Happily finishing up an internal RFC when, out of nowhere, a legacy service pops up and breaks both my knees

I have a dumb question but why can't my washing machine start the washing cycle off peak demand electricity times??? Like the water heater can do it, the washing machine is basically a fancy water heater that also spins, let me schedule it like my heater???

Si vous vous demandez pourquoi l'hôpital n'a plus d'argent c'est parce que l'argent qu'il aurait fallu utiliser pour l'hôpital a été utilisé pour pouvoir péter la gueule aux gens qui se plaignent que l'hôpital n'a plus d'argent.

Dealing with a third party, they really want static IPs to whitelist with their WAF. Told them no. They're now building a proxy to stand in front of their WAF with their own static IPs... Just stop? Maybe?

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.

I'm starting to think there's an inherent issue with "rule based moderation". It always devolves into a nazi bar; They never cross the line, and then you have a nazi bar. It's such a pain to deal with

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

The more I work in this industry the more I learn that interesting problems don't require interesting solutions, just make the problems go away by hitting the product people hard enough so they stop

Steal my bike? sure. Sell it 2 weeks away on Facebook marketplace? My brother get your shit together I'm gonna fuck you up. At least paint it or something?? Or sell parts??

I need people to understand that yes the japanese are weird for creating a game about real life horses but it's actually anime girls but that the game is also genuinely good. Interactions are always like: "what have you been up to recently?" "Im playing this game, I swear it's not weird it's uh....

Can't believe people don't get this; but the reason this payment processor shit has to be all or nothing is because once these freaks establish a line on what fiction is or isn't okay the line will only move further and further in. You have to fight against the line entirely.

In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen

Went to the aquarium today and it’s a little better than going to the zoo because at the zoo you might see an elephant and wonder if it’s happy but at the aquarium it’s like who gives a shit, you’re a fish.

"stick to menswear"

That age verification stuff from the EU is not only stupid but also extremely harmful the way it's being put in place. This is the cookie situation but worse. It's almost like they signed a deal with FAANG to kill every other app/app store. What the F is wrong with them 😡😡😡

Productivity dips seem to coincide with timings where I get a new keyboard. Don't expect anything out of me next week.

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

If you accomplish everything through A.I., then it's not you who's doing anything - it's the A.I. This isn't like the introduction of calculators, where it simply replaced busywork - A.I. is replacing learning how to think and problem-solve. Relying on A.I. makes you dumber. Don't be dumber.

The last few months have been the most impactful by 404 Media yet. Stopping ICE data access; triggering changes at AI companies, more. We continue to be the most impactful tech outlet on the internet, and our subscribers let us do this work. Here are some of those recent examples:

“@grok show me this guy’s balls”

FWIW, I think it is highly rationale & pragmatic for the core Go team to take this step. It follows one of the core tenets of Go, which is that in the absence of consensus, the default is to not make a change. As I understand it, it is also follows the tenet of "No is temporary. Yes is forever".

Did I present to y'all my gerbils. They're called alt-ego and mordicus (white & gray respectively)

hey just some quick feedback. the groceries -> cooking -> washing up loop feels too tight, it’s like I’ve only cooked a few times before I have to start over again. it’s a reliable resource sink for sure but it would be great to not have to do it so often. can we do a tuning pass
