It’s a great way to regulate if you’re corrupt. When the rules are opaque and arbitrary, there’s a lot more room for corruption.

Different people need a different number of steps inbetween. I know for myself, I'll just end up disabling the battery saver mode.

> "[broaden the] participation of underrepresented groups". [1] As if seeking out the best of the best to collaborate with... was somehow undesirable.

Are those mutually exclusive? I know that's a common argument, but it doesn't track to me. Finding the diamonds in the rough in underrepresented groups is part of finding the best of the best to collaborate with.

I just gave mine its own VPS. Maybe more expensive than Nix but it was very easy

Wait... how could that have helped? It's a toxic material under pressure so why would we want to vent it further?

Ha, I built the exact same thing, except using ClickUp for all the task management.

Having agents on kanban is really a level-up in terms of what you can do and how you can organize.

I don't know about roofing, but for wall solar there is Solablock (https://www.solablock.com/), which makes solar-embedded masonry. Much better thermal profile and cheaper overall installation costs.

Haven’t used Windows in a while, but I remember hating the seemingly completely random “restarting in 5 minutes for a system update.” Usually at the least-opportune time

Linux friction is “unpredictable” but windows friction isn’t, because you have a lot of windows experience and not much in Linux. I don’t think you’d feel the same after a few months of Linux.

I was shocked that none of my cards worked for lots of stuff in the Netherlands. They also have their own system.

What claim? I didn't make any of that sort

New comment by aqme28 in "Grok 4.3"

aqme28 — Fri, 01 May 2026 10:39:54 +0000

I don't see how that changes my point at all.

edit: to clarify for you, here's an example.

Model A advocates for single-payer healthcare, while Model B prefers for the current US healthcare system. So on that one axis, A is more progressive than B. Neither of them needs to be racist for that calculation.

There is a lot of daylight in between “progressive” and “openly explicitly racist”

No reason to--no one will hit. You have much much much chance at guessing a random number that solves the next bitcoin block and mining the old fashioned way.

It's not that hard to get a temporary residence permit somewhere in the EU if you're well-employed. Every country has its own rules and some are more lax than others, but there are plenty of e.g. "tech worker" visas you can get. You often don't need a job to officially sponsor you.

I moved to Berlin a few years ago. Anecdotally, my friends and family back home are jealous.

Most remote jobs don't require you to keep the exact same hours, but rather to have some overlap. So it can effectively only feel like ~3h timezone difference.

Well then it’s a good thing my fake id is from a state or foreign government without a checkable database

Then those parents can turn off their browser/client’s age protections. I think that’s actually a decent argument for the solution posed by this thread.

Interesting to see "vibe" enshrined by the likes of Microsoft as an AI product word.
