It certainly didn't start that way, having been there and followed them on their podcast -- pre-launch. It became more and more hostile. It was initially positive, even when questions didn't fit the mold. Then successive waves of pedantic moderators chased out the altruism. There never seemed to be a suitable mechanism to slap down the haters, then years pass, you need to ask a question, and find out that it is causing you anxiety to just post a question..

I don't really understand why there is resistance to in-browser Anubis-style gating using crypto mining for public sites like this.

You mine crypto and my free service remains cost-neutral. Yes, that transfers some of the cost to you, but it is marginal.

You want to bang on my servers with the fury of a thousand madmen, then I'll scale up the servers and you can pay the marginal cost of your access.

Or micropayments, of course, but hard to get normal users to sign up for micropayments. Micropayments could of course be the way to bypass the crypto mining gate.

Wrong.

It's much worse than that.

Governments, when faced with shortfalls in the government pension, will absolutely nationalize your 401k or IRA.

YOU, while attempting to responsibly take care of yourself, will absolutely be a piggybank to be raided. This has happened in numerous countries.

You wouldn't want to be selfish, would you? Sure, you forgo the midlife crisis sports car in favor of the Toyota Corolla you've been driving for years, but that's just tough. Shoulda lived for the now.

The crazy thing is that it is also equivalent to 33,000 0.1 pound bags of sugar.

Does it run slower? I'd expect dedicated hardware to do that encryption/decryption, in which case there should be no difference.

Why not charge $1 to apply ? Would drastically filter down spam applications.

_tailwind_ was the full circle. We had individual controls. We went to semantic controls, then back to individual controls a la tailwind.

The annual membership fee is about customer selection, for me.

What it buys for me is, "not Walmart People". Totally worth the investment.

Right, because if we can trust centralized control, we can't trust anything. Bring on the social credit!

I tried to use the Teton 65L to ruck. Just put a 50 lbs bag of wheat in there.

Shoulder strap failed on insert to main pack after six 1-hour rucks . Got a replacement. Zipper failed at bottom on another one.

Wanted to increase load to 100 lbs, but gonna have to go with a different brand.

In our household, the worst offenders of phones at the dinner tables are the grandparents.

It's as gross as 2 knuckles deep in your nose.

> Elon Musk mentioned [...]

He didn't say Elon was the origin.

Zone 2 cardio is pretty doggone easy. I notice that if I hit 50 minutes of zone 2, then it is a huuuge stress reliever for me.

Right! We demand engineering perfection! No autopilot until we guarantee it will NEVER kill a soul. Don't worry that human drivers kill humans all the time. The rubric is not better than a human driver, it is an Angelic Driver. Perfection is what we demand.

I looove Rust for the backend.

I've supported backends in typescript, python, Java, and Rust.

Rust pages me the least at night. Sleep is beautiful.

I used to enjoy the literate usage of the word "literally".

You'll get over it.

If the activities are distinct, dual boot. I do all my dev in linux and boot into windows for gaming.

Dev in linux is so much nicer for me than dev in Windows.

My one experience with dev containers put me off of dev containers... but standard `docker compose` is just great for me.

I worked at a company where we were trying to test code with our product and, for a time, everyone on the team was given a mandate to go out and find X number of open source projects to test against, every week.

Independently, every member of the (small) team settled on only trying to test repos where you could do:

        get clone repo && cd repo && docker compose up

Everything else was just a nightmare to boot up their environment in a reasonable amount of time.

I'm always curious about the of the option space. I appreciate folks talking about the alternative s. What's yours?

Anyone use Argo Workflows as an alternative?

Government Orthodoxy is what is taught to your children.

You won't believe or accept the new Orthodoxy.

But your children will.

Can we get dark-mode for another 5MB possibly?

(700 MB more is also an acceptable increase for this feature)

On second thought, I love looking at on-duty page emails in the middle of the night with 7 million lumens blasting my retinas.

The most effective ad blocker I've ever used. With that, it becomes better than chrome, in my opinion. Give it a spin, it's my daily driver for web dev as well ( just chrome debugger)

They're crushing it on ad-blocking. I love it for that reason.

Stackoverflow is like online gaming--lots of toxic people, but I still get value out of it. Ignore the toxic people, get your questions answered and go home to your family with your paycheck.

I think the difference is that the parents of today are _you_. _They_ grew up with unrestricted internet access, because their parents didn't.

I think that pornography is poison and my parents didn't know that I had access to it. "Not my kid!", they said. But my generation says, "It's every. single. kid."

> Has anybody tried an alternative like teaching children about the actual dangers, how to recognize manipulation, etc?

Another poison is alcohol. Some people think that letting their kids access alcohol in their house is reasonable. I think it is better to wait until your brain is more developed before trying alcohol. First experiences with alcohol at a later age tends to enable people to have a less worse relationship with alcohol.

To concur, the principle with guarding your children is the same as the principle of guarding your software systems.

Defense in depth. Multiple layers. Calender reminders to audit devices, usage, and look at router logs. Check in with your kids.

Neutered smartphone with zero internet access and apps locked down like North Korea.

We also lock up our alcohol, as many parents have chosen to do for generations.

That's essentially the rule in our house. No screens not visible to other members of the family.

In US, we restrict alcohol kids until they're 21. Pornography is poison.
