@pippin This is worse than so much worse than saddening. This is like the Vatican proscribing books, book burning and the severe forms of state censorship that the USA used to deplore and *said* it would go to war to prevent.
(This message has been edited to correct the last sentence, which said that the USA would go to war to defend censorship, however accurate that might be now, the sentence was written with a historical perspective.)

I can count on one hand the number of my clients over the past couple of years who haven't either over-architected for scale or were unnecessarily concerned about it (prior to coming to me for strategic advice, of course 😉).
You don't need to understand Distributional Little's Law to figure this out, it's obvious with primary school level math.

We don’t talk a lot in public about the big vision for Tailscale, why we’re really here. Usually I prefer to focus on what exists right now, and what we’re going to do in the next few months.tailscale.com
In nz, "tough on crime" means cracking down on youths robbing corner food stores, by sending these children to military training camps, and hiding gang patches.
It doesn't mean being tough on domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault. It doesn't mean crackdown on wage theft by employers, violence by racists, male supremacist and gun violence, terrorism targeting minorities or men harming their former partners.
It's only targeting those that scare financially comfy conservative adults.
Serious question to people born on 1970-01-01: Did you ever encounter weird IT related issues due to your dob?
Sharing encouraged, because I'm genuinely curious
“OpenAI could be on the brink of bankruptcy in under 12 months, with projections of $5 billion in losses.”

so this app has been long for a good decade -
the Asus Surf 4G (and many other netbooks) use interesting resolutions like 800x480, and do not offer normal 4:3 resolutions like 640x480 via their winXP display driver
that means games like Thief or Doom 3 or Half-Life won't fit on the screen in windowed or full screen modes
this is where Netbook Resolution Customizer comes in. it lets you set custom resolutions so older win9x games can use the resolutions they expect
dredged this application out of a bunch of old EeePC forums that went defunct 10 years ago, and uploaded to IA:

“when neurodivergent people mask their natural tendencies to fit in with neurotypical people or get through a situation, it requires more effort than it would for someone without autism or ADHD”

If you’re on mental health TikTok, you’ve probably come across "masking." Here’s what it means and the mental health consequences.Wondermind
I really like theses results:
"Recent findings show adult New Zealanders who do not speak te reo Māori (the Māori language, the indigenous language of New Zealand) nonetheless have impressive implicit lexical and phonotactic knowledge of the language. (…)
Our results show that ambient exposure leads to implicit knowledge both in childhood and adulthood, and that continuing exposure throughout the lifespan leads to increased knowledge."

#mountains fascinate me, especially the #alps. I just get all relaxed and happy when I'm walking around. The ruggedness and the feeling of being the first person walking there is what gets to me. Also the history of the places. These mountains have been there for so long, and there has happend so much. Just imagining what it must have been for the pre-historic people to walk, hunt and live there is awesome.

(scene: the USB implementers forum. the room is dark and full of smoke. the industry representitives are lit from below, their faces hidden)
"OK folks! Now it's time to write the spec for USB C extension cables and USB C to A adapters. Thoughts?"
"What if we just don't standardise those? We just say in the spec that they're disallowed."
"But extension cables are pretty essential, sometimes there's no alternative. People are going to make them whether they're allowed by the spec or not. So won't every company that makes one do it a bit differently, and they'll all be broken in slightly different ways?"
"Yes, exactly."
"Great, done. What's next?"
re-upping this one again
so many forms of writing are rendered nearly useless if they have no info on *when* they were written
