This conversation just dug some old nightmares out. In a past life, I used to be almost ecstatic when a client would choose Tomcat over WebLogic or WebSphere, or whatever abominati…

I'm convinced that some day bootc (or something similar) will be exactly what I'm looking for, but not yet.

A Raspberry Pi 5 16GB is $425CAD right now ($300 USD) which isn’t a huge gap. The price on SBCs is insanity right now because they have RAM.

YOU CAN JUMP ACROSS And as I typed that I can still hear the noise all these years later.

I could see just powering through because modern hardware is fast enough to do so being an option. Adding 20% to a 10 second operation is a lot longer on a wall clock than adding 2…

I only have a front lawn (townhouse) and I'm not allowed to plant whatever I want in it. If somebody reports it, the city can and will come tear it out and charge me for the work. …

Sometimes I think "it's a UNIX system, I know this" but I've been caught by subtle differences before too. killall is very different between Linux and Solaris, for example. I would…

I thought it was military and porn? We're past half way there.

> almost never But not never. "Almost" is doing a lot of work there.

Maybe, but isn't it likely the models are being trained on those same subreddits?

I’ve used a reciprocating saw on a couch before.

Chances are the file stays the same and what Im grepping for changes, so after the first run, it was less work for me not needing to go back as far in the command cat file | grep t…

Yes, I've heard this called "dead sea effect" before.

This sometimes happens to me when I get a migraine. A sentence can be coherent in the formulaic sense, but complete nonsense as far as words. I immediately notice that it's incorre…

I’ve definitely had them wear out and stop working, but I’ve never broken one.

If I understand the semantics of it all correctly, in that sense, there is no such thing as "Wayland". It is all a little bit confusing compared to the X11 ecosystem. You don't run…
