It has to if you want federated servers. You spin up a server, it needs to know everything it subscribes to.

There is no solution, because it is not a problem. That’s just the nature of a federated system.

If I walk in the park, I risk people taking pictures of me. That’s the thing about parks, they’re public open spaces. The only solution is to stay home.

The og Razr was truly a masterpiece. Sitting on a table, it’s vibrations could wake the whole house.

Does that not make them a hard link (pointing to a filesystem node) instead of a symlink (pointing to another filename)?

I mentally double check

So you’re saying you… mentally challenged yourself?

As “we” write more software slop

It’s that the one better or worse than the Explorer One S?

Gemini is complete garbage in Android Auto

It also can’t read labels on gmaps. Can’t read people’s “nickname” field in contacts (there are so many Roberts). And can’t access or write notes without also requiring access to my emails (hell no).

Those are the three things I use AA for, and it’s objectively worse at every single one of them.

Also, guess which middle eastern country regularly sends their officers to train the Singaporean military? Hint: it’s not Palestine

elements of the natural world in a symbolic manner

What about elements of HTML? It also has symbols.

The current legacy code I’m dealing with is full of these:

// TODO: Class description here to satisfy linter

I think you’re projecting a little. People act like this no matter the field. We swim in the tech pool, so we mostly only see the shit floating in our pool.

I can assure you the neighbour’s pool also has their fair share of floaters.

Any type of bread following the same standard will fit into a standard toaster.

RAM prices exploding only means Apple takes a tiny hit to their profit margin per device, considering how inflated they were in the first place.

Not just folders, every icon has 4-way configurable swipe. I’ve gone a little swipe crazy now. Who needs folders when you can launch 5 different things by swiping a single icon…

The Act of Killing

That was one of the toughest movies to watch. It’s been more than a decade, and I still can’t bring myself to watch the follow-up.

No, what they’re describing is a False Friend. A very specific type of homophone/graph/nym. They work across languages. And in many cases (though not a hard rule) have close enough meaning/usage that would confuse non-native speakers trying to comprehend things via context.

E.g. A German telling his English friend, “I’ll meet you at the gymnasium”. The sentence is correct, and makes perfect sense to both. But they’ll end up at two different places.

It’s called a cloaca, you uneducated swine!

(Sorry, couldn’t pass on a good streak of online insult throwing)

They are a wizard, yes. Nobody in their right mind would want to do it for so long.

They also reckon the other 50% is trying to harness the magic by randomly tweaking stuff in the hope it doesn’t blow up in their face…

I worked with someone that’s been designing RF circuits close to 4 decades. They reckon it’s only about 50% magic.
