Out of curiosity is that just "modern" reddit or old reddit too? (However long old reddit sticks around, anyway, it's clearly not long for this world after they began requiring a l…

Brightness and color temperature are orthogonal. The dimmer switch only controls brightness.

I would say most LED bulbs. You need ones specifically rated for enclosures, which are way less common, and most people have the wrong idea of what counts as enclosed (the glass ho…

It's weird to me that you find that weird. People in general don't like worrying that every little conversation is being recorded.

I hate to be the guy arguing semantics, but is that the median definition? Everyone I know defines vibe coding as ignoring the actual output code completely and evaluating the resu…

I'd argue the conclusion is wrong. The premise, that places like CA are currently such tinderboxes as a direct result of preventing natural burning and continuing to develop in are…

> In the end neighbors and community at large ended up being against the grocers union due to a handful of cringe, edgelord members in utilikits over-stepping with their "uh ackshu…

It's not unusual to have sleep state issues on Linux, which is what it runs (an Arch derivative). Could be some faulty hardware somewhere, but it's not a concerning enough issue to…

Not OP, but the sleep and hibernate states on my desktop are pretty finicky and can't truly be trusted. I'd rather know everything shut down properly than risk it, especially since…

Sure, it's a work phone. And that job is with the US government, famously "of and for the people", meaning that citizens are owners of thar workplace. As an owner, I am not okay wi…

Then what's the right to it doing in the constitution?

This doesn't seem like a reason not to do address based limiting, just a reason it wouldn't be perfect. Perfect is the enemy of good.

> Migrating Spring Boot apps from 3.x t 4.x is now easy given all the tooling available. Is this true now? I used Claude-backed Cline in March to make that migration, and it got SO…

The claim was that the AI use is rampant in youth right now. I countered that with (real) anecdotal evidence from those who have the best view into the problem. You have not refute…

LFS is not installed by default alongside git, it's a separate package in most systems

I've actually been told by my teacher friends who used to complain about too much AI that their high school students are starting to reverse course here, and are now bullying each …

> You can't fight reality. Defeatism doesn't do anything positive for the world. You're trying to convince the people pushing for a marginally better world that they should give up…

This ties into my own theory about all this: for the first time in history, it's so socially okay to be child free. At any other time, it was assumed that if you got to a certain a…

> Because I hate to break it to you, they could have zero drop in quality by just not incorporating US data... This is so false and unsupportable it's comical. The same goes the ot…

> when you pay for an AI model you are paying for the marginal service of building a model off that data, not for the data itself Well no, you're also paying them for having done t…

At the same time, the amount of disagreement an opinion gathers is an extremely important channel of information for determining whether you agree with someone's position. Silencin…

Yeah I'm more worried for people spending all their income on high rent apartments or quickly depreciating cars.

I think the question was intended more as "what does PE have to do with Wikimedia", not "why is PE a problem".

As others have said, there's even more at stake with a nonprofit. Charities famously milk their employees dry by emphasizing what good and important work they're doing, to justify …

Being elected by a majority doesn't negate crimes committed, as much as a certain president would love everyone to believe that. Being elected shouldn't have anything to do with be…
