tacker2000··on SQL Studio
I thought this was from MS, who also has a program called MSSQL Management Studio, short SQL Studio. They will come after this for sure.
tacker2000··on Creators of Tailwind laid off 75% of their engineering team
Yea this feels kind of unecessary from him and makes him look a bit full of himself.
tacker2000··on A tab hoarder's journey to sanity
Tabs on mobile arent really the same.

I never close tabs or re-use old open tabs on mobile, since the UI just buries them and I just open a new tab if i want to check something, so I will just accumulate useless tabs.

On my Laptop i try to only hoard a handful of tabs. I just noticed I have some open since months, but never gotten to reading them.

The thing is i want to read the content, but never find time, so they just stay there.

tacker2000··on I switched from VSCode to Zed
Also started using emacs (doom) a couple of months ago, after realizing that jetbrains and vscode are going to be AI-shittified, and there is no turning back.

At this point, I would recommend to every coder worth his salt to just jump to vim/neovim or emacs, these editors will be around for the next 1000 years and you wont need to fight against some BS features and you wont need to switch ever egain. The 1-2 month learning curve is worth it!

tacker2000··on Total monthly number of StackOverflow questions over time
Not sure why you are always posting the same regurgitated answer to the legitimate concerns here.

There is clearly a big issue with the way SO handles moderation, which many people complain about and why these SO threads always get so much attention.

Also its now very clear that the current status quo isnt working since the site is in a death spiral now.

If the “goal” doesnt work, you have to change and fix the “goal” and not force people to “understand” it.

Frankly you are posting here in the same way the usual SO mod acts.

I was also once a contributor, but I have the same opinions about the harsh rules and points system.

He already has the FIFA Peace Prize, he doesn’t care anymore.
tacker2000··on 2025 Letter
1/3 of the housing stock in Vienna is social housing which belongs to and is managed by the city.

They offer low rents and therefore a large part of tenants dont compete on the private market, therefore pulling overall rents lower.

tacker2000··on OpenAI's cash burn will be one of the big bubble questions of 2026
No, actually the EU cant force this, you are of course right.

The countries like Ireland and Luxembourg need to stop granting these loopholes.

tacker2000··on OpenAI's cash burn will be one of the big bubble questions of 2026
The EU doesnt collect income/corporate tax, the individual countries do.

These big corps use holdings in low tax jurisdisctions like Ireland and Luxemburg, funnel all their EU subsidiaries’ revenues there and end up paying 0 tax in the individual EU countries.

This system is actually legal, EU lawmakers should pass laws to prevent this.

tacker2000··on ManusAI Joins Meta
What was the advantage of manus vs other providers?
tacker2000··on Publishing your work increases your luck
This is pretty much the only way open source doesnt lead to burnout and continues to be maintained, and a lot of projects are doing this already successfully.

Get “street cred” in the dev space by being open source, and let the enterprise customers “pay” for it.

tacker2000··on VSCode rebrands as "The open source AI code editor"
Im glad i moved from vscode to neovim last year, and since one month i’ve switched over to emacs, running doom (which gives you vim commands and much more).

I’ve set up LSPs, completions, etc and although one needs to read up a little bit at first, i feel that this could finally be a stable platform/ide for once, and i wouldnt need to jump ship every couple of years because of some enshittification.

tacker2000··on Your inbox is a bandit problem
Yea whatsapp is just a cognitive overload nightmare. Everybody is now scheduling important stuff there, inbetween unstructured spam and whatnot, its the worst channel of them all.

You cant search properly, you cant flag or filter, the desktop apps are just slow and shitty, basically the whole thing is not optimized for productivity at all.

tacker2000··on How I Left YouTube
Yea I was also looking for this info. But his Linkedin says he is still at Google. So is this some weird cliffhanger now?
tacker2000··on Ryanair fined €256M over ‘abusive strategy’ to limit ticket sales by OTAs
Facebook also does this.

But the EU posted a press release last year that they are investigating this, as it could breach the DMA. [1]

The Guardian doesn't fall under the DMA though.

tacker2000··on Italian Competition Authority Fines Apple $115M for Abusing Dominant Position
How is the EU tech company lack of growth related to fining companies for not obeying the law?

Yes, Europe is a laggard in tech, but I don't see any relationship here. Even if they wouldn't fine these companies, EU would still lag, and now that they are fining them, EU companies are not at an advantage, nor growing faster.

tacker2000··on The biggest CRT ever made: Sony's PVM-4300
yea, most people would have dumped the stock back then and not HODL'ed it through the 2000s until now...
tacker2000··on Show HN: Jmail – Google Suite for Epstein files
Incredible! Great work!

One suggestion: please add previous/next navigation on the images, so that one doesnt have to open an image, close, open again.

tacker2000··on Backing up Spotify
I would guess this can be hidden under normal music streaming activity? But one would need lots of proxies!
tacker2000··on TailwindSQL – Like TailwindCSS, but for SQL queries in React Server components
Wow holy abstraction!

Weird stuff, seems to be vibe-coded using cursor and also the github issues are full of spam.

tacker2000··on Apple Maps claims it's 29,905 miles away
Once EVs are good enough i am sure they will reach mass adoption. Lets let the market decide.

Im certainly no fossil fuel “muggle” that is beholden to this industry and wants to destroy the planet for “our” children, whatever this personal attack and scaremongering even means.

But this is just the level at which you EV evangelists discuss. Sitting on their high horse and using FUD and ad hominems, not being able to have a factual discussion.

If you think that EVs will solve all our climate issues then im sorry to disappoint you but this is not going to happen.

tacker2000··on Airbus to migrate critical apps to a sovereign Euro cloud
Could be, but so what?

The fact is the US and China are steamrolling us with their IT companies since decades.

We need to wake up and do it ourselves.

tacker2000··on Airbus to migrate critical apps to a sovereign Euro cloud
Silicon valley has its origins with HP and Intel, producing hardware and chips.

Yes, the www was created at Cern, but this is only a small part of the whole tech industry and history as a whole.

Also before that, Arpanet, the precursor of the Internet, was created and funded in the US by the military and the top unis.

tacker2000··on Airbus to migrate critical apps to a sovereign Euro cloud
Wouldnt say its laziness.

The US has a long history of funding the Silicon Valley expansion using Darpa and other federal agencies for example.

Europe never had such a thing, and they had a fragmented market for a long time.

The big money is in the US, thats why the talent goes there.

So you are the enlightened one because you drive an EV or what? I dont think that this divisive and patronizing attitude is helpful in this discussion.

Range anxiety is a fact, only recently electric vehicles have started to have more acceptable and practicable ranges and also, the charger network is evolving more and more. In winter the ranges are also reduced by about 10-20%.

So I dont think people cant see the "magic", the mass market is just risk averse and doesnt want to get stuck in the middle of the highway with 2 screaming kids in the back seat.

Also now that most European countries (and also the US) have stopped subsidizing EVs, the real costs are shining through, so maybe that 1.9L Diesel engine looks more attractive now again.

tacker2000··on Denial of service and source code exposure in React Server Components
I am also in love with Inertia, it lets you use a React frontend and a Laravel backend without a dedicated API or endpoints, its so much faster to develop and iterate, and you dont need to change your approach or mental model, it just makes total sense.

Instead of creating routes and using fetch() you just pass the data directly to the client side react jsx template, inertia automatically injects the needed data as json into the client page.
