tamrix··on AI coding is a nightmare. Am I the only one experiencing this?
Sounds like more of a rant than a question and for that you get a ranty reply. Ask the AI how to improve your results.
tamrix··on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without MS account
I wish people had this same enthusiasm for ios and andriod.
tamrix··on Australia widens teen social media ban to YouTube, scraps exemption
Which raises the question. If the government really cared about kids why couldn't they fund the ISPs to have an opt in service to ban social media or implement these controls?
tamrix··on Ask HN: SWEs how do you future-proof your career in light of LLMs?
LLM is just a hypervised search engine. You still need to know what to ask, what you can get away with and what you can't.

tamrix··on Microsoft's new Outlook client moves your email to the cloud
I don't mind the new outlook. The meeting notifications are far less intrusive. You can update a meeting without spamming new emails. The simplified views do 95%of what I use it for. The calendar view is easier to read.

Everyone will hate this but whatever, internal company email is dead. It causes more issues than solutions. Phishing, spam, malware, etc. It's legacy tech.

The new outlook client is linking it with more modern medium specific communication such as loop, teams, sharepoint online, one drive etc.

tamrix··on Kanban vs. Scrum: What's the difference?
Scrum is iterative and incremental. While you plan a sprint, you loosely plan an increment and using the estimates and velocity, project where you will land.

It can be useful to know you're not going to make the 6 month project 3 months in. So you can readjust expectations or abandon the project entirely.

People will listen if you have evidence and the team on your side. Arguably this all depends on your project, culture and product.

tamrix··on Apple introduces M4 chip
Fine just doesn't cut it for a premium machine you expect to last a few years at least. It's honestly just marketed so you want to spend extra and upgrade. Let's be real.
tamrix··on Apple introduces M4 chip
Why can't they just make it 12gb? It will sell far easier. It's all soldered on anyway.

You may have started with Vala. An object oriented language inspired by C# complied in straight C.
tamrix··on Magika: AI powered fast and efficient file type identification
What about faile?
tamrix··on Unicomp's "New" Model M Keyboard
Used a unicomp Model M 8+ years ago. Spilled coffee on it and it was dead dead.

It's a very loud keyboard. You couldn't use one today if you had to type during a zoom or teams meeting.

How about the ultimate programming challenge. Make a project that makes real money.

I can promise you no one is paying $35 per IPv4 address.

tamrix··on Twitter has officially changed its logo to ‘X’
What if there were massive economic changes coming in the next 10 years? including gold backed BRICs currency competing with USD. Rise in a cdbc including carbon credit to limit spending and continued inflation globally.

Could this be a way to secure a global payment system away from a potential tyrannical alternative? Probably not. But if you were more in the know and were an insane billionaire, you might want to try..

tamrix··on Twitter has officially changed its logo to ‘X’
Why would you do that when you can just hire PR to run a campaign about how great you are?

tamrix··on AI is killing the old web
You could blockchain link to something like civc with id verification.
tamrix··on r/ProgrammerHumor will be shutting down to protest Reddit's API changes
This will make no difference at all.

RIF, Apollo and narwhale apps should all team up and create (or partner up) with a reddit clone.

All the founders of these apps just seem oblivious to this.

Or maybe there's a dead tight contract they signed or something but I'd do it anyway.
