Yew is 16x stronger

If your balcony could support the load you could grow quite densely with hydroponic towers, but you won't ever recoup the costs. That method is also very little work beyond the initial compared to soil.

The article doesn't say that. It says that most arent spending above 43% on housing. It doesn't dig into that, likely on purpose.

LLM to generate ideas, history to check uniqueness

Rigid filter works great. I only use paper filters if I am bored and want to use the aeropress.

I get it.

There are quite a few areas on the linux desktop that show obvious signs of too many choices and loose integration making it an unpolished experience.

Outside of niches like online forums, people seem to think GUIs and marketing are what make something professional.

In reality outside of individual use you really want to avoid GUIs in configuration so that you can be consistent. You shouldnt have to dig down into menus and click through lots of screens to do comparisons or set something up. Thats really where Microsoft's ecosystem is weakest right now. WinRM and powershell remoting lack polish in the same way wifi or bluetooth management in the linux desktop does

You cant fully setup winrm with gpo, for example listener addresses get bound the first time its enabled with gpo and then its just stuck at that. If the system has it's ip changed you have to disable the gpo to make any changes and when you get it fixed it reverts when the policy is applied again

Microsoft only seems to care about how things will be managed in their cloud now and all products for managing things locally are showing some rot. Sccm -> mecm -> mem is terrible, theyve even ending all training for tools for on premises management. All they do is azure training and certs now.

You can absolutely go as nuts or more nuts with this on linux. You can do all kinds of hardening steps, and centrally deploy the policies with push or pull. Microsoft has even moved towards dsc (desired state configuration).

Fascism is more about control and there's a lot of pivoting to maintain the appearance of authority. So there is a lot of hypocrisy on topics that are often claimed that they are just totally against. Fascist leaders work with highly regarded artists that will have them or that are forced to work with them. Fascists want to look cool and well put together, so art is crucial to them. Meanwhile they will say art is not a real career and will hate art that doesn't support the latest narrative.

There's not a strict black and white on the fringes of their ideologies, it's more what they can use to increase power.

I learned them and basically never use vim.

I use sed if i need to change things with a pattern, cat the file if i need to see the contents, use head or tail if its too much to fit on the screen.

If I am writing code, I use a code editor. Emacs and vim can do a lot, but they can also fuck off.

Other languages behind reverse proxies from apache httpd or nginx do not have the same memory hit. You can still blame php. Not my fault they tied their language to the webserver in a way that uses tons of extra memory.

Easy example. Have they fixed file upload behavior yet? Do they store the entire file in memory by default instead of chunking it and storing it as it comes in?

If not it's like the worst memory usage of any language possible.

If you have to go change the php.ini to adjust file upload sizes, it's not really moving forward and is decades behind other languages.

In congested cities if you don't enter the intersection when its not completely clear then you'll have to wait ~40 minutes for a chance to go across. Waymo's riders have that as one of the biggest frustrations. Then theres a gridlock behind them.

There's no winning with cars.
