  • I’m not bitching about the existence of code agents in general, I’m bitching about the general attitude of “Code Agents will replace programmers” because no the fuck they are not.

    They can produce one-off apps and scripts fairly well to the point where non-programmers can solve their problems (great!) but they lack the necessary sophistication and context to build long-lasting, maintainable and scalable applications, which is what you are hiring developers for in the first place




  • I do. Driving 61 instead of 48 km/h increases your distance to stop at an emergency by almost 8m. This is assuming 300ms reaction time. By the time you would have stopped at 48km/h you would still be ramming whatever it is you’re emergency braking for with 40km/h 15km/h if you go 61km/h.

    Speeding is no joke, please read about how braking distance scales with speed. Especially if you go 50km/h in a 30 you’re spelling a death sentence for anyone and anything running into the streets. And no, “they shouldn’t run on the street” is not an argument, children and animals will always do unpredictable things, and being inattentive isn’t a reason to execute someone

    Edit: used km/h instead of m/s in my calculations


  • While we’re on the topic; any decent smart watches out there that

    • aren’t made by apple
    • don’t harvest my data
    • don’t stream everything I do straight to china

    ? I like the concept of a smart watch, but I haven’t really looked into the ecosystem. Preferably one that just integrates nicely with any android phone









  • Did you read the article?

    Current models don’t assume carbon capture technologies to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, they assume interactions with the oceans to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

    And yes, 3C will be devastating, but not doing anything will be more devastating, that’s also what the article says. If all lower goals are out of reach we should still aim for 3C because 3C is a lot better than 4C. Saying a certain temperature is devastating is not a useful comment in a scenario where that is the only good option left.

    We fucked up, now we must act based on the current situation.
