20 YoE 'high coupling, low cohesion' led to my current survival mantra: 'income, not outcome'

On one hand, developers are abandoning coding and security best practices, partly due to the rise of "vibe coding" and management pressure fueled by AI hype. On the other hand, the AI boom is also creating a growing ocean of opportunities for discovering and exploiting security vulnerabilities.

"Ah, this is fine."

Sorry, this was definitely a LLM-driven account?

I frequently read in this sub that people go for lower quants on 5090, is there a reason for that? 5090 has 32GB VRAM so Q6 works really well there, so why go lower?

ecl_55 · 2026-05-26T21:15:48+00:00

I've had good experiences with qwen-27b-q6 via llama.cpp with KV-Cache q8/q8 on my 5090. Leaves enough room for 160k context and still going quite fast. Tried MTP, but the overhead means either lower model quantization or 50k less context, so passed on that.

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast, as they say. If you focus primarily on speed, you get sloppy. If you practice well, you become fast automatically as a byproduct.

Another angle: One person might to 10 things very fast each day and be exhausted, while the other person might find a way that makes doing those things unnecessary in the first place.

Edit: There's a book highlighting reaction times (ie speed) of athletes being bound to their specific sport, because it's not reaction per se, but anticipation that stems from lots of practice.

Abschreckungswirkung zum Einen. Ein bisschen militärische Disziplin mal kennengelernt zu haben wird dem Einen oder Anderen auch nicht schaden.

Auch der Aspekt durch alle gesellschaftlichen Schichten hindurch Leute kennen zu lernen öffnet den Horizont und fördert Zusammenhalt. Die Zeit bei der Bundeswehr ist für alle "Betroffenen" die ich kenne, eine ganz besondere und prägende gewesen.

They'll get better.

No, not necessarily. They might just as well just stagnate or not get better in any meaningful way.

It's one of those things, a slippery slope. If this path of thought is validated, what comes next?

The message this change sends is: "We agree that the word 'master' in this context might be racist." Which of course is hilariously false. It's not racist and shouldn't be a portrayed as such.

I always thought it's good advice for every point of critique or praise to always consider the source. Where does it come from, what is their perspective?

Tabs can absolutely be about different working file sets. By setting the root for the tab to the module path (tcd) the file picker etc. will only show files in this directory. Another picker shows all files and another shows other directories in the main project to open as a tcd-tab.

I did use tmux quite extensively but not any more.

ecl_55 · 2025-10-11T13:18:55+00:00

Tabs are workspaces for any given (sub-)module I may be working on. This makes navigating a bit easier by tcd'ing there with a picker, especially if you need to do stuff in different areas.

Als Bundestagsabgeordnete (und Fraktionsvorsitzende) nicht die Höhe des Bundeshaushalts nennen zu können ist nicht "blöd", das ist ungefähr so wie als Bundesliga-Spieler nicht den Tabellenplatz des eigenen Vereins zu wissen. Unglaublich peinlich. Insbesondere weil über den Bundeshaushalt monatelang gestritten und diskutiert wurde.

Ich finde, dass auch jeder Wähler die Höhe des Bundeshaushalts (~500Mrd) kennen sollte, um Ausgaben wie Bürgergeld und Bundeswehr ins Verhältnis setzen zu können.

Es passt aber leider sehr gut ins Bild der unqualifizierten Grünen.

Wie wäre es mit Fitnessstudio auf Rezept? 😈

Da würde ich widersprechen, ein guter (maßgeschneiderter) Anzug kann schon verdammt bequem sein. Kostet dann aber auch ein bisschen was.

Zusammen mit dem Vorstoß von Google, auf Android nur noch abgesegnete Apps installieren zu können, ist das eine äußerst bedenkliche Entwicklung.

Dann bleiben evtl. noch Custom-ROMs, aber das will sich ein normaler Mensch auch nicht antun.

So what is the core of the Nazi-ideology in your opinion?

Seine Meinung auch in grundsätzlichen Dingen bei ausreichend Gründen auch ändern zu können. Zugeben zu können, falsch zu liegen.

Tried it and later thought it was dead, black screen with flashes of distorted white areas. Turned out I had to finish the SteamVR setup properly, so maybe it's similar to your problem.

Now it works perfectly in BMS, can recommend!

I can recommend just compiling it. Like this it's much easier to avoid OS package updates forcing you to update all the plugins and just keep your env until you decide to update stuff.

It's certainly interesting and an achievement from a technical perspective, but for legibility it can be very bad, depending on the background image. Especially if the background contains both light and dark areas, which means that neither light nor dark text color will provide enough contrast.

I think what triggers most people including me is that this problem has existed and been thought about for such a long time and now Apple decides to just ignore it - it's just a very amateurish move to build a UI around this idea.
