PC LOAD LETTER

Could he go work for the state and do more good there? To be honest I don’t really understand why the state can’t handle a murder case on their own.

You just have to scavenge parts from an old garage. Like cars in Cuba.

We’re doing that with PCs now too.

Maybe if you regulated it in a non-stupid way. So no.

That was a fun thread

I wonder how easy it’ll be to avoid.

(1) “Business entity” means any association, company, firm, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, real estate investment trust, or other legal entity, and that entity’s successors, assignees, or affiliates

To me ‘affilates’ seems like the key one, but I don’t really know what it means legally. Anyone understand this well enough to comment?

when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.

There’s no USSR, and China isn’t going take their place.

create entities or DTOs from schemas

Surely there are deterministic tools to do this?

"I had to present some of those facts that Crown Royal is proudly made-in-Manitoba whisky. It’s Canada’s number 1 export spirit,

Crown Royal is distilled in Diageo’s plant in Gimli, Man., but U.K.-based Diageo — which owns the Crown Royal brand — announced last year it was closing down the factory that bottles the whisky in Amherstburg, Ont., prompting Ford’s threat to take the liquor off Ontario’s shelves.

Doug Ford is a piece of shit, but they shut a plant in Ontario to move the work to the US. It has nothing to do with where it’s distilled. He also doesn’t give a fuck about Manitoba

Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside

How strange, this port of entry looks like a typical residential neighbourhood

It obviously won’t work for everyone, but for remote access I’ve been very impressed with waypipe. I use it to pull windows from headless machines onto my main workstation, like X forwarding.

I’d like something for persistence, like wprs, but it’s not quite there yet.

Suicidally bad naming is the one thing we can always rely on Microsoft for

For something pretty low level and gigantic, Mesa (or at least RADV) is a pleasure to hack on. It has a great config system (meson), compiles super fast, has lots of debug functionality, and can easily be loaded into e.g. a game, without any system level configuration.

True, but if we’re going to put our people ahead of profits for American corporations, we’re definitely going to need allies to guarantee our sovereignty.

• Kazuo Ishiguro - The Unconsoled

I’ve read most of his books, but this was the most magical for me. Knowing nothing about it was important, and it gave me a feeling of unease almost from the beginning.

• Thomas Pynchon - Mason & Dixon

Someone else mentioned Pynchon, and I absolutely loved this book. It’s huge and absurdly ambitious and I learned a lot about astronomy, but it’s also an all-time great bromance and there’s a talking dog.

That really depends on how much things cost, whether you have a social safety net, etc.

How about: is it more than 1% of what the CEO makes?

I thought it meant someone let Microsoft WinRT escape from hell.

The genie produces code at a pace no human reviewer can match. Coding isn’t the bottleneck anymore. I can explore three different implementations before lunch. I can refactor aggressively because the cost of trying something is so low.

Gross

If coding was the bottleneck, there was something badly wrong and AI is not the solution.

That’s not to say it’s the fault of the devs who are using AI, but we obviously haven’t given them the languages and libraries they need to express themselves concisely.

You’re still using their hardware for the coordinator, artifact storage, etc. aren’t you?

The last thing I want to be doing is defending microsoft, but this is inevitable in any free service. In fact this seems like one of the least-bad ways of enshittifying.

We should all be moving to self-hosting or shared hosting through a non-profit, but neither of those are going to be free.
