I think the difference is that it’s harder (impossible-feeling) for people with ADHD to abandon the nostalgia box distraction and get back to the chore they were doing. Or, once a person with ADHD finishes going through the nostalgia box and starts coming down off that dopamine hit, it can be hard (impossible-feeling) to do anything afterwards, let alone the boring chore, leaving the person stuck in a “frozen” state.

Obviously there are different levels of severity to ADHD, and my understanding of it is colored/biased by my personal experience, I’m not a doctor, etc., but this is the difference I’ve noticed at least.

You can save quite a bit by getting a refurbished Pixel - looks like the cheapest “Google certified” option (so it comes with a 1-year warranty) is a 6a for $250, which is nearly half off MSRP. I’ve been using my 6a since launch, so it’s been going for 3 years now and I have no desire to upgrade.

You can definitely get cheaper smartphones, but $250 for a 6a feels like a pretty big bang for your buck.

Gruffly “You’ll have to toss me”

Sir this is a cute cat pic meme

If it’s the one I’m thinking of, it’s actually pretty wholesome, would recommend

Hey why do you think they call it “grave” danger

A scheme like this is hard to replicate because, in addition to money, it needs a core team with a clear vision and the time to really make it a focus of their lives.

Sounds like an opportunity for the local government, and a way to create local jobs.

The anger isn’t (necessarily) for the rich person who housed people. It’s for the system who left people homeless in the first place, the system that will put those people back on the streets if they don’t pay rent/property taxes/whatever other fee people have to pay to exist, the system where the solution is literally just “have rich people pay their share and almost everything will be fixed” but for some reason the people in charge can’t (or don’t want to) figure that out.

You conflating anger with the system with anger for people getting houses is disingenuous.

A little display or indicator light somewhere on the toilet itself would be better than connecting it to some IOT app

Yeah I’d much rather spread poo particles all over my smartphone instead

Depending on how many layers of abstraction you have, your app may not have access to the raw HTTP response.

That sounds like either over-abstraction or bad abstraction then

my hard drive overheated

So, this means they either have a local copy on disk of whatever database they’re querying, or they’re dumping a remote db to disk at some point before/during/after their query, right?

Either way, I have just one question - why?

Edit: found the thread with a more in-depth explanation elsewhere in the thread: https://xcancel.com/DataRepublican/status/1900593377370087648#m

So yeah, she’s apparently toting around an external hard drive with a copy of the “multiple terabytes” large US spending database, running queries against it, then dumping the 60k-row result set to CSV for further processing.

I’m still confused at what point the external drive overheats, even if she is doing all this in a “hot humid” hotel room that she can’t run any fans I guess because her kids were asleep?

But like, all of that just adds more questions, and doesn’t really answer the first one - why?

Lmao. Sure buddy.

Try handing over your “self documenting code” to a junior dev who doesn’t know the language it’s written in and see how far they get with it.

Now hand that exact same codebase with comments to the same junior dev, and I guarantee you they’ll get further than without the comments.

Eh, Squid was definitely a bit of a shit stirrer the last couple weeks I saw them post. Pretty sure they caught some bans from a few communities for incivility. Hope everything is going ok for them, but I think taking a break from Lemmy will be a good thing.

It’s basically the same concept, just implemented with a k8s cluster so you have scale-to-zero capabilities I guess

And I was just adding extra details

This worry exists for literally every 3rd party dependency, not just docker, and is addressed the same way - by running tests and vulnerability scans in a sandboxed test environment before shipping to prod

Changing that kernel API wouldn’t just hurt the Rust devs, it would hurt literally anyone who uses that API, which includes other Linux maintainers. Anyone trying to “prove themselves right” by mucking with kernel APIs would swiftly be called out on their bullshit, and probably be removed from the project.
