$3 isn't this kind of a small problem? I miss rideshare service, in Denmark we have mess of expensive high quality taxis that you cannot get hold of when you need one.

Lol, I wouldn't bet on us getting to that infliction point. All of this will be forgotten when the orange monkey is gone. So if it has to happen it has to happen yesterday.

IMO the UI is a killer feature. I don't need to configure and monitor cron jobs.

Amortization makes sense for things that have some inherent value. Like a microscope or computer. A bankrupt company can still sell their computers. Selling you code, lol -- code is more of a liability really :)

Is "Cloud -> Edge", important enough to warrant mentioning on such a chart? Edge makes sense in a few cases. But many services will be fine running in a single cloud region. Do anyone really see a mass migration here?

Ukraine don't win that way, and they don't get support from Europe that way. If Russian lives were valued, they wouldn't have started the conflict, much less continued it they way they do. So no, for Ukraine I don't see

Personally, I'm happy with my 700k USD home, I'd probably be working anyways, since to me it's preferable to work full time and enjoy modern amenities.

Houses less 400k DKK ~ 60k USD, granted houses at price range are small, worn down, far from cities and job market in area a bit challenged - but not impossible. https://www.boligsiden.dk/tilsalg/villa?sortBy=timeOnMark

You absolutely don't need to work 37 hours per week if you are willing to live 200km from the big cities in an old house. You buy something dirt cheap for less than 80k USD. It's not great, it's old run down. But if you do mi

I feel we've known this was coming years.. and it won't effect until 2040 -- this gives me confidence in the system. It's not an unfunded mandate running on deficit spending. So probably it won't be wiped away by a globa

Denmark has both private and public pension schemes. Well, I guess you're not required to have a private pension scheme. But most jobs come with one, most unions enforce it. I had one when I was sweeping the factory floor once a week a

> keep people younger for longer. Is a lot easier than "rejuvenation", and a lot more attainable. And also something we do throw R&D money at.

Yeah, you can also make the argument many saas things are just postgres with some templates :)

Is it the generation that cost, or the promise that you'll always have power? Keeping capacity ready is probably the expensive bit.

Forking it and setting up the CI for all tests, monitoring performance regression, etc -- no thanks. Having worked on Firefox CI infrastructure years ago, it's a huge and complex setup. As I recall back then it was >100 compute hour

The US and Europe is tightly integrated, this integration can be used as leveraged. Especially, since we've allowed the US to play the bigger brother in most of these relationships. But you can only use this in a big way once. And all

Why? US is not the main threat. And even this case it's pretty obvious that they are under attack. If you run your own server, you might not know that you've been compromised.

I don't understand checks, but isn't it just paper that allows transfer of money to the person the check is addressed? If so, what does it matter that someone else cashed it? Such transaction is unauthorized, it's a matter be

I don't Firefox is moving to Github Actions anytime soon. I was pretty involved with the TaskCluster setup years ago, and it still seems to be running a bunch of CI things. mozilla-central has a LOT of tests -- each push burns a lot of

I just read the AGPL and the FAQs and it's not entirely clear to me either. Probably why many companies find AGPL toxic.

by jopsen 1y ago
Sure, if you're connecting to a service using AGPL, the service operator must offer the source along with a copy of the license. I'm no lawyer, but unless the software in question makes an exception for the particular API, I would

A lot of the complexity stems from backwards compatibility. Also I seriously doubt there is any conspiracy here! (opinions are my own)

In Denmark imports have to pay vat (25%), regardless of tariffs (goods made in Denmark also charge vat). But the processing fee for customs is usually 20-40 USD. Which can exceed the cost of the package in the first place. So when possible
