It'd be nice - even without excellent, compelling arguments like this one - if we relegated cars to being something you hire when you need, displacing them with bicycles and public transport. I guess CCC being from Germany, they'v

Relating to those pay bumps: Amazon has targets for staff turnover, which will potentially purge anyone who gets incremental pay increases even if they start doing that (which AIUI they don't really)

It is a neat process and I hope they develop it further, but it is yet another example of the kind of thing people cling to so as to avoid recognising that part of net zero requires behavioural changes. "Despite the facility taking up

Matrix, xmpp, COI/delta chat will all be unaffected by this. They'll still be available through fdroid and probably the play store etc. What worries me is the criminalisation of the workarounds. Obligations on providers are one th

No, many older systems work perfectly well and are sensible and intuitive. Vertical scaling a single box or HA pair, for instance, is generally easier than working with distributed systems, for instance, and is perfect for many (not all) us

Runbooks are, in my experience at least, generally sticking plasters over systems that are convoluted, unreliable, or otherwise broken. They're a symptom of teams that are running so hot that they can only put out fires, not prevent th

Supplemental supplement anecdote: I also really like Floradix for its gentler GI effects. I was anaemic (from a long term health condition) and well, now I'm not. Daily seems fine, too. I also use an app to check my haemoglobin levels.

Jacobin is a very well established, multi-author publication. The author of this piece is, as far as I understand it, not actually able to control the presentation. Even in a traditional newspaper, a subeditor would have laid out the piece.

This is absolutely baffling to me. I live in the UK and was given a non-NHS prescription after a diagnosis for ADHD, and a month's medication is £13. Why are pharmaceuticals in the US so expensive?

I tried to do this with every laptop I've bought: something that will last and be repairable. Three Dell XPS 13s later I'm buying a Starbook. I hope it'll be the last for a long, long time. Desktops I've had more luck wi

I have never had a car. I'm 31 and I don't plan on having one. It is definitely a privilege to have planned my life around transport options that are more environmentally friendly, but I'm actually pretty committed to it. As

The problem I have is that the action is designed to cause no inconvenience whatsoever to anybody. 2.5C is going to cause megadeaths, and we in the west aren't interested in giving up our cars for it, or raising prices in our datacentr

This is a fair point: if we ditched car centric urban planning and were freer with capital for experimental projects like tidal lagoons and so on, we'd have achieved much of what we need to do.

I remain stunned by the lack of action on fossil fuels and lifestyles generally. Even leaving aside the fact we are wrecking the planet, we rely on some deeply unsavoury countries for oil, gas and coal and we could have made a conscious cho

For event streaming, a shout out for redis's streams data type. A lot like Kafka for a lot less administrative overhead. Works in cluster mode, too.

Mass migration has little to do with it. The fact is, adding taxpayers to the pool who we haven't had to raise or educate is a net benefit to us (even if it is a loss to their countries of origin). The problem is that we decided to tur
