Only the elderly who are blind to the decline and can’t even picture a world order outside other than Pax Americana believe we will go back to business as usual. The rest of us realize it will take decades of stability to gain a semblance o

Have you ever been in a union? A union shop is the only place I have ever experienced a true inversion of the power dynamic between myself and my boss even in small part and it is liberating. It was the only time my boss has ever had to ben

I think the wrongful notion comes from the fact that the vast majority of Arch users use and speak about AUR as if it were a part of arch proper, only paying lip service to reviewing PKGBUILDS, etc. They wrap the default package manager in

I used to have a thunderbolt ring network for a ceph backend on my k8s cluster. On Linux load the thunderbolt_net kernel module and they show up the same as any other Ethernet interfaces. Just directly connect them and configure the network

Fox News et al repeat that their populace chants death to America in the streets, as a means to justify the war to their viewership. It’s not a stretch to assume that a small number of consumers of that media would take that message to hear

Many of my conservative acquaintances find the death of those kids to be regrettable in the way you come back to find your car over the line regret your parking job. Certainly they do not feel the tragedy nor any responsibility. The some f

You give too much credit. Many think of it as an acceptable cost of waging war, not something to waste regret on. Some few think of it as a positive (they chant death to America over there).

Well it’s definitely junk or waste or garbage from the moment you are unable to use it or reclaim it. It so happens in the case of starlink satellites that we don’t have to burn that trash, it burns itself. If you want to say space junk is

Most won’t fix bugs in non-competitive games are things that don’t prevent players from engaging the intended gameplay loop and are unlikely to be encountered randomly. Who cares if you can endlessly pickpocket that one npc in oblivion. No

Fair enough, 55k would’ve seemed pretty low to me in the NE for a fresh dev. Not 75k though.

by davkan 3mo ago
Yeah that would make more sense. Though it seems to me AI is currently better at reducing dev headcount than most other roles.

I went to look up how to disable shipped results in facebook marketplace and non Reddit results were all multi page articles. Even if bots are marketing on Reddit at least it’s in short form and without a deluge of ads.

AI slop projects, or vibecoded projects, or projects made with heavy llm assistance, or whatever you want to call them are already divisive and the discussions about whether they aught be allowed are already causing strife in many communiti

The rest of the internet is so enshittified by SEO garbage that searching for a problem you’re having and appending reddit is the only way to get a quick answer without scrolling for 5 pages down an article.

Manufacturing plants bring jobs. What benefits do datacenters bring to their communities?

They could have been category defining, sure. It would still be a fall though is my point. A fall from being a household name across the entire world to a company making components and niche hobbyist and professional equipment.

The future was the death of Kodak as it existed regardless. They were a chemical manufacturing company that did some software. Their core business was doomed regardless. Could they have pivoted? Yes. But even if you correct every missed sho

Kodak was definitely mismanaged in many ways but you are correct in your analysis. If they had pivoted hard to digital they could have been what today? Nikon? Fujifilm? These are known brands that are bigger than Kodak is today but they are

Tricky and 3 were both great fun. The latter “SSX” was decent but was missing the more arcadey fun of the earlier ones. I tried Steep and it did not hit the spot that hitting uber combos in SSX did.

How are you managing updates? I absolutely loved vyos but after their repeated hostility towards non paying users I moved to mikrotik for my routers (already had mikrotik switches). First they stopped publishing LTS images, telling users to

Yes but the death toll was in large part because of Britain forcing the Irish to export everything that wasn’t a potato among a myriad of other oppressive practices.

Personally I am incapable of maintaining concentration on an audiobook while doing even mundane chores. I can only listen to audiobooks on longer drives or road run/bike rides. So I stick with podcasts around the house where attention

That remains to be seen. I for one am doubtful that AI as a whole has meaningfully improved the lives of just about anyone besides the few who have gotten rich. Meanwhile many have already lost their jobs as a result, even if AI is just a c

Neither of your examples would be considered murder by those doing them. In the case of slavery you can’t murder property. A murder is specifically an unjustified killing. And as far as I am aware it is universally considered bad. Which mak

Well they abused fair use and pretended llm learning was the same as human learning. Enough gray area to risk court. A lot less gray area when there are signed contracts involved saying they won’t I think.
