Doesn’t the US have a constitutional amendment for this (maybe even the first one)?

I’d think the “originalists” would be all for this.

Sigh. I wish this wasn’t true.

And let’s not forget what is essentially Internet censorship.

I can’t argue, but there are benefits.

If you need something running 24/7 then on-prem may work out cheaper for you. Keep in mind you need a team of server monkeys to keep that running, and your company’s security certifications will come nowhere near that of a major cloud provider.

Cloud is good for elastic workloads. And you can save money that way if you’re set up for it. A simple lift and shift will always be more expensive. But doing things like moving build tasks to spot instances and auto scaling capacity in peak periods is a huge win. No need to over provision your DC and no need to upgrade your hardware – generally AWS releases new products at roughly the same price as old but with increased performance. You get upgrades “for free”* with no capex.

Again I’m not saying that your circumstance means that cloud isn’t more expensive. But there are medium term benefits.

AWS refused to offer hybrid as an option for years. They’ve changed their tune in the past 5 or so. No reason not to take advantage and do what mix makes sense for you.

I’m legitimately curious to understand more (not challenging your assertions). They offer hosted Jira/Confluence and probably other stuff no-one cares about.

What’s the problem with adoption?

Cisco, HP, and many other “Enterprise” switches will take a minute or two to start forwarding frames after boot.

Doesn’t really excuse Ubiquiti but that’s what they’re trying for.

Why are you searching for a solution to a problem you don’t have?

There’s nothing wrong with systemd.

Legitimate question: are you ever going to watch those videos again, ever?

I don’t go to concerts as often as I’d like, but when I do I’d far prefer to take in the moment myself vs. trying to capture it on my phone. I’m there for an experience; not a recording.

If that action makes your night better, so be it. I won’t get in your way. I do, however, get annoyed when I’m trying to watch an act and some idiot’s phone is held above their head, blocking my view.

Each to their own, but personally I don’t “get” it.

It is what?

I’m dying here with anticipation.

I’m from Australia.

Some spiders are absolutely bros.

Others seem to exist only to fuck you up.

Once you know the difference you’re fine, but I don’t blanket assume that every spider I find is a friend.

Didn’t realise we were using Luigi as a verb now.

I’m on board with the vernacular.

I strongly recommend Mullvad. Exceptional performance, wireguard support and if you’re really paranoid about anonymity you can literally send them money via post.

Even for the technically literate, running a mail server is an ongoing nightmare. If you think it’s easy, you’re not doing it right.

From a UX perspective I disagree. 1password wins at UX hands down but Bitwarden is a very close second and IMO has better privacy guarantees.

Security is useless if it’s too difficult. Despite liking Bitwarden I am a 1Password subscriber and happy with my choice.

Hypothesis

Anti-depressants.

They’re not more effective. They might assist with speed of absorption but that’s it.

I feel like I’m the exact opposite of what this article proposed however the entire thing confuses me.

I’m not rich but relatively well off, and, without doubt in the best financial position of my immediate group of friends.

If I happen to be the one that picks up the bill I often have people chasing me to pay me. I actually think that is a problem because they feel obliged to do the right thing, however I’m unmotivated because I don’t care about the outcome – I don’t need the money. This is my fault and I feel poorly for it but the reality is that after I’ve had a nice evening I don’t really care. In terms of the debt: honestly I probably wouldn’t bother asking.

The very concept of asking someone for 4 bucks seems abhorrent to me. To be clear, I say this personally; I’m not struggling to pay rent/mortgage/utilities/whatever. If you’re in a position where those are concerns then please absolutely follow up.

Chasing a $4 debt won’t make you rich, ever. Even if you do it all the time. Anyone well off chasing this kind of cash is deluding themselves.

Generally speaking my friends and I operate over a long term fairness principle. “Bob got the last round, I’ll get the next”; they won’t be even but our assumption is that it’ll balance in the long term. That applies to more than just the pub.

I’d prefer they make it fatter if the battery would last more than a day as consequence.

This book helped me out significantly:
