Is it the steel casing that becomes radioactive, or just the graphite itself? What sorts of transmutations are happening?

> that the ease at which one can turn a function into an exposed, documented API is inversely proportional to the likelihood of it being a quality API. I guess we'll just call this "liampulles postulate of apis"

Fascinating, given that I grew up near Burlington, Kansas, I just must be glowing at night? Come up, stop with the BS. And Stop burning coal.

We used to have things called WSDLs and XSD schemas that made it _extraordinarily_ easy to make remote calls. Granted, a bunch of ding dongs never loaded their own WSDL to look at it, creating a bad rap. We do have: * WADLs: https:/&#

uh... yeah, so, back to burning 1/2kg per kw/h?

The anti-nuclear bullshit needs to stop. Germany got it wrong. German power generation is some of the dirtiest in the world. In 2024 321g CO2eq/kWh. Right now at the time of posting, literally they're emitting 1/2 a kilogram

Hah, anecdote incoming, but 100x times a resource usage is probably accurate. Given, 100x of a human hair is still just a minuscule grain of sand, but that’s the scale margins Mainframe operators work in. As one grey beard said it to me: Ja

I’m going to have to disagree. What happened what national ids are expanded to include letters? Or extra digits? I’ve lived through this mess a few times in the migrations are painful and take a ton of time away from solving actual busines

What languages are people still writing mainframe code in? In 2011 working for a prescription rx processor, COBOL was still the name of the game.

I'm still trying to mentally grok the Clojure model and syntax hah. On my todo list. Clojure users seem to love it though. Do you have a tutorial that could sell it to me?

Damn, I didn't of that. Yeah, Cloudflare is [technically] a [friendly] MITM attack. Didn't think of that.

Java performance isn't the fastest, that's ok, a close 3rd place behind C/CPP ain't bad. And you're still ahead of Go, and 10x or more ahead of Python and Ruby. Java syntax isn't perfect, but it is consistent,

Have a question, is the TLSSessionState part of the signature nonce? I remember this being an anti-MITM measure for u2f

jfc all we want is the opposite. Think of the massive emissions reduction if we reduced all physical spam to emails. 1. diesel needed to cut the trees down 2. diesel needed haul logs to saw mills 3. natural/gas/coal needed to make

> SMS is the only 2FA method that can be easily deployed at scale No, no, no, no, NO. No it's not. And you have zero proof of this. Its done this way because its the lowest effort to give security theater.

The problem isn't discrimination of SMS number types, it's SMS itself should be illegal, period.

All I want my car to do is drive from a -> b. Connecting AirPlay is nice, but not necessary. All other touchscreen stuff is dangerous, crappy, and outdated the minute it's rolled over the showroom floor. Just stop, please.

Why is literally anyone using Oracle’s paid version of OpenJDK? Like why ? I could understand the paid version of Graal, given it’s paid features are pretty sick. Praise there are a million free versions of openjdk.

I very much enjoy single player rather than multi. The plot twist at the end of Crysis, when you don’t realize there was an intelligent purpose to a game mechanic… was an absolutely unforgettable moment. I don’t want to put any spoilers… so

This is fascinating. As an engineer, my mind always goes to: "what are the practical challenges": * How do you splice without crushing the core? * How do you terminate/splice and maintain vacuum? * How do you terminate at all

My $0.02: Not a fan of wind anymore. The land area required and natural habitats intruded on or destroyed is just something I no longer want to see more of. It'd be nice to be outside and not have man made structures everywhere. Is it
