So what do you suggest instead? I can see a few options - nobody being a parent - parents being bad parents so they can be good workers - any work dropped on the floor due to parents stays on the floor until they're back Options 1 and

That's really good point. Also, I don't think it's the only weird operator they introduce in the stdlib without any good reason.

Sadly no. My new Thinkpad has only one USB-C port and it's used for power. So I cannot use the USB-C port while charging. And it has three USB-As and a freaking HDMI.

I totally loved USB-C being the only port(s) on the device and thoroughly miss it on my Thinkpads.

Cool that they look like Pros now, i.e. not like you put Braun toothbrush heads in your ear. What I desperately need is a way to place an Airtag in the charger. Yes, I lost a pair of Airpod Pros some months ago. No idea where they are, perh

Better technology works like this: some people pioneer in it and most people are skeptical initially. Eventually, almost everyone transfer to using the better technology, and will wonder how they ever coped with the older technology. I know

I claim that technology that nobody uses is not better. Also see my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28902738

Yeah, I figure this shouldn't be too difficult to implement, but will be at least laborious to consistently keep up-to-date and stable.

Nomad could use an official or semi-official distribution. Something that you could throw into any VM with minimal configuration and it would create a new or join an existing nomad cluster. I've been thinking about building such a thin

The risk that comes from not using nuclear power is far greater and more likely. Fission is a temporary solution, but it has to be used to get to the next level -- just like we had to use every previous power source to get the next level.

I once did the opposite: I thought that technology details don't matter if the company is good in other ways. Did the mature thing, so to speak. I was wrong and the company was the worst professional experience of my ~20 year career. N

As usual, those who have learned Nix have completely forgotten what was difficult about it in the first place. And those who haven't are so confused that are unable to ask good questions.

That's easy to fix, at least technically: punish financially all the countries who don't sign this. Just requires willingness to do this.

Well, I just got a new Thinkpad. In it, Ryzen 59something. Granted, I never got to try M1s, but this is plenty faster than my the Macbook Pro "16 for anything, and I hardly ever hear the fan. Battery life is still something that Apple

But the least successful art is in every measure bad. I mean for example the movies that score 1.0-2.0 in imdb. But yeah, perhaps the comic book movies are not unlike Wordpress.

If what you're saying is true and those software are mediocre at best, this implies that software quality and success have no correlation. Or perhaps that software quality is not at all what the users of this site tend to think.

I believe ES allows taking snapshots (they call them projections, perhaps?) and removing all logs before the snapshot, which I think is kinda what dbs do?

What's the difference between Chinese patriots and American patriots? Chinese patriots think their government is the best. American patriots know that their government is the worst. The American patriots are clearly less delusional.

It's unfortunate that you're being downmodded for bringing forth the best argument for eating meat.
