Your comment isn't adding anything. Bizarre or no, they explain their reasoning, so it's worth explaining why you disagree. The "largely voyeurs" effect observed on Reddit is well attested to, and the idea that TikTok ta

I probably should have just said "cross-reference," but here's a hand-wavy scenario. The gist is, the more information you have on a persona, the more you can filter out identity candidates. So, for example, if you have uniqu

That's putting the cart before the horse. FSF's goal with GPL was to make all software free. Removing or sealing off projects is antithetical to that. That's what I'm getting at. I should have been more clear, my point w

Some of those are contextual, but "ought to be done" is certainly future tense, it's referring to a future activity. It's a pretty apt example for future passive, juxtaposing the future active "will be done." O

Afair Karpenter handles that. AWS gives some lead time before taking away spot instances. Karpenter puts a taint on the node and spins up a replacement. The scheduler gently evicts the pods, and nothing is lost. This does require architecti
