There is a litany of expensive consultants coming in and shitting up code bases worldwide with cargo-culty supposed 'best practices' like Lombok. It is good to call it out.

Why is there such a narrow world view apparent on HN as to suggest that this is only a good quality for a human to have? It's a good quality for almost anything to have!

Never knew Bengal cats were such an issue in some countries. We had two a few years ago, they were the most adorable creatures.

I just gave the crazy man a lot of money knowing he wants to start a holy war. I did not want him to fund this particular holy war that turned out to be disadvantageous to me!

Didn't expect to see the 180B model running on two 3090s so fast. The open model space is moving crazy fast, improvements like always remind me of Google's 2023 memo 'We Have No Moat', which looks to be more right every day.

Every project I've ever worked on - sans two at IBM post Red Hat acquisition - had legacy style Javaboxes at the customer's DC or was still rocking mainframe DB2 stuff. I'm seeing bare-metal Kubernetes / OpenShift gaining a stronger foothold though. Rarely, some specific workloads did run on Azure - never anything critical though.

For context, I do mainly development work for EU enterprises and the public sector.

For what it's worth, please do not go for a dip in the Danube river proper here in Vienna, the currents are too dangerous for bathing and there is no official bathing spot anywhere for this reason. Instead, visit our other waters such as the lakes of the Old Danube or the high-water protection side-arm New Danube.

That could have been produced after the fact, and even if i.e. a scanned version were provided with an eIDAS-compliant qualified electronic timestamp, it can still be argued that the student just wrote LLM output down.

I never knew that this is not illegal everywhere. In Austria, this has been illegal for as long as I can think.

We learned about how the Gutenberg Press physically worked, how it was based on wine presses and how difficult it supposedly was to produce a single metal letter. Also, how it was a PITA to re-arrange them to print something else, alas it was mostly used to print the Bible.

In my school curriculum here in Vienna, this was very specifically taught in history class.
