We all have every vaccine you can get. It’s possible I’m misremembering exactly what disease it was, but I promise you that a single instance of our kid in a ball pit ruined a vacation for two families.

Ballpits encourage contact with eyes, mouth, and nose, then spread it all around over the balls. They are especially difficult to clean. It would be difficult to design a better disease transmission vector if you were trying.

guys guys GUYS this song has lyrics in it that aren’t literally true omg

Open source software maintainers, thanklessly (and often without pay) maintaining infrastructure without which the global economy would collapse immediately

  • you do not need kubernetes
  • you do not need anything to be „high availability”, that just adds a ton of complexity for no benefit. Nobody will die or go broke if your homelab is down for a few days.
  • tailscale is awesome
  • docker-compose is awesome
  • irreplaceable data gets one offsite backup, one local backup, and ideally one normally offline backup (in case you get ransomwared)
  • yubikeys are cool and surprisingly easy to use
  • don’t offer your services to other people until you are sure you can support it, your backups are squared away, and you are happy with how things are set up.

Title text: If that doesn't fix it, git.txt contains the phone number of a friend of mine who understands git. Just wait through a few minutes of 'It's really pretty simple, just think of branches as...' and eventually you'll learn the commands that will fix everything.

Former C-130 Flight engineer here, it was my job to calculate performance data for takeoff and landing.

Rain only matters because it increases stopping distance. It doesn't affect engine performance, and it never even occurred to me that a wet airplane would be heavier than a dry one. To get a sense of weights we care about, our empty weight is ~90k pounds and our max (peacetime) takeoff weight is 155k pounds. Performance numbers are good for 5000 pounds, so even if the water weighs several hundred pounds we'd never notice.

The most important factor in engine performance is the density of the air, which is driven by temperature and altitude. You get more power on cold days and at low altitude, less on hot days and high altitudes. (Which is why Denver has long runways)

There is a decision tree when planning a takeoff, and extended stopping distances due to a wet runway sometimes pushes you to use a higher power setting which is a bit less efficient. So the answer to your question is maybe a little, sometimes, but not in the way you think.

The correct way to fix traffic is to stop designing the world around cars to the exclusion of absolutely everything the fuck else including humans.

Agreed. OP was doing well until they replaced the if statements with ‚function call || throw error’. That’s still an if statement, but obfuscated.

They don’t have to, algorithms do whatever they are designed to do. Long division is an algorithm.

Profit motives are the issue here.

I’ll interpret “just learned” as in the last year or so

  • Lifting weights is good for you and you should do it
  • Running is only bad for your knees if your form sucks, your shoes suck, or you overtrain. Done correctly it’s good for you in basically every way.
  • Eat an inconvenient amount of protein, it’s also good for you.

Self hosting is pretty great right now. Immich, Tailscale, truenas, docker, vaultwarden - you can solve so many of your own problems with any old computer you have lying around

Not to defend capitalism in general, but it’s really good at answering these sort of “is it worth the cost?” aquestions. The whole point is to allocate scarce resources efficiently; the problem is that it assumes nobody is a scumbag and all the costs are accounted for.

Use any old computer you have lying around as a server. Use Tailscale to connect to it, and don’t open any ports in your home firewall. Congrats, you’re self-hosting and your risk is minimal.

  • If you don’t have a surplus of time and energy, self hosting is not for you. You’re taking on administration that normal people effectively contract out
  • docker is worth learning and using. It’s one thing to learn, and with that knowledge you can run basically everything. It really does make your life easier

You’re allowed to be happy sometimes. This is a win, enjoy it

I think it’s telling that none of his talks even make it all the way through his SOLID acronym, he sorta just trails off when he’s out of time.

His ideas were real big in the ruby community back when I was learning it, and if I ever go back that code is such a pain to work with. Almost impossible to follow the logic, inheritance everywhere, and I even thought metaprogramming was a good idea. Tests are the only reason that code has any reliability at all.

Now most of my code is procedural or functional, favors composition over inheritance, and is colocated as much as possible.

You aren't lazy, you aren't undisciplined, you just have ADHD. get that shit diagnosed and treated or you'll lose your full ride scholarship.

A desk job is fine, and you're good at programming. Don't be afraid to major in something computer related.

BTC is a scam but buy a lot of it as early as possible, it'll peak around 65k. God doesn't exist, the republicans are fucking ghouls

There aren't two sides to every issue, reasonable people can't differ on everything. Your trump example illustrates this perfectly: at this point no reasonable person has a positive view of him.

I’ll repeat here what I said on discord:

I’m no fan of stallman, but I like his quote: “I’m happy to pay for good software so long as it’s free”.

It’s important to remember that anyone with the skill to work on this project could earn a pretty good living elsewhere. We can debate the terminology, but at the end of the day devs gotta eat.

Personally, so long as it stays on the GPL they can call us “god-kings” and “filthy peasants” for all I care

Important bits that came up in the discord and I haven’t seen here:

  • User license is only there to make it cheaper for small instances.No word I’ve seen on transitioning from a user license to a server license down the road. Looks like you can switch by contacting them, and they have plans to do it automatically in the future.
  • It looks like enforcement is basically nonexistent. You could activate multiple servers with one license, or just flip a value in the db yourself
  • The reason they aren’t using “supporter” or “contributor” is because they don’t want it to sound like charity. It’s a transaction.

Delete the middle.

“I pledge allegiance to liberty and justice for all”

I’ve had exactly the opposite thought - every tutorial or explanation I find starts from scratch with create-react-app or something when I already have a project and I just want to know how to use your library.

Tailscale is pretty fucking great if you’re into self-hosting

Can't even use the heater in my mre what the fuck is this bullshit

To clarify, calibre-web is not "the docker version of calibre", it's a separate project that provides a nice web frontend for an existing calibre database.
