I experimented with it a bit but I just can't take Blazor seriously with its huge bundle sizes and interpreted IL. With AOT you can skip the interpreter and compile directly to wasm, but then the bundle size grows even bigger. I have pretty much given up on Blazor and the fact that Microsoft isn't using it for any of their products should be a clear signal to stay far away.

Someone already tried to add AI support to it. They only failed due to their own incompetence.

I am reminded of The Jaunt where animals and humans can survive teleportation only while unconscious.

The article doesn't link it directly but I think their cloud platform is called stackit. This could be a good offering if all you need is a server capacity and a bit of monitoring but companies looking for an equivalent to things like Azure B2C or other "Cloud native" services wont find them there. Bert Hubert wrote about this a few months ago. Platforms like this are really cool but they wont sway any customers who look for fully featured services that they can use like building blocks for their applications.

Yes, I did. They are both perfectly fine editors but they don't hold a candle to a proper IDE with a good Vim plugin. I also want to play some games that go beyond the production values of SuperTuxKart and Battle for Wesnoth.

I am eagerly awaiting your FOSS implementation of all Jetbrains IDEs; and no the half-baked solutions that are Visual Studio Code and the various other editors that need approximately 50 plugins to get basic refactoring features don't cut it. While you are at it, please also reimplement the whole Steam catalog.

Reading that Flatpak is struggling to merge new features is concerning. Flatpak is a really important project for getting commercial developers on board. I don't want to go back to unpacking .deb files built only for Ubuntu 12.04 to install an application and I want closed source apps to be sandboxed.

New ones probably use something newer. The 20 year old elevator in a hospital will only be upgraded if something breaks.

We are far away from the release of the Raspberry Pi if that screen is running an early version of Windows CE. Putting a PC in the elevator to drive the screen was probably the most cost effective solution.

Yes? That is not that unusual and it is mentioned in the third sentence of the article.

As I rode up to the 14th floor, my eyes were drawn to a screen built into the side of the lift.

 

I find it astounding that it is possible to run the old x86 Crysis at decent frame rates on an ARM based phone.

 

Just a guy making desktop software that solves a problem. Its 2025 and what used to be normal, selling software without subscription that you run locally on your computer, is now a unique feature.

 

It's just two days after the upstream release and Plasma 6.3 is already rolled out to Fedora Kinoite users.

 

More reading material for my favourite RPG.

This is a proposal by some AI bro to add a file called llms.txt that contains a version of your websites text that is easier to process for LLMs. Its a similar idea to the robots.txt file for webcrawlers.

Wouldn't it be a real shame if everyone added this file to their websites and filled them with complete nonsense. Apparently you only need to poison 0.1% of the training data to get an effect.

 

This video discusses how you getting mad at Andrew Tate, Jake Paul and other such characters is playing right into their hand. There are some controversial takes in there but overall I liked the message.
