I thought we all knew this?

Like not even joking

Just like UnReal World, I don’t think DF is ever going to be complete

Oh that’s interesting, you’ve got me curious. I looked into it and some other company has already established a similar system involving “chef hat” ratings apparently. I guess maybe they didn’t want to bother competing with it.

Apparently Michelin seems to focus on Europe, the Americas and South East Asia. Africa and the rest of Asia seem to be left out, though they seem to be expanding every year (the Philippines got their own guide this year for the first time apparently), so I guess it’s probably just a matter of time before other places are covered.

The software isn’t really the hard thing about these companies, the customer and provider UIs are nothing special and they achieve their scale using fairly industry standard event driven tools and cloud compute. They all talk a lot at industry conferences, so it’s no secret really.

Ensuring a restaurant will make the food for an order, ensuring a delivery person shows up to collect it, ensuring that food makes it to its destination in the same condition it left the restaurant, ensuring everyone gets paid at the end.

Preventing any of that from going wrong and handling it when it does is where the value of these companies lies.

Who is going to step in if a restaurant starts ignoring orders, or a driver starts eating the food, or a customer does a fraudulent chargeback?

Then there’s the money issue: where does the money go when people pay? Who owns the merchant bank account? Does every driver need a merchant bank account? How is tax accounting handled?

You can’t use cash for this system as both the driver and restaurant need to be paid, and the driver won’t necessarily go back to that restaurant

It’s pretty global, anywhere with a good restaurant culture will probably have at least one or two. I believe Tokyo is the city with the most stars for example, I would have assumed it was Paris or somewhere else french before I found that out

Tarantino & Nolan already got shouts in the thread, so:

John Carpenter for some of the best practical effects in cinema history

You’ve also got the likes of Stanley Kubrick & David Lynch, of course

Talking of Davids, David Fincher feels like he has enough good to make the list

I feel like you could go on a great journey through 80s-00s cinema with films having either Bill Murray or Arnold Schwarzenegger in the cast

There’s probably a lot I’m forgetting

but I figured, why not? And left my likeness open to everyone, just like Sam Altman.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Honestly about as bright as posting your credit card details on social media.

Privacy is something you can’t really get back once you give it away. Your likeness is just another part of that

My favourite is the difference between French french and Canadian French.

Many of the uniquely Canadian French swears are oddly religious compared to French french

FWIW I think it’s mostly gone the Aussie way in the UK over the past decade unless you’re taking to a pensioner.

Just the yanks now

6ish, I’d like 8 but I can’t really fall asleep until after midnight unless I’m truly exhausted, then work means I usually need to be up around 7ish

Not necessary preppers as that is someone who’s motivation is to mitigate some hypothetical future bad thing happening

I think most self-hosters are doing it out of a combination of technical exploration and mitigating real issues that exist today, e.g. cloud service outages or market exits causing something previously bought to be useful to become a temporary brick or permanent e-waste. Well, and cost in some cases, no one particularly enjoys having an extra bill for hosting.

I miss the keyboard screen series of Logitech stuff, I held onto my G510 a lot longer than I probably should have and only really retired it for something much nicer to type on around 2020.

If Logitech had released something like their G915 but with the screen, I’d have got it in a heartbeat. Even though game support had long dwindled, it was still good for media player feedback, system stats and IIRC there was a third party way of getting notifications from some sites to show up.

I guess smartphones kinda do most of that better these days… Well excluding the system stats, but that was always the fallback if nothing else was worth showing

This is kinda cope

Practically everyone’s job is going to be automated away before long, the important thing is that production is socialised before practically 1 guy owns everything and has to pay no one.

At that point things end up pretty concrete.

These opinion pieces that pop up saying “ha-HA! Behold the petard they’re hoisting themselves with!” Kinda miss the importance of preparation.

They falsely expect an easing to an exponential curve.

The cat leapt out of the bag decades ago, we all need to make sure we’ve got something left at the end of it all

I was doing some awful manual patching trying to get some Linux TV kernel patches into a raspberry pi kernel I was cross compiling on my main desktop.

IIRC I had both repos cloned for quick reference/source of truth and then a third I was using to do the actual work on. I remember running a du summary on my working directory with it all in at the end, and it was somewhere between 40-50GB.

There was probably a more space efficient way to achieve what I was doing, but there was no need to worry about that

I mean, this sounds like a pretty huge deal

Does anyone who knows this field better than me, know if this is as big as it sounds?

I wouldn’t say a gamer is remotely exceptional, some modern games take up 200+GiB (which is ridiculous, but still reality)

If you’re a content creator or hobbyist that does anything with video, photo or audio, that’s gonna disappear in a flash. For example, I came back with ~30GiB of RAW photos from my last weekend away, and that’s before any processing which will create some intermediate TIFF/DNGs. If it was a week away I’d not even be able to pull them all onto my PC to process.

Hell, I’d be worried about using most of that up by just cloning and compiling a Linux kernel, I think last time I needed to do that I ended up using about 50GiB

I’d say sure, the average web browsing, word processing user you’re probably thinking of is going to be fine for a while, but all other use cases aren’t exactly exceptional.

70GiB was a good amount of free space about a decade ago, not really at all today

Oh I was more saying that’s quite a low amount of free space for an application to be putting a message like that up!

I think my desktop has something like 20TiB free out of around 60TiB currently and I’d just call that a comfortable place to be.

… But I’d understand if a disk tool gave me some grief over it

70GiB is lots of free space? 🤨

I think if that was all I had left I’d already have a new disk in the post

Because Rust didn’t exist when sqlite was started?

I’m hoping that’s one of the first lines on the page

Edit:

Okay there is a section about Rust that it’s at the top of

None of the safe programming languages existed for the first 10 years of SQLite’s existence. SQLite could be recoded in Go or Rust, but doing so would probably introduce far more bugs than would be fixed, and it may also result in slower code.

Wait.

There’s a turbo onigiri?!

How the hell have I missed this concept
