That's cool and all, but I personally enjoy it because of Ted's personality specifically, not his specific political affiliation. And also who cares? It's clearly a joke, one that happens to appeal to my particular sense of h

At least the Zodiac killer is recent enough for uncovering their identity to feel sort of feasible. That said, I personally find the idea of it being Ted Cruz so amusing that I see little reason to amend my head-canon, regardless of evidenc

Hang on, is this just a repo dump or not? Because it looks like a repo dump, in which case I would be very surprised if any passwords or other personal information is included, at least at a reasonable scale.

Am I completely crazy in thinking that we use the terms sync and async incorrectly in software? Synchronous: Simultaneous, at the same time. Asynchronous: Not Synchronous So the basic category would be something like serial vs not serial wh

I've been seeing gRPC support in the various api-gateway solutions for a decent while now, was always interested in its use in the abstract, but having a human readable interface would be very difficult to give up, and something I pers

People may underestimate how fast modern machines are, but that is probably in part because, at least in my fairly relevant experience, I have literally never seen a CPU bottleneck under normal circumstances. Memory pressure is nearly alway

This is a solid observation albeit one I think most people come to eventually. For the most part once you have already dealt with the spectrum of tools, the new ones just aren't different enough to be worth killing yourself to keep up

That is amazing. My work machine is on Big Sur and the minor glitches are pretty constant. Having bluetooth connected can cause weird issues, the dock and top bar frequently forget where they are supposed to be, and quite a few other simila

Amusingly, trying to debug issues with Windows is equally frustrating, but for different reasons.

I don't actually think macOS is any less buggy than windows, as someone who uses both constantly. And wsl2 is decent if shockingly hard to set up properly. But damn, having my macbook not relocate all my windows when disconnecting from

I don't know if the splintering is that big a deal. For nearly everybody Ubuntu for personal use, rhel for enterprise right? Ubuntu you just use gnome, and I've don't think I've ever actually seen redhat (or any centos)

Haven't been, so I wonder how it compares with rural US, where, at least in some of the places I've been, people are quite intolerant in abstract, but almost universally friendly in person.

Yeah especially in a city for 1k a month, although if you pick the right type of rural crime is almost nonexistent.

We had the refreshers as well. We theoretically had access to fairly extensive private data. Not without leaving a pretty extensive paper trail, but the access was there.

This is disingenuous. Unless I somehow completely missed something, US military support was absolutely crucial in fighting back the Taliban.

"For some reason", for obvious reasons, given that in the years following 9/11 there was real backlash directed at muslims. I'm not saying it's fair but it's obvious what the difference is.

The US couldn't do much about it from what I understand. But yeah, Pakistan's support for the Taliban was as much a factor as anything in how badly the US failed here, or at least that seems to be the opinion of many of the rankin
