It's not just giving a shit: it's also the capacity to act on giving a shit. I'm exhausted at the end of the day after getting the kids to bed, and I'm fortunate to be in a stable marriage, live in a large home that my w

Getting those booleans to the right place at the right time reliably isn't trivial.

That's actually a very logical stance: China is much less interested in what you're doing as an individual citizen—and much less able to act on what they know—than the United States is. For the same reason, Chinese citizens should

Given the attack vector, it's possible that the impacted repos were ones that see more activity.

It is possible to get real work done with LLMs. There are plenty of ethical concerns, and they're definitely over-hyped, but they are exceptionally useful tools when used well.

I'm guessing it would be tough to make the numbers work demolishing a 4-story building and building one that's only 2-2.5x the square footage, especially with today's interest rates.

I'd assume they have a botnet to parallelize it. Though depending on where you live (not that they'd be using their own machines) fast pipes are fairly common—I have a 5gbps symmetrical fiber connection to my home in Michigan.

Finding a vulnerability by looking at the diff that fixed it is very different than just looking through the code.

You'd risk amplifying every fluctuation. It's often impossible to know what's a shift vs. what's noise until it's well under way (if not over).

One of my vehicles is a 2009 Civic. It continues to amaze me that with minimal maintenance, that 17-year-old vehicle will fire right up with the turn of a key, with hundreds (thousands?) of parts moving in a specific way, many of them with

The battery in my PHEV (Chrysler Pacifica) showed no appreciable degradation in eight years (and >100k miles) before being replaced under recall for a manufacturing fault last year.

Agreed. I have a work MBP 14" and a Framework 13, and I didn't realize until just now that they weren't the same screen size. The Framework 13 is very comfortable to use.

Windows 95 was still based on DOS, and didn't offer a lot in the way of isolation or other security features. Win98 and ME were similar. It wasn't until all Windows versions used the NT kernel (XP being the first consumer-focused

Home computers weren't normally networked, but enterprise computers (such as the Walmart example given) absolutely were.

The Framework Desktop has a Ryzen 395 chip that is able to allocate memory to either the CPU or GPU. I've been able to allocate 100+gb to the GPU, so even big models can run there. Most recently I used it to develop a script to help me

I've found qwen3 to be very usable on my local machine (a Framework Desktop with 128gb RAM). I doubt it could handle the complex tasks I throw at Claude Opus at work, but it's more than capable of doing a surprising number of task

Mainly all the tasks that I otherwise feel I have to track myself. I've found that my head feeling clearer is an indication that I trust a tool to not lose context.

Have you checked USB peripherals? I could see a keyboard or mouse causing a wake-up.

It affects my non-cheapo keyboard (Ultimate Hacking Keyboard) as well. Though thankfully I don't have the termination sequence issue.

I have a series of skills and scripts that I manually invoke using Pi. It checks my calendar, Slack, email, etc. and keeps pretty good track of my day, to the point that I trust it enough to get a lot of noise out of my head.

It's especially gratifying (in my experience) to sing in a choir. I've been in the same chamber vocal group[1] for almost 20 years, and it has enriched my life in so many ways. I count the other members of the group as some of my

Of course. You're always capped by rate. But you're not capped by the cumulative amount (other than as a function of rate and time).

A couple of other options: If their router supports it, configure the VPN there so it's available for the entire network. Set up a Raspberry Pi (or similar) on their network that is configured with the VPN and runs a reverse proxy to e

I've never heard of this convention. Every getopt-style CLI tool I've used has identical behavior whether an option is specified in its short- or long-form.

It's definitely mostly a hobby, but I also want to get something close to the dependability of a cloud offering. I started small, with just a Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant, then Proxmox on an old laptop... growing to what I have

Other than the firewall (itself a minipc), I only have one server where a failure would cause issues: it's connected to the HDDs I use for high-capacity storage, and has a GPU that Jellyfin uses for transcoding. That would only cause J

Keeping services running is fairly trivial. Getting to parity with the operationalization you get from a cloud platform takes more ongoing work. I have a homelab that supports a number of services for my family. I have offsite backups (rsyn

Canada also (at least some provinces). I have quite a few Canadian software engineer colleagues with their iron rings to prove it.

We've become really close friends with a couple of families on our block. It definitely helps that we all have kids the same age, but a big reason for this is that our kids entertain each other, freeing the adults (most of the time) to
