This is another great enhancement that makes me look forward to C++26.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

Given the long history of even the most egregious data breaches with millions of affected people never having the slightest consequences, what level of care are you expecting here?
tempodox··on A font that humans can read but AI cannot
Technically it works but having to read stuff this way is an unpleasant experience.
tempodox··on Europe's Largest Unions Demand Right to Cancel Work on Days Above 30C
> and energy costs are so high

So we have climate change with concomitant heat waves caused by our energy consumption, and the obvious solution for this is … to consume more energy?

tempodox··on China sentences official to death for taking $325M in bribes
I wonder how often Trump would have to die for his acts of high treason and making the USG lose face over and over again.
tempodox··on Mark Zuckerberg's biggest legal nightmare yet could cost Meta $1.4T
Sure, let your kids buy alcohol, cocaine and heroin in every shop there is. Then see how much it helps that you ban those at home.
tempodox··on $85,000 in tokens later: What I learned from scaling agentic coding at Lovable
You’d have to ask the agent, but it looks like they didn’t prompt for that.

Was that an education that was worth $85k?
tempodox··on Programmers need to start meditating
Especially for developers of server, desktop, or web software. Experience in those fields will be more a hindrance than an advantage if you want to enter embedded development. Embedded is a whole different beast and you’d have to unlearn a lot of bad habits and expectations that your former field instilled in you. No hiring manager will give you the time for that.
tempodox··on President pardons 9 for Clean Air violations for 'fixing their car'
Isn’t it heartwarming to see Trump lend a hand to uplift his fellow criminals and get the message out that crime pays?

Yes, please!
tempodox··on Android Developer Verification: Threat masquerading as Protection
> The EU has the alternative App Store option that doesn’t require an Apple account.

I cannot install any iOS software without being logged into my Apple account, not even an alternative app store.

It would be perfect on my older iDevices, but they don't let me log in anymore “because the OS is too old”. And guess what: I cannot update the OS without being logged in. I never logged out of those iDevices, Apple did that from their end.

They just want to see Anthropic crash first and then be the last survivor.
tempodox··on Meta Pauses Employee-Tracking Program Following Internal Data Leak
Not using surveillable tooling will be a felony by then.
tempodox··on NSA lost access to Mythos amid Anthropic dispute
But the propaganda deluge was a smash hit so far, HN is drowning in “AI” BS, and astroturfers and spin doctors haven’t seen that much business since the cold war. They made more profit than shovel salesmen in the gold rush.
tempodox··on NSA lost access to Mythos amid Anthropic dispute
The perpetrators all have their golden parachutes. The taxpayers will foot the bill.

It can always get worse.
tempodox··on Noise infusion banned from statistical products published by Census Bureau
> I think we’re making a mistake we will come to regret by intentionally damaging our data collection infrastructure.

Intentionally damaging infrastructure is the recurring theme of this administration.

tempodox··on My Software North Star
I am not optimistic. When I look back in history, “worse is better” won every time. And vibecoding is the current epitome of “worse is better”. There are many places where code is a necessary evil, just a means to an end. And when the resulting software has never been particularly good anyway, then vibe-coded slop might just be good enough. Eventually, the economics will decide. There is a small chance that rising costs of LLM usage might save a segment or two from being devoured altogether.
tempodox··on Nvidia is proposing a beast of a CPU system for Windows PCs
Still, Microslop has repeatedly proven their ability to slow everything down to a crawl no matter how powerful the hardware. If you want it to be fast, don’t use Windows.
tempodox··on C++: The Documentary
Playing in a sandbox no less.
tempodox··on Bun has been converted to rust. Now what?
I assume both are for an audience of bots.
tempodox··on WH proposes rules giving political appointees final approval on research grants
If you want to stay a scientist, you have to emigrate. The art of continually licking the right asses to keep funding going is not science.
tempodox··on Search engines alternatives now that Google isn't Google anymore
When even TechCrunch says that Google isn’t Google anymore, that’s like Mick Jagger saying you have a substance abuse problem.
tempodox··on Trump Mobile exposed customers' personal data
It’s insufficiently iPhone-like.
tempodox··on You can no longer Google the word 'disregard'
I’m glad my ad blocker works well enough to trigger this, performing its intended operation. When ads are the intended operation of that site, it needs to be blocked.
tempodox··on Apple unveils new accessibility features
Generated subtitles for video does sound useful. Sometimes actors mumble so horribly, I don’t understand a word they’re saying.
