The problem is that the US constitution was written before people realized that the natural consequence of that type of constitution is a two party system. You cannot have a viable third party in the long run because it will necessarily wea

Heh fair enough. I conflated the UNIX shell and command line as a general concept.

Oh sweet. I always appreciate having the ability to script this kind of thing.

To be fair FT is a fantastic source. That’s why it costs as much as it does. But yeah the paywall sucks if you just want the one article.

So two factors that affected this report: 1. Kaiser Permanente healthcare strike sidelined 28,000 workers. The strike ended on February 23rd. 2. The severe weather resulting in two major snow storms made it so that lots of businesses were s

The issue isn’t 5.4 > 5.2 etc. It is that there is a second dimension which is the model size and a third dimension which is what it is tuned for. And when you are releasing so quickly that flagship your instant mini model is on one nume

In some cases solving a problem is about restating the problem in a way that opens up a new path forward. “Why do planets move around the sun?” vs “What kind of force exists in the world that makes planets tethered to the sun with no visibl

Is there any reason to keep upgrading if the apps keep doing their jobs perfectly fine? Pull in a stable version of the framework and the associated docs and stay there.

I mean today I am one of the 10,000 people learning this for the first time. But it does seem like an awkward term which seems to mean “high level government official who is likely to be corrupt” or just “politician”. Don’t really see the n

Apparently that’s not what Wikipedia defines it as. More like potentially shady high level government official.

> politically exposed persons I do not know what this euphemism means. Is this like the modern trend of calling inmates “justice involved individuals”?

So consider a setup where System A sends messages via a queue to System B. Let’s say that the maximum rate of System A producing messages is 100 messages/second and for System B let’s make it 20 m/s for consuming messages. In this

Exactly my sentiment. Will they sell out to Google or Microsoft this time?

Ah that makes sense. I was wondering why I haven’t heard of cases of successfully attacks like this. Thank you for the info!

That’s fair but I also have to trust every provider between my DNS server and LE’s servers to not intercept DNS responses. Since DNS isn’t encrypted anyone anywhere between them can modify the traffic and get a certificate if I understand c

Am I just stupidly missing something or does this in theory allow anyone who controls a DNS server for my domain or anyone who controls traffic between LE and the DNS server for my domain to get a TLS certificate they can use to impersonate

I mean enshittification has not begun quite yet. Everyone is still raising capital so current investors can pass the bag to the next set. Soon as the money runs out monetization will overtake valuation as top priority. Then suddenly when yo

I was recently doing some very specific web scraping of some very public very static documents. About 25% of them use a soup of divs with hashes for class names. Not a <main> or <article> or <section> in sight. I am fine w

I recently started looking into Zulip and while I can see that it is a complete product its mobile UI is so cluttered and funky I don’t understand how anyone could use it. The desktop web UI seems OK but try this on your phone: https:&#x2F

The StarCraft Battle Cruiser Engage sound is cut off which made me sad as it’s one of my favorites.

So like git and GitHub/GitLab/BitBucket should have made GitHub enshittification impossible?

How does Zulip compare to Campfire and Stoat (and other FOSS) efforts? How is onboarding for non-tech people?

Where I have used SQLite most successfully is really two use cases. First, I use it for data processing. Say I need to retrieve lots of data and transform it to a different setup. I could do that in something like Python but SQL is just mor

I was just happy I could start mowing again. But since it is a Craftsman they have a ton of accessories available on the used market for very cheap so I might pick up a plow for like $100 to see how it does for next winter.

I would be happy to share but the tractor is currently buried under a bunch of snow. If you remind me in the spring I will share!
