This is always a tough spot in JSON, I think. You want the `id` in the node or edge object, but you also want uniqueness. I don't think there's a great way to get this any be able to just `JSON.parse()` and go without further fi

Most folks are taking it as understood, these days, that fossil fuel refineries are something we should be having fewer of. That argument's mostly settled save for the echoes of the shouting. The externalities of data centers should be

This is a rewriting of history. Politically extreme oppositional defiant disorder and a concerted effort to sow active disinformation are the roots of the tree that bore that fruit, not vaccine mandates . Mandates followed the oppositional

Is Israel fighting Hamas, or every Gazan? Because Israel has herded Gazans to the border and is steadfastly refusing to guarantee that they may return to their homes if refugee placement and aid becomes available in Egypt. It’s almost as if

Look, I am both ideologically and morally more aligned with Israel (or the pre-Otzma-Yehudit-getting-an-ounce-of-power Israel anyway) than I ever could be with regards to Hamas. But "what's the alternative to doing an ethnic clean

Canonical's interview process is legendarily invasive and dumb, and they get very touchy when you tell them so. I enjoyed how, when I pointed out that the questions about high school extracurriculars would narrow down many of my demogr

The employees didn't get a job at another company. They got the opportunity to interview for a job at another company. I don't know about you, but I usually do fine at making that happen myself.

The framing of Gazans as a whole as "Hamas's people" is at best problematic; Hamas is an accelerationist and revolutionary movement that believes that dead Gazans advance their aims . Israel seems pretty happy to help Hamas

Macs are better for me for a lot of things, too, sure. When I'm not doing computer-toucher things, though, I find it isn't materially different. And a lot of people want the affordances without the need to do those kinds of thin

I mean I haven't had it for a couple years because I swapped it for a M1 Max. But a lot more than that, just absentmindedly. Even when they unloaded over time.

As far as screen size goes, my iPad is about the same size as my 11" Air was, though not widescreen. And the keyboard's small, but Apple has prior art there too and you can get a bigger iPad if you really want to (though, sure, it

Just checking: are you saying that the M2 and M3 make 8GB/256GB viable, or that they were for the M1 Air too? Because I had an M1 Air with 8GB of RAM for a while, and that thing was painful . I haven't had to be careful about how

I've had a couple of Chromebooks and enjoyed them, but I never found one with a keyboard that didn't feel terrible to type on. Does one exist today?

I'm not sure those people are the intended Macbook audience, though. How many of those people wouldn't be roughly as productive using an iPad or something? I've found myself doing almost all my non-development, non-media stuf

If you're talking about OpenShift on rented commodity compute, maybe. If you're talking about GKE/AKS/EKS or similar, I disagree wholeheartedly; you're then paying several multiples on the compute and a little ext

You've basically described k3s, I think. I run it in my homelab (though I am enough of a tryhard to have multiple control planes) as well as on a couple of cloud servers as container runtimes (trading some overhead for consistency). k3

I have some bad news for you about the types in Python--which, for the record, I really like and have made me willing to write Python!--if your objection is that the types are "just an illusion". Much like Pydantic, good use of Ty
