The “Ancillary” series, for sure.

An ultimatum says “you must do X or else I will do Y”

A boundary says “you must refrain from X or else I will do Y”.

I'm running firefox and seeing the normal amount.

The ongoing refusal to answer questions under oath is.

He could have agreed to talk anytime and been released shortly.

To charge him with defrauding investors requires a whole different group of people to get involved.

Additionally, those people need enough evidence to have a chance of conviction. "He refused to answer questions about it" is not actually evidence.

They ship with an existing library of components, you drag and drop them onto a blank canvas, move them around, live preview how they’ll change at different screen sizes, etc… then switch to the code to wire up all the event handlers etc.

All the iteration on design happens before you start compiling, let alone running.

In AWS, it's straightforward to say e.g. "permit traffic on port X from instances holding IAM role Y".

You can easily e.g. get the firewall rules for all your ec2 instances in a structured format.

I really would not look forward to building something even 1/10th as functional as that.

Before I drop 5 figures on a single server, I'd like to have some confidence in the performance numbers I'm likely to see. I'd expect folk who are experienced with on-prem have a good intuition about this - after a decade of cloud-only work, I don't.

Also, cloud networking offers a bunch of really nice primitives which I'm not clear how I'd replicate on-prem.

I've estimated our IT workload would roughly double if we were to add physically racking machines, replacing failed disks, monitoring backups/SMART errors etc. That's... not cheap in staff time.

Moving things on-prem starts making financial sense around the point your cloud bills hit the cost of one engineers salary.

Imported all my past mail on day one, forwarding meant I had one inbox only, and I only sent mail from the new domain. A few gentle “please stop using my old address” conversations with family.

It automatically shuts off after 30 seconds of inactivity.

I added a $3 webcam, and use openCV to detect motion. If three consecutive frames (sampled 0.5s apart) are each sufficiently difficult from the previous one, it attaches a virtual USB mouse, then moves it one pixel.

This wakes up the display whenever you walk past, then puts it back to sleep again when you stop moving.

The motion-detection pipeline uses less than 0.3% CPU on an intel N100 (6w TDP).

Definitely recommend starting new codebases with it enabled everywhere.

What injection attack gets through SQL parameterization?

If you must generate nonsense with an LLM, at least proofread it before posting.
