In the ridiculous clockwork that is "modern" software deployment, sure. But what if you're just trying to stand up a rails app on a boring linux droplet?

It is even weirder to me how business has latched on to the term "APIs" like some kind of rabid dog biting into your ass Like, this is a fundamental aspect of how I interact with my job and business has taken the term and elevated

Is this true for the obnoxiously expensive ($10k+ in many cases) liquor cabinets they keep?

This archive is especially a treasure. The sound effects library here is very comprehensive for its time. Foley artists and musicians can save themselves a ton of money by using this library instead of yet another rent-seeking cloud service

llama.cpp needs the files to be in ggml format, there is a command string you can run to convert one from the other (as well as perform quantization). Or just download the GGML version https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaM

No, I used the word 'heteronormative', which has a specific, clinical meaning.

No, it's not. You are reading into things. There is no elevating one modality above the other, they are related but different. Why are you projecting your own biases into my statement? Call a spade a spade. What you take away beyond th

"East of Los Angeles" ??? Scientific American done did San Diego dirty there. The Salton Sea is SD's beautiful mess.

> I think your starting point is still kinda skewed, because "heteronormative" is a made-up thing by society rather than an actual thing someone can be. It's a term rooted in the conditions that make sex a reproductive act

It's not equivocation, it's a categorization of heteronormative and not-heteronormative. Personally I suspect the issue here is that incest is the only form of sexual activity that we have a natural proclivity against, probably be

Computers have been high-contrast since the first GUIs dating all the way back to Xerox PARC ( https://crm.org/articles/xerox-parc-and-the-origins-of-gui ) Yet I have only ever heard of people complaining about it recent

I have never understood this. Black text on white backgrounds is fine at night, maybe you should stare at screens more or something? Or use something that adjusts brightness to ambient light, like most phones do now. I personally do not lik

Oh god no. None of these are good metrics. All are gameable. If my workplace enacted this then I would quit. And KPIs are the truncheon that managers use to smash others' heads in. There should be no metrics, for anyone, only RESULTS.

Agreed. The idea that words can bring curses or displease some fictional deity is a dated trope with no place in modern society. Which means the only reason left is that it displeases certain people to hear them... but fuck those folks for

Calling every curt response "dismissive" is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. The original comment personally resonated with me, and while the linked project is kinda neat I guess there is a growing contingent of us that s

"Selfish reasons" is how markets work. Economists call it "Rational Self-Interest"

This is semantics. If I present something and the response is "meh" then that is important information to me. Let people express themselves without policing it. Attitudes like yours create echo chambers of sycophants. I personally

Let people express their true feelings. We shouldn't be blowing smoke up each other's asses. Criticism is a fact of life and we can't culture our way out of it. There is "nice" and there is honest. And neither are k

What makes you think that the changes that are made in SaaS are always an improvement? Sometimes that models permanently destroys something without providing users a recourse for going back. See: Warcraft II, or World of Warcraft

Then there is the problem that the emulated games can't connect to their servers or verify their DRM so they run in demo mode. Every Extra Extend Extreme is one example, frustrating as I own this one.

I like the sandboxing model but virtual machines add way too much abstraction and overhead. Apple's approach is really good here IMO, as a user I need to be able to do things like select any file at any time, and it will under-the-hood

You have such an idyllic view of the college environment. My experience was struggling to motivate my teammates to do anything beyond the minimum, and an endless barrage of "will this be on the exam?" questions during class. Loo
