I noticed they mentioned “logs” of you talking about hosting CP, can you elaborate? They took a bunch of IRC logs where I stated what I can and can’t host at a web hosting provider I owned. The logs do exist but are taken out of context.

"There have been doctored fossils from this part of the world before" - so, he obviously means "from China". This kind of etiquette is weird. (And of course I pretty immediately felt the voting feedback on why. So much p

I went down that rabbit hole a few years ago. Many cards don't tolerate sudden power loss while writes are happening. The solution I found was these ATP micro SD cards (looks like the prices have increased like 3x though...) where the

Did you you ever attempt programming anything under PalmOs back then? It was quite fragile because of the extremely low amount of memory on board, which forced the use of relocatable memory handles, a bit like classic mac OS. https:/&

Sure, if you support genocide I suppose that could seem to be an appealing investment strategy. In my experience the Chinese hardware is noisy and inefficient. It may make sense for keeping a garage above frost levels, in case it lasts, but

Within EU markets heating is still the main thing in terms of the amount of energy consumed, but the same air-to-air heat exchanger hardware also does cooling during the summer. I'd suggest you invest in e.g. Mitsubishi Electric and

Large tech companies hire relatively fewer engineers, while raising armies of temps and contractors to test software, label web pages and do low-level programming. Ehh... no, not really, no.

I've ultimately become disappointed with For All Mankind . It has its moments of greatness but literally two thirds of it is anti-exploratory, anti-science angst bullshit. I guess it's a a lot cheaper to film that stuff.

Is it abandoned? Last commit was Mar 31, 2022 and there are 24 open PRs - most without any discussion happening.

Being an early adopter sucks. In the early 16th century, Spanish explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa crossed the Isthmus of Panama in 1513 and sighted the great "Southern Sea" which he named Mar del Sur (in Spanish). Afterwards, the o

Anything that moves talented production staff away from the lazy super hero movies is good in my book. Maybe they'll have to focus on the writing again, gasp .

I'm sure it was cute the first couple of times... Some animals have this way of doing things over and over for a very long time, for many days. It's not cute at day 155.

> they cite that "profile photos can get flagged for: (...) Not being an image of you or an actual photograph". That actually seems fair to me, considering what LinkedIn is.

Yeah, but like J2EE, Kubernetes will become synonymous with waste [in the public sector] in about 5-10 years from now. I mean, you've got to admit, it's a repeat of history?

It's about the modern day J2EE - Kubernetes. Approximately the same cost per "getting something done" ratio. Exactly the same kind of orgs (both on the seller and buyer sides). I hear the money is good though, if you're

India's GDP in 2022 was 3.4T USD. They did beat the UK (at 3.1T USD) - but of course with a much larger population. ( https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.CD?location... ) (And since someone mentioned
