A local park, looks especially awesome in fall when it's foggy. Some pics from last year.

the west doesn't have industrial capacity to fight ww3

To be fair, only 19% think it's getting better. The other 30% or so just haven't noticed much change yet I guess.

Yeah, I'd typically front an app with something like nginx and farm off stuff like rate limiting or tls handling to it instead of having to worry about it in the app itself. The general point in the article is solid though. I've started using this sort of heuristic to evaluate libraries as well. I first try to think of how I'd solve the problem conceptually, and then once I work through that and have a good mental model of what I want, I'll look for libraries and try to find one that's closest to the way I think about the problem.

.world is basically a liberal bot farm at this point

Yeah, for a decent entry level camera it's around a thousand bucks, and lenses tend to go for close to that as well. If you do decide to go for it at some point, something like Sony A6100, is a good starter. I started on the older A6000 model, and it served me pretty well.

That's how I started originally. I'd just walk around and if I saw something that looked neat, I'd snap a pic with my phone. And then I figured getting an actual camera might be a good pretext to get out of the house. The lockdowns kind of sealed the deal since I started getting cabin fever with nowhere to go. :)

The parliament did vote to close it, and I'm betting that's really what forced the US to back off cause they realized an energy market crisis would be a domestic disaster. That's the nuclear option Iran has.

Thanks, I find processing the photos tends to be half the fun. There are a lot of blackbirds around here, and they're very feisty. Sometimes they'll even attack hawks, and dive bomb people if they pass to close. But they'll also eat seeds right out of your hand. And titmouses definitely look neat. I like the color scheme, and the mohawk is very cool. Apparently they do come to Ontario, but I've yet to see one myself.

It's definitely a fun hobby, although a bit pricey in terms of gear. And I very much agree, just being around nature makes you feel better and allows you to think clearly. I was between jobs for a couple of months a few years ago, and I spent the whole summer going to the park. I'd get up around 6 in the morning, leave my phone at home, and go spend the whole day at the park. It was the happiest I can recall being in my adult life. Completely disconnected from everything, and just vibing.

I started with plants, but moved on to birds and occasional critters like chipmunks. Birds definitely take a bit of patience to get nice shots I find. I post some of my stuff on here https://pixelfed.social/Yogthos

I got into doing nature photography over the pandemic as a way to get out of the house, and it's been amazing for my mental health. It forced me to get out and just live in the moment really paying attention to the environment around me. I've realized how little we notice of the world around us normally. I've also found martial arts are a similar experience in a sense that you're really just focused on the moment and forget about everything else you've been thinking about.

What all this illustrates is that the US lacks industrial capacity for maintaining its hegemony. They've run through their existing stocks over the past three years, and they're unable to manufacture weapons at the rate they're being consumed. As a result, they have to make hard choices regarding which proxies have more value to them.

one of those I can't believe this site is free moments

If that's not a sign of panic, I don't know what is.

I find what you generally want is a service bus. For example, if you have common tasks like sending emails, making PDFs, etc. you can create generic services that handle the action, and then call them providing the context such as the document the service should operate on. Meanwhile, actual business logic and the state should absolutely live in a single place.
