A new London bus costs around £300k, so whilst is plausible that the watch cost more than my 'car', it's a pretty stupid way of spending that amount of money...
Ignoring capitalisation you can add as many buffalos as you like and still be parsable. I've only ever heard buffalo used as a verb in this one context, though, so seems a bit forced to me
I, too, know people in Oxford, however none of them are insane, so none of them have described it that way 😅. If you're sold on AI as well then, yeah, lol, I guess that tracks. Wanna buy some NFTs, bro? 🤣🤣
Wow, hot take. Do you know what a traffic filter is? It's just a restriction on through traffic, so that smaller roads aren't used as part of a route by people going longer distances. It in no way restricts the overall distance that people can travel. In fact it's less restrictive than some LTN implementations, since at least the road can still be traversed
There's a study on this... I o py remember it pretty vaguely, but the tl;dr was that if people win at gambling it doesn't hold much appeal -- the initial drive to continue gambling only comes after losses. Something about 'making up for' anything you lost drives the addiction behaviour far more. This struck me initially as kinda counter-intuitive (you'd think that people were more motivated by behaviours with positive outcomes, right?) so it always stuck in my head...
Legal authorities operating in the host country will not be thrilled if you have an instance filled with csam, and all sane users will also want to be heavily distanced from it. The latter applies to any content widely deemed objectionable, not just to illegal material - which makes the motive for moderation pretty reasonable IMO. If the moderation for a instance doesn't suit the users, users and communities are free to move to an instance that better suits them, and this does happen. It's a strength of the fediverse.
I do see why you're saying that, but a server without admins would rapidly become a breeding ground for entirely illegal discussions, and it would be at least defederated pretty rapidly
This is the most excellent summary of Go I have ever read. I agree with everything you've said, although as a fan of Scala and in particular its asynchronous programming ecosystem (cats for me, but I'll forgive those who prefer the walled garden of zio) I would also add that, whilst its async model with go routines is generally pretty easy to use, it can shit the bed on some highly-concurrent workloads and fail to schedule stuff in time that it really should've, and because it's such a mother-knows-best language there's fuck all you can do to give higher priority to the threads that you happen to know need more TLC
You're doing the lord's work
