Probably depends on where you are, etc., but as an European, I was taught in school two ways of splitting the year up into seasons: calendar/astrological and meteorological. Calendar split is based on solstices and equinoxes (21st Marc

I meant speeding cameras, where a system OCRs your license plate and you receive a fine after a month or even two months. Fine being monetary + points, depending on how fast you drove. Police officers measuring speed have become quite rare,

But couldn't you then have the same argument for speeding tickets (or parking tickets)? Like, "I don't know who drove my car too fast or parked my car on the curb, so it's not my problem. The state should prove who did i

I see you have an axe to grind with EU. That's fine, but I'll say that I also lived in socialism, so I do have experience and perspective of what it was like. And precisely because of that, these EU bans don't worry me at all

Of course it's political, what else could it be? If Putin's regime is censoring western media, is it any less political? In other words, is there any censoring of news media (foreign or domestic) you would consider apolitical? &gt

Yeah, I know about that. But it's not been implemented, so RT is in practice accessible. As are other Russian websites. I don't know what is sad about it, I'm just saying what is in real life, not what is on paper.

It's not banned. I am within EU and can normally access RT website. I can also access yandex, etc. Without VPN or proxies. SO, how is this "standard European censorship"? Don't believe Facebook and Twitter propaganda bot

A nautical mile is ~6,076 feet or exactly 1,852 meters (???). That is actually defined by distances on Earth (which is of course an approximation, but still ...). So, 1 nautical mile equals to one minute in the 90 degrees hemisphe

Can you expand a bit on this use case? Why would Puppeteer constantly crash on your own high end machine, but not on Trigger's infra? Puppeteer doesn't care where it runs, so it would be nice to understand how Trigger's infra

Same here. I have a colleague that is completely enamored with these agents. Uses them for everything he can, not just coding. Commit messages, opening PRs, Linear tickets, etc. Basically, he uses agents for everything he can. But the produ

If they didn't take investments (and therefore not beholden to all that unicorn expectations), then it's totally fine. They've reached profitability sometime last yer, if I remember correctly. It was discussed also here on ha

Yeah, min.io really soured AGPL license, for me at least. Because of their stance I've switched away from min.io in our company and avoid everything AGPL like a plague. Having read the license many times and also all discussions around

Unfortunately, EU is not an entity with single and unified view on things. In the case of Russian invasion of Ukraine, there is a surprisingly strong opposition to related policies in Brussels amongst the people in quite a few member states

Interesting! I can see it in two ways: (1) as elongated U-shaped ellipsis that rotates sideways and (2) as bent lemniscate that rotates vertically.

I'm wondering the same. Either they are quite a big company, so such infrastructure comes naturally from many products/teams or their use case is to be in the clusters business (provisioning and managing k8s clusters for other com

But you forgot to cite the next sentence: The output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. So, what is 'covered work'? The license says th

I don't know about ParadeDB, but this was very off-putting for me in case of Minio when they switched to AGPL. If you check their answers to various license questions, they are essentially this: if you use Minio in your stack/prod

I know this won't help you much, but as a point of reference. Last year they've blocked my account as well and wanted some documentation/proofs for their verification team. Which I provided the same day, but then it took near

I don't know. It's not what I was used to before in my previous homes (thermostats in different rooms, specific temperature settings, etc.), but you know what? It keeps me warm and is cheapest heating I've ever had to pay for

The controls available aren't in the sense of thermostats - for example, you can't ask it to keep temperature at 21 degrees during the day and 18 degrees during the night. Instead, it has something called 'heating profiles&#x
