One option would have been to stay small. Keep the yearly spend down where it was in 2010, don't hire too many more people, and save all the donation money they brought in. Build that fund in the good years to pay for salaries in the l

You could set it up to only route DNS, but that might be complicated for most people

I think the idea is that missing files will immediately cause issues (tests will fail, etc), so CI should catch this immediately. Adding extra, sensitive, files would not cause test failures, and even if they do (via secret scanners, etc),

For blocking, I would much rather run my own service.

I thought the consensus on here yesterday was that it was likely caused by cascading failures. OpenAI had an issue during their GPT-6 rollout, taking down their service. This caused a lot of OpenAI users to push their requests (or a larger

I feel like my odds are better with the AI than with random humans.

Well, the one it generated is based on how it thought the best way to solve the problem was. I am sure most humans would pick code written in their style, too.

Have you tried asking it to respond to you like Data from star trek, or something?

I don't think we can divide things into clean 'fun' and 'not fun' buckets. It totally depends on what things you find fun. There are SO MANY THINGS that other people love that I find miserable, and I know there are

I feel like you are just listing things you think are cool. I don't think everyone finds those things you listed cool.

KeyDown events don’t work great for mobile, though.

There are plenty of devices that support a lot of integrations. However, those companies don’t make the kind of perpetual revenue that bring in capital, and the companies that make the devices that don’t make you pay for their service end u

The question isn’t whether people EVER steal when there is a camera, the question is whether they will still LESS. Just because something doesn’t work 100% of the time doesn’t mean it can’t be effective.

Is app access really free, or do you have to pay for a developer account or something?

I don’t disagree that I could survive without the comfort, and I would probably get used to the discomfort after a while and wouldn’t think about it as much. What I don’t understand is why it is bad to have gotten used to modern luxuries, o

I am 43 years old and have been to many countries and locales. I have enjoyed nature plenty of times. I like short hikes, and pretty views, and seeing different types of nature. I just like to go home to a nice air conditioned room, with a

I live in Southern California, where the temperature is amazing all year round. It doesn’t matter, I still get sweaty and sticky when I am out in nature. We don’t even have many bugs here, it is nothing like when I visit family in Wisconsin

I 100% agree with this, and I fully support people who want to live their lives however they want to. I have no delusions that my preferences are universal. I just want others to accept the same about me and my preferences.

I have spent enough time in nature to know what what I like and don’t like. I am 43 years old, and grew up with a family who went camping multiple times a year all through my childhood. I have some good memories, but I always looked forward

I always feel so disconnected to my fellow humans when I hear people longing for "simpler times" where they are just out in nature with no technology or modern tools. I would be miserable living simply like that. I don't like

This is still the case. You can absolutely buy computers without an OS, but most people don't want that so they aren't quite as easy to find. Here is an HP without an OS: https://www.newegg.com/p/1VK-001E-4UPC

I have bought many computers that have Windows installed, they have all been trivial to replace with Linux installs. On almost all of them, I never even booted into windows once. Was it wasted money going to Microsoft? I don't know, I

Are you suggesting that you never know if the computer you are buying has windows on it or not? This is not the same thing at all. These computers all advertise that they come with Windows. It isn't like when you buy it, you have a 5%

Sure, if I had enough time. But I have more software I want to write than I have time, between my day job, my kids and family, chores, other hobbies, etc. I had so many projects I wanted to do, but when I thought about all of the work that

The entire point of this comment chain is that Apple makes great hardware but they don’t like the OS. Buying a Dell laptop doesn’t get you the 256 GB GPU.
