I’ve been running caddy on a FreeBSD jail proxying to another one running uwsgi+python3 and it has been a breath of fresh air.

Though, it comes with a somewhat steep learning curve.

But, in the end you can throw away that pesky search foo hat, and have some deserved peace of mind.

Usually I recommend the book as my friends don’t like summaries. But thanks anyway.

The OP lost me on a bunch of bad analogies. I’ll keep recommending to my friends The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity by Carlo Cipolla.

> Critical to this essay is Joseph and Buchenau’s interpretation of the post-1940 period vis-à-vis the other works under review. Using a term coined by Mario Vargas Llosa in 1990, they describe a “perfect dictatorship” between 1940 and 1968: a one-party system with the appearance of democracy that sustained regular elections and avoided military coups and social upheavals. In the reorganization that became the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) in 1946, the party removed the army from formal political power. The state/party emphasized securing dominance with loyalty, order, and representation of PRI sectors in local elections. The latter required central government reliance on local strongmen and their minions, effective political and cultural brokers. [0]

> The public split encouraged voices from the right and left. Add to this political contention the increasingly visible contradictions: uneven benefits of economic growth, population explosion creating pressure on the land and migration to cities, growing unemployment and inflation. For Buchenau and Joseph, the students rebelling in Mexico City in 1968 represent a coming-together of these critical contradictions: they demanded the rule of law, freedom from repression, and social justice.

I’m definitely not an expert in Mexican history. But that to me sounds an awful lot like a typical dictatorship, and a bad one at that. Otherwise, people wouldn’t push back.

Ironically you just loosely described a dictatorship, a democratically “elected” single party government.

Little humans in good shape can sustain for several seconds bursts of 1000W+ on a bike. Not so little after all.

Write that method in a category of NSObject and you’ll have it now. Objetive-C is a very extensible language with lots of syntactic sugar to help us out. Also, meta programming is lots of fun, but impossible without diving into the runtime guts which is part of the fun.

Imagine a society similar to the internet where people roam hiding their identities while doing whatever comes to their head. We have great times ahead, in Mars. I’m seriously starting to consider buying those tickets after all.

I’ve been there. The truth is that css media print doesn’t work with anything complex. After spending a week at it back in January, it felt very much like IE6 whac-a-mole. Long story short, I ended up fixing it in python using rst2pdf. Brilliant library.

Thanks for your link, but I will start here -> https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.02282

There’s no such a thing as small price to pay attached to privacy. You either have it or you don’t.

What did the trick for me was a decent chair, a trackpad with tap to click enabled, and most importantly I worked a bit on my triceps.

It’ll keep being a piece of cake until you buy something from a scammer amazon merchant with no one to appeal.

One of the best things I like about my local small businesses is that I don’t need to worry about choices. I just show up with a problem and they will always solve it for me costing me way less than I had budgeted.

That’s why some of those have been operating for almost 100 years.

In case you want to just have a look at the bridge without going nuts.

I’d say you’re still in a somewhat decent position. I miss those times. The real worries start when you realize you’re spending the other half of your time fixing bugs that would have never come to existence if you wrote it the first time.

Step 4: accuse others of doing the same thing you’re being accused.

Health professionals are no different than cops or any other worker. There are good and bad professionals working in pretty much any domain. Good luck generalizing and classifying people into groups. That has always worked great throughout human history.

There are more ways to harm a life than there are guns in the world. Just because a health professional gets a diploma and makes a promise doesn’t mean that worker will take good care of you or your loved one. There are plenty of cases all around the world where some health professionals killed tens of innocent people.

I’m seriously considering ditching my iPhones for any Nokia dumb phone. But what we really need is a mobile OS that is really free with no marketing BS, ideally BSD derived.

It’s not just the Leaf, all electric cars have a terrible resale value problem. People think that preowned EVs suck because these cars have depleted batteries, and they’ve heard car batteries are just like their other devices batteries. More than any other car, EVs should never be outright bought.

Yes. That’s why the OP talked about separating hot/cold data and scale up instead of scale out.

I’m one of those who will still buy my cars for one simple reason, I’m unable to live in other people’s filth. I’ve rented lost of shared electric cars and sometimes you just want to drive it into the sea.

Just like some people are used to park in handicap spots. I don’t think that’s a problem with the type of car but with a certain type of driver.

This is happening to normal folks with small businesses too. I have some friends who are being targeted by google and fb, for no good reason as they’re completely in the dark. We need to decentralize the web yesterday.

Thanks for your insights, I’ll definitely look into Element/Mattix. I didn’t know Signal was just another scheme to collect private data. But I always knew that WhatsApp == FB yet I couldn’t do much due to network effects. Decentralizing the web has never been so important as now.

So what should self sentient person do, just lie down and accept the erosions of our blood won freedoms? No thanks. I have right now all my company talking to thousands of customers explaining this mess to them and helping those who need to switch to Signal. So yeah, fuck you FB!

You’re certainly enjoying the conversation! /s

Now everyone thinks they’re geniuses too just because they can google random facts. You should talk faster than they can type just to keep having fun at their expense. Also, if you talk long enough chances are very good that you’ll find something they’re unable to easily google it. Most people are still lazy thinkers anyways.

It’s not a generation thing. The joke is the OP is obviously not six. We know that because most six year olds can’t come up with such an artifact to set the timeframe of an article. For more references on jokes like this read MAD. ;)

1.75m here and coach sucks for me too. For that reason and social distancing I just bought a car that can drive me to places I’d usually fly, in much more comfort.
