I don't like this solution because it is hostile to those who use solutions such as UMatrix / NoScript in their browser, who use TUI browsers (e.g. chawan, lynx, w3m, ...) or who have disabled Javascript outright.

Admittedly, this is no different than the kinds of ways Anubis is hostile to those same users, truly a tragedy of the commons.

I find the audio-visual experience (tilted elements, slightly blurry or shaky, semi-kinetic and burpy cronchy weird noises) of this website jarring as the act of over-consumption itself. Nicely done.

A perfect metaphor.

Edge is just a Chromium fork, though.

and that's a matter of messaging and education!

financial and corporate transparency and privacy are a very different matter to the transparency and privacy of an individual.

despite the whackadoodle precedent that corporations are people, corporations are not people. they may be made of people, but the affairs of those people are within the course of their employment, acting on behalf of the corporation.

it also depends upon the mask type who you're protecting? IIR surgical masks tend to only protect other people, whereas you can protect yourself with FFP2/FFP3/N95/P99/...

but deciphering that is part of the problem, the layman had to come to terms with the difference between IIR masks and the other more protective to self standards.

the messaging was unclear but it required the avg person to do their own research.

imo, the real problem was the culture war?

i don't think there's any problem with someone making it clear that they're sick; society needs to be more accepting of the sick and more accepting of call-outs of work due to illness. this would help everybody in the long run.

hi, your website has spelling issues and also the contact text doesn't match up with the links?

"knight Movemetns and Casstle?"

kubernetes is very complex and therefore any abstraction which completely glosses over the way the underlying systems work would make it very hard to avoid leaking or a bad abstraction to begin with.

the complexity in one way or another must be preserved within the abstraction (in all likelihood) or you will have cases you cannot create in that layer or breakages which now have the total complexity of both the abstraction itself AND kubernetes itself required to fix.

i would not say IaC is going to provide you a magic solution to learning k8s, although the value in using IaC (e.g. Argo CD / Flux CD + Kustomize + ...) in K8s land is that you are no longer imperatively managing your cluster resources and therefore can keep them within a repository, managed like code. the point of the solution is not to make it easier for newcomers, but to make it easier to have teams manage and work together on an established cluster for deployments, ...

in the case of Pulumi, you leverage the single language with typechecking instead of relying upon K8s flavoured YAML, which is itself beneficial in many ways (since you can use your regular developer tooling)

wrt pkl, pretending K8s manifest structure underneath does not help because you will need to know how the keys within a manifest interact with the underlying system regardless, especially to understand functionality, e.g. node selectors, taints and tolerations, node affinity, ...

i prior managed a terraform-based deployment of several k8s clusters and it still required knowledge of those keys and values, alongside knowledge of the underlying resource types.

without those you can't implement things like GPU-based node selection for jobs which require a GPU, ...

DO's K8S is more equivalent to AWS's EKS offering, so of course ECS which abstracts away pretty much all of the other parts of K8s is going to require less maintenance. It's sort of a false equivalence to say ECS == that solution.

On EKS, you need to do the same version updates with the same amount of terror.

You do pay the extra for the further management to just run containers somewhere!

(you might want to say "every" instead of over, "is" instead of "ist")

doesn't seem to work at all on firefox, but works fine on a chromium-derivative.

a warning would've been nice about a lack of support? ^^

Typo of "codebase" as codebae: This is also the reason why the higher context window doesn’t matter. Even if you could feed your whole codebase into an LLM, you’d still face the same problem of missing the structural relationships of the codebae.

Looking into this, I see it is some kind of crackpot / con-man "free energy" scam?

I assume you are related to, an investor in or some kind of shill for this organization, because many of your submissions are related to the organization you are speaking about. This could be untrue, but I would not trust any "theory" that you posit at ground value without peer review and all of this is never going to make it into the scientific mainstream.

If your theory depends upon denial of quantum physics and things which have experimental proof, it has no rigor. Especially if the organization in question feels the need to take wikipedia editors to court in order to silence them. Shame on this organization.

>After testing over the summer the super sewer will be handed over to Thames Water, a water company about £15bn in debt and dogged by constant rumours of financial problems. So why should they be trusted to run the super sewer?

>"We have had our challenges. It's absolutely fair to say that." Tessa Fayers, Thames Water's operations director for Thames Valley and Home Counties, told BBC News.

> "But I think one of the things if you go back in our heritage back to the 1800s Thames Water is phenomenal at delivering infrastructure solutions that provide fantastic sanitation services to the city of London."

Throughout their history, their predecessors were not private companies, but from '74 until 89, they were at least a regional water authority. This is a hilarious thing for someone to have said, especially within the corporation.

To go further, from Wikipedia:

> The company has been criticised for paying substantial dividends to shareholders while simultaneously taking out loans, accumulating £14 billion in debts. In June 2023, Thames Water was reported to be close to financial collapse; while it secured £750m from shareholders in July 2023, the company warned it would need a further £2.5bn from investors by 2030.

It's almost like most of their problems are as a result of that privatization, even... wow.

i think it doesn't matter what is therapeutic and what is recreational. i think that's also not something the state can really decide, either? nor should it make this decision every time someone puts something into their body.

that we should just give people the capacity to do what they are going to do either way, safely properly and teach them how to reduce their self-harm and societal harm with what they are doing!

neurotoxicity can be a thing (excitatory neurotoxicity too! is also dose dependent.), but that regards research of the substance and so on. these are measurable things.

with drug use, harm reduction in the modern era is essential. pushing it away from the legal sphere means that people will not manage to reduce their harm as much.

all of this authoritarian shit doesn't stop people from doing things, it just stops them from doing it safely and getting help without being arrested.

diet sodas have aspartame which contains phenylalanine which can increase dopamine levels in the brain.

in this argument, tea, alcohol, diet soda, everything like that gets illegalized.

there's nothing wrong with intoxication, just being irresponsible with it and not reducing the harm you cause or suffer yourself through intoxication.

furthermore, amphetamine does the opposite of "lost productivity". so we should make that OTC by this merit? :p

everything meaningful is going to contain chemicals including those of a psychoactive nature or a nature that changes biochemistry, nothing will stop being chemicals.

that just sounds like relief from depression, though?

people would even say the world feels or seems grey when they're depressed.

so that you can stop the activity during work / life hours and let it run while you're asleep, perhaps? so if your internet isn't great you don't lose all of your capacity to use the internet

The absurdity here that you can't do it because your BIOS won't let you, hdparm can do this! You can literally just boot a Live USB!

And anyone who thought TRIM would be a reliable way to get rid of data to begin with didn't have an understanding of TRIM!

other developers who what?

Disturbingly dog-whistley with:

> And their recent communist path ensures against any socialist/woke revolution for at least the next 20 years.

Comparing the current political climate in Estonia when they actively have a Soviet past is a ridiculous statement; there's no valid comparison

why would anyone want intuit to have money they don't deserve to begin with?

oh no! think of the companies.

lol.

wezterm, because it seems to have all the functions I want (ligatures, RGBA OSC, proper OSC support for base16) and is written in Rust, has sane configuration and nice platform support

I think a key difference here is building your cities to be more walkable; if there are humidity and heat problems: plant more trees for shade, provide more cover in general for people

I can't imagine that the current way of building cities with massive multi-lane stretches is going to be good for reducing experienced suffering to those who walk (it's just not a priority...)

Of course, any of that requires that you actually prioritise these features as opposed to extending highways/motorways with ever more lanes causing more and more induced demand, which... American cities don't seem to, generally...?

The usual shilling of "Not Just Bikes" should go here, where he talks in depth about what's wrong with American car-dependent cities and how they build...

Surely, overall, it reaches carbon neutrality (the CO2 you put in is the CO2 you get back out) when burnt. Of course it "emits", but that has already been first taken out by being turned into this jet fuel.

I'm never sure why people speak so positively of IHP. It's like, yes, I'm a fan of Nix and Haskell, but IHP is effectively paid (at $25/mo! that's not even a paltry sum) for any of the more worthwhile features regarding account management. I have no clue why I'd want to buy into an ecosystem where such features are sequestered away from me by default.

This seems like a quite disingenuous set of statements.

By using the ecosystem, whether through purchasing ETH, NFTs, so on, you're investing into the ecosystem.

You're inflating the amount of transactions that occur, you're appearing as a user of the ecosystem.

It's not so much constant investment so as much as by using it, you're participating in the scam, you're the guy holding the bag at the end or effectively keeping prices inflated for worthless tokens by purchasing them at the amount they're "said" to be worth.
