Everything is slower across every single facet of computing. Something is happening. I have a brand new Mac Studio M4 Max with 64gb of ram and every site is still slower than it was on a 2011 Mac Book Pro.

Web developers should be forced to use hardware that's roughly at the 10th percentile in performance of their user base, not the 90th. Alternatively, make performance a WCAG concern.

> companies are just now trending towards running leaner vs hiring every good engineer available during ZIRP

This sounds more like overproduction of entry-level computer scientists than anything AI or hiring managers are up to.

Absolutely, and this trend didn't start with the current AI boom. It started getting tough for people around ~2017 (with some exceptions in between). Before that you could likely get a job right out of a boot camp. Supply now has far outweighed demand on the junior level.

On Windows, doesn't this technically mean OP is running Linux inside a Linux VM inside Windows? From what I understand Docker is Linux tech and to use it anywhere else a (small) Linux VM is required. If true, I would just dispense with the extra layer and just run a Linux VM. Not to discourage experimentation though!
treve commented on One person was able to claim 20M IPs   lists.nanog.org/archives/... · Posted by u/speckx

Turns out what constitutes "claiming" an IP on the site is nothing like you’d expect. You don’t need to prove you control the IP. All it takes is embedding a transparent 1x1 tracking pixel on a website, and every IP that loads the page gets counted as “claimed” by you. In other words, it’s just a tally of visitors (or even ad impressions), not actual control of the IPs. So there’s really nothing meaningful here.

It's still an interesting post, because if true I'd still be curious how you'd get 20 million people to load anything.

But the title here is totally misleading because it sure sounds like someone took control of 9% of the ipv4 address space but the actual post starts with context.

One correction that I can't leave on the actual article (subscriber only!) is that I'm certain multi-screen support worked on Windows 98. Excellent article as usual though!
treve commented on Inside OS/2 (1987)   gitpi.us/article-archive/... · Posted by u/rbanffy
treve · 18 days ago
This article is probably the first time I 'get' why OS/2 was seen as the future and Windows 3 as a stop-gap, even without the GUI. The OS/2 GUI never really blew me away and every early non-GUI versions of OS/2 are mentioned it always seemed a bit dismissive.

But seeing it laid out as just the multi-tasking kernel that it is it seems more obvious now as a major foundational upgrade of MS-DOS.

Great read!

How soon can I update my raspberry pi 5 from Bookworm to Trixie? Does PiOS have to initiate that first?
treve · 19 days ago
Raspberry Pi OS is a derivative and not straight up debian. It's not a released yet. A beta exists and looks like this one will support an in-place update

Great idea, but pretty painful at the moment. I guess not everything uses this protocol yet, so I often can't find (for example) my password pops under other windows. Hoping this gets a bit better over time, it's one of the last remaining Wayland pains.

I really like the IDE. It makes enough mistakes that I need to be constantly testing and catching little errors. I’ll interrupt the flow often when it’s going down a path I don’t want it to. When using Codex, for example, it’s doing too much in the background that is harder to correct afterwards. Am I doing this wrong?
treve · 20 days ago
People have preferred either the terminal or chunky IDEs for decades. Neither are wrong.

curious to know what you would use this for?

I use it for media hosting. Backups (connected USB disks), home assistant, syncthing
