I even managed to make that part of the workflow on one team I worked with but several other teams since thought it was a crazy idea. :)

It does make sense that the right way would be to fork every dependency you use and install from your own repo reviewing and merging from upstream as needed. Would be a giant PITA though. :)

For example you don’t get to see TCP headers with Node out of the box and you can’t craft packets, whereas you can in Python.

Python is easier to interface with C/C++ libs.

Now if .NET was still not so embedded in the Windows ecosystem that would be very interesting to me to jump from TS. As it is I am learning Go instead.

Knowing something is different to reading about something, or hearing something from someone. And yet this is often confused as knowledge. In this way are we all that different from AI - we have some data and we regurgitate it as knowledge. Bad data, wrong answer. Except humans can also throw in some emotion to really muddle things up. :)

My only challenge is controlling the gassiness - it’s so vigorous that the moment I even slightly open the cap the whole thing fizzes up like crazy - opening it normally would result in a kvass fountain shooting up like 30cm. :)

I wish the touristy places in the UK were as clean though.

Also, writing this comment on a crowded, dirty and smelly train from Gatwick Airport, which has 2 carriages inaccessible because of broken doors and crawling due to signal failure on the line, I already miss the clean and comfortable Chinese trains I was taking from place to place.

That said I do get to work 945 here for more money so I am grateful for this for sure. :)

And this is also bearing in mind that I complicate my setup a bit by running the different sites in docker containers with Caddy acting as a proxy.

With storage volumes for data and a few Bash scripts the whole server becomes throw-away that can be rebuilt in minutes if I really need to go there.

And for sure any difficulty and ops overhead pales in comparison to having to manage tooling and dependencies for a typical simple JS web-app. :)

> Analysts concluded that 23 sailors survived the initial blasts and took refuge in the small ninth compartment at the rear of the submarine.

> Evidence suggests they remained alive for more than six hours. When oxygen grew scarce, they attempted to replace a potassium superoxide chemical oxygen cartridge, but it fell into the oily seawater pooling on the floor and exploded on contact.

> The resulting fire killed several crew members and triggered a flash fire that consumed what remained of the oxygen, asphyxiating the last survivors.

That does not suggest a possibility of a foreign rescue vessel making it there in time.

“The underlying causes of the increased costs are, among others, the exploding demand for AI-related computing power and for cloud services. In addition, raw material prices and production costs have also generally risen for manufacturers. The costs for RAM and SSDs especially have risen by a large amount. For example, the cost for DRAM memory has increased up to 500% since September 2025. And according to market researchers like TrendForce, this price trend will continue throughout the year.”
