- Only if they are not told how to search the codebase efficiently. All you need is an MCP server for code search. There's even LSP backed MCP servers now.
- The problem with Hetzner's firewall service is it nukes network performance especially on ipv6.
- I don't really buy it. I live in the area, and what happened is that traffic increased dramatically everywhere but Barnes, which is where Hammersmith bridge is. People in Barnes generally love it, as you can read in the author's tone.
London in general has a terrible problem of car commuters who travel 1-2 hours across the city every day. They're going to take whatever route necessary to do it.
- It really doesn't take that much effort. Like any tool, people can over-optimise on the setup rather than just use it.
- OpenWRT supports PBR which makes this a breeze.
- I've done similar. But I just used PBR (policy based routing) on my OpenWRT router. Took about 15 minutes to set it up. You can pick which domains go through VPN. Works great.
- I know it may seem like the hardest thing ever - but you are doing the right thing. Come out, end the sham, start to heal. Otherwise you are in for a life of pain. I'm not gay but I'm divorced and whatever the reason for the divorce, it is always hard. But it's so much better afterwards, rather than living in a lie of a relationship.
- I’m just not seeing the market for this. Why not build a better steam deck dock instead?
- I guess people missed my sarcasm here.
See the username efforts of tech companies like Discord, etc.
- What is more likely to happen is a global namespace of unique names. Famous and powerful people get to pick first, because they are more important. Names can be inherited and become signs of your class and wealth.
You get to be Bob192382, because you got in early and only had to add 6 numeric digits. In the year 2100, we're at 15 digits.
- > To a large extent you get to decide which universe you live in.
It's a naïve view of the spectrum of human experience.
I'm a believer in the HSP theory. Some of us are wired to feel things more strongly at a low level. There's only so much the thinking part of the brain can do before getting completely exhausted and overwhelmed.
Not to mention the vast difference in life experiences. From the yuppie that has everything in life, to the person from a broken home who had to fight for everything. Or simply someone that has children vs the childless adult.
I have friends who are like what you describe. From my pov, they seem to lack much depth of emotion at all. And they don't even realise it. But I think it's also just how each of us are.
- I used it when Dropbox came out to get the max 16GB storage. Only cost me a few bucks too.
- Does it support all anti cheat and DRM? Does PCVR work well? What about old Windows rhythm games (with emulators like spice2x)? Until it has 100% coverage I’m not gonna drop Windows.
- > I think it may be one of those things you have to see in order to understand.
Or the person doesn't understand, then declares the language to be too difficult to use. This probably happens more than the former, sadly.
ex. I've heard people argue for rewriting perfectly working Erlang services in C++ or Java, because they find Erlang "too difficult". Despite it being a simpler language than either of those.
So your argument is centrally controlled and edited distribution of news information is superior?
I was born in 82, and news has been largely rubbish in almost all forms. Heavily biased by the editors/owners, things missing, weird focuses. The 1940s was filled with propaganda and newspapers were owned by a few moguls or by fascist governments.
At least with the uncensored internet it's possible to educate yourself. There is plenty of amazing journalism if you look around. Including on Tik Tok!
