hear more about this, but my cursory search didn't find a write up about it.

I did a PoC of Dagger for an integration and delivery workload and loved the local development experience. Being able to define complex pipelines as a series of composable actions in a language which can be type checked was a great experience, and assembling these into unix-style pipelines felt very natural.

I struggled to go beyond this and into an integration environment, though. Dagger's current caching implementation is very much built around there being a single long-lived node and doesn't scale out well, at least without the undocumented experimental OCI caching implementation. Are you able to share any details on how Fastly operates Dagger?

They are absolutely not common in Europe, and aren't even generally enforceable in consumer contracts. They're considered non-binding, as they're "unfair terms" in the Unfair Terms Directive 1993.

Anubis is the new hotness, specifically billing itself as an "AI firewall". If you've had an animé waifu check you're human you've even used it.

Quite likely fingerprinting detection, which is remaining firmly enabled.

Granted, but there are open source alternatives that don’t have the same obsession with meaningless digital signatures. Turnstile is just a terrible product.

As a user of an unsigned Firefox fork, Turnstile has ruined a moderate portion of the Internet for me. The way Cloudflare doesn’t think twice about eroding user freedoms, for the sake of a gate that can be trivially bypassed with solvarr or similar, is deeply disturbing. They are no longer a force for good on the web.

Or at least what a marketing team that has tried nothing and is already completely out of ideas looks like.

This isn’t subversive, it’s just lazy.

Not every consumer of a service like CodeRabbit will be in a position to make decisions about the tools their org adopts, or even be involved in the relationship with the vendor. Are they not entitled to express exasperation in a public forum?

The guy offered some pretty valuable feedback to help improve the product. Business idiots with ego problems can bury their head in the sand at their own peril.

I have 12 of them in a cluster and had endless lockups and performance issues with USB drives and SD cards. I ended up switching to a USB to SATA adapter and a cheap consumer grade SSD and have had no issues since.

They aren’t the fastest, but they are reliable IME.

Raspberry Pis themselves are perfectly reliable given a stable power supply and good storage — steer clear of slow and flakey SD cards.

The HAOS virtual appliance is awesome though.

Two reasons I can think of: it wastes your time to have keep scrolling past blatant hallucinations, and it still costs the environment to compute it. I'm happy to cost Google some money, but I'm less happy about the environmental impact they'll inevitably not pay for.

This sadly doesn't match my lived Linux experience. The amdgpu drivers are absolutely abominable with Thunderbolt and regularly cause suspend/resume issues, even when the laptop has suspended while connected to the dock and resumed whilst still connected.

Beyond this applications like Firefox fairly regularly cease rendering frames for seconds at a time while various timeout errors are logged by amdgpu.

AMD have a lot of work to do to just to match Intel on Linux graphics driver stability.

One neat Nix feature is development shells, which let you define isolated shell environments that can be activated by invoking `nix develop` (or via direnv upon entering a directory):

    devShells.default = pkgs.mkShell {
      packages = with pkgs; [ opentofu terragrunt ];
    };

I can then use these tools inside the devShell from my jobs like so:

    jobs:
      terragrunt-plan:
        runs-on: [self-hosted, Linux, X64]
        defaults:
          run:
            shell: nix develop --command bash -e {0}
        steps:
          - name: Checkout
            uses: actions/checkout@v4
          - name: Plan
            run: terragrunt --terragrunt-non-interactive run-all plan

Since I'm doing this within a Nix flake all of the dependencies for this environment are recorded in a lock file. Provided my clone of the repo is up to date I should have the same versions.

There sure is a lot of chest beating

Nix is awesome for this -- write your entire series of CI tools in she'll or Python and run them locally in the exact same environment as they will run in CI. Add SOPS to bring secrets along for the ride.

IMO that's a gross oversimplification which ignores the actual problem.

In my (limited) experience of the Philippines, the greatest problem is the total lack of domestic opportunity, fuelled by the view of labour as an export. It's compounded by the high cost of education which parents are expected to cover. Graduates enter a world of retail and BPO jobs because they are overqualified. There is no social mobility. There is no middle class. Folks sell their homes and what little land their families hold to afford healthcare, which a few privileged doctors build private rental empires on.

Against this backdrop Duterte's popularity appears consistent with other populist figures -- a machismo strongman claiming to execute the people's will whilst stealing from them for his own gain. Add in extrajudicial killings and increasing militarisation of the police and it's hard to see him as anything other than a tyrant.

Respectfully, a lot of your comments appear apologetic to dictatorial/authoritarian figures and contradict "mainstream" thinking. What's your background/perspective? Given the support for Duterte, are you Filipino?

Since cars don't need to cross water, maybe this isn't actually relevant. Uber aren't trying to model the planet, just the routes within the geographies they support.

This does not sound like the kind of feature I would want in a web server
