> I've noticed with untyped code that at some point HOFs start becoming hard to write because the layers of abstraction get confusing […] I have the same with Nix (from NixOS). It’…

Yes, very. ML and LLM has its specific uses, but every company is slapping “AI” onto everything and it’s so stupid. Have you heard about the AI rice cooker…?[1] You might enjoy the…

Exactly! If you only look at the commute, you get ridiculous things like commuter trains, that only run in the morning in one direction and in the afternoon in the other. In the Ne…

We’re slowly inching closer to: Say McDonalds to end commercial [1] 1: https://web.archive.org/web/20230122044853/https://www.altch...

Desktop, Laptop, NAS and Server all run on ZFS and push snapshots to an extra backup pool on the Server (colocated in a DC). Those backups are also pushed to an offsite location (w…
