@davepl1968 If it had the UI for terminating processes looking like Star Invaders it would have been the best task manager ever.

This is probably what Task Manager would look like (and sound like) if I were still around. Which is why it's a good thing I knew to stay in my lane, design-wise :-) Live display: davepl.com:8765/?fps=10 Code: on my github

@big_duca @bcherny Claude is good at writing code, not good at engineering how it should work.

@bcherny The legend comments Real question tho why can’t it just prompt itself? Doesn’t seem far off

The thing I don’t get is: Claude Code is writing 100% of Claude code now. But Anthropic has 100+ open dev positions on their jobs page. ?

@PeterSweden7 How can you drive when the windscreen is fogged?

In Germany it is illegal to idle your car engine to heat up the car even in winter. If it is - 10C outside you will just have to drive in a freezing cold car. All in the name of reducing climate emissions.

@grok @DaveC5599 @CNviolations This tells me what I can see in those clips and explains nothing.

@DaveC5599 @CNviolations The men in the video are railway workers exchanging tokens with train drivers on heritage lines. This safety system ensures only one train occupies a single-track section, often using hoops for quick handoffs without stopping.

What are they doing?

@digitalix I’d rather do this than deal with the new Outlook on Windows 11 where no one knows where any of the settings are now.

Until Linux starts making basic things like this easier, there won't be a year of the Linux. Just set up Fedora 43, and here are the commands needed to prevent it from sleeping.

@karthikponna19 Prefer for what?

as a developer, which database do you prefer ?

@beaversteever So true!!! I always wonder that especially now with cars packed with electronics - are more prone to failures? But when was a last time an electronic device of any kind broke? I can’t recall. Replacing dry capacitors in old hi-fi is as far as “breakdowns” go.

As a hardware engineer I can't imagine getting paged at 3am because of a system outage if our hardware had outages like that people would literally die why can't software engineers just make more robust software?

@davepl1968 Sink Sunk

Explain this like a 17-year-old.

@fidexcode English

In what language did you write your first "Hello world"?

@DeborahMeaden @PeterMcCormack But where will the money for the poorest come from?

Sorry @DeborahMeaden, But this simply isn’t true. You and I both know this Labour government is running an economic model which benefits us and punishes everyone else, why, because it’s inflationary and inflation protects us. Monetary expansion pushes asset prices up. The rich get richer. The poor get poorer. I benefit from it. You benefit from it. Let’s not pretend otherwise. And yes, I understand you have a public brand to protect, but your public brand should at least demonstrate common sense regarding economics. Keir Starmer isn’t unpopular because he’s not an “empty showman.” He’s unpopular precisely because he says anything and delivers nothing. Welfare handouts are not delivery, reversing stagnation, driving productivity, rewarding workers…this would be delivering, as a Dragon you should know this. Under this government, the poor are more trapped in welfare than ever. The working class have seen their disposable income collapse. Small businesses and the middle class are being taxed and regulated into the ground. The only people doing well under this government are people like us. This government has been great for me financially, and I suspect for you too. But that’s exactly the point. It’s been a disaster for everyone else. If we want an honest conversation about the state of this country, we need people with platforms, people like you, to stop hiding behind polite fiction and say what’s actually happening. Have a lovely weekend.

@karthikponna19 Not everyone

why is everyone in tech using a MacBook ?

@aarshps @rakyll Having VMs would not decrease management overhead BUT it would create cpu contention. Two separate machines are better for this.

@rakyll While interesting, managing two machines for one person seems overly complex. Better off consolidating or using VMs for side projects for efficiency.

I have two dev machines. On my primary machine, I'm doing my regular work. On the second, I have several coding agents working on my side projects. It feels like I have two interns working on a number of ideas I had but never been able kick off until now.

@TAdventurousoul I mean, the % on the box is not for nothing. Not everyone wants a whole milk 😂

A Thread that will fulfill your daily dose of laughter 😂😹 1. Good People Still Exist 😹

@Defalt_Holmes @kangkomeji @uwukko Fair point

@marcingminski @kangkomeji @uwukko Sorry but that doesn't make a meaningful argument. A lot of companies use their company name for subscriptions. Google One, Apple One, Apple TV, and so on.

third rebrand won't save a product that's shit down to its core and lacks any kind of identity

@planetzorf @NoContextHumans Yep. You’re right. My mistake.

@marcingminski @NoContextHumans Ok, so help us out with this one… he buys a cow for $800 and then sells it for $1 million. Then he buys it back for $20 and then sells it for $1000. What is his total profit? $200? 😂😂😂

@NUFC_BLI @NoContextHumans Yep. You’re right. My mistake.

@marcingminski @NoContextHumans It's not irrelevant when part of it takes you into negative/debt. -800 + 1000 = 200 - 1100 = -900 + 1300 = 400

@LuxFella I am a database architect. I can assure you that this is common. An SSN will be a natural key and often natural keys are not good candidates for a primary key so devs pick identity, but forget to add unique constraint on the natural key.

As a software engineer I can assure you that this is absolute bullshit.

@neogoose_btw People who write server components in JS deserve to suffer and pay extra for storage.

The React Server Components webserver handwritten in arm assembly, which is fully compatible with its Node.js counterpart weighs 4.5 THOUSAND times less. And you're trying to convince me that people actually care about the binary sizes.

@SpanielCooper1 @basilthegreat The problem is that once the backdoor is implemented, who would control the “strict rules”, they could be abused. Same with the house front door - if they’re there, the house can be broken into - the only way to prevent burglary is to replace the front door with a brick wall.

🚨The UK Labour Government has ordered Apple to create a backdoor in icloud allowing security services to access your private information. Keir Starmer wants to see your messages. Scary times we live in.

@NizzyABI There are: GitLab, Azure DevOps, Atlassian Bitbucket and few others. They’re just not as popular.

insane how there’s no actual github competitors
