No, it's more like: whether you live in a rain-lashed tepid shithole, a sun-beaten desert shithole, or an ice-smothered frigid shithole. AC is barely even desirable here. It occasionally reaches a whopping 30. We don't have AC at

Nihil novum sub solem. Which means, nothing new since Sun was bought out.

Re your last point, there have been many deaths in war caused by overestimating the enemy's intelligence. Or misunderstanding their perspectives and red lines.

I don't understand the tech: could it be the case that an older machine is missing CA roots that causes it to reject legitimately-signed code? I had to disable SB to boot the installer for either F39 or Mint 22, i forget which, on an o

It is a mixed blessing, the ever-upward bass of complexity. Most people are probably glad that their computers have guis and they can install applications with just a few clicks. The price of those features is complexity. Ultimately, we&#x2

Very nicely put. If you have an innovation fixation and only give a shit about unicorns, you aren't going to even perceive the cooperatives and mutuals that have survived six monarchs. Especially if they are mostly outside your country

You can avoid profit indefinitely - just ask uber. That's if we're sticking to the customary definition of "profit". So that you know, the practice in question is to open a line of credit on the value of your stock. This

All tax regimes, including zero tax, are social engineering.

That's reasonable. Could also decimate the adtech industry and cut them down to just serving ads based on keyword searches and location, like they did 20 years ago

I do love that track, but although it takes the form of jungle it is utterly unlike jungle. Squarepusher is refined. Jungle is amateur. It needs to have the feel of "this is what we cafe because it's what we could make" where

If you just want to rail against the string-em-up brigade, happy to partner with you. But what you've actually done is malign my countrymen quite unfairly. Only we get to do that. I agree that there's such a thing as "nationa

Nonsense. Speed limits are policed with discretion; you're vanishingly unlikely to get done for going a few over. I've driven past a copper at 78 (oops) When I was young and dumb, i crashed into someone while driving recklessly. C

It says on the first line that it's powered by webkit. You're technically correct, it's an independent browser, but I find that moot if it's just a repackaging of a big tech render engine.

They're are at least two different lenses looking at "the internet" ITT. I don't see how Mozilla could have shifted the needle on the rise of big web properties. In fact, I want a browser to be completely agnostic, so if

Icymi, luke_galea mentioned graphviz in ruby Next challenge: generate fsm from mermaid flow chart!

I will invest that time later. In anticipation, thanks. I came here to see if anyone was talking about state machines that generate their own flowcharts, or codegen from flowcharts. I'd like to know if there's prior art. It would

You miss the point that being in the frame for an extended period is, surely, incredibly stressful. How long does it take to get to trial? Do you think you could have that on your plate for months and suffer no negatives? Do you prefer to f

Agree. The negative outcomes start long before you get a day in court. Anyone who's had police at their door that they didn't summon knows this.

Good question. It's about unknown unknowns, right? But we could map out where those may be. I guess chemical toxicity, drugs with long half-lives that affect soil organisms, and antibiotics that promote resistance. (yeah yeah they are

Meritocracy is great and all, but there's a gap between having merit and others seeing the merit. I don't believe that human society can, practically, get particularly close to the ideal. I question the choice of fatty meat as a s

It's more than self-hostable! There's at least one API-compatible alternative (vaultwarden) which works with the official client. Yay to breaking down walls.
