almosthere··on 90M people. 118 hours of silence. One nation erased from the internet
Because that's not what they are - they are communists trying to mix the right ingredients for their next rage cycle.
almosthere··on Elon Musk Just Endorsed Blatant White Nationalism and the Silence Is Deafening
This entire comment is a fabrication. LOL

Where is this language coming from - White American Though Control is an Evil in the world. I want 10million references for that. That's an insane thing to believe.

The only significant thing the "west" does is build out infrastructure so people can live a good life. That may have in the past depended on labor that was not great, but that was 200 years ago. The current party that wants cheap imported labor is the left. Perhaps the racist leftists should be held accountable to your White American Though Control that's currently on MS-13 Now channel.

You refuse to stand in solidarity with a people, that's basically equivalent to wanting them gone from the planet. I can stand in solidarity to all groups of people except for the ones that are evil and want genocide. For example, I don't think that is everyone in Isreal. I also believe the same for the Palestinian people - essentially it is Hamas and those supporting them that I condemn.

What apartheid is being practiced today, that's a totally insane view. Also last I saw, tons of "PoC" groups are actively holding town holiday events where white people are not allowed to join. That's effectively where things are going right now.

Because the "west" is arguably a better way to live in this world. If you disagree you can go work for Boko Haram. I'm sure they'll help you get an IT job.

> "White solidarity" means submission to exploitation.

If you're going to hold white people to something from 200 years ago, then you truly want them to all die. Wonderful world you want to see going forward. One where those people are all dead and gone. And what a wonderful thing for the fact that white people ended slavery (and around the world except in reportedly China and Thailand).

almosthere··on How the hell are you supposed to have a career in tech in 2026?
You're not supposed to. Get a different job.
almosthere··on No Code Is Dead
"No Code" isn't dead - it will have a revival. People are working on systems and platforms to help you build an app without vibe coding - instead it will use llm generated backends and front-ends and look similar to no code solutions, but will have the ability to flex in new ways.

And what? I flagged the post.

The massive amounts of homeless in america that can't do computer stuff.

layoffs.fyi - 2025 was the best year since 2022. I'm fairly certain democrats want me destitute.

Automatic context compression management. I think a killer feature of the LLM provider would be to store the entire context, but automatically compress it with internal LLM calls that summarize the big parts. Summarize large coding files to just class function names, summarize requests, etc...

And even if you have internal compression, also allow it to automatically expand on any portion of that context when a request is specifically about a certain file.

Right now a lot of the industry is trying to create the best agent which in turn means the best compression algorithms.

true

Trademarks are complicated, but they probably won't let anyone claim SQL Studio

I really love it when a single dev makes something like this at a price point that's pretty cheap for us - potentially very lucrative for the developer. That's how we should be doing it - stop working for the man if you can!
almosthere··on Bowen: Trump risks pushing world back to age of empires
yeah, what's the opposite of globalism
almosthere··on The Rise of the Self-Serve Blood Test
walk in lab has been doing that for at least 10 years now, must be a paid ad. geez pay wall to see a paid ad
almosthere··on Thank Goodness Universal Basic Income Saved the AI Economy
Build homes. Do other stuff. Build buildings that house spaceships under construction. Invent anti-gravitic tech (since it's all but been released we should pursue space vehicle design that does not use rocket engines) Create new types of products that GE/Samsung/etc are not creating.

Stop thinking in terms of MUST DO OFFICE WORK. That's dead.

I'm not an oracle, it was a guess.
almosthere··on Dell admits consumers don't care about AI PCs
The typical consumer doesn't care about any checkbox feature. They just care if they can play the games they care about and word/email/netflix.

That being said, netflix would be an impossible app without gfx acceleration APIs that are enabled by specific CPU and/or GPU instruction sets. The typical consumer doesn't care about those CPU/GPU instruction sets. At least they don't care to know about them. However they would care if they didn't exist and Netflix took 1 second per frame to render.

Similar to AI - they don't care about AI until some killer app that they DO care about needs local AI.

There is no such killer app. But they're coming. However as we turn the corner into 2026 it's becoming extremely clear that local AI is never going to be enough for the coming wave of AI requirements. AI is going to require 10-15 simultaneous LLM calls or GenAI requests. These are things that won't do well on local AI ever.

almosthere··on “Stop Designing Languages. Write Libraries Instead” (2016)
I fell out of love with Java not because of the language, but because it got tied up with DI. Don't get me wrong, the allure of DI is really neat. Make all sort of interfaces and just call the function and it can be implemented by dozens of things. Perfect for a lot of use-cases. But then reality hits, and you eventually realize how complex the entire codebase is because it's pattern 1, pattern 2, p3, p4, etc... People are so obsessed with GoF patterns that they're not getting anything done other than spending the first month on a beautiful API.

Then I got into Python and people were building useful server APIs in a day.

Both have their place, but I think the problem with the first route is that EVERYTHING ends up with Spring or CDI and complexity overload even if only 1 thing will ever be "implemented".

almosthere··on US will ban Wall Street investors from buying single-family homes
Apartments, sorry I should have been more clear - all SFH should be owner-occupied
almosthere··on Minneapolis Mayor Blasts Kristi Noem's BS ICE Shoots Kills Woman in Minnesota
I typically post right leaning - she was trying to run away not kill the ICE officer.

What I think needs to happen, investigation. Most likely the ICE officer will still be released because he'll testify he thought he was going to be killed. He will likely no longer be part of ICE in a few hours.

almosthere··on US will ban Wall Street investors from buying single-family homes
Long term these non-occupants will sell as other properties are being purchased by x-renters.

How about stopping all non-occupants from buying properties.
