    25 Gbps is a silly (but illustrative / clickbaity) take in this context. The more relevant measures as others have pointed out is how well-covered clusters of population are, but a…

    Doing performative things is not in conflict with expressing ourselves publicly. People create art and write in various ways and they are free to do so. If he wants to announce to …

    Don't you dads take any parental leave? Maybe that's why they don't find enjoyment from spending time with their kids. Kids and parents need time together to bond properly, regardl…

    What is the use case for bundling next.js with the web game? Just the layout of the page surrounding the game canvas? It just seems unnecessary, that's all. Traditionally, software…

    I'm probably going to finally give podman a try, but apart from the security advantages of daemonless, I pretty much have all these features solved on my Docker hosts already. For …

    I feel the same. It's a distinct part of nerd culture. In the '70s, if you were into computers you were most likely also a fan of Star Trek. I remember an anecdote from the 1990s w…
