If there's any PII in slack (which in itself is wrong), you cannot use this data for training, since the people whose data is being used have not given their consent. Simple as that.

I also promise, to pay you back, if you give me 10 million. No contractual obligations, but I totally promise!

Again, because enshittification refers to the exploitative monopoly.

Vegas as a whole never had a monopoly, no individual casino in Vegas had a monopoly, and today's online gambling has certainly some larger players, but none of them have the market power to squeeze both sides as much as Amazon does.

What you're seeing is simply a shift within the market. Nothing else. Yes, people are being exploited, but not because of some monopoly that forces them to do so. There's plenty of competition in the online gambling sector.

No. Enshittification specifically refers to a business slowly squeezing everything out of its monopoly position and making life worse for everyone involved.

This here is just a failing business scaling (or shutting) down. Nothing more.

He received bribes in 200€ bills and then complained that it's really hard to actually pay stuff with it because hardly anyone ever uses anything larger than 100€ bills and it will draw attention (and suspicion).

Yes.

Well.....

The other parties in Germany are not less corrupt, they just take money from German lobbyists and are a lot smarter about it.

The real irony is that the self proclaimed patriots are literally traitors.

Compared to Java, it makes me write the same data structures three or four times.

Just an example: if I want to be able to insert a struct via Diesel, I need to write the actual entity, an entity without the id for inserts and maybe some other structures for queries. Also, I need to write a schema file defining the DB plus an SQL statement for actually creating the needed tables.

Another example: explorative testing. Sometimes you need to disable chunks of code for testing purposes. Maybe that long running computation or a DB query, etc. Rust often forces you to write a bunch of "corrections" to make the code seem correct again.

I get that this is useful, but for my line of work, it's just a pain in the ass.

Let that toilet bowl in.

Rust needs some layer on top to make it more usable for the typical business apps.

I tried to build simple CRUD apps, but it's still a huge pain, because there's just so much stuff I need to do myself and so much low level overhead that I need to keep in mind.

Java is worse in many ways, but for cobbling together a mess that barely manages to do its thing, it's really great.

They're recycled, look at the end of the dev duct.

It was never "trustless", but trust in the system as a whole.

The change you mentioned is more a change of the definition of "system", since now it's effectively an oligarchy.

Effectively they speed run something like 400 years of banking regulation and its history.

Wait, you push to main directly? That's not exactly what "trunk based" means.

If cloning a repo is an issue, you're using CI wrong. --shallow has it's purpose.

Anyway, in my project a complete CI run including local integration tests takes about an hour. We could cut that down by running things in parallel, but we never bothered to add more runners.

I would say, if your tests hold you back, you might want to reconsider testing. Staged testing is an option, or just reevaluate whether you really need all those test cases. Many integration tests are not really testing that much, because 95% of them overlap.

Because Ryan wrote it like this 10 years ago and nobody bothered to rewrite it in C.

Back then, I'd guess most developers were relatively fluent in assembly, so if there's only a small change to make, they'd just change the assembly and move on.

From what I've heard, dogs have problems seeing the relatively low contrasts in darker faces and that freaks them out.

... Or they're just absolutely racist.

You don't swallow all of the milk and thus not all of the virus particles. There's always some residue that can then start to infect you just as if you inhaled the virus.

What I'm wondering is, how many deaths are attributable to slow evacuation? Usually, you only hear about the great catastrophies where the entire plan crashes into a mountain and evacuation was never an option.

But how many accidents cause a situation where quick emergency evacuations are actually needed? I have absolutely no intuition about that.

Because the hurdles for being banned are intentionally very very high.

Oh, and the authority in question (Verfassungsschutz) had a head who's a bona fide Nazi. So the agency to protect the constitution from (right wing) extremists was led by a right wing extremist.
