because they maintain the websites for social status, if the user never sees the specific website or knows they used it, you can't gain any social status

if you're a beginner thats going to be very difficult, restoring the git dir a few times makes the learning process much faster, till it all clicks and you don't need too anymore

you can just make a backup copy of .git or your entire project dir. When you get lost, just delete your .git, copy from the backup and try again

if i had to guess: people are afraid to use new tools and the initial reduction in productivity and don't know what the acceptable $ usage is limiting their growth/self-education and exploration of an entire new way of working.

basically its a green light to use all the time and resources they want to explore and learn

you're describing proprietary software with a full support contract.

the point of free software(tm) is gaining benefit from cooperation and community, and nobody is obligated to do anything.

In the actions overview, just the spinner icon (svg w/ css animation) takes 25-40% cpu and 10% gpu in my chrome. Enough to keep my fingers very warm on the laptop

selckin — Fri, 25 Nov 2022 16:48:07 +0000

well can't create an instance without having quota available

and low quota is low, like 10 cpu, so start a 2 node k8s cluster with 8cpu each? nope, go request quota increase

selckin — Fri, 25 Nov 2022 16:43:48 +0000

no, they have very low quotas by default, and you have to request increases through the portal, which then get rejected and you click the button to contact support/email and then you sometimes have to negotiate with them

you have to do this for every single instance type they have, can't even experiment or test other instance types cause its too much trouble to get quota
