    Probably depends on where you are, etc., but as an European, I was taught in school two ways of splitting the year up into seasons: calendar/astrological and meteorological. Calend…

    I meant speeding cameras, where a system OCRs your license plate and you receive a fine after a month or even two months. Fine being monetary + points, depending on how fast you dr…

    But couldn't you then have the same argument for speeding tickets (or parking tickets)? Like, "I don't know who drove my car too fast or parked my car on the curb, so it's not my p…

    I see you have an axe to grind with EU. That's fine, but I'll say that I also lived in socialism, so I do have experience and perspective of what it was like. And precisely because…

    Of course it's political, what else could it be? If Putin's regime is censoring western media, is it any less political? In other words, is there any censoring of news media (forei…

    Yeah, I know about that. But it's not been implemented, so RT is in practice accessible. As are other Russian websites. I don't know what is sad about it, I'm just saying what is i…

    It's not banned. I am within EU and can normally access RT website. I can also access yandex, etc. Without VPN or proxies. SO, how is this "standard European censorship"? Don't bel…

    A nautical mile is ~6,076 feet or exactly 1,852 meters (???). That is actually defined by distances on Earth (which is of course an approximation, but still ...). So, 1 nautical mi…

    Can you expand a bit on this use case? Why would Puppeteer constantly crash on your own high end machine, but not on Trigger's infra? Puppeteer doesn't care where it runs, so it wo…

    Same here. I have a colleague that is completely enamored with these agents. Uses them for everything he can, not just coding. Commit messages, opening PRs, Linear tickets, etc. Ba…

    If they didn't take investments (and therefore not beholden to all that unicorn expectations), then it's totally fine. They've reached profitability sometime last yer, if I remembe…

    Yeah, min.io really soured AGPL license, for me at least. Because of their stance I've switched away from min.io in our company and avoid everything AGPL like a plague. Having read…

    Unfortunately, EU is not an entity with single and unified view on things. In the case of Russian invasion of Ukraine, there is a surprisingly strong opposition to related policies…

    Interesting! I can see it in two ways: (1) as elongated U-shaped ellipsis that rotates sideways and (2) as bent lemniscate that rotates vertically.

    I'm wondering the same. Either they are quite a big company, so such infrastructure comes naturally from many products/teams or their use case is to be in the clusters business (pr…

    We have *.example.dev, *.example.qa, *.example.com for development, staging/qa and production. Works well and we haven't had any issues with cookies.

    But you forgot to cite the next sentence: The output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. So, w…

    I don't know about ParadeDB, but this was very off-putting for me in case of Minio when they switched to AGPL. If you check their answers to various license questions, they are ess…

    I know this won't help you much, but as a point of reference. Last year they've blocked my account as well and wanted some documentation/proofs for their verification team. Which I…

    Hey there, does sharing the screen to Mac require some kind of cloud sync? If so, is there any noticeable delay from sketching on the device to appearing on Mac?
