My company has build scripts that practically pull half an OS from an update mirror every time someone commits a code change.

It's maddening how inefficient CI/CD setups are.

But it's a badass fucking fractal!

The train ride home just kills it. I eat. I clean. I sleep.

Yes, this is dog.

I don't follow closely. I try not to follow at all.

I have two Surface Pros that are BIOS locked so I can't install Linux. They also don't support Win11.

I'm not sure what I can do with them.

Obstructed view means you have less time to react.

I visited last year. The way they handle trash is just black magic. There are almost no bins on the street. Everything is in disposable packaging. Yet, there is absolutely no litter.

The craziest example was Asakusa. I was walking around for 30 mins.holding about 10 food wrappers in my hand. Eventually a nice merchant offered me a plastic bag to put it all in when I purchased a drink.

Don't search for reviews. Search for forum posts where users are having issues. "[Product] + [not working/failed/broken]" gets you an idea of what the product is like to live with, and now quickly issues get resolved.

I don't tailgate, but I want to see what's happening up ahead. Positioning plays a large part in road safety. Maintaining a safe road position requires getting in front of visual obstructions.

I should also be able to go faster. Compared to a Ford Ranger doing 100km/h, I would need to be doing 147km/h in my car to leave the same sized dent in a collision.

Oh, I am not the danger. I assure you.

TL;DR: Baka gaijin.

I hate these things. I'm driving around the suburbs of Melbourne in a 900kg hatchback carrying 3 kids and their schoolbags. I find myself constantly overtaking these things as it's the only means of seeing past them. I'm not even courteous about it anymore.

Xiph have always produced the best stuff. Competition is great and all, but at the end of the day, Xiph's codecs beat everyone at everything.

This new thunderbolt feature hilariously does what I once did with RS-232.

I already do.

There is one. It's called "AirGuard" and it has been around for a while now. I'm using it on GrapheneOS.

GSF is where most of Google's invasive user tracking happens. It's proprietary, closed source and is not part of AOSP (Android Open Source Project). It is, by definition, spyware.

Google did not put it in Android. They put it in Google Services Framework. Ironically, GSF is the first part you rip out to protect your privacy.

My kitchen has a solid ban on any product with the word "maker" in the name. They're all junk that take up space and do a worse job than conventional methods.

An air fryer though. That was money well spent.
