GraphQL has all the right combination of abstracting a really hard problem, ignoring the hard details, and giving you enough toggles to pretend you can solve the worst problems that makes hyping it really, really easy.

But the libraries the FB devs publish are considered state of the art on the web frontend community!

And if you complain, there’s always somebody to say “if you are so good, why aren’t you working at FAANG?”

It’s a badly assembled fork of Debian that doesn’t have the same maintenance work and will both break sooner or later and have really large odds of not ever completely working.

Tried Suse and Red Hat before Fedora existed… Also a lot of stuff that isn’t on this graph, and made a system from scratch two times because of strict requirements.

No plans of moving from Debian. Why TF can one argue that those two are more productive? The only reason to use Fedora in particular is if you are stuck with it due to some hardware or contractual requirement.

In Brazil every expense that is required by law just keeps getting paid, whether there’s a budget or not.

We spent 4 months this year without a budget due to neither house agreeing with each other and none agreeing wit the Executive. Almost nobody noticed, it didn’t even make it into news.

I wonder if we’ll find anything to replace it some day, it’s not a good protocol.

Low code is a real practical way to increase developer productivity. And some of the current tools achieve exactly that already.

Of course, that usually lead to a increase on the number of jobs. The AI people want to believe it will completely replace developers, what can only lead to fewer jobs.

In a high-level, you don’t design them anymore. You write them, in code. The compiler turns your code into the chip masks, and has an optimizer that will mangle the hell out of the relatively simple stuff you wrote.

In a lower level, that compilation is not really done automatically, and people will intervene in lots of places, and AFAIK, how people divide it and interact with it are well guarded secrets from the chip makers.

If you use moodle, it has a plugin for that, with instructions.

If you don’t use moodle, you may want to check the instructions on the plugin anyway.

You think you are tacking ‘real’ issues with your servers, but to the average user you seem just as crazy as a guy with a basement full of beans and piss jugs, screaming about the government is watching us constantly.

The government is watching us constantly. There’s no doubt about this and if you think it’s not, you are the crazy one living in fantasy land.

At the same time, how do you think a basement full of beans would help? The entire path from “the government is bad” to “therefore I’ll have a hole full of food where I can live by myself for years” is dumb magical thinking that can be shown to not work by simply looking around or reflecting about oneself for a second.

There are many valid reasons to be concerned about a disaster. And yet nobody doing your traditional prepping for anything larger than a tornado deserves respect.

But somehow he is still old and scarred.

Ouch, I never even considered the idea of private prosecution in criminal courts. Looks like a remedy that is worse than the disease.

It doesn’t matter if there are entire battalions of lawyers looking for it. Persecutors have the monopoly on getting people charged with crimes.

The other question you can ask is: why isn’t the entire press on fire complaining about government workers committing crimes all day over all over the country?

The idea is that just the very end of the path needs a precisely sized hole. Every other part of the path is wider, what reduces wearing, and doesn’t need as much precision, so wearing isn’t a problem.

I have no idea how it actually works on practice. I never used one of them, and I never used an abrasive material.

Do you think those really tiny bearings used for the extruder axis’ can make such a sound?

Absolutely, yes. If it never made that sound and started with age, do not go sanding anything. Clean and lubricate again and look for broken parts.

Any point of contact can be making that noise. Including the motor, yes, but everything else is more likely.

Anything can be “pseudo”-any other thing if you apply enough pressure on the definitions.

Also, honest question: Are you cake?

It kinda is.

There exist a hierarchy of needs, it’s a subjective one but all people share a large part of it. There also exists a very objective and measurable hierarchy of production.

Interpreting that as “low-herarchy factors are X” is useless and dishonest unless X means “things we need to prioritize in a crisis”. And saying any of that comes from Marxism or any kind of communist theory is just bullshit.

At the end of the day all governments are desperately afraid of making people angry (at them), from the healthiest democracy to the most totalitarian dictatorship

One would think so. But a quick glance at Russia, or even the current US one would show you otherwise.

Most governments don’t seem to pay a lot of attention to it. Democracies tend to be the most concerned ones, but it still varies a lot.

China seems very stable to me. Their government is afraid of making people angry, and removing basic help like that is very likely to make people angry.

But also, it seems to me that the “generally” in “generally free” is doing some work. AFAIK, some care is free, some care isn’t. And the pretty good quality of life doesn’t seem to be universally distributed. Both of those seem to be improving quickly, but the “people are better than in the US” impression one may take from that comment seems to be a misrepresentation.

He’s supposed to be super-strong.
