It's exactly this. Convenience. We've become accustomed to how convenient it is and don't want to be put out.

On the other hand, it's super convenient to never go to a gas station again, and to wake up to a full tank. So if you drive less than 60 miles a day, and have acess to another car for long trips, an electric is even more convenient.

It took me a while to take the plunge, but I'm never going back

If I had to choose, the bidet was a bigger life improvement. Both are great though.

Mexico would have to get in line. An oil rich independent nation with minimal defenses right on our border? They'll be a protectorate within minutes, and PR can take their place as a state.

If that's the average, knowing nothing else at all, we can assume they started with 80k debt. Half are just at the start, and half are almost done paying off.

In the cold they take too long to transition to clear. So you end up taking them off for a few seconds when you go inside. It's only minorly annoying.

I like to ask "why" over and over into they get to the core of their ideas, which is always hatred, and then they get embarrassed by it.

The 90s was not a few years ago. It was 30 years ago. It’s devastating how time sneaks up on us.

Sell yourself! Create a brand! Research companies!

No, fuck all that. Create one good resume and shotgun that into every open role you see. If you really like a role, put in some time to tweak the resume.

Play the numbers game. They are.

surewhynotlem ,

why would you want to work at a bad company

Paycheck until you find a good one.

surewhynotlem ,

And if you do know everything, leave. You’ve maxed out.

surewhynotlem ,

Don’t need a co-op for that. Just fork it and make the changes.

What's the equivalent of physics constants for social studies?

In physics, it’s common to develop a formula and then stick a constant to explain the unknown. For example, Newton’s theory of gravity uses the gravitational constant G on the formula F = G * m_1 * m_2 / r^2, later on Einstein gave a more accurate explanation with the theory of relativity which does not rely on a constant E...

Look, Mr Hari Seldon, you’re going to need to work these out on your own.

surewhynotlem ,

TIL??

Oh man, you are lucky. You have the chance to read the Foundation series for the first time. I’m kinda jealous and highly recommend it.

surewhynotlem ,

This is charity, and is ok as long as you process it as such.

It’s not really a mutual situation.

surewhynotlem ,

We built an automated pipeline, so yeah they will.

surewhynotlem ,

Ah yes. Zeno’s left foot.

surewhynotlem ,

Lots of high tech options. For low tech, electrical tape over the lights you don’t want.

surewhynotlem ,

If we downvote harder maybe

Very significantly different performance requirements. The client communication needs tuning for fast UI response. Unified comms (zoom, teams, etc) need to be redirected to avoid bottlenecking through the server. usage patterns aren’t very well distributed (everyone logs in at 8) which means you can’t over subscribe as much.

It’s very different than a server workload.

Source: I run 80k of these.

Sinclair is ok. He wrote a book called “lifespan” that’s pretty well regarded. Also look up Aubrey de Grey. His book, Ending Aging, is also good. He himself is problematic though. If you’re interested in this sort of tech, also look up the SENS foundation (I donate there).

Fair warning, most everything focuses on increasing healthspan, not lifespan. I.e. Being able to be active and alert at 90. There’s no way for tech to guarantee an increase in lifespan within our lives, because we would need a few generations of evidence to guarantee that. So at most you’ll get partial evidence and animal models. But you gotta start somewhere. And if we’re lucky, we’ll stop be around for the ‘proof’ in 200 years :-)

surewhynotlem ,

Not in this thread it seems

surewhynotlem ,

Ah sorry. Forgot I was on Lemmy, where people actually understand the difference between lib and left. You’re right, the pro capitalist libs are probably good with this.

surewhynotlem ,

Still sounds like an NCSI issue. You might have active probing disabled or it’s not working.

surewhynotlem ,

Porn sites should just VPN redirect your browser connection for you.

Salary is between 50k and 30 million. So 55k is apparently not deceptive. Drives me nuts.

surewhynotlem ,

Not free though

surewhynotlem ,

I’ve never heard of IAC on Windows desktops. IAC is about consistent building of cloud resources. These are individual physical devices and probably aren’t all being flashed and rebuilt with every deployment.

surewhynotlem ,

This is the answer for such a small group of machines. Have chatgpt write a script that runs X on every device in a list. Then have X be the install from a network share.

surewhynotlem ,

Sure. We manage about 110,000 endpoints with it at the office. It’s just not infrastructure as code.

surewhynotlem ,

As I understand it, IAC is not about managing devices. When a IAC created device needs an update, you update the config, blow away the device, and build new.

Ansible and puppet manage devices. If you need a change, you send the package or config or reg key. You can’t blow away a device and build identical, like you can with IAC. At least not easily and without lots of careful group management.

That said, IAC is changing fast and I may not be up to speed on all the features of those tools. We’re an MECM and intune shop, with a bit of jamf on the side.

Next week’s news: broadcom increases the price of VMware licenses ten fold and halts all feature development.

Source: they did it to Symantec. Broadcom is where tech goes to be milked to death.

surewhynotlem ,

You just need a bigger list

surewhynotlem ,

No.

The guillotine is a fantastic garbage collector, but it seems to trigger randomly. I’ll raise a bug report.

surewhynotlem ,

If you can be sure that the employees who would receive the tip are making at least a livable wage for the area that you are in, then sure, go ahead and not tip.

I personally don’t have time for that kind of research.

surewhynotlem ,

This was never about raising salaries.

Now that the data is public, the companies can implicitly collude to keep them low. No one will offer more than any other, which will drive them down.

surewhynotlem ,

Just like this comment

surewhynotlem ,

Check out Nitro Pro. We switched around 25k users to it after adobe jacked our licence cost by 30%.

Fuck Adobe.

surewhynotlem ,

That would mean at least one house at 250k and at least one at 1.5m. that’s not exactly crazy.

surewhynotlem ,

Then there are also few houses in the 1.5mil range. Yay median!

New homeowner lots of questions

I am a proud owner of a brand new home. I am in love with it. It’s cute the yard is perfect. It is old and lived in hard. And we couldn’t afford really nice. Pretty much everything we looked at had some serious issues so we chose the one we loved the most and the one we felt we could handle the issues. I have lots of...

surewhynotlem ,

I’d start with spending my time cleaning.

Then I’d work on whatever bothered me the most day to day. If you notice the issue often, that’s the one to fix.

surewhynotlem ,

Do it. If you think it’d make your life easier if people assumed you were a minority, then do it. It’s a free country. Go for it.

surewhynotlem ,

It’s not misogyny to recognize that certain groups of people are systematically disadvantaged and to want to counteract that.

It’s also not misogyny to pay attention to the growing body of research that shows that having people if different backgrounds on the same team results in better solutions.

It IS misogyny if people are hiring idiots just because they have a vulva. But no one is really doing that because that violates the profit motive and goes against capitalism.

surewhynotlem ,

Oh! Yeah, I didn’t get that. Thanks

surewhynotlem ,

The lines are dotted. You can cross dotted lines. If you do cross a dotted line, please check your mirrors, or you might run into the point of the comic.

surewhynotlem ,

No one should reach the center. The lines are dotted. If anyone ends up in the center they deserve a deadlock.

surewhynotlem ,

It’s not a u-turn if you skid into a wicked 540
