The change with the biggest impact on the industry is the interest free money faucet being turned off.

> Traffic within a data center is relatively cheap,

Most organizations will run their services spread across multiple data centers / AZs.

It's customary to mention when you're promoting your own project.

The evil part is when a company uses this to know exactly how much productivity to extract from an employee. We're close to becoming productivity batteries that are now easily swapped out.

Sora is a new text to video tool (up to 1 minute) announced by openai.

I always read it as "For Joe". I'm not the target audience (wants to self manage infra outside of work) and only see the project mentioned here.

When focusing on AI, it doesn't really matter much with Python being little more than glue to a lot of compiled libraries.

It's even easier to go from plain Django to django-ninja when you want less HTML and more json api. Avoids needing to migrate from Django's ORM to sqlalchemy.

django-pghistory is a good option with Django.

I'm mostly curious about how a normal person can get a zero interest loan?

You assume a partner is needed.

Does ActivityPub even support interactions that are actually private? Last time I worked with it, the private messaging was more akin to "please don't read this postcard" in the mailbox.

With companies backpedaling on self checkout, I think the no human employees future is unlikely.

2x6 is becoming more common for framing walls. The extra depth allows for more insulation.

Apple has many large offices outside of silicon valley.

I've added a similar safety to every project. It's not perfect, but this last line of defense has saved team members from themselves more than once.

For Django projects, add the below to manage.py:

    env_name = os.environ.get("ENVIRONMENT", "ENVIRONMENT_NOT_SET")
    if env_name in TEST_PROTECTED_ENVIRONMENTS and "test" in sys.argv:
        raise Exception(f"You cannot run tests with ENVIRONMENT={env_name}")

I have higher website standards for any project related to graphics rendering. Ogre's homepage with its white text over the yellow to green gradient background image is a bit of a disappointment. My vision is not bad, but I needed to select to read the text.

The discord should clearly state the community standards, including some variant of "don't be an asshole". Most importantly, the standards must be enforced.

These people, while knowledgeable, drag down the community with their toxic personalities and discourage others from participating. Who wants to ask a question if there is a high probability of being called stupid.

Warning and then ultimately kicking these individuals improved things as a whole. Others stepped up to answer questions and mods handled fewer complaints about the asshole's style of communication.

> Take away all the AI batch stuff and Python would shrink more.

Odd statement. Take away spring boot and Java would shrink more.

Next time you leave a job, look closer at the COBRA documents for what it would cost to continue the healthcare. Thankfully, you can roll the dice and opt-in retroactively for a month or so.

As some one in the US, I'd rather have the EU safety nets compared to the US unemployment rate.

The USPS is paid to deliver the bulk rate mail spam. That is one of their strongest reasons to not block it.

This is why you'd use the single "what do you want to be called?" value (e.g. preferred_name). Then it's not an issue because it's the exact text they provided.

It would take only a few moments to weld a metal traffic cone to a train track. Focusing on the exact timing to disturb the mode of transit is not relevant. There are always optimizations.

Blatantly lying on the CV is an instant rejection at the places I've worked. It's one thing to stretch your contributions on past projects, but to outright lie about the technologies used is a huge red flag. It's easy to teach a person the company tech stack, but I'm not sure it's possible (or worthwhile) to try and teach some one to be honest.

Alternative take as a dev that only uses Apple products for work, the local hardware doesn't matter that much. We've almost circled back to dumb terminals with everything running on a network connected server.

2/3 of a pickle spear. Any more and it can't round to 0.

People in the today ages believe the world is flat. Given population difference and the Internet giving ignorant people wider reach, it's possible there are more flat Earth believers today than there were in the middle ages.

This is the standard issue with fines. When they are less than the reward for non-compliance it is not worth complying. My town has many fines that are issued per day with increases at certain milestones.

Mountains can turn into a flat landscape in a geological timespan. It's also possible we've uncovered the signs of these type of ancient structures and didn't recognize them as such, used the materials to build something during our past, or pretended we didn't recognize it in modern times because that would have slowed/stopped a construction project.
