It's less about YAML itself than the MS yaml-based API for interacting with build-servers. It's just so hard to check and test and debug.

Yes. Most of my custom pipeline stuff is a thin wrapper around a normal-ass scripting-language because the yaml/macro stuff is so hard to check and debug.

Honestly, everything about GH actions/AzDO pipelines is infuriating. The poor tooling with poor write-time assertions are just so frustrating. Give me a proper platform that I can run locally on my development machine. but , if those

If a person's great-grandparent is the colonizer can you really say they have a "home country" beyond the one they were born in?

Yup. It always comes back to "both sides are bad, so vote Republican". Dril said it best. https://x.com/dril/status/473265809079693312?lang=en

I'm not. The last few years have made it very clear what the actual political goals of the VC-tech world are. I was as disappointed as anybody, but I'm not surprised anymore.

AFAIK all information anybody had at the time was that he grew up in a good gun-loving Republican family and he'd written some silly memes on the shell casings. The discord chats and his relationship with a trans woman were AFAIK not r

He literally threatened the entire country of Australia because of an Australian journalist asking how profitable the presidency has been for him. The number of people in these comments pretending not to see what happened is flabbergasting.

The problem is that he gave Trump a fig leaf of an excuse to go after him, and that's all they needed.

This is the opposite of what I want. I want the cool android-only stuff they build to be available on the web, not the web to be available on the desktop.

I'm not talking about the city running the bus, I'm talking about the city charging fees for the bus. Is it more or less socialist to ask users to pay for a government service at point of consumption?

I realize it's a small part of a whole, but it's kind of hard to ignore the broad rejection of environmentalism that happened across-the-board in English-speaking Canada. Green Energy Act was hated and cancelled, eco-fees were hat

Huh, I was basing this on NFT gas prices since that's the part of blockchain I've always been most curious about, I didn't realize that simple ETH transfers required far less gas than things like minting and selling NFTs.

With the expensive and slow transactions of BTC and Ether, is there any crypto currency that is actually practical to spend on something like Paypal?

Literally any scarce and durable good can be a store of value. A pound of Osmium is about a million bucks. So building massive server farms to store something equivalent to an inert rock is kind of uninteresting.

Disposal fees were a thing here in Ontario, the idea being that consumers should pay up-front for the cost of disposal, and therefore expensive-to-dispose things (like things containing batteries) should cost more. We rewarded the governmen

But by the all-encompassing definition you have here, having a military is socialism. Paying bus fare is socialism. Running elections is socialism. I'd argue that such a definition of socialism is so expansive as to be worthless.

by Pxtl 1y ago
Yeah, I think we've all seen the term "socialism" prettymuch destroyed into having no coherent meaning beyond "when government does stuff" for as long as I can remember, for example. I mean, I've seen people de

I'd rather see phones that aren't perfectly flat but instead have proper built-in mounting things. Give me some screw holes to attach a set of 4 bumpers to the corners, and a camera mount thread hole in the bottom.

Yeah when my last phone case broke I tried carrying it nude and that was what immediately struck me. So I bought some adhesive rubber knurl stickers for the edges but they wouldn't stay on because my Pixel 7 has a curved edge - would

This is basically UBI for parenting, so it's hard to see it as "entirely separate".

Literally what Canada did under Harper, and then grew substantially larger under Trudeau. End result is that Canada's child poverty rate was cut in half over the aughts. https://x.com/trevortombe/status/110041

That ignores the way Twitter sorts replies, which always use an algorithmic weight-based listing.

As much as artists see generative AI as a goddamned abomination for a variety of good reasons, classical animation is a place where it can do a lot, such as inbetweening or providing alternative backgrounds to an existing scene. Imho the bi

It's funny how HTML p tags and instant messaging apps have kind of brought back the distinction between "return" and "enter" where generally "shift-enter" means simple line-break/return, while regular

i do like how many apps are starting to play nice with 3rd party authenticators. i use ms authenticator for a bunch of things. Although knowing MS it has some massive license fee for them to support.
