These are so simple and yet so clever. When i noticed them the first time i started noticing them everywhere (on all rail infrastructure).

What's this building? I suspect this might be a crime against architecture as a field.

Deep in the thread, asking deep questions.

If you ask me, survival of the fittest is not justice. It is what emerges from a zero-sum game and is not the optimal strategy for the human race.

Can someone explain why this would be even slightly useful to anyone?

How does one type without a and z?

This is the way. Docker (& compose) are not flawless, but they are predictable and useful enough for all my needs.

I currently have around 12 containers running on my server, all trough docker compose. Only thing I use nix for is providing tools & their configs. And also restic backups.

Why all the colors? You could have used only three different colors without any two colors touching...

Documentation should be generated from code imo

I agree, this is an anti-pattern for me.

Having explicit throw keywords is much more readable compared to hiding flow-control into helper functions.

Positive and negative what?

We do have "permanent address" here too and it is used to determine the voter station and district and thus the representative candidates you can vote.

Is the "permanent address" a thing just for the voting system, or is it used for other bureaucracy as well?

 

I'd expect the state to have a list of all its citizens and their basic personal info (age) which could be used to determine their eligibility for voting. In my country, we get a "invitation" to the vote, with your voter station and info on how to change it.

Instead, I'm seeing posts about USA's "voter rolls", which are sometimes purged, which prevents people from voting. Isn't this an attack on the voting system and democracy itself?

So why doesn't USA have a list of voters? Are they stupid?

Yeah, idk, ive never actually used win 11 and have barely used win 10. It just a meme.

That's right. Let's return to basics, to the first programming language we learn as developers: Pascal. Well at least I have, I assume everyone does too.

I know that the answer is yes, I should, but outlets near the setup are not grounded (even though they look like they are) and I don't want to have wires running though my living room.

The real question is what are potential problems ? Occasional system reboots? Permanent damage to PSU? Permanent damage to other components?

 
 

I'll just come out and say it: 50W. I know, I know an order of magnitude above what's actually needed to host websites, media center and image gallery.

But it is a computer I had on-hand and which would be turned on a quarter of the day anyway. And these 50W also warm my home, although this is less efficient than the heat pump, of course.

What's your usage? What do you host?

 

It seems like the nodes I find using wishbone are small and underwater. Are they even worth it?
