I tried for a while to use two 16:9 vertically. Like you say, vertical makes a lot of sense and it works great. But web devs seem universally to assume that if it’s a tall narrow screen, to show the mobile version.

Yeah, and Putin is mad right back at him because he’s gonna take over Greenland.

I’m holding out for falling out a window.

It’s going to hit GM and Ford who are set up to build cars in Canada and USA. The cars they make in US rely on a global supply chain. It’s going to fuck every carmaker in the US market. Hyundais and Chevys are going to go up in price 30% overnight with the metal tariffs on top of all that.

They already do. Mississippi water levels can be managed through Lake Michigan via the naval canal.

Ah, fair enough. That’s true. I’m looking at a client now with 1/3 of the company given domain admin soooooo… your point is made.

Wait do I upvote or downvote if I agree. Lmao

I had an agent spike CPU on some *nix boxes the other day. Straight to VMWare they went with the ticket. Why? Because the hosts were spiking too. Zero local investigation. Makes me mental because no matter what kind of enterprise agreements you’ve got for support, they assume you’re a complete moron as a result of activity like that.

Your opinion is pretty commonplace among Linux users, and as much as I appreciate the work you do, you should know there’s a lot of people in the windows world who are very competent - and don’t look down on other people simply because their tool of choice is different.

They’re there, but harder to find. And some are closing. I’ve had two or three in the last couple years that closed, in the reasonably popular world of cars.

That’s the problem isn’t it? We used to have forums where people discus things and blogs where people share what they’ve learned, now it is all Reddit and discord and absolute trash in between.

Doug has forgotten.

Danielle is on board with it all.

Their base follows

It has gotten so much better over the years. Which is more testament to how unutterably awful it was at release than how good it is now.

It’s amazing that they’re not seeing it coming. They’ll lose all their power and prestige

Several years ago I inadvertently (because I didn’t realize who they were) got in a twitter argument with someone who I seem to recall as the creator of electron about how it was fucking embarrassing how bad electron apps are. At the time I kinda felt bad because he seemed like a decent guy and I let loose but I wonder what the carbon footprint of his little side project is…

I think what started the rant was that back at that time, if you scrolled one page back in a chat, it would display a graphic representing a chat while it loaded the chat. And the fucking software was sitting there using a GB of ram and couldn’t keep 5 min of conversation cached. Just inexcusably bad.

I don’t know who at Microsoft had such a hard-on for electron back then, but it seems to have spread and it’s still nowhere close to the good old windows GUI for resource usage.

Thankfully it has gotten better. Slightly. Still pegs my CPU but I think that’s because I have a shit CPU with integrated gfx

It uses a fucking inordinate amount of resources to accomplish its task, mostly.

I’ve seen it grow low. Like thyme.

No wonder he was so upset about the Colorado portrait.

What sort of isp supplied residential equipment doesn’t block inbound connections? Pedantically, you’re correct.

You have a firewall. It’s in your router, and it is what makes it so that you have to VPN into the server. Otherwise the server would be accessible. NAT is, effectively, a firewall.

Should you add another layer, perhaps an IPS or deny-listing? Maybe it’s a good idea.

Not just salary - H1B are also good at following orders, because if they lose their job, they will get deported.

Station wagons are for mommies in the 1980s; all the cool kids want SUV and pickups.

So car manufacturers made station wagons with upright seating positions and “off road” styling and called them Crossovers.
