  • You are never guaranteed to be able to do anything during a crash. You are better off handling these kinds of edge cases in a recovery phase during the start of your app.

  • Seems like a stretch to file a federal murder charge when it was really only the stalking that can be argued as "cross state". Isn't federal murder charge usually reserved for serial killers or killers that transport the body across state lines?

    • Has a simple backup and migration workflow. I recently had to backup and migrate a MediaWiki database. It was pretty smooth but not as simple as it could be. If your data model is spread across RDBMS and file, you need to provide a CLI tool that does the export/import.
    • Easy to run as a systemd service. This is the main criteria for whether it will be easy to create a NixOS module.
    • Has health endpoints for monitoring.
    • Has an admin web UI that surfaces important configuration info.
    • If there are external service dependencies like postgres or redis, then there needs to be a wealth of documentation on how those integrations work. Provide infrastructure as code examples! IME systemd and NixOS modules are very capable of deploying these kinds of distributed systems.
  • American Voters soon to get bad news that Trump does not give a fuck about them.

  • I don't think it's fair to say 2 is strictly whataboutism, because Chomsky has a founded fear that strengthening NATO as a military power through conflict escalation will lead to worse outcomes in the long run. That's why it's relevant to point out NATO war crimes.

    As for 3, that's a fair point, and I would press Chomsky to provide an option for de-escalation that doesn't involve allowing Russia to keep any Ukrainian soil.

  • I don't fear non-existing. I fear the process of dying and the unknown that follows.

  • Can you back up that claim with a link?

    I only read Chomsky saying:

    1. Russia's invasion of Ukraine was a crime.
    2. The US + Britain have committed far worse atrocities in war (e.g. Iraq, Lebanon, Indochina) than Russia in Ukraine.
    3. It would be better to attempt de-escalation of the Russia-Ukraine war than to strengthen NATO and continue a proxy war with Russia.
  • Allusion to Animal Farm, which is relevant to the discussion about class warfare.

  • This type of shit makes me aware that there really are devs that don't care about efficiency and will spend weeks on some really novice shit because their tools and skills are bad.

  • In the US. Google Fi simply unlimited plan.

    • $40/mo per line for 2 lines
    • Unlimited texts/minutes
    • 35 GB before it starts throttling data to 256Kbps
    • Works in all of North America.
    • I usually pay an extra $15 per line while I'm traveling out of NA to get nearly the same service abroad.
  • Good point. There are some where it's just a few miscellaneous files missing.

  • I have so many files that have been stalled at >95% for months.

  • The most important part IMO.

  • It doesn't unless that's your only goal. Having wealth gives you a lot of flexibility and potential, but it is not a good in itself. It can be used for good or evil, and it may require great sacrifice to attain it.

  • I don't understand how businesses that use windows for employee laptops are not throwing a fucking tantrum. I would be.

  • Cool so this article calls out various types of coupling and offers no strategies for managing it.

    Waste of time.
