The inability of people to deal with mild discomfort is truly staggering.
”How should I explain this to my children” is the epitome of this argument - 60 mildly uncomfortable seconds are not a winning argument, yet it is treated as one.
“What if a visibly trans person uses my toilet?”
Yeah?

What I hate most about this whole thing is that people pretend that THIS discrimination is ok, because trans people make them uncomfortable. As if that wasn't always the reason for all discrimination.

Uhhh, I bet it just checks the flag ( WS_EX_TRANSPARENT I think?)
Which is sensible, yeah! And usually, for GPU compositing texture bandwidth isn’t limiting - that mainly the issue on mobile CPUs.
Hm, what a weird and delightful situation, huh

I suddenly desire a ”unhelpful doctor explains what cricket is to someone who isn’t from a (former) commonwealth country“ style explanation.
I have no idea what it is besides “sport, popular in uk, india, aus” and I would like to get an even more wrong idea.
Is it related to the commonwealth even?

To be fair, if you’re not used to it, it’s hard to do stuff in an untraceable way

Huh, I hadn’t known that about dh h, and… wow. His recent writings are gross.
idk how to put it, but dude makes vaxry look like a saint, and he has none of the excuses (not young, is in US)
Including defending some awful transphobes, and …ew
Yea, no. Ew.

I want celebrate this kind of engineering more. It’s very beautiful in a way, and I’ve done things this way that would have been impossible otherwise.
Computers are capable and fast, we just need to let them!

I guess my main thought is that a 40eur machine is plenty to host most things, and it something I can afford to have across small projects.
Like, I can afford this, and it’s infinitely many proj that share the machine. Basically my “private cloud” if you will

Completely get that, but it’s the warm fuzzy feeling of “it’s just a linux box, I control it” that I like.
Also, if you do anything with a database you want attached storage, and I could give another rant right there lol.
Cloud DB is very annoying if you don’t have >10TB of data

I’m so glad for Hetzner. Yes, 40€/month is expensive, but then I have one decent server in a datacenter (with datacenter-level support, and hardware replacements should sth fail.)
Yeah, it might go down, and I need to do my own backups. But imo worth it.
(And 13500k is plenty for my application)

“The cloud” and this kind of pricing has ruined people’s perception of how fast code should run, and how cheap it should be.
It’s so strange how much money people are willing to spend to not run apt update and edit an nginx config. Instead, you get the joy of 3000 gcp or aws menus.

My favourite ”physics is annoying” is and probably will always be the good ol’ “and what do you call a fast-changing current in a long conductor?”
i’m bad with hardware stuff, but this always makes me appreciate the difficulties, and is a nice reminder about side-channel attacks.

There’s fiber in my street. The ISP offered to connect it.
My landlord declined. There internet over cable (docsys) in my street. It can’t do the 1gbit/1gbit, but it can do 500/50. the cable guys offered to connect it.
My landlord declined.
i hate my landlord corporation.

> but if I wash less clothes at a time I will use more energy
I wonder how different the energy use is in general, given that drying clothes is physically fairly straightforward? “Evaporate x amount of water” seems fairly straightforward in terms of energy use, where are the losses?
