Only if they are not told how to search the codebase efficiently. All you need is an MCP server for code search. There's even LSP backed MCP servers now.

The problem with Hetzner's firewall service is it nukes network performance especially on ipv6.

I don't really buy it. I live in the area, and what happened is that traffic increased dramatically everywhere but Barnes, which is where Hammersmith bridge is. People in Barnes generally love it, as you can read in the author's t

It really doesn't take that much effort. Like any tool, people can over-optimise on the setup rather than just use it.

OpenWRT supports PBR which makes this a breeze.

I've done similar. But I just used PBR (policy based routing) on my OpenWRT router. Took about 15 minutes to set it up. You can pick which domains go through VPN. Works great.

I know it may seem like the hardest thing ever - but you are doing the right thing. Come out, end the sham, start to heal. Otherwise you are in for a life of pain. I'm not gay but I'm divorced and whatever the reason for the divor

I’m just not seeing the market for this. Why not build a better steam deck dock instead?

I guess people missed my sarcasm here. See the username efforts of tech companies like Discord, etc.

What is more likely to happen is a global namespace of unique names. Famous and powerful people get to pick first, because they are more important. Names can be inherited and become signs of your class and wealth. You get to be Bob192382, b

I used it when Dropbox came out to get the max 16GB storage. Only cost me a few bucks too.

Does it support all anti cheat and DRM? Does PCVR work well? What about old Windows rhythm games (with emulators like spice2x)? Until it has 100% coverage I’m not gonna drop Windows.

Yup! Exact reason I saw companies migrate to AWS. Basically incompetent sysadmins who could barely manage a toaster let alone a server rack. I have this memory of one "sysadmin" who was tasked with expanding the server farm, askin

It was the best way to find niche websites at its heyday. Performed better than Google for general website search too. Then yahoo nuked it. Now everything is centralised on eg Reddit.

You're absolutely right. As a teen, I could only really listen to what my small income could afford. And CDs were expensive! It definitely made you savour that one CD that you could afford every month, but I'm not sure that is the

Yup, we're headed to the robot assembly line, with a few experts making sure it all works correctly. Craftsmen will remain, but it will be niche (and probably not pay anything unless you are a true master).

Don’t forget about selling off of NHS hospitals. I don’t think many people realize how much of the NHS is privately owned. NHS pays the owners for use of the facilities. It’s insane.
