I have a fast laptop and solid desktop... But I frequently use vscode+ssh+tmux on the desktop when working from home. Then the powerful laptop just has to run chrome.. which to be fair, it barely does without crashing :)

Using "persuasion" in quotation marks is perhaps too nice. It's coercion, if not worse. Not that there is much we can do about it. Though limiting ability of Chinese authorities to operate outside china is fair. After all we

Yeah, collaboration around covid was perhaps a bit easier to force, because no country could do a vaccine on its own (including production, packaging, etc). But in this case Sweden and Norway probably could do electricity without supplies f

Also, if there really is s scarcity of electricity, then every country subsidizing it won't help. That said, to some extend it might just be more expensive LNG that dictates the price -- maybe there is sufficient electricity at a high

Democracies can endure a lot of hardship. Deciding to give in to Russia is not going to be popular. It's possible EU/NATO will collapse, it's not a while since we were tested like this. Well, maybe if we could endure covid lo

Cheaper renewables might be a risk... Well, even more wind might be.. because the price for electricity will be low for all wind farms when the wind is blowing. It seems like there might be a lot of debt here exposed to a risk that the pric

I doubt the defense industry is a good place for VC funded start-up. Growth is hopefully pretty limited. But I got to ask why? Sure, the world feels rocky at the moment, there's a war, energy prices a soaring, inflation, and we're

There was already Norway, Denmark and Poland fairly close by (close in terms of air travel). But yes, Sweden and Finland in NATO is nice. Also for the fact that NATO not intervening in aggression against Sweden or Finland is hard to imagine

It's also hard to negotiate when Russia said there'd be no invasion, like the day before they crossed the border. What credibility is left?

Wouldn't any Russian force driving around in the Baltic states be easy targets for NATO cruise missiles and air power? None of which NATO countries has offered to use in Ukraine. I think logistics by railway would be problematic if NAT

Yeah, S3 is not for tiny blobs.. What I have seen done before is concatenating many small blobs into a single large blob that is stored on S3. This works great for batch processing afterwards. If you need read access to the objects one opti

This is the other issue with using another cloud, S3 is extremely well documented. Some other cloud providers give no statement on reliability/availability/consistency. And worse some providers give statements that violates the CA

Yeah, that's also how I feel. Though, imagine being able to leave behind the responsibility for all the technical debt you've accrued -- must be nice :) On the other hand, I don't want to live like nothing matters. I want to

If shops actually stop selling birth control moderate Americans might be galvanized into voting :) I think that would affect a lot of people.. they might be shy to speak out, but if suddenly it's not available they might vote.

Yeah, on hindsight maybe he should have made his own 160bit CRC variant :) Honestly, I think it's fair to say that hashes isn't meant to be a security feature. But signed tags/commits/etc. probably need a better hash.
