I get your point, but I still remember that guy who got a $100k Netlify bill for his free plan.

As to the "executive sponsor" -clearly this is going to result in more "god" repos which keep accumulating responsibilities because nobody can be arsed to go through the official approval channels.

Source: my workflow once they required various TPS forms to be completed before you were allowed to create a new repository.

Up until a few years ago, SO published full dumps onto the Internet Archive. There has been a community effort which has picked up the torch and is continuing to do the same on a ~monthly cadence.

This[0] is my personal favorite that was posted on a battlestations page. If it is staged, I think the author is pandering more to the Buffalo Bill demographic rather than tech nerds.

There is nothing like the rage I feel when a car/motorcycle is moving 5mph in heavy traffic doing nothing but revving the engine nonstop.

I thought Nintendo had designed a non-compliant USBC port on the Switch. The conspiracy theory was this was deliberate to strangle the third party accessory market.

Have you checked the port for lint? I have found those disposable flossing sticks are an excellently sized, non-conductive edge of plastic you can use to dig in there and remove the bits preventing the cable from getting a good connection.

Here I was hoping that burn-baby-burn was a joke[0], but in fact, proper use was the only way to keep your job.

We took a random subset of the football team who graduated and went pro. College is looking like a fantastic investment!

The question at hand is about undergraduate. The student's pre-PhD education likely did have loans. If you go straight from bachelors + loans to a multi-year PhD program, the student appears completely destitute in the stats. Even if they are making long-term investments in their/societies future.

Until that video, I was thinking, "Yeah, this would be a really cool thing to do." Then I heard that awful racket of the navigation system bringing constant misery to the entire experience.

Also, it was adorable seeing her stuffed animals. Whatever it takes to stay sane over six weeks.

Also unclear how it works for the PhD pipeline. If you roll straight from bachelor's to a doctorate program - you have abysmal earnings for the next 5-6 years of your life.

'0' and '1', while not ideal, seems fine to maintain? There is not even a true SQLite boolean type.

Then again, I have been subjected to Oracle nonsense for too long and have had to accept all of the boolean alternatives: 0,1,'0','1',Y,N,y,n,YES,NO,T,F, etc

That page was disappointingly sparse. I wanted pictures of the interior - what does it look like to sleep, how much space when it is fully packed with food, is there any accommodations for the bathroom, or do you just go over the edge, etc.

There is also no Buy button for a Tesla Megapack on a consumer website, yet they are still being deployed.

I noticed more than one scene where it was actually raining, but they digitally edited it out (as best they could on a TV budget). I always thought it was weird for a place with such perfect weather that they could not delay shooting by a day.

Lithium batteries will also produce HCN in a fire. I believe sodium batteries actually produce less than lithium, but I do not have a primary source handy.

They might be a bit bigger than you want for home.

Those are maintenance + loot box on existing games. Sure, it still takes art and craft, but not the same kind of development work.

Is Split Fiction easier? While I thought the platforming in It Takes Two was fairly pedestrian, it was challenging enough that I was unable to get the other half to tough it out to the end.

Polish and Microsoft is a funny pairing over the last few years. More and more things are coming apart at the seams as the vibe-coded duct tape is failing.

That video is good - seeing the train-car dropping the panels into place makes it clear that you have some immediate labor savings on the initial deployment. Not sure if the post-installation labor was significant or could be automated away.

Still not sold on the idea. For something with a 20+ year life span, the initial deployment effort seems kind of irrelevant and should be better located somewhere that does not require ongoing activity. Train ballast requires replacement every N years which is going to require ripping up all of those panels.

Have the laptop continually monitor the physical environment - if anything abruptly changes, system automatically locks. If a decryption key is not provided after X seconds, force a reboot.

Something like bluetooth beacon paired to discreet BLE jewelry, WiFi signals -if the paired connection suddenly disappears, newly inserted human input devices (mouse jugglers to disable screensavers), unregistered face-detected, minimal gryoscope add-on looking for sudden velocity change, etc

All of these carry significant usability trade-offs, so probably only worthwhile if you are running the Silk Road and actively hiring hitmen.

  The New Delhi judge however went further, ordering sweeping new measures that tech experts say have rewritten rules of internet governance: Domain sellers should not offer buyers free privacy protection by default, the buyer's details should be released to  anyone with a "legitimate interest" within 72 hours, and website addresses that are variations of protected brand names must be prohibited.

I write SQL every day, but I cannot get onboard with liking the language. Yes, it is incredible that the language has had such staying power. No, it is not great that such a flawed design has persisted.

I enjoy this article[0] about some of the persistent warts which will seemingly never change.

Related - what is the best isolation system available? Do I have to go full, fat VMs or can I get by with a Firecracker-like thing?

Seemingly every available option has some subtle-gotchas about how easy it is to blow off your foot and effectively have no security at all. I use VMs because I actually trust that security is a foundational principle of the technology, not a well-if-you-use-these-20-flags-and-squint kind of deal.

Does this make you question the accuracy of your personal LLM detector?

You can still buy dedicated music players with many gigabytes of storage. Leave that in the car plugged into the stereo. They are comparatively dirt cheap from what was available before streaming took over.

They have a money printer that gives them nearly unlimited flexibility. Being a private company means Gabe can do long-term investments without concern.

Steam has been an incredibly good steward of its position, but I fear for the day when capitalism finally sinks its claws into the platform.

USDA[0] says that the US produces 1 million metric tons of oats per year, or 4% of global production. Sure, that is not the best, but clearly still in the game.
