Bah. Hans Reiser wrote filesystems all day and he turned out fine.
I remember when Clarkson drove a BMW 5 series and a Prius around the test track flat-out, and they consumed similar amounts of fuel. Their labels showed the Prius was meant to use much less.
The only time my 2015 X-Trail got the advertised mileage was when I descended a mountain.
My team just recently started using copilot for PR reviews.
So far I've found that 90% of what it raises is incorrect. For the stuff it actually finds, the code suggestion to fix it is almost always wrong. It will write 20 lines of code for something that's a one-line fix.
It picked up on one reentry bug on a recursive function that I don't think another dev would have spotted.
It's definitely slowing me down. I hear about AI wasting dev's time with bogus bug reports. It's now integrated into my workflow.
I've already got SonarQube and linters which finds issues the moment I introduce them. They're doing a much better job at maintaining code quality.
“It’s the largest conservation‑focused commitment of its kind"
This is depressing. That's $2 per Australian. A miniscule amount. We spent more than that on a single outer-suburban train station.
Well, the app doesn't use network permissions. That's a good sign.
It went from INI to JSON real quick.
Gina was probably there when he came up with the idea.
Probably. I have no idea what "easy" is meant to be.
Mine's so loud that people have to shout over it to get my attention.
Having installed both this week, I much prefer XMPP. I want it as something more like signal/whatsapp just for my immediate family. Some are too young for a phone number, but I want them to join in the fun.
It was a but of messing around getting prosody to work how I want, but I'm really happy with it. It works with my letsencrypt certs. Phone and video calls just work. MySql just works with it. The tricky one was getting it to auth with same credentials as the mail daemon, but I got that going too. It's seamless now.
Matrix was 90% features I would not use.
Ironically, it's the innocent-looking white boxes that are hellspawn devices of pure evil that will wiretap your house, force you into a subscription service and have a 2-year planned obsolescence timebomb in it.
Meanwhile anything that resembles an arachnid will let you do whatever you want, support every imaginable open standard, and work with community firmware that will still be supported a decade later.
The problem is this also blocks SMS from those outside your contacts. It will be an issue with 2FA.
I created a "Do not disturb" profile that only blocks voice calls for non-contacts. SMS still comes through. My ringtone is a silent file, but that's just my preference.
In the DND profile, I only allowed messaging apps to show notifications. I don't care about the rest.
