It’s kind of an abomination when VsCode, supposed to be a lighter IDE, runs like dogshit compared to JetBrains, a fuckin’ Java based IDE. Since when was Java light on RAM?

(Caveat: I haven’t directly compared their memory usage, my experience is in very difference codebases for each)

It’s a little weird but not that weird.

You have to understand a) what Putin cares about and b) what the Russian people care about. Putin and Russia essentially believe that Ukraine, or at least the Donbas and Crimea, are and always were part of Russia. They think that the break-up of the Soviet Union was a national shame and in particular that the assignment of the Donbas and Crimea to Ukraine (because they were part of the Ukrainian SSR) in that break-up was wrong. Putin believes this fervently and has made several speeches about it. The Russian people likely feel similarly but less strongly about it.

So placing Western troops in Ukraine or fighting Russia with them is seen in that light - imagine if the US had a civil war again, Texas seceded, and then Russia put troops in Texas.

But this is not the same when a Russian submarine gets depth-charged off the coast of some European country. Putin, and Russia in general, don’t have historical, deeply-held revanchist claims about Sweden or the UK or Belgium or wherever.

From the public opinion point of view, this means that Putin can’t ignore it as easily if the West supports Ukraine directly by putting troops there. And for Putin himself, that direct intervention is a much more serious challenge to his designs on Ukraine than taking pot-shots at military assets that “accidentally” find themselves violating the borders in sea or air (or on land…) of other sovereign states.

Well I want this to be true

Well, they will if vibe coding takes off. But if not, it’s not that different from how it’s quite reasonable to choose python because of its massive community and archive of Stackoverflow answers.

We have a gigantic monorepo at work.

To manage the complexity we have entire teams dedicated to aspects of it, and an insanely complex build system that makes use of remote builders and caches. A change to a single python file requires about fifteen seconds of the build system determining it needs to do no work, with all of this caching, and the cache can be invalidated unexpectedly and take twenty minutes instead. Ordinary language features in ides are routinely broken, I assume because of the difficulty of maintaining an index of that stuff on such a huge codebase. Ordinary tools like grep -R or find can only be used with care.

Leftover food from a catered talk/conference

Yeah good point. I mean arguably they are still reputationally damaged, but that’s also not enough.

It’s important to understand that glyphosate has been the subject of a lot of studies. Naturally those studies require increased scrutiny now, in case the same dishonest tactics have been used on others, but the likelihood is that the overall conclusion that glyphosate is safe is still true.

Unfortunately the retraction of a paper by a journal only really harms the scientists who were involved, not the company that instigated the fraud. When there’s a financial incentive to subvert scientific transparency, that seems insufficient. But I dunno how you could resolve this legally (or legislatively).

Are volumetrics computed on the CPU though?! I didn’t change the GPU at the same time.

But jam comes in jars of a minimum size and sometimes it goes mouldy before finishing.

Yeah, it couldn’t be the UN-confirmed genocide, nor the IDF-sanctioned videos of complete devastation, nor the steady wash of articles from journalists with decades of experience confirming utterly inhumane practices around aid distribution, rules of engagement and civilian deaths. Couldn’t be.

Then you haven’t been looking very hard. The airline industry in the US is a good example. Your internet search terms could be “deregulation case study” and would also find negative cases

EDIT: you can downvote, but can you type three words into a search engine and click on one link that doesn’t align with your current opinions? IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE!!

I have a C2 with LibreELEC but last time I checked there were zero os updates for years :( any suggestions?

Lol, doesn’t surprise me given how that game runs. It looked like any other game but prompted a couple upgrade from me

That would essentially mean the only reason to use Linux over Windows is ideological opposition to Microsoft, which is sheer nonsense.

Hey. Hey. Fuck you.

In KDE I type in “tor” and “factorio” appears above “tor browser”

I believe you can disable the dumb search providers.

Bahahahahahaha as if I’m logging onto Netflix on my TV.

I mean the entire app is shit so we cancelled anyway, but that was the only way we used it. Smart TVs can suck an absolute bag of dicks. My not-particularly techy partner specifically wanted a dumb TV, so this isn’t even a niche nerd bubble thing
