rapseyon US sanctions force The Netherlands off Microsoft and toward alternative NixOS

rapseyon US sanctions force The Netherlands off Microsoft and toward alternative NixOS

The EU is entirely subjugated to the US. No energy independence, militaries falling apart and out of date, no tech development or investment.

ICC judges getting the right wing activist treatment, except the activists get it from their own government.

rapseyon California is chasing wealth that has feet

No california has an NGO homeless industry, which gets paid on the amount of homelessness. They are incentivised on increasing homelessness, thus this is what they do.

rapseyon Tiny village votes for 'independence' from UK amid asylum seeker row

Nice straw man you have there.

rapseyon Tiny village votes for 'independence' from UK amid asylum seeker row

And the border communities loved having them there and invited them? Everything I said was factual. The voters of those northern communities love supporting policies as long as they happen someplace else. A thing called luxury beliefs.

They were of course removed from the community swiftly.

The ECHR is actually very loose with their definitions and gives the governments much freedom.

The UK chooses to interpret and enforce them as they do. Other european countries are within ECHR limits and deal with it entirely differently.

The UK elites no longer have the EU to blame for their policies, so they speak about ECHR. On the continent people barely know ECHR exists.

Because the UK wants them. They can stop the boats at any time. They can stop feeding and housing them at any time. They come because the UK government and NGOs provide them with a comfortable life.

Much like the residents of Martha's Vinyard, I am sure all have been very progressive, until it was time to have migrants in their back yards.

rapseyon All grown-ups were once children, but only few of them remember it

Yes I have read it. Kids are not retarded.

rapseyon All grown-ups were once children, but only few of them remember it

Kids do think about death. Hiding or avoiding the discussion does nothing. My kids absolutely adored Brothers Lionheart.

rapseyon All grown-ups were once children, but only few of them remember it

I don't know why you are down voted. Death was so much more present in kids lives back then. Death from diseases and injuries so common. Kids having dead siblings entirely normal.

rapseyon It's time for Mark Zuckerberg to resign from Meta

I don't think that is an answerable question. It is just an excuse for people justifying a hamfisted intervention into society that actually would do more harm than good.

There is a malaise in the west and Meta is just a symptom. More institutional power is a bad idea when institutions are dysfunctional.

rapseyon It's time for Mark Zuckerberg to resign from Meta

I think you are projecting your biases.

rapseyon It's time for Mark Zuckerberg to resign from Meta

Musk probably made more dollar millionaires than anyone in history. Facebook advertisers use it because it works and reaches a hell of a lot of people.

rapseyon Samsung's Processing-in-Memory (PIM)

OLED also has a deep history with a pretty famous opinions that it is impossible and a waste of time and money for companies to invest in the development. So does AI. From inception to product it is normal for decades to pass.

Compute needs change. AI needs are pretty unique in terms of scale and type of compute requirements to anything else so far.

rapseyon Australia Bans Generative A.I. From Official Music Charts

So completely unnecessary.

rapseyon Kubernetes on Oxide: How customer needs shaped our integrations

i.e. enthusiasts. The cheapest, most demanding, the loudest and least loyal customers.

rapseyon Flutter 3.47

Every time we tried it, it resulted in a worse experience than we knew could be done using native stacks. It is like using sand as a foundation for your house. Random version updates break random things. As soon as you need something a bit advanced on the platform, you are stuck with some barely supported library. Easy to start, hard to maintain and hard to ship a solid product.

rapseyon Melatonin impairs morning cognition in healthy young adults (2023)

Magnesium around every half hour around 100mg starting 2h before bed, the rest when I go to bed.

rapseyon Melatonin impairs morning cognition in healthy young adults (2023)

B6 40/50mg depending on the pill.

Magnesium 300mg or so.

Glycine I started with 3/5g, now I take like 30g

rapseyon Melatonin impairs morning cognition in healthy young adults (2023)

The body gets used to melatonin. It is actually a crap sleep supplement. It works worse every time you take it. What you should be doing is give the body the ingredients it needs to make its own melatonin like it is suppose to work.

rapseyon Melatonin impairs morning cognition in healthy young adults (2023)

Insomniac for 20 years. What was a complete solution for me was: magnesium, b6 p5p (p5p form very important) and the ultimate punch glycine.

Glycine takes some getting used to, as you will have crazy intense dreams at first. But it is a very safe supplement to take even in large doses.

I always had huge insomnia issues after a physically intensive days after workouts. The stack I settled on solved it. A heavy day just needs a bit more magnesium and quite a bit more glycine.

Probably pay the power company to put in the required infrastructure upgrades I guess.

rapseyon Chinese chipmaker shares surge 470%

rapseyon German Peasants' War

> Something else is going to happen this time, or really is happening already: people vote with their feet and stop having children.

And then the elite says, well lets import excess population from the third world. An idea unthinkable in the past, but now we are modern and not racist.
