It is irrelevant if the workers did a good job. They are at the service and discretion of the house. The house, i.e. the owner, always remains. Until everything burns down. In case of Meta, pipe-dream, one can only hope.

And exactly the type to be in power. Explains everything that is fucked up about our world.

> The issue was compounded by the author getting a lot of positive feedback on their game, because people respond to how the game looks, not the code.

It doesn't even have to look that good. Relying on vapid positivity from Reddit will do that to you.

Last night I started learning Qt and thought if the underlying pun was the motivation :)

Tried to sign-up for Hetzner. Says I need to provide my official ID for "enhanced verification". Yeah, right.

They do that in order to keep their service safe from spammers and cryptominers.

Yes. Problem?

If you don't see the problem, there isn't much I can say that will change your mind.

At this point, as an experienced developer, unless they can promise consistent very high quality, which they can't, I would rather lean towards almost as good but faster. At this point, that compromise is Codex.

I would rather steer quickly, get ideas because I'm moving quickly, do course correction quickly - basically I'm not happy blocking my chain of thought/concentration and fall prey to distractions due to Claude's slowness and compaction cycles. Sometimes I don't even notice that Codex has compacted.

For architectural discussions, sure I'll pick Claude. I'm mentally prepared for that. But once we are in the thick of things, speed matters. I would they rather focus on improving Sonnet's speed.

I'm genuinely curious if this is a thing with roots in Spanish culture? Because there is strong Spanish influence in Philippines and South America.

I don't know any Spaniards but I do know Filipinos and the confidence projection is a real thing. The Filipino IT guy confidently declared that my OnePlus Android phone wasn't certified for the software he was trying to install and was getting errors. It is a bog standard application that can be installed on any modern Android phone but the level of confidence he projected, just because he didn't know OnePlus as a brand, made me doubt myself until I turned on the critical hat and pushed back a little with alternative approaches, which solved the problem.

If they were actually serious, they would add an option in the Family Link app to set time limit for shorts for children.

They did add it, it explicitly says "Scrolling is paused after time's up but they may still see individual Shorts"

I added 15 min timer for my kids today, not as good as blocking them entirely from even being seen .. but at least it's something.

There is no such setting I can see in Family Link. Not per-device setup, Family Link.

I stand corrected - there is a Time Management setting under Controls -> YouTube.

Given the teacher to student ratio: this kills the teacher.

Just switched from Backblaze to Cloudflare R2 (using restic). Now it makes me think if I should check for such issues with R2 as well.
