I fell in love with the OP1 when I first saw it many many years ago. A few years back I took some of my bonus and finally got one, despite the price being a little higher than launch (I want to say maybe $1500?). It’s an amazing little piec

And before that, Kissinger was hand-editing military plans for strikes in Vietnam - bolstered only by an overinflated ego - that definitely pretty much just got farmers killed. So the PowerPoints were an improvement I guess lol

It always blows me away how, historically, actual two-state progress has been intentionally hindered. There was a point way back when at least some meaningful work towards peace was at hand, but when Kissinger got wind of it and he wasn’t t

Yeah you may not want that - Musk’s plan to get to mars involves, not necessarily _intentionally_ but with no attempt to avoid, ruining the earth for everyone else. He and his billionaire friends that want to colonize space have said they i

This is maybe the most interesting part of LLMs for me - finding ways to exploit them, and then figuring out how to protect against those attacks. Is there any step in the chain where a repo maintainer in this case could see the full text o

Roads being a huge factor also plays into socioeconomic factors though, at least in some places. Take New York City for example, where the off-ramps for highways were purposefully planned to let traffic out in larger numbers in impoverished

I think the “must” is probably a bit much, however we could have something similar to Energy Star but call it something like “Child Star” (I mean, POTUS would back it). If you want to be Child Star certified, you need to provide access cont

And for me, the most SSH’ing I do these days is into my docker containers and odds are I won’t be opening vim while I’m there. I do like the repo idea, but I wonder if there’s an easier and maybe faster way to do it over the SSH tunnel

I actually don’t mind them, and I’ve been out of daily PHP work for a few years now. When I see people denote internal variables with _ or elements with $ in JS, it rubs me the wrong way, but in PHP the $ is kind of nice. I also prefer the

No one says adults are immune to it, we also have less neuroplasticity - I can imagine that if I’d had more screen time growing up, while my brain was developing, it would have had more of an impact on me. That’s not to say it’s all bad, I

I was always fascinated by plan 9 ever since finding out about it and only ever having heard of the movie referenced in Seinfeld. Way back then I didn’t think it would keep seeing use and development, I’m glad I’m wrong :)

Not trying to necessarily argue or strawman, just want to point out that the only time I’m aware of (though likely not the only time in general) this happening is police unions. The first one started in the Pacific Northwest, and used their

These all sound wild and like their impeding on all kinds of freedoms - you’re saying that a business should be compelled to serve or work with anyone that offers to pay them which is _wild_. The issue comes down to when you refuse to work
