Then she would do well to look inwards and try to understand why that is. We all have to play the hand we are dealt. The sooner one realises this, the sooner one can begin the path to happiness. "My soul, will you ever be good, simple,

Yeah, I'm not sure on balance it's been a good thing. It's doubled the number of wage slaves and created bitterness amongst them. Now they all get to come home to an unclean house with no food, fork out for someone else to ra

Well, they probably want one, as in the essay, but have just accepted they can't have one and moved on with their lives.

I'd like to have my cake and eat it too. It's your choice whether you want to spend your life being envious about cherry-picked parts of other people's lives, or whether you learn to appreciate and enjoy the things you do hav

Look, governments are big, really big. The department responsible for the website has absolutely nothing to do with the cookie banner law. My website doesn't have a banner because I don't track you. That's how easy it is to n

It doesn't matter. Problems are problems. These are the difficult ones.

That site is run by the EU, so those particular banners are the fault of the EU, yes. Most of the other ones you see are not, though.

by globular-toast 1mo ago
The stupid cookie notice is entirely the fault of the site you are visiting. The EU just made the site show you how it's fucking you.

Yeah, I think if you're a nice person that people enjoy being around then there will be plenty of opportunities. Funnily enough, I used to work on pre-LLM natural language processing at an insurance company about 10 years ago. One of t

Yes, it's realistic. We're at least a couple of generations into this experiment now. Millions of people travel to and from an office to sit on a chair, doing nothing, all day, every day. This in turns keeps a whole bunch of peopl

Indeed, the link in the parent even says it hasn't been used since May 2000. So, yeah, it certainly wasn't used "famously". Perhaps the commenter is thinking of the fact it was used globally prior to May 1, 2000. From a

Just a few: - Lots of diseases which kill indiscriminately, - Thousands of people each year feel the need to commit suicide in ways that affect others profoundly, like via train, - Shoe and clothing sizes are inconsistent and unreliable, -

So this what a deflation economy is like. People don't want to do anything because they feel like whatever they do will be worthless in the near future. I've retreated to doing stuff with my hands. Wokdwork, DIY, that kind of thin

Yep, up to a certain point. Thicker wires like 6mm^2 are stranded again, but the strands are very thick and few.

There is no light without shade. These experiences are necessary for you to appreciate the people you actually mesh with. People are more than just ChatGPT with a vagina.

Yeah, it was confusing to read the parent before I realised they got the terms the wrong way around. To those wondering, "opt" means to choose. "Opt in by default" makes no sense because you didn't choose; this is j

Right. This seems to be written by someone who has never been outside and seen the amount of plastic alongside roads or caught in bushes etc. And this is in a country that is supposed to be good at collecting waste.

I'm surprised to not find the word "salt" anywhere in the page. "Salad" essentially means "salted". Other words like "salsa"/sauce, and sausage share the same root: salt. With this in mind i

It also lists XML, JSON and CSV, so they obviously expect you to provide an external checksum. The source even mentions checksums: https://www.loc.gov/preservation/resources/rfs/data.html

If you use a filesystem that does checksums, like ZFS, then you'd end up doing it twice for no reason. It makes more sense for archival formats like FLAC, though.

Actually, switch to switch would be a crossover cable (pre auto MDI-X, of course). The rule was a crossover would connect devices of the same type, e.g. computer to computer, hub to hub, switch to switch; and patch for devices of different

Yeah, it's not patch vs structured. Patch cables are part of structured cabling. But you won't generally find solid core wires outside of structured cabling, because they are inflexible, unwieldly and in many cases can't even

They are all just twisted pair cables, probably Cat5e or Cat6 etc. The solid ones are usually used for structured cabling, inside walls and trunking, that doesn't often move. Structured cabling is terminated into keystones or patch pan

You want to vibe code your own NAS and filesystem software? AI makes code cheap, it doesn't make true understanding and expertise cheap.

Does this make everything sound like those shitty gen Z speakers you hear everywhere these days? As someone into high end audio I really dislike that sound.

I find these comments fascinating. Do people just switch off and become completely incapable of using the road when using GPS? You can use navigation and your ability to use roads, read road signs etc at the same time!
