Isn't that an acknowledgement that the UX is essentially worse than a PC? On a PC, are you inclined to show your mom how the terminal works or to install Xcode? You don't because these components are not forced onto you, or may no

Basically, people stopped posting as the algorithm started taking control of your feed. I discovered FB purity [1] recently, which does cut down on the algorithm's spam in your feed. But it turns out people have already moved on. £2&#x

It seems you're right. I vaguely remember using simcga on a friend's PC (where we also played PoP) but I can't recall for which game. Given that the PC version of PoP was launched in 1990 and CGA simulators existed since 1986

Everything works, until it doesn't. You always have the PR discussion to refer to, until you move to a different platform to cut costs. You can always ask the author of the code, until they have left the company.

When you run a relational database, you typically do it for the joins, aggregations, subqueries, etc. So a real-life scenario would include some application actually putting some stress on postgres. If your don't mind overprovisioning

It's a homelab. If it works, it works. And we already knew that it would work without reading TFA. No new insights whatsoever. So what's the point of sharing or discussing?

The use case is not representative of a real-life scenario, so the value of the presented results are minimal. A takeaway could be that you can dedicate a postgres instance for caching and have acceptable results. But who does that? Even fo

Of course you didn't see postgres crumble. This still a toy example of a benchmark. Nobody starts (and even more pays for) a postgres instance to use exclusively as a cache. It is guaranteed that even in the simplest of deployments som

In retrospect, I would say that the "blog rush" was kind of a precursor to the rise of influencers. There was even a crowd of "blogging gurus" that would ask a pretty peny for advice on how to advance your blog. The blog

You are just rationalizing a deeply undemocratic process. These are the exact self-serving arguments that the winners make to legitimize a fundamendally unpopular government. Also, in practice, no, you cannot make a political party in Greec

The problem is that as West we (collectively) have double morality standards. We call foreign governments regimes and their leaders brutal dictators (they might as well be, that's another discussion). But then we are also eager to extr

Voting should be on specific clauses, and if anything is rejected there should be a cooling period before it can be brought up for voting again. The cooling period does not preclude discussion of course. That's why we pay the MEPs: The

There should be sorts of an exponential backoff mandated for the contents of bills. Now, every lobby group keeps pushing their sketchy agenda, knowing well that they will eventually pass it. Worst case, it will be passed bit by bit.

For oil companies, smooth transition to renewables == lost profits. They'd rather see world go through an energy crisis which will make their profits skyrocket, before we eventually de-fossilize.

Your suggestions are far off from realpolitik. This is the recipe followed post-WW1, which brought us WW2. Europe itself is the proof that cooperation and good relationship among neighbours are the policies that bring peace and prosperity.

Realpolitik would be for Europe to understand that geography isn't going to change. Russia will always be your next-door neighbour. USA will always be an ocean away. Also, Putin is not immortal. So, your long game should be to forge am
