  • Wouldn't that just be a time based notification rather then dependent on any privacy invading metrics?

    • Why even have threads if they just lock them?

    • Pride Versioning

    Jump

  • For an internal project that's fine, and under semantic versioning you can basically break anything you like before v1.0.0 so it's probably valid

    • Pride Versioning

    Jump

  • Date based version numbers is just lazy. There's nothing more significant about a release in two weeks (2025.x.y) than today (2024.x.y).

    At least with pride versioning there's some logic to it.

  • Single player blackjack against the dealer is a good choice.

    The basic rules of the game are easy to implement so the payoff is quick and you can extend it later with additional complexity if you like.

    • Aces as 1 or 11
    • splitting doubles
    • Betting
    • Random card, single deck, multiple decks etc
    • Dealer logic as AI
    • Player AI with card counting

  • How does migrating go codeberg solve the issue of false star ratings?

    • This was in upliftingnews but imo, they've been overcharging for years and now they're framing this as a feel good story

    Jump

  • For the rest of the world, 16 oz is approximately 500 g so I guess that's equivalent to a 500 ml bottle.

    $2 for that is actually pretty reasonable for an event.

  • I think is the logic used for Linux kernel versioning so you're in good company.

    But everyone should really follow semantic versioning. It makes life so much easier.

  • Written in bash?! Superb effort but I can't help wondering why you'd choose bash?

    • What's your definition of a wealthy person? Sure, Bezos is rich, but where do you put the threshold?

    Jump

  • Wealth is anything beyond having the necessities of life covered.

    If you can afford a reasonable home, your bills, food, any dependents, eating out once a week, hobbies, taking a holiday or two per year, and contributing to your retirement then you're living comfortably.

    Anything beyond that is wealth, it allows you to splash out on luxury products, luxury holidays etc.

    Some people may never realise they're wealthy because they live excessively and believe that's the norm, ie payments for an overpriced car, spending excessively on hobbies etc

  • Can you really take a source seriously when it presents every statement so emotionally and dramatically

    The trouble with the truth inside America's most famous five-sided building exploded anew Thursday

    • There is no propaganda in the west

    Jump

  • Not necessarily. The war became a turning point for many of our established views today.

    At the time anti-semitic views were common in the US, and Hitler didn't expect the UK to stand against him.

    If the UK had stayed neutral, Germany might well have succeeded and anti-semitism may well have become normalised in western views.

    • What do you think goes on in a dog's head when he's following you around?

    Jump

  • And their hands are at dog height.

    There's nothing funnier than watching a dog following a kid around waiting for it to drop food, then getting bored and just taking it.

    • Paranoia Level: Virtualization vs Isolated Machines for Self-Hosting?

    Jump

  • Do websites come under the remit of self hosting?

    Personally I host static websites with GitHub, cloudfront, netlify, onrender etc. Trivial to setup, more reliable and better cdn distribution. Anything dynamic lives in a data center rather than a self host setup.

    • Paranoia Level: Virtualization vs Isolated Machines for Self-Hosting?

    Jump

  • Fair, but you were asking how people approach security for self hosted solutions and I guess I'm challenging why anything needs to be public. Self hosting is typically for your own services which can usually be hidden behind a VPN.

    The exception I guess is email, but I never understand why people attempt self hosted mail servers

    • More than a third of schools force Religious Studies GCSE on pupils

    Jump

  • Religious Studies should be abolished and replaced with Cultural Studies that looks at a wide variety of different cultures to provide a rounded look at the world without digging deep into any one particular religion.

    In my middle school RS lessons and homework was always rewriting bible stories. The school had no religious affiliation so I have no idea how that teacher got away with focusing solely on christianity.

    My senior school wasn't specifically religious but it had was linked to and made us of a christian building. And RS was taught by a reverend but it was a lot more balanced covering Islam and Hinduism too. Regardless I was very happy they weren't ridiculous enough to force RS as a GCSE subject.
