Does it? This isn’t a scientific journal, nor is this a hard science forum. So the expectations that a layman conform to the standards of a field to have a conversation about a fairly esoteric subject is asinine.

I can’t know the top science in every field, so that bars me from discussion, lest I be slammed for having a thought.

This isn’t just anti-science, it’s ignorant of social interactions, and the conversations that lead to greater understanding. You aren’t nearly as smart as you think you are.

Is that only for the App Store? I'm not seeing that traffic.

I live in a rural area, city under 40k. We don't have amazing internet.

This isn't my experience at all. I'm feeling fortunate that we don't use the same stack. ;)

My M1 Mac blows away my 3 year old desktop outside or raw graphics output due to the desktop having a 1080. It's such a massive power leap, it's difficult for me to believe that you bought a M1 Mac. I suspect you have hardware, or PEBKAK issues.

I mean, you can do that now. So, yes, but not because of this.

It's hard to call it immoral when it's free and it's easily compilable. I'm a commie, so very critical of corporations. But, of all the immoral actions in Silicon Valley, this isn't one of them.

Choose the appropriate tools for the job. I hate these idiotic posts that examine a sliver of a domain and think they have the answers to all of programming. It’s just naïveté on display, and this site eats it up.

Apply a negative charge to the panels?

I do on my laptop Dev environments, but I do understand your point, it’s not a use case any but resource constrained devs do.

Could be worse. I’m the whole team in my provincial government for the dev work for most of the forms for our government. Be careful what you wish for.

Yea, I’ve wiped out an entire government’s form library once. Backups are a career saver.

"Battle tested" typically means that the code has been running for a long time, bugs found, bugs squashed, and a stability has been attained for a long time. It's usage predates the "information wars", back when we really didn't think about security that much because nothing was connected to anything else that went outside the companies, so there were no hackers or security battles back then. So I suspect this is the authors frame of reference.

We understand. What are we supposed to do, sell our houses and move to a condo downtown? Whose going to buy them, and where the fuck are we going to get the resources to house that many people without a massive energy/resource exploitation. So "no cars" is childish and naive.

Awareness isn't the issue, but awareness of an issue we have no control over does nothing of value to anyone other than add anxiety.

This is even worse thought out, and really demonstrates a real lack of understanding of how the world works. Oh how humans work. You're one of us, and equally complicit as any human live today. So, maybe, rather than being this unearned smugness, you come up with an answer. Any idiot can identify the challenges, and shit on something.

Las Vegas exists, as do many other desert cities. So, this point makes no sense. Humans, harness the physics of the world around us, to shape our futures.

The problem isn't cars, it's capitalism.

This isn't very well thought out, where do you live?

Unless they changed something significant since I used it last, the puppet language is Ruby. They didn't get rid of loops, they used functional iteration (recursion) so you don't have side effects; it's declarative. Ansible uses YAML to do the same, and it's really the only way I'm aware to get idempotent results.

Your last sentence is true only for the most trivial of deployments, at which point, why are you using deployment automation in the first place, because it's a huge tech cost to invest in. If your deployments are that simple, why ass complexity by using a deployment automation and not just do a bin dump?

While I don't experience any euphoria, I agree that intermittent fasting doesn't affect my mood negatively. After the first few weeks, you don't even think about it anymore. And being able to go out, eat a normal meal at a restaurant without worrying about math, or 'cheating on a diet', is pretty positive mentally when you can still fit into a size 6 dress.

Pick up some Vim skills, your future self will thank you. Vim bindings are available in every editor worth using. You’ll never touch your arrows again.

Definitely, I eat a single meal at night, and I don't get hungry until about an hour before super. No hunger pangs or anything, it only takes a few weeks to condition the body.

I mean, Windows ran on DOS for a decade, so I'm not really seeing this one.
