Map problems to slot machines, guess enough slots and you're indistinguishable from GI.

Hah, indeed, the story could have happened yesterday. Except maybe thinkpad prices in europe have normalized a bit ;) What I didn't write is that my feelings towards the USA were 95% positive bac…

Oh this brings back memories. Back in 2007 my dad needed a new Thinkpad which was like 2.5k EUR in NL vs 1k USD in the USA. He also wanted to push his kids to do something adventurous. So he bought me…

Cool, thank you!

Any experience with their DNS? Asking for a friend ;) only problem I've seen so far is lack of DS record support.

Nice seeing you here Andrej!

Ok funny anecdote: I once did a special assignment for the CEO of Mendix to build a convertor for MS Access apps to Mendix. So, yes, I can confirm that this is roughly true ;) I wrote a short post abo…

No, because the parent org is French.

I'm using OVH Cloud for a customer. There's a bit of uncertainty about the CLOUD Act. As OVH has a US subsidiary, they are still doing business in the US and I have seen claims that this mak…

I've created a programming language and game for (my) kids called Stacky Bird. You learn Stack Based programming with Flappy Bird. Inspired by my old HP calculators, the game 2048 and Flappy Bird…

This is awesome! I'm also working on something like real-time collaboration on codebases, but nothing as freehand as this, really inspiring!

EMCA -> ECMA

This is super cool. Love the little icons in the left and would be nice if they were clickable.

ok you win

Very cool but I think my wireless bluetooth one is even cooler ;) https://blog.waleson.com/2024/10/bakelite-to-future-1950s-ro... It actually supports using the rotary dial …

Would love to see an update to 2025

Agreed, but: I know a couple of players in the "Enterprise Low-Code" space, who have invested heavily in deeply integrated development environments (with a capital I) and the right abstracti…

This is really useful. Might want to add a checkbox at a certain threshold, so that reviewers explicitly answer the concerns of the LLM. Also you can start collecting stats on how "easy to review…

I've seen worse ideas ;)

I'm happy to give it a try when I have some time, but I have 0 problems with git right now so it's not top of my list. My critique is also really not towards jj specifically, I'm just d…

I didn't pick a great example and didn't explain it eloquently, but I hope you understand my point. Supporting multiple ways of working takes effort.

I see what you mean, and having looked a bit more deeply today, it's clear that jj is very compatible. However, my point is that having two ways of doing this within a team is already confusing. …

I meant that there is no global authority for saying which websites are OK and which ones are not. So not really that the legal system in specific countries have not caught up. Lacking a global author…

If a product is 10x better than what's currently available, it will see rapid adoption. There was obviously something about git that made it MUCH better than the precursors and that's why it…

True, and agreed that lawsuits are likely. Disagree that it's short-sighted. The legal system hasn't caught up with internet technology and global platforms. Until it does, I think browsers …
