DHTML means Dynamic HTML, not distributed html


Fairly sure that was a joke given the rest of the paragraph.


And SHTML for Server Side Includes.


Yes! And occasionally, I still miss them.


distributed word did not existed in the dictionary back then


It was a joke.


I assume it was a joke since he then goes on to talk about Dynamic Drive and would for sure know what DHTML stood for.


Why would open-source AI be any different from any other AI? AI is AI. Being opensource does not make it better or worst. Is being built by people, and being used by people.


AI is a force multiplier. The more people with access to it, the better a chance that someone will do a lot of damage, by choice or by accident.


Because you would be able to use the FLOSS AI, whereas currently only "trusted" companies like Microsoft can.


There are lots of things you can do with weights which you can't do with API access.


try Crystal lang (https://crystal-lang.org/)


This. I dont really need true essence of metaprogramming craziness of Ruby. I need Ruby-like, dev happiness, readability and performance. Wish Crystal would catch up and get some attention.


Kotlin is very ruby-like and performant, check it out. If you don't mind using JetBrains IDEs, I'd give kotlin a try.


There's been only a couple of "privatisations" in entire world, that actually resulted in some benefits.

Privatisation means, "you that don't give a fc... take care of that problem for me"


From my user's perspective, it seems that privatization of Germany's phone and Internet market has worked pretty well, and lowered prices all around.

Though I don't know if that was because there was a huge boom of Internet access around that time, and telephony prices would have dropped anyway, or if that was one of the examples where it did work, inherently.


Because your telecom regulator has teeth and there's competition? When German T-Com bought Slovak Telecom monopoly they continued just like that. Forced old ISDN tech on everyone for high prices (probably to clear out stockpiles) and suppressed DSL for a few years, till some last mile access for competition was required by law.

BTW was in Germany myself many times and it's surprising how bad coverage there's outside city centers.


LTE/5G data is extremely expensive in Germany compared to essentially everywhere else in the EU.

Here’sa comparison what 30 EUR per month for you in terms of LTE data volume in 2016, and I don’t think there’s any real contracts with unlimited volume available for 30 EUR still: https://imgur.com/NXu0ZoP

Getting a contract for unlimited data with the German Telekom costs 85 EUR/mo currently, while it would cost 35 EUR on t-mobile.nl


Funnily enough, in my experience Germany has the same (actually seemingly worse) issue as the UK; many people have poor home internet speeds due to the fact that the local (copper?) legacy infrastructure is privately owned by DT/BT, and there is little to no incentive to have that upgraded


amazing work and pacience


Awesome, love it, can I go back to 2018?
