No one is forcing you or me to be on here.

Children cost relatively little themselves. What "costs" a lot is the opportunity cost of the mother not working, or paying a salary to someone else to watch your kids.

I don't doubt you could host this site on any old Raspberry PI, but I guarantee it's hosted in a data center.

There's a 100% chance this very website you're arguing on is hosted in one if not more data centers.

The nice thing about running a microVM like a container is the interface is relatively easy, especially if you've used containers before.

Do you have a strategy for secrets? Such as storing them, or using MitM to inject them (e.g., HTTP API requests)? I've used squid cache in the past, and currently use iron-proxy fo…

I know it's a losing battle. The way I see it is if you're not going to test performance under pressure, give everyone as much time as they want (within reason). If you want a fair…

That's precisely the point. Stop giving people unfair advantages.

Gondolin looks interesting. It sounds like a TypeScript wrapper that achieves the same thing as my setup: Docker & Kata Containers 4 (KVM/QEMU backend) for microVMs, iron-proxy for…

So Docker is finally adding native support for a microVM backend? I wonder how it well it will compare to using the Kata Containers 4 runtime with the KVM/QEMU backend.

What I don't get is why we disadvantage everyone who's honest. Just give everyone extra time to level the playing field.

Good luck working in the real world if you can't handle interpersonal interactions or being judged. The coddling has to stop. It's doing no one any good.

Does much agriculture use the sanitized municipal water supply?

You can use AI as part of your editing process. But it needs to be a process, back and forth with human input, and human editing at the end. What people primarily complain about it…

I have a compromise: An AI hacker image using a picture of your own dog.

This is more my problem with it. Obvious AI usage tends to be slop content, so any sign of it becomes a useful heuristic as to whether the subject is useless spam/slop. But I'm not…

It's more of just another red flag. If you're speaking a lot without saying anything useful, I'll drop out. This isn't exclusive to AI content but it exacerbates it. Not wanting to…

It's a useful heuristic. There's a good chance it's just nonsense rather than interesting information that was AI edited. Just give me your prompt. I'd rather read the raw prompt t…

By wiring up hooks I just mean binding a callback to a button that calls fetch() and processing the response (usually replacing HTML, but may modify content and classes on other el…

This largely describes me. I'm skeptical of AI in that it's capabilities, while very impressive, are vastly oversold and overblown. Being skeptical of AI is not being "Anti-AI". Th…

On the contrary, LLMs such as Claude Sonnet have been great for diagnosing complete system freezes that aren't logged, and handling iptables.

I want to handle a JSON response because I usually return data for multiple page elements. These aren't external APIs, they're requests to the backend server. A simple example is a…

I agree. I just pointed out npm because it's the most prominent javascript one.

The supply chain attacks you need to worry about come from using npm.

I really want to try htmx but it specifically prohibits my most common usecases: 1) I want to take a JSON response, create HTML from it, and replace the target element with the gen…
