Minnesotans at 30°F are a great example of direction mattering, and not just temperature; hit 30 on the way down and you’ll see them change out of shorts, but hit 30 on the way up and you’ll see them change into shorts

It’s expected you’ll pick it up on the job!

My mental model is somewhat orthogonal to this, 100% efficiency by definition is the most I can sustainably do indefinitely. I can probably do 150% if I really need to, but not for very long at all, and I’m usually between 85-105%.

If I’m doing ~30 hours a week of work I’ve been asked to do, or needs to get done, and doing 8-10 hours a week of whatever I think is important to prioritize, I’m probably in a pretty good place. I don’t tend to get overly rewarded with more work, and I’m still recognized as doing valuable and important stuff by my teammates.

If someone is doing way more than 40 hours in a week on more than a very rare occasion, some layer of management has failed, and if it’s the norm, the whole system has failed. I’m well aware that may be working as designed, but I would contend it was simply designed to fail.

Though to be fair, a lot of plans are at least easier if you start out with massive amounts of money.

I feel like this isn’t a great explanation of nihilism, someone might think it functionally is materialism, or some sort of skepticism.

Nihilism is the rejection of meaning, ethics, or knowledge as things that actually exist objectively. An existentialist accepts some form of nihilism, and grapples with its consequences. One key idea across existentialist thinkers is that Existence precedes Essence, that existing is always shaping who you become, rather than some kind of intrinsic being that nihilism would reject.

To be fair, we’ll probably get there at some point. There are some reasonable large size/viewing distance pairs where 8k can make a difference.

But you’re right, we’re not there, and we’re not especially close. Maybe in 8-10 years, it’ll be a more serious endeavor. But it’s probably not an upgrade most people will get much out of then.

He’s really good at making topics you might not expect to be interested in into really good videos. Dishwashers, heat pumps, and so many more

If you dig far enough, there’s a chance you even find some sexist bullshit in there somewhere

He did just reacquire ownership of GOG. Porting software can take time, but this actually might happen in the near future, at least a beta version.

You can run a VM in Windows. Virtualbox is what I’ve used in the past, and it’s pretty good. It’s obviously work to set up, but you can revert a VM and use it to test other sketchy software if you need

Have you tried a user agent switcher?

Asking whether the project uses AI responsibly means you either need to define responsibly in a way that people can apply objectively, noting that everyone will have opinions about whether it’s a good definition. Or you leave it undefined and the answer basically means nothing.

It turns out, when you kick people out of a community for being toxic, racist, or otherwise counterproductive to maintaining a community… they go form a right wing spinoff of that community. I feel like it says a lot that when you kick people out for traits that aren’t “being right wing”, they form communities around that shared identity.

You don’t want your editor screaming fast like /bin/ed on an RTX 5090?

Thanks to government subsidies it’s much easier to boot into the corn kernel within the United States. But if you enable your VPN within your BIOdieSel, you can still take advantage of them abroad

A launch that affects some measurable user behavior? I bet a tenth person got promoted for this

Agreeing with this, expanding a RAID array is not necessarily impossible, with something like RAID 5, and the right RAID setup, you could theoretically add an identical disk without wiping it all in the rebuild. RAID 1, you’ll 100% need to copy the data somewhere that isn’t the 2/4 disks in the meantime. In an environment where storage is expensive, RAID 1 is not suitable imo.

ZFS makes it so easy though. Throw a mismatched disk in? No big deal, it’s in your pool now. Want double parity for extra peace of mind? You can do that. It self-heals so you don’t need fsck, its maximum limits are too big to realistically matter on human scales, and the documentation on it is pretty good.

What’s the difference with their open-source control server, from headscale? That it’s officially published by the company?

I suspect there’s a tendency of experts in something to think of people who do it narrowly as people doing at least as much as they are.

The people who have a bunch of docker services, or complex multi-machine infrastructure are self-hosted software users, and probably in that 1-2% range. People who heard piholes are useful, so they bought a pi 3 and set it up are self-hosted software users. Somebody using an old desktop they got on Facebook marketplace for running Plex media are self-hosted software users… and so on. So are the people in their houses, some of their friends and family.

Using that inclusive definition, being closer to 10% than 1% makes sense to me.

I’ve been using Cinnamon for most of the last decade, but switched to Gnome3 recently, heavily customized to work like Cinnamon. Basically because Wayland is finally stable enough to use.

If Cinnamon gets Wayland support working well, that’s my choice. Otherwise I’ve got some Gnome3 configs that make it work pretty well, and I’d happily run it into the ground too.
