69% of developers report losing 8+ hours weekly to inefficiencies—20% of their time (Atlassian, 2024)

Yep. If there is any company that knows what it takes to drive inefficiencies, it’s Atlassian. (Fuck them and their software.)

If you think that’s crazy, you need to read this: https://www.arebirdsreal.com/

I also just watched this PBS video: https://youtu.be/HxpkOym11pw

I would speculate that it’s related to Russia’s ability to retaliate and Russian allies willingness to help. Also, Russian reliance on the shadow oil trade is exponentially higher than it was a couple of years ago, so the investment loss is much higher now.

Most of all, politicians are just slow. I am not extremely familiar with EU politics, but my assumption is that decisions can take much longer to make when multiple countries are involved in taking actions like this.

Memes are the communist gateway drug.

These are actually real, for those who care: https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/mist-cannon-leaves-rainbow-trail-floating-over-city-avenue/1195796

Yeah. This is hail. 2018 Denver area, Colorado. When the conditions are right, I suspect the air currents swirl this against the mountain range until its heavy enough to get launched across the state.

I wouldn’t call this sleet in any country as sleet just sounds too dainty.

You can enable POP access for an email application like the standalone Outlook client, and it’s not a firm requirement to delete emails from the server. If you don’t connect with a client app that is configured to transfer all emails off the server, the webmail interface should work fine.

I have used this kind of setup multiple times.

Fair. “Extreme” was probably too strong. Still, I still believe it goes a little further than being just self-centered. He is just too quick to stroke his own ego for various accomplishments. It’s not that I hate the character at all, it’s just how I see him.

Extreme narcissistic and egotistical behavior is probably a sign there is something much deeper going on. Of all the categories I could put the Dr in, neurotypical probably wouldn’t be one of them.

That’s kind of the point. You want the sheep to think they are burning down society for some do-good ideology while the politicians sidestep the government into a into dictatorship or other kind of single party authoritarian system. Regardless, the politicians of the new government will be just fine.

No. It might be in a politicians best interest to ensure a population stays dumb and then ensure those dumb people raise even dumber children.

Don’t “have conversations” with an LLM. Give it instructions to reference information and it may fill in any gaps for you.

If you ask an LLM is something is justified, you are likely breaking the contex of your chat and any further output it generates.

Understand how LLMs work before you start treating it like a human.

Yeah, I tried to steer clear commenting on whatever people choose to follow politically or socially. It is a highly curated echo-chamber, is my point. (Most social media rabbit holes are echo-chambers, but ml wins awards for that.)

Just ignore ml. If you got banned for not knowing their version of whatever, you probably are just going to get banned again later.

For once, I am not knocking on ml for being ml, it’s just a very odd instance when it comes to social interaction. You must subscribe to the hive mind 100% … or else.

Brown rice has more nutrients which makes it ideal for fungi and bacteria growth, if anyone was wondering. (I start developing mycelium in brown rice for just that reason.)

Air, water, AIO, whatever. If it cools well, use it. I just prefer AIOs and there really isn’t any maintenance, was my main point. There are always tradeoffs between AIO, air or a proper water rig, so there is that. (Fans are crazy quiet these days, but when I made the switch, it was mainly for noise. I always run an overclock, so my fans were always hauling ass which probably isn’t needed now.)

Ultimately, I prefer AIOs for the way airflow is managed. It’s not better or worse than air in many instances, but I like working with a radiator rather than a chonky heatsink.

I cannot disagree though: zero maintenance is better than maybe-maintenance. Like I said, it’s about tradeoffs. (I can still make my PC sound like a fucking jet engine, though. Noctua server fans kick ass.)

I have been exclusively using AIOs for years now. Generally, by the time they need maintenance, its already time for a major hardware update and rebuild anyway. That is, of course, if it is serviceable. This depends on the quality of the AIO you buy, TBH. I had a first-gen Corsair AIO start to get audible air bubbles on startup, but it’s long since been recycled.

I am sure other people have some kind of horror story about an AIO leaking or something, but in general, they don’t really need to be maintained if it actually is a sealed system.
