kro92kfmrzz··on A New Way of Voting That Makes Zealotry Expensive
I was describing the politicians themselves.

But I did conclude that they also fall short in many areas.

kro92kfmrzz··on A New Way of Voting That Makes Zealotry Expensive
Basically they disagree on how to treat their fellow citizens.

Democrats are against outright hostility and blatant marginalization of certain classes.

But both have largely been ok with everyone being exploited by feudal trade economics, bombing other nations to satisfy global political norms, and swindling developing nations out of their resources, while emotionally coddling elites.

It means something to not be outright hostile to the truly marginalized, but the Dems have not exactly been labors friend. And most people are laborers. They’ve failed the majority plenty.

Hm something got lost there. Intended to write their garment design and known sizing guide as constraints.

Basically start by changing colors around.

Until 3D printed textiles get there anyway.

It could lead to more than just putting casual models out of work. Fewer stylists and designers would be needed.

Let the AI generate the color patterns (sticking with Gap as an example, it might retain their chosen /size as constraints) and boom, on demand styling

kro92kfmrzz··on ACLU: Border Agents Violate Constitution When They Search Electronic Devices
And if the public organized around changing this notion at all they could.

It’s not as if laws and norms of society are dictated by physics. They’re dictated by the people with guns.

The 100 mile and its associated rules are an arbitrary choice. Security theater.

kro92kfmrzz··on Epic Games Is Acquiring Psyonix
They’re known for products that service hardcore gamers. Limited appeal twitch shooters, and face melting new graphics. Not exactly known for their emotional thinking relative to Valve.

Not hard to see similar limited appeal moves to amass popularity with a particular type of eyeball.

WeWork is a new Sears, leasing floor space for companies to stock and display their smart people.
kro92kfmrzz··on Jenkins Is Getting Old
We’re currently replacing Jenkins with EKS, and if it goes well, will consider doing the same with Circle.

External partners have costs. And really the kind of things we need these things for here are pretty easy to configure in a Docker container.

What we expect we’ll end up with after the Jenkins switch is Cloudformation templates we can hack into a Circle CI replacement.

And we’d use GitLab if we could start over there but are bought into some end user tools and workflows that connect to GitHub that people don’t want to give up. BUT no one cares about Jenkins going away since they use it through a Slack bot ️

kro92kfmrzz··on Indie Game Removed from Switch After Dev Reveals It Has a Hidden Code Editor
There’s definitely an argument to be made about how this dev should only be shipping to hundreds, thousands, or millions of personal devices via Nintendo’s infra only what’s printed on the tin.

My hacker nerd side is all giggly.

My security and consumer conscious sides bristle at the idea some dev thought it was a great little in-joke to ship this to unsuspecting users.

kro92kfmrzz··on Intel Stockpiling 10nm Chips
I only upgraded from my 2009 i7 (I forget the model) to last years i7 because the old motherboard died.

I kept upgrading GPU and seeing only 20-30% CPU use while gaming. It was fine.

Some changes to how we build these things would be nice.

The heavily integrated motherboard model should die. A PCI slot on my old board made the whole system flake.

Discrete components I can stack are more my dream design. If my old CPU had been a sealed unit of some kind with a physical connector to the GPU, power, and such, and I could have simply swapped out the faulty port expansion “module”, that would be slick.

But one PCI port flaking means I have to bail on an otherwise perfectly functional CPU, RAM, PSU, and cooling kit.

kro92kfmrzz··on Tolkien was right: Scholars conclude Beowulf likely the work of single author
It still seems possible that could be the case. The conclusion here seems to be “one person wrote down the words that tell the overall tale.”

Does not seem to preclude it originating as a series of verbal tales.
