  • yes, Ukrainians totally marched into Ukraine and started shooting Ukrainians

  • ah, hexbears again? I was wondering what that smell was

  • Car free zones make every city and town better. There are really very few good reasons for a car to ever be in a city centre, that should be reserved for emergency services and accessibility for people with disabilities

  • well yes, but I don't think it's necessarily bad to go about it like you described, as long as you know that you're not actually using the smaller issues to procrastinate on the big issues. Tackling the smaller issues first can help you to understand the bigger issues better, both consciously and subconsciously, so as long as it doesn't actually matter in which order they're done, I think it can be more effective to do the smaller ones first. That all goes out of the window of course if you're using the small issues to avoid having to think about the bigger ones

  • I'm not arguing that, it's definitely very debatable if it's ever going to have some practical use outside of its current speculative one. That doesn't make it a scam tho

  • many are yes, but not all. Bitcoin and Ethereum (among others) are legit, and there are a few NFT projects out there that actually try to do the right thing even if they're not worth much at all. Many other NFTs are nothing but pictures that have no meaningful value except what you assign it to, but they never pretended to be anything else so that's still not a scam in my book

  • The drivetrain is definitely one of the best for BEVs, but personally I've always hated the big touchscreen that Tesla insists on (and others have been copying)

  • I guess I don’t understand this obsession with speed?

    for me it hasn't been build speed but rather execution

    I've run into problems with dayjs slowing down requests where I need to do a lot of processing. There are arguments to be made about replacing dayjs with datefns and how I should've been doing it differently anyway, but fact is that if the whole execution environment was twice as fast, it probably wouldn't have been much of a problem at all

  • I pirate mostly out of convenience, I just want access to whatever media I'm interested in and if there's a subscription wall between it and me, then more often than not it's just easier for me to pirate it than bothering to pay for it

  • Best get the champagne ready

  • If you're thinking about earning money with it while still being employed, think very hard about what you're about to do. But otherwise, screw it, they don't own what's in your head, regardless of what bullshit they thought they could put into your contact

  • any bets on whether red bull is sandbagging or not?

  • I admit I've gotten pretty lucky, but so far buying a house has been great for me

  • did he though? From what I've seen/heard, many of them would rather see themselves as martyrs / victims than admit that they've been duped

  • doesn't sqlite explicitly encourage this? I recall claims about storing blobs in a sqlite db having better performance than trying to do your own file operations

  • people only care when they're told to and are being paid to. If nobody told anyone to care about the archival of source code (and build environments) of old projects, then guess what, it's not likely that anyone is going to do it. Add some good old revolving doors and presto: shit's fucked

  • you know what I do like me some mechanical keyboards but I recently switched back to a run of the mill scissor switch keyboard because I think I like low profile keys more. Now I know there are some low profile mechanicals out there but I'm not sure I care enough to spend the money to get one. I think I'll give this one a go for a while, maybe I'll switch back later

  • ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

  • Can we have sound cards again, now please?

    I'm happy with my FIIO, works great with my beyerdynamics and no separate driver needed
