Just the hype seeking people left to Discord and Reddit to be able to lament about how these new places are awful and crying about phpBB and vbuletin being dead.
I always liked reading about it in uni in the mid-late 00s. It made me feel smart in my OS tutorials when I could rattle off all the design choices and how they differed from Linux and Windows
My observations match this. I can get fresh things done very quickly, but when I start getting into the weeds I eventually get too frustrated with babysitting the LLM to keep using it.
Last place I worked had long running end to end tests that would take 30 minutes on GHA (compared to maybe 5 locally) on every PR. This is going to make that a very expensive endeavour
We host a fair bit of Terraform code in a repos on GitHub, including the project that bootstraps and manages our GH org’s config: permissions, repos, etc.
Hilariously, the official Terraform provider for GitHub is full of N+1 API call patterns — aka exponential scaling hotspots — so even generating a plan requires making a separate (remote, rate-limited) API call to check things like the branch protection status of every “main” branch, every action and PR policy, etc. As of today it takes roughly 30 minutes to do a full plan, which has to run as part of CI to make sure the pushed TF code is valid.
With this change, we’ll be paying once to host our projects and again for the privilege of running our own code on our own machines when we push changes…and the bill will continue to grow exponentially b/c the speed of their API serves to set an artificial lower bound on the runtime of our basic tests.
(To be fair, “slow” and “Terraform” often show up and leave parties at suspiciously similar times, and GitHub is far from the only SaaS vendor whose revenue goes up when their systems get slower.)
Folks spend so much time talking about second+ order effects of immigration, but it's the economy that's primarily important.
I don't know too many nativists / nationalists who agree with the statement 'I am fine with my country being poorer and worse off economically in exchange for getting rid of immigrants.'
Their political champions bill is as though removing immigrant labor will somehow make the economy better.
Because, yes, when has a smaller, more expensive domestic labor pool ever helped a country's economic competitiveness? /s
A chat bot or a the best surveillance tool ever created ? People are feeding these llm their entire life, you don't need to scrape 20 systems to get a good profile anymore
people also feeding these all kinds of bullshit. You can tell it anything, even that you was first person on the moon, and it will affirm it without a doubt.
not the best survelliance when it's based on arbitrary input...
I've been full-time Linux again for about 12 months, gaming isn't my main problem anymore. I think the only thing I'm having a bit of difficulty with is trying to get Jedi Knight working without crashing my entire computer.
Biggest problem I'm running into now is replacing all my music mixing tools. It's getting there, but it's a whole process.
Yeah, had no luck getting windows tools running. I'm only an amateur mixer thank God, but I found this list a while ago and have been having mixed success here and there https://github.com/alex-tee/lv2-plugins-ultimate-list
Just running these through reaper and it's ok enough.
I recently went back to full time Linux and the gaming aspect is fine with my RTX-3090. I don't really play anything like COD or Battlefield with all the invasive anticheat though, so your mileage may vary
Nice, I'm running a 7900XTX/7950X3D so I may give it a try - I don't game anything like as much as I used to though anyway so if the odd game did cause issues it's no biggie.
It’s honestly been great. I forgot the exact terminal command but make sure to up your…zram I believe? To be half…? your total ram. Double check me on that. Whatever it is, out the box it starts at 4gb, which leads to this kind of weird issue where I would play a game, I would stop playing the game and close it, then I would return and it would only open a black screen and not actually open the game. I would have to restart the computer to get it to work. Once I upped that the problem went away immediately. Literally the only tweak I had to make, everything comes out the box basically ready to go
We use paper in Australia and generally have a result by the next day (2010 being an exception due to hung parliament). We also have a very strict chain of ownership and auditible vote counts ledgers, if they're really looking for anti-fraud measures they could come and observe our AEC
