Yeah, I’ve filled 256GB pretty easily by recording on an action camera all day, maybe for a couple of days. 4TB would be very convenient for a holiday.

Did you pull it before checkout?

Yeah and this still wouldn’t cover something like xz-utils because I would only be aware of end user projects and not the libraries behind them. I’d have to draw up entire dependency graphs.

Now run an emulator within an emulator for extra acceleration.

OP:

Jokes aside, I think what you’re looking for is called a multiviewer. You want a 2x1 multiviewer to get a view like that, though it might be split vertically rather than horizontally.

Yeah, I don’t think it’s completely quiet and it also adds up.

I love the combination of auto stop/start, hybrids and electrics in the city. No idea what the real environmental impact is but the silence at traffic lights is amazing.

Brit here. I think we’re the same? I’ve never gone to a concert by car. It’s usually in a major city and it’s just easier by train. Not cheaper, though.

I’ve had friends tell me they’ve been stuck in car parks for hours while leaving concerts, so people obviously do it. It’s just not a great idea.

I guess it’d be different if we had massive car parks instead of train stations, which is becoming more the case with shopping.

Ah, sorry.

Don’t forget rustaceans for rust!

Good to know the name, I’ve seen it invoked a few times.

In fact, I had this recently at work where I questioned a decision only for them to retort with one similar characteristic which a prior suggestion of mine shared. This was also a modal fallacy as they only used that one characteristic to come to a conclusion about both.

You also see it all of the time in politics unfortunately, a lot of “yeah but you also…” where we should be hearing good justifications.

I’ve used it for the exact same purpose, great minds think alike. It’s perfect for that scenario given there’s no internet.

I just don’t use it much otherwise because apps like Signal are far easier to move my friends and family on to and they’re more than good enough. The metadata privacy Tor would provide would give me a lot of peace of mind but I know it’ll never happen.

F5 is American, they just had a Moscow office.

However the creator of nginx, Igor Sysoev, is Russian.

I feel like this is overlooked far too often. I rarely see anyone use data structures outside of (array) list and hash table and any attempt to use something descriptive of the problem is often shot down because of “familiarity,” which is sort of self-fulfilling.

I get away with flagging lists which should be sets, though.

Yep, employers under capitalism only understand leverage. Job hop, play multiple offers against each other, negotiate a higher salary and have the power to walk. It feels sleazy but it’s self preservation. It’s only as sleazy as their incentive to pay you as little as possible.

“Hard work” was the wisdom passed down but I think it came from confirmation bias. If your employer gives you good raises just to keep you, you’ll feel you deserve it instead of attributing it to a very good job market for workers.

It’s cool, we figure it out after a year or so in this environment (if nobody has told us.)

Where did you get 100 from? I’m just asking if it’s a real limit or a guess at “some manageable number” under one million.

It can be worth experimenting and tuning this value. You might even find that less than 100 works better.

Ah, it might be a regional thing. In the UK, the cheapest Vitamix is almost £400 where the Magimix was about £200 at the time. They might be pretty comparable but the prices don’t quite work out the same here.

Totally agree though, I was getting through a £50-75 blender each year for really silly breakages with no spares available.

A decent blender. Not anything industrial like a Vitamix, it’s a Magimix which was about half as much but still durable and has replaceable parts. It’s fine for what I need and is lasting much longer than the pile of crap I had before.

Vacuum pack bags for clothes is another one. I like to keep my wardrobe seasonal but I don’t have much space, so packing it down helps.

Also anything reusable: PTFE/silicone baking sheets, rechargeable batteries, reloadable floss handles. All of these have saved recurring purchases, money over time and reduced waste (which made me feel good.)

To be honest, I agree they should be able to be larger at times.

I had a lot of disagreements when I was on a new codebase, knew what I was doing and I was able to push a lot of code out each day.

The idea is to have them small, easily readable with a tight feedback loop. I argued that bootstrapping a project will have a lot of new code at once to lay the foundations and my communication with the team was enough feedback. If I split it up, each PR would have been an incomplete idea and would have garnered a bunch of unnecessary questions.

That said, I think it’s generally pretty easy to put out multiple PRs in a day, keeping them small and specific. As you say, half of the job is reading code and it’s nicer to give my coworkers a set of PRs broken down into bite sized pieces.

I’d be pulled up at my job for any PR exceeding a few hundred lines. I don’t even know what they’d do if I just dropped a 15000 line stinker.
