It's not about the harm you do, it's about the billions you have. But you seem to have a moral compass, you wouldn't understand ;-)

China is allied to North Korea, which South Korea is at war with.

A lot of so-called environnemental awareness campaigns are the work of trade organizations or multinationals. Often they shift the blame onto the consumer, so for example it's "you need to recycle" instead of "we need to

That's actually pretty hardcore. Also keep in mind South Korea is dependent on the US for military protection.

At least for me when woodworking, the cutting, nailing, and gluing are the fun bits. The sanding and finishing is the grunt work/boilerplate.

Interesting that you say the 'o' to explicitly indicate the 24h format. In France we just say "let's meet tomorrow at 8 hours" for example, to which the person has to ask something like "Wait, do you mean at 8

This is true as well, and in fact not uncommon for a dictatorship to have decent support as long as the economy is good. See: China (although unlike Brazil I have no direct experience there). It's also a well worn play book at this poi

A big difference between Brazil and the USA is that until 1985, Brazil was a dictatorship. The kind that "disappears" and tortures journalists and political opponents. So lots of people still alive today remember those days and un

Works for me in France using the 1.1.1.1 DNS server, which I use on all my devices.

Exactly. Well not exactly. The desalinization plant produces brine (very salty water) as a waste product. Rather than disposing of it directly, they use the brine to generate electricity. This electricity is then used partly to run the desa

That's exactly the reason why so many people prefer giving up their data, their privacy, their freedom. Personally I'm happy to pay proton a few bucks a month to not have to give up those things. I'm not criticizing those tha

Ruff pretty much follows the same rules as black, and can be made identical with some options tweaking. So when I moved several projects from black to ruff, there were no changes made to the code.

Did you change to another engine? If so, which one? If not, what prevented you from doing so? Genuinely curious.

Funny, I don't like Ruby because it has easy access to metaprogramming. It's powerful, yes, but in my experience it's a powerful footgun that makes the code very difficult to understand and debug 6 months down the line. And i

I feel like the main takeaway here is that if you want your personal project to last, you should run it on your own server.

The speed of Ruby with the memory management of Java, what's not to love? Also, now you have two problems.

Great news, good on them. Not only does this make their lives better and safer, but it can help many other cities. Sometimes just knowing that something is possible is enough for people to achieve it.

Yes that's probably the point. Cars kill many more people than scooters.

Exactly. There is pressure to sell to as many people as possible, as cheaply as possible. This leads to "simplifying" the UI. Generally this means power users now have to click 3 times instead of 1. Of course there are alternative

> The dashboard becomes a battlefield and every team wants a modal for their feature release. Dark patterns come hand-in-hand. To me, this is exactly what the OP is going on against. If it's not cohesive, it's bad design.

I could get behind this and contribute if it didn't use a US corporate distro as a base. Ideally it should be something like Nix: non-profit foundation headquartered in the Netherlands. SUSE could work too.

From what I remember full self driving cars were a couple years off in 2010. It took 10-15 years to get self driving cars in a specific country under specific weather conditions. A country that is perhaps the most car-friendly on the planet

Investing in the military seems like a necessity given what's going on. One madman to the east was bad enough, now there's another to the west. The Ukrainians have done some pretty incredible stuff with very basic tools and lots o

If building airplanes isn't technology, I don't know what is. BTW, Boeing is in the USA's top 10 exporters, it's not a minor thing. But yeah the USA has a definite edge in software, if that's what you mean by "
