Vibe coded without remembering to tell it to use the localization system? :)

On the adding improvements and being helpful thing, isn't that part of the system prompt?

The ThinkBook 14 Gen 6 at Costco for $380 has a single thread passmark score of 2800. The laptop I use to develop most of my SaaS products, with IDEs and claude open etc, has a score of 2000. I run Linux, but win10 iot runs fine on it too.

All of FastComments is/was built on an 8th gen i7 from 2017

Using older hardware has helped me not accidentally build slow stuff. Although at some point I gotta upgrade and just add more performance tests :) but nothing replaces feeling it yourself.

seriously, it's been going on for two hours, how complicated is their auth system?

What will go away is the "senior engineer" position filled by people making six figures that don't know how to debug a memory leak or create a database index.

At fastcomments we split our fleet across both ovh and hetzner Incase of an issue so it's been interesting to compare the reliability etc. I don't have anything bad to say about either provider.

Yeah, a $45 hetzner box would probably be at the top of all these charts, but it's a little more work to provision.

Your ISP will require it.

None of these people actually care about children.

I'd consider System76 in that case, I don't think their fit and finish is known for being top tier but the specs are pretty good. Also maybe framework? The thinkpads and dells are probably mostly fine, you can always return it if it doesn't work.

The A18 Pro single thread passmark score is 4k, that's up there with pretty premium desktop CPUs, very impressive if it can do it for any meaningful time.

Oh damn, that's awesome!

It's a toss up. Works great on my 2017 X1 Extreme. Doesn't work on old 4th Gen i3/i5 E550 thinkpads I refurbish, etc.

How do you know there's no PWM flicker? Even my M3 Pro with its supposed 10khz backlight burns my eyes, I had to get rid of it. Is this display not oled?

Again, it's called management. You're managing something unpredictable: the LLM.

This is nothing new, at all. Do you have a strategy that makes other engineers do what you want exactly 100% of the time?

Nah that's dumb. I grew up poor. I make awesome sandwiches now.

But we can predict the outcomes, though. That's what we're saying, and it's true. Maybe not 100% of the time, but maybe it helps a significant amount of the time and that's what matters.

Is it engineering? Maybe not. But neither is knowing how to talk to junior developers so they're productive and don't feel bad. The engineering is at other levels.

in your hands :)

Sure we'll just spend 500k/yr for rds instead with networked disks lmao

I recommend a dedicated $40 hetzner or OVH box and just keep all your projects on that. They're pretty powerful. I was spending a lot on a bunch of $5 linodes until recently and you have to keep them upgraded etc...

Happens with Konsole sometimes on an 8th gen i7. This cpu can run many instances of intellij just fine, but somehow this TUI manages to be slow sometimes. Codex is fine, so no good argument exists really.

For me it shows the waveform and then "error"

This is what every company I've been at does. They fire and give severance during the WARN period. Nobody will ever give you a list of who was laid off at any company I've worked at. You would just have to.. figure it out

LLMs are pretty great with django...

Hardware startups are such a pain in the ass

One recent run fun issue I had was a pneumatic timer that worked fine in testing in the shop and outside my house

But once in the field the sun heated up the tube enough to trigger the sensor and get stuck in an on state requiring a plug on one end with a hole big enough to let the pressure out but small enough to let pressure trigger the sensor

My favorite feature of netbird might be no search in the client

or network names literally overlapping in the "overlapping networks" tab

or maybe it's the need to toggle the network on and off a few times to get it to work

One of the few pieces of software I actually despise but have to use, and I use win11.

OVH doesn't list the eco range on their site nav now, their servers start at $90/mo unless you search OVH eco and go directly to the page.

Weird, it looks like you're right but I recall their early marketing saying stuff like just rebuild the whole layout, it's cheap since it's compiled. They must have meant it's cheap to rebuild as needed haha

1 min plank in the morning is a big help too
