> When people claim that they are just telling the truth and can't be blamed, it is likewise nonsense. We are always responsible for the words we speak and the actions we take. We're not let off the hook just because it's

It's absolutely delightful to see concepts come many full circles like this. I remember the Cray-2 cooling towers as the most futuristic computer in the world even in the 90s, and it inspired me to sink my old system in mineral oil in

I'll have to go and get the source and compare it to AAC. I'm really curious why that was left out of the comparison since it's the modern equivalent of MP3 (aka MP4 audio). It feels disingenuous.

Make your statement "This ain't got nothin' to do with that malarkey!" and move on, there's no need to throw a tantrum and take your ball and go home. It's like a conflict of interest statement, "yes"

Of course, but how do you solve that problem in the general case? When everything lives next to everything else it's harder to draw the line around the blast radius of a change. If there was a repo boundary, that's a really easy h

We actually do use bazel, where I have a love-hate relationship with that as well. It's incredibly painful and a lot of overhead to bazel allthethings. Using bazel to define dependencies is another double-edged sword where you can get

You get everything for free, but you also have to take EVERYTHING. I work primarily on "cloud" stuff, so 95% of my world is Terraform and other (asynchronous) configuration-based stuff. I feel the pain more acutely because of the

No single company has "the ability to exercise total control" on the internet, otherwise Kiwifarms / DailyStormer / 8chan would all be offline. This is not censorship, it's cause and effect or consequences or the f

ImageOptim is fantastic. You can use it via CLI, so I've added it to a few different archiving / publishing workflows in the past. One thing that some people don't realize is you can run it multiple times on the same (PNG) im

It's not that they can't scale, it's that you want them to HAVE to scale, to make it more expensive to attack your site than another one.

Looks like a decent implementation of HashCash - great! They should implement TOTP-based nonce generation to avoid the need for a database entirely, that would make the system much more lightweight to deploy. Some people miss the point of t

Sterilization is a big deal. Doctors make a big deal out of it because of history - forced or unwanted sterilization has been a problem in the past, especially for marginalized people. The difference between men and women's experiences

The author is charging more for access to the feature you want. You need to pay more to get that benefit, just like you need to pay more for early access or whatever other perks are offered.

> We believe that developers do not and should not care about things like VPCs, security groups, etc. I very strongly and fundamentally disagree with this sentiment. I know they don't, but they should! Developers should understand h

This project seems to wholesale ignore "terraform modules" in it's claims about reusability and modularity. Most of the problems it solves are already solved. The description and marketing are very mixed. It generates bespoke

How is this possibly true? The argument that 16-bit DCT somehow gives better precision AND doesn't change the size of the encode makes no sense. If you get better precision you need to keep those extra-precise bits that are no longer z

I'm a little confused about the cement example. Every inch of rainforest is preserved in year 0, so those factories can produce their ridiculous amounts of CO2 to compensate for the now-safe rainforest. That works IMO since the annual

That's not usually a problem. You can transfer a registration with N years remaining, the new company will charge a one year registration and you now have N+1 years covered. The only time it becomes a problem is if your new registrar d
