tech ceos love to talk like it's impossible to know what the computer will do at any given time as if that's smart and powerful and amazing. the determinism was like, the best part of the computer though. removing the determinism is the opposite of smart. it's stupid

Australian English uses analogue for both, but allows analog in technical contexts (like how front end development forces me to spell colour without the u). We also write 'defence' though, so feel free to ignore/mock us, it's fair enough

The paradox of thrift is a counter argument to this. If we still need things like centralised grids to exist, and everyone is minimising their cost individually by opting out, then the overall system collapses. Entirely individualised incentives will not magically solve all our problems

Dude I fucking love compilations of 90s stuff. I live in Melbourne Australia, and a couple of weeks ago I watched a restored video shot in 1994, about our tram system (still the world's largest to this day) and its fleet and issues at the time. Time capsules like that are great!

Love the staying power of some laptops. The Dell Inspiron 1501 I used between 2007-2011 now has three original parts remaining - the bottom shell and the two halves of the monitor enclosure. Every single other part has been replaced at least once. I still have it to this day, it earned its keep.

Omarchy: "oh DHH found something cool that everyone else already does, and tried to turn it into an over engineered product and pretend he invented what it's using under the hood... Again... Just like Rails..." He just likes people depending on him to be their genius rather than learning stuff.

This is just the first mockup but I decided to make myself a tshirt so people will stop fucking talking to me about how much they love AI
a y2K style tshirt with the crew of Sailor Moon and the text "HOT GIRLS HATE A.I. - It makes mediocre people even dumber!"

The Last Jedi is the good sequel. Revenge is the good prequel. Empire is the best movie. Andor is the GOAT.

That's the thing about categories, right? They're highly context dependent.

If this offends you, you might as well fucking shout in the face of your mates if they welcome you into their home for a barbecue. That's literally what you sound like. "Welcome. Please make yourself at home" "I DON'T HAVE TO BE WELCOMED TO MY OWN FUCKING HOME". Absolute deadshit behaviour.
