This seems to depend so much on the IP address space one is in. I have never experienced deliverability issues after the first year–and that's since the 2010s iirc. The first year I had to ask several friends to send me emails first, or dig out my email from spam and reply to it. After that it worked flawlessly for Gmail, which was hit-or-miss before. A single ISP I had to write to manually–the person responding to my mail explained that they blocked emails from my hoster's IP range wholesale but made an exception for my IP explicitly.

Never had any issues since then, though I did have to adjust to new standards such as DKIM, DMARC, SPF etc. over the years.

Within EU, you could buy licenses from one of the legal license resell markets. For everyone outside of reach of the law, there‘s massgravel.

It looks like AI generated based on https://nmb.bm/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/IMG_011054-1536x10... for what it’s worth. Would have preferred to see the original though.

/e: this is likely not the illustration you were referring to I realize now.

In my bubble, some. In the general population? Very very few.

In the strongest interpretation of that it would offer only data which the user is allowed to access. Why do you assume that them implementing a feature to prevent PII being accessed that they then turn around and return data which the user is not supposed to access?

Looks like a clear divide in people‘s experiences based on how they use these new tools:

1) All-knowing oracle which is lightly prompted and develops whole applications from requirements specification to deployable artifacts. Superficial, little to no review of the code before running and committing.

2) An additional tool next to their already established toolset to be used inside or alongside their IDE. Each line gets read and reviewed. The tool needs to defend their choices and manual rework is common for anything from improving documentation to naming things all the way to architectural changes.

Obviously anything in between as well being viable. 1) seems like a crazy dead-end to me if you are looking to build a sustainable service or a fulfilling career.

"This guy 100% must be in Ukraine. It would be one of the few places in the world where you can feel relatively safe right now to not just design but build and launch and even better, publish documentation on the web of you doing such. Surely there is NO WAY person is in any other country."

looks at his github see's he is a US college student

Yeah he's likely going to jail.

For the one I have that would be irreversible. You‘d have to cut it up.

The Zed fork sounds interesting!

What was the Apple Dev account needed for? Previously I remember it was only needed for submitting apps to the App Store, not running Dev builds locally.

That seems fine to me. I am more annoyed at the 2.3MB sized PNGs with tabular data. And if you open them at 100% zoom they are extremely blurry.

Whatever workflow lead to that?

Afaik heat-pumps in the EU can provide unlimited hot water–what am I missing?

> Like every year, I decided to travel to FOSDEM by car. It is not the most relaxed option, but it comes with one very important advantage: arriving early enough to secure a parking spot directly on campus. That also means the journey starts very early in the morning, long before the city fully wakes up.

Curiously backwards. That's one way of reframing a disadvantage as an advantage. The train connection seems to be 3h15m to 3h30m from Neuss train station to FOSDEM. A single connection for the long-distance train in Cologne, the rest is local public transport within Brussels.

(The OP may been /s without me realizing.)

How fair would you think if a potential employer assumed from your (hypothetical) incompetence in picking a suitable hairstyle and outfit for an interview that you were not fit for a non-customer facing role?

While it absolutely makes sense to keep your important data backed up, I know people who were great academics in their field and yet managed to delete all their PhD work (before services like Dropbox and OneDrive became common).

And here I was hoping OP was being sarcastic. Yet it‘s reasonable we‘re nearing an AI-fueled Homer drinking bird scenario.

Some concepts people try out using AI (for lack of a more specific word) are interesting. They will add to our collective understanding of when these tools, paired with meaningful methods can be used to effectively achieve what seemed out of reach before.

Unfortunately it comes with many rediscovering insights I thought we already had, badly. Others use tools without giving consideration to what they were looking to accomplish, and how they would know if they did.
