agreed. Additionally it may reduce the power of fringe groups from pressuring private companies who are doing legal business. The recent Steam and itch.io takedowns due to collective shout come to mind.

These days, there are some engines with (oil immersed) belts, but that's for fuel efficiency, not longevity. Chains last longer, typically, although I used to have a 97 Honda VFR that had neither. They started with chains in earlier

This is a great and important topic, one that I’ve bumped into against in past code. I think I understand the basics of time/zones/storage. However, on one codebase I worked on in the past, dates were stored in mysql in a dateti

I'm kinda sick of buying these cheap lead-acid based UPS units (only tried APC and Cyberpower so far) to have the batteries die in just a couple of years. Are the lithium-based batteries more durable (probably more dangerous)? Anyone

I also have YT premium. On desktop, I use firefox and the popout video feature. It is easily resizable and movable. Downside is that js-player controls still show on the webpage, not the popout. On ios, once paused, just tap anywhere o

Do we need some way to grade these services based on vertical or use-case? I actually tried the same tech questions to multiple services when I first started playing around with these commercial LLMs. I would copy and paste the same questi

heh, I know right? I see all those comments shitting on ruby and rails, and it's like, yeah, I get it dude. They hate rails, but luckily nobody is forcing them to use it. The more choices the better. Some people hate dynamic types,

As another non-python dev, interested in and trying to get into AI/ML, I think the limitation of venv is that it can't handle multiple versions of system libraries. CUDA for example, different project will require different versio

Sadly I agree. Splits are great. I am eagerly awaiting my ortholinear split keyboard from https://dygma.com/ - no affiliation other than being a customer of their first keyboard, the raise and having the defy on order.

interesting, i'd love to do this too. but it sounds like there aren't any full-featured, opensource packages/projects that do this all-together? I'd love to hack the parts together, but i don't have the time/

Sadly yes. I've dealt with product managers that want these sort of things, and when I explain why I think it's a bad idea, it completely flies over their head at mach 2. They really don't get it. At least the ones I'

I agree, I'd prefer longer battery life, and better performance in a slight weight and thickness tradeoff. Sadly, I've tried PC laptops (Surface tablet, Surface laptops and Asus laptops) and the performance (speed, thermals and ba

Back when StackOverflow had job listings, they also had an optional Joel Score ( https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/08/09/the-joel-test-12-s... ) that employers could fill out. Too bad that's dead. But w

yeah, that's disappointing. I'm a Ruby fan and my latest startup is built on the rails stack. It's using buildpacks though, so shouldn't it be (easily) supported?

Exactly. Once you get some basics of Ruby, there is no ambiguity, and I find it quite elegant. And I think I’m in the minority here, but I prefer the cleanliness of optional punctuation. That feature also allows for fluent DSLs (which seem

Could you expand on why it’s no longer awesome? I’ve only used papertrail in Heroku, until recently on a new project. It seems the same as before, but I’m haven’t needed to use it heavily yet.

For people with poor eyesight (like me!) plastic lenses are lighter and can have a higher refractive index, making them thinner than the equivalent glass lenses. Weight is the big thing though.

Do you have any references to this? I must have missed the news, something like a cultural blowup internally?

Heck, in my previous $WORK, I saw differences from local (running Debian) to production running CentOS. Luckily one cluster of Jenkins build nodes were also running CentOS and those caught a subtle incompatibility between system libraries
