Trump’s EV retreat is a huge win for his No. 1 trade rival
Allison Morrow,  Reporter  -  CNN

_Stephan: Because Trump, his vassals, and the Republican Party think climate change is not real, and just a “con”, America is going backwards, while China is being handed world leadership of the EV transition. It is just one of a dozen other trends reducing the geopolitical stature and economic success of the United States. Yet millions of Americans still don’t get what Trump … ⌘ Read more

Windows 11, now with even more “AI” where you don’t want it

An initial investigation into WDDM on ReactOS
One of the problems the ReactOS project continually has to deal with is that Windows is, of course, an evolving, moving target. Trying to be a Windows-compatible operating system means you’re going to have to tie that moving target down, and for ReactOS, the current focus is on being compatible with Windows Server 2003 “or later”. This “or later” part is getting a major boost in a very crucial area. The history of ReactOS spans a wider rang … ⌘ Read more

What’s your go-to strategy for giving engineers access to production?

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m pretty sure that’s going to happen at some point or has already happened. 😃 Is this “the dark web”? 😅

It happened.

“Can you help me debug this program? I vibe coded it and I have no idea what’s going on. I had no choice – learning this new language and frameworks would have taken ages, and I have severe time constraints.”

Did I say “no”? Of course not, I’m a “nice guy”. So I’m at fault as well, because I endorsed this whole thing. The other guy is also guilty, because he didn’t communicate clearly to his boss what can be done and how much time it takes. And the boss and his bosses are guilty a lot, because they’re all pushing for “AI”.

The end result is garbage software.

This particular project is still relatively small, so it might be okay at the moment. But normalizing this will yield nothing but garbage. And actually, especially if this small project works out fine, this contributes to the shittiness because management will interpret this as “hey, AI works”, so they will keep asking for it in future projects.

How utterly frustrating. This is not what I want to do every day from now on.

@bender@twtxt.net So far so good 😊 I’ll let you know how things go though!
