I don’t see how IMAP would prevent you from having old emails
dieortin··on IKEA ditches Zigbee for Thread going all in on Matter smart homes
The devices you personally own also do not say anything about Matter itself.
dieortin··on IKEA ditches Zigbee for Thread going all in on Matter smart homes
You need to involve Google if you want to test your own Matter device on Android, which is an OS made by Google. How does that say anything about Matter itself?
dieortin··on IKEA ditches Zigbee for Thread going all in on Matter smart homes
Are you seriously using some footnote about Android as proof that Google somehow has any control over Matter?

It’s not acceptable for any LED bulb, let alone one as expensive as Philips HUEs are, to die so soon.
dieortin··on Cloudflare to introduce pay-per-crawl for AI bots
> My point is that you wouldn’t expect any one of them to be so much better than the others at crawling that it would give them an advantage

And why not?

dieortin··on Volvo delivers 5,000th electric semi
I don’t think using a diesel engine would make the fuel efficiency losses from having bad aerodynamics any better
dieortin··on Starcloud can’t put a data centre in space at $8.2M in one Starship
> there is just going to be a lot of data generative stuff in space in the future

Why?

dieortin··on Why is the Rust compiler so slow?
Why use C++ at that point? Also, pre declaring classes instead of including the corresponding headers has quite a few drawbacks.
dieortin··on Gemini CLI
AFAIK you can very easily get an API key from AI studio without creating any cloud project
dieortin··on YouTube's new anti-adblock measures
Assuming your numbers are correct, you’re ignoring all the rest of the infra
dieortin··on The Grug Brained Developer (2022)
So you think that not knowing how to operate a debugger will exempt your code from having bugs, or you from having to debug them?
dieortin··on Andrej Karpathy: Software in the era of AI [video]
It’s very obvious this account was just created to promote your product…
dieortin··on WhatsApp introduces ads in its app
> When we did build payment enforcement, I think we only set it on for Spain and maybe the US.

Can I ask why Spain specifically?

This is explained in the link you’re commenting on.
dieortin··on Google Cloud Incident Report – 2025-06-13
So you need to write a test for every single possible case to consider your code tested?
dieortin··on Waymo rides cost more than Uber or Lyft and people are paying anyway
Why would fast acceleration and deceleration be more efficient? When you drive an electric car it’s usually the opposite: fast acceleration drains the battery fast, and slow deceleration allows for better regenerative braking without having to use the actual brakes.
dieortin··on Chatbots are replacing Google's search, devastating traffic for some publishers
> I’m fine with regular old fashioned search engines

> I now instruct chatgpt to search the web for me and I read the result

I wouldn’t exactly classify ChatGPT as an old fashioned search engine

dieortin··on How Compiler Explorer Works in 2025
> $3,00015

That’s a very weird place to put a comma. I have no idea what number this is representing (since I doubt it’s $3 a month)

dieortin··on Ukraine destroys more than 40 military aircraft in drone attack deep in Russia
You’re surprised by that, yet you do the same with Russian official statements, which have an even worse track record?
dieortin··on Swift and the Cute 2d game framework: Setting up a project with CMake
Quite a few things. For a C++ only project, the biggest ones would be reproducibility and speed. But beyond those, I find it saner overall: the language is way easier to understand (~python), and the model of packages, targets, visibility etc makes it easy to organize and manage a large codebase.

The worst part about Bazel for C++ is that it’s not yet as widespread as CMake or plain old Makefiles so it can be harder to get third party libraries into your project, but that’s changing quite fast with the bazel registry, and you have things like rules_cc that help you run other build systems inside bazel.

dieortin··on How we decreased GitLab repo backup times from 48 hours to 41 minutes
They’re too ridiculous… unless a more optimal solution does not exist
dieortin··on Swift and the Cute 2d game framework: Setting up a project with CMake
I really recommend Bazel (https://bazel.build)
dieortin··on Ukraine destroys more than 40 military aircraft in drone attack deep in Russia
They didn’t drop any ammo, the drones themselves exploded on top of the wings, making the plane catch fire. So if there were tires (I didn’t see any) they didn’t do much to protect the planes.

Also, I don’t know why you would consider the reports in russian media. There’s more than 4 planes being destroyed on video.

dieortin··on Google Duo will be replaced by Google Meet in Sept 2025
Apple doesn’t show green (or any) bubbles for WhatsApp users because WhatsApp is not interoperable with SMS or iMessage
dieortin··on Google is using AI to censor independent websites like mine
Grok is from xAI, a company he separately funded. It wasn’t part of the acquisition of Twitter.
dieortin··on I used o3 to find a remote zeroday in the Linux SMB implementation
All your content threads from the past months consist on you saying how much better OpenAI products are than the competition, so that doesn’t inspire a ton of trust.
dieortin··on Google's AI Mode is 'the definition of theft,' publishers say
Is there a difference from what Google is doing here and what other players (OpenAI, Perplexity, Phind…) are doing?

Pretty sure Google has used Docs internally since long before COVID.
