Least informed comment Ive read here
mrits··on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US
does Uber Comfort not cover this already?
mrits··on Ireland shuts last coal plant, becomes 15th coal-free country in Europe (2025)
What is the point of comparing the US to Ireland? Perhaps compare it to something like the state of Oklahoma.
mrits··on GPT‑5.3 Instant
Are you not vibe coding in girlfriend mode?
mrits··on Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War
Anthropic is giving huge bonuses and paying the most. This is the reason talent is there.
mrits··on Hegseth gives Anthropic until Friday to back down on AI safeguards
When was that?
mrits··on A DuckDB-based metabase alternative
Customers don’t want to learn your schema or deal with your clever optimizations either. If you expose a DB make sure you abstract everything away in a view and treat it like a versioned API.
mrits··on Europe's $24T Breakup with Visa and Mastercard Has Begun
That is not true. EU members barely understand their own regulations and often out source to US firms for this.

North Korea would be very excited about this
mrits··on Europe's $24T Breakup with Visa and Mastercard Has Begun
Once European banks realize how horrible EU is to do business with they will reunite with Visa
mrits··on I am happier writing code by hand
If it wasn't a technical constraint it would make sense financially.
mrits··on AI fatigue is real and nobody talks about it
I think we've spent exponentially more effort to ensure the code is readable by machines.

I also don't understand why you assume what the AI generates is more readable by AI than human generated code.

mrits··on htmx: Server Sent Event (SSE) Extension
While no doubt all these changes are for the best I have to wonder how many are using htmx for the same reasons as I do. It’s simple. I don’t need much functionality. I don’t want to spend time in frontend work so any changes are just a pain and only risk losing business. Htmx 1 and Django are working great for me and I don’t need to change for some time.
mrits··on France Aiming to Replace Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc.
Half the EU are a few percentage points away from electing their version of trump.
mrits··on France Aiming to Replace Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc.
I think they are a decade or two late to migrate away. They will end up developing their own in a time where these are loss leaders. It’s likely they will pay for it in a bundle while just not using it.

Not to mention in my experience EU companies don’t know how to migrate away from anything as their tech companies operate at the efficiency of a US government agency.

mrits··on In Europe, wind and solar overtake fossil fuels
It's a very common site and greatly increases the value of the property.

It reminds me of when I was telling my Canadian friend how my pool gets a lot of leaves in it from all the trees and they said that was unfortunate. In Austin the pools get too hot to actually swim in if they aren't shaded.

mrits··on In Europe, wind and solar overtake fossil fuels
It's not always a no-brainer. If you live in a good established neighborhood in a warmer climate you'd have to remove tree coverage. Even if you did that, it's the other guys not oil or gas that will make it a hassle.
mrits··on Porsche sold more electrified cars in Europe in 2025 than pure gas-powered cars
Most practical advancements in robotics have been in and will be in highly specialized systems. Generalized robots are still mostly experimental.
mrits··on Porsche sold more electrified cars in Europe in 2025 than pure gas-powered cars
I don’t think anyone is going to keep an advantage in car manufacturing. The way we build them might totally change in a short duration with the rapid advancement in robotics
mrits··on ClickHouse acquires Langfuse
They are closer to an LLM database than a time series database. But they aren't very close to either.
mrits··on Dev-owned testing: Why it fails in practice and succeeds in theory
Author-Owned proof reading is next

T-Mobile is up and Verizon is down in my house
mrits··on Ozempic is changing the foods Americans buy
Do you think we get our little Debbie snacks from Paris?
mrits··on Ozempic is changing the foods Americans buy
How are they baseless? Why wouldn’t you gain the weight back? You have less muscle mass, out of control cravings, and the thought that you can just get back on later.
mrits··on Ozempic is changing the foods Americans buy
There are plenty of expensive snacks.
mrits··on Rust--: Rust without the borrow checker
Instead of over specifying a program you can just use dynamic memory allocation
mrits··on Rust--: Rust without the borrow checker
I've shipped a lot of Rust software without the understanding or even attempting to learn a lot of the language. There is plenty of things in core libraries around traits that I have no idea how they work or really care.
