Sounds like three or four to me.

There is no joke here.

I suspect you know the answer, though: people erroneously believe SQLite isn't up to the task—and then combine that with ego, my project needs a real database.

Is this just content and concept graciously lifted from r/keming?

I was speaking more philosophically—I don’t believe our legal systems, much like their failure to stop Trump’s reelection in 2024, are designed or capable of meaningfully altering the trajectory of something like AI.

> We need to wait for the legal system to decide.

I think it has.

Hm. I spend most of my time in iTerm. MacOS is Unixy and cozy. WSL definitely is clumsy - actually, everything to do with containers in Windows is a pain in the ass to deal with. Run Windows in kvm, not the other way around.

Have you tried Rectangle? It's not automatic, but I find it a reasonable compromise. Last I tried, Yabai et. al. were all pretty flaky compared to proper x11 twms.

It's really bad, though. Like ... objectively abysmal. No other popular platform is more dev-hostile. I think most folks are there because they lack choice or experience with alternatives.

> But, if I was forced to go back to these times I know my warm feelings would eventually turn to horror.

If you could keep your shit under control you'd be so ridiculously OP - I'm not convinced it would actually be that bad :)

> Depending on your line of work, a majority of your coworkers might be over 130.

This seems pretty reasonable, but once you start to get to know people a bit...

This site is hilariously fucked on mobile https://jfrog.com/artifactory

Yes, that's the point.

If it's so poor, it should be pretty easy to explain why.

Leave some matches for the rest of us, Lewis. :<

> I need both.

Definitely. We all do.

Physical activity is integral to optimal cognitive function and mental performance. Sedentary lifestyles impair our intellectual capabilities regardless of natural talent or education. Research shows regular exercise enhances memory, focus, creativity, and stress management - all crucial for professional success. Healthcare workers actually demonstrate this mind-body connection well: their physically demanding jobs support rather than detract from the complex mental work they perform.

They aren't my preference either, but I wonder if you might be taking them a bit too literally. They aren't necessarily intended as a direct representation of anything, they are just there to decorate the text and express a bit of silly fun in a way that may or may not be immediately relevant.

Hypothetically, if I had to violate someone's personal privacy like this, I think I'd be leaning toward doing it for someone I don't like. And even then, I would never.

I agree with most of this, but I'd argue that the "products that meet demands will [win]" part is specious: marketing / sales often target a business demographic of people who consider themselves technical but aren't.

I wouldn't use either of them.

You only have to spend a few minutes poking around any of these corporations' custom Linux distros to see they are almost universally fucking awful. Consider, Synology ship many of their NAS type devices with BTRFS as the default/only option, as if that were a perfectly reasonable thing to do. And QNAP's engineers might be dangerously overconfident in their understanding of ZFS, implementing basic features in ways that seem more cargo-cult driven than informed by actual ZFS mechanics—and as if that isn't enough, recklessly extending it at a low level while continuing to call it ZFS because who wouldn't want to ride those coattails?

I suppose this is probably obvious, but I believe meaningful quality and capitalism are fundamentally incompatible—especially security, as in the real (i.e. non-theatre) version, because it tends to be obnoxious when done correctly, and the moment the marketing department gets to veto boring nerd shit, well, good luck. Just look at the so-called enterprise network security vendors like Fortinet and SonicWall, it's honestly mind-blowing what they get away with.

Yes. As someone who is used to putting far too much thought into grocery shopping, it is virtually impossible to advance this change on an individual level. The company making the sustainable toothbrushes is owned by turtle hating petroleum companies or worse. I probably just seem cynical or shitty, but I would be hesitant to potentially induce guilt in individuals who feel they aren't doing enough when there are no better options (within reach, anyway).

Nobody is individually dictating plastic use, and no truly high-level system exists to prescribe it: this is all largely emergent. I think we should try, and I think we need to hold ourselves and each other accountable, but ... what if this is just how it goes?

Eh. I agree that there are a lot of shitty LEDs out there, but any of the Philips bulbs that say "EyeComfort" are actually pretty decent. I have replaced tons of incandescent bulbs with them and it has pretty much always been a noticeable upgrade. No weird shadows, no flickering (I'm super sensitive to this, unfortunately), and their CRI numbers seem legit.

I won't say it isn't possible that someone might struggle with this—it's quite subjective, obviously—but I do think it's unlikely that anyone with a general understanding of both volume and surface area would struggle here.

Even just comparing two consecutive iterations, I feel confident that any child who has learned the basic concepts would be able to reliably tell you which has more enclosed volume or surface area.

I will happily concede that the part you quoted could be quite unintuitive without the context of the article or the animation included in it. :)

> But most important, the fractal possesses various counterintuitive mathematical properties. Continue to pluck out ever smaller pieces, and what started off as a cube becomes something else entirely. After infinitely many iterations, the shape’s volume dwindles to zero, while its surface area grows infinitely large.

I'm struggling to understand what is counterintuitive here. Am I missing something?

Also, it's still (always) going to be in the shape of a cube. And if we are going to argue otherwise, we can do that without invoking infinity—technically it's not a cube after even a single iteration.

This feels incredibly sloppy to me.

Agreed, rip the band-aid off folks. You will be so glad you did.

Both in and out of education, "it's" always means "it is" or "it has".

No, this is ridiculous - all modern operating systems use 'unused' RAM for disk cache.

Trolling on HN might be one of the stupidest things I've witnessed in a while.
