Mainly I just don't see the point in upgrading when my existing device (currently) works perfectly fine. It's less about cost and more about waste, and good old fashioned stubbornness. Most of my books are physical; I mainly use the Kindle for reading free ebooks (like those from Standard Ebooks) or I will occasionally buy an ebook when ordering physically is impractical for whatever reason. So any slight annoyances that come from using an old device don't really bother me.

Well the government didn't ban it yet. the Ministry is in consultation with the other governments to find a good way to regulate the sector.

I think every country wants to track the inflow and outflow of money.Once they have some mechanism either through CBDC or KYCed wallets I feel the sector will just boom like any other software company.

Usually what I do is search for interesting topics + "lecture". I have found that a good speaker that knows his subject trumps documentary-style videos. Also very pleasant to listen to while doing other things, there is no assumption that you need to see something at the same time (although sometimes there are slide decks too). And usually I make a bookmark or a note of the channels I end up enjoying this way, they use to have more content of the same kind.

You have given more of your attention to letting everyone know you don't care about dead people because that's life than I have to worrying about COVID, with the added bonus that your position comes off as sociopathic and mine doesn't.

Just to give my personal exposure here, my wife had a stroke during the omicron surge and when the hospital wheeled her away on a gurney to get an emergency thrombectomy, making it clear she had a decent chance of just dying on the table, I could not be with her because the COVID burden in the hospital was too high. After she survived the operation she was admitted to a ward full of 80 year olds. Later that night she had a stroke recurrence and the way I found out is that she didn't reply to my text messages for half an hour. My wife is 35, healthy, yoga, biking, hiking, and she had a stroke on our anniversary. We're in the middle of trying for kids. She lived, but it could easily have been the other way.

One response to this is "the problem here is the COVID restrictions, the hospital should have just let infection disease spread, hospitals have never tried to stop infectious disease before, stop treating COVID as anything special" but another response to this is that the medical system has been more or less in perpetual crisis mode this entire time because of the underlying infectious disease burden that you described as "just another of many diseases". And I believe that the infectious disease specialists are better able to gauge the actual risk to their patients than a SV devops guru.

When we got COVID it was two days of fever and a week of fatigue, worse than a cold, better than influenza. Do you understand how it's possible to be impacted by COVID even if like us, you are at little risk from COVID?

Again, I am not calling for any restrictions, any lockdowns, any infringements on your freedom, or any reaction beyond simply a sombre acknowledgement that a lot of people have died, there's a lot of pain, the deaths continue, there remains a huge burden on our society because of the effects of this disease, and we gain nothing from being glib or pretending the people who died don't matter. You have the capacity for empathy, but you need to use it.

> My share of energy consumption is completly covered by renewables.

Only if you

a) Pretend that the electricity you get doesn't come from the same grid as everyone else's, where the input to that grid is a mixture of renewable and non-renewable energy, and

b) Don't look too hard at how many others make that same boast: Being "green" is "in", so lots of people's consumption "is completly covered by renewables"... Perhaps a larger proportion of electricity consumers than he proportion of electricity actually generated by renewables?

I mean, if you can happily -- and unthinkingly -- echo the empty promise on your electricity bill, so can everyone else.

Your claim is point-less.
People can have preferences, I deeply respect that.

On the other hand, I put my code out there (anywhere), and people are free to decide whether they contribute to it or not.

This is the platform I use, and this what the platform provides. If they want to contribute, and don't prefer the mail flow, they can reach me, and we can discuss it.

This is a two way street. Nobody is forced to contribute to anything, and I have no obligation to use services which people prefer. No?
You might've forgotten to reference LINQ and Collections.Generic in your project? Because C# definitely has good collection APIs that influenced many languages including Java Streams.
That's certainly not the reason most people I know would typically object to imagery of females where the entire focus is on their outward appearance, which is usually some exaggeration of a fantasy "ideal" that a tiny percentage of real women would actually match. But I'll admit I personally find it offensive because of the implied assumption that most guys it's targeted at aren't able to judge women on any other criteria.
It's not like I don't believe that. But I am interested in any data taking salaries and qualification/experience into account. Local costs of living are certainly important for the employees, but not so much for the employer (assuming that they impact the salaries level to some degree).

Even though the latter is probably still an approximation to the actual skills level of a developer.

Using a permissive license that allows multi-billion dollar companies to use your code for free certainly doesn't help changing the mind set of "open source is other people working for me for free".

Maybe we need an ICE-Express (I know what ICE stands for). An ICE shouldn't have to stop in every city, that's what ICs and and regional rail is for. It gets ridiculous on lines through the Rhine-Ruhr area, all very large cities that on their own merit an ICE stop, but they're spaced five minutes apart. There is definitely a need for real high speed rail, Hamburg to Munich in less than 3h should be possible, it takes around 6-7h now.
Related to this, I remember one of the greatest living Italian jazzist, Paolo Conte [0], recently mentioning in an interview that Jazz is the most important artistic innovation of the 20th century. (his music is deep into the "900", as we call it in Italy, and he was born in the late thirties nearby Turin (Asti) so he lived most of his life in that century).

I was surprised to even consider Jazz as THE most important artistic innovation (I can think of a few more, e.g. Modernism, or "The Greatest Artistic Breakthroughs of the Twentieth Century" [1]), but in a way, I can give the theory some credit.

Before the IRA were engaged in armed conflict, Catholics in Northern Ireland were treated like shit by the British government, police and local authorities. They were denied jobs and housing, the latter basically denying them a vote (see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_man,_one_vote). After a civil rights movement emerged, the UVF were formed in 1966 by an ex British soldier (Gusty Spencer) and it's ranks were full of soldiers and police. They petrol bombed Catholic homes, schools and businesses. They shot Catholic civilians dead in the streets. Peaceful protests by Catholics were attacked by gangs which included off-duty police. After one march in Derry the police went on a rampage, attacking Catholic homes. Police beat Catholics to death (Samuel Devenny (42) and two of his daughters were beaten in their homes - he died from his injuries. Frances McCloskey (67) was beaten by police during a protest and died of his injuries). In response, the Bogside area went into lock-down, declaring themselves a no-go area for police. Police and loyalists attacked the residents with CS gas, water cannon and armoured vehicles. The Irish government called for a UN peacekeeping force to intervene. What actually happened was that the British army went in. Initially welcomed by the Catholics, they turned out to be even worse than the police: in a single event 745 People were injured (154 with gunshot wounds) and a 9 year old was killed. Hundreds of homes were demolished or badly damaged. The Irish government set up refugee camps South of the border. All of this before the IRA had started their bombing campaigns.

I don't agree with what the IRA did. Never have. But come on. "I don't recall the British bombing blah blah blah". Selective memory.

The problem is when one side constantly votes in a party controlled by the terrorist group. Sinn Fein is the Provisional IRA, and proud of it.

And this same party heaps endless praise on those who ordered and orchestrated sectarian murder of the other side.

There are alternative nationalist parties with no such bad blood, but they are never first choice from the other community, it seems.

It is regretful but the message is understood.
> does not apply to my non greenwashed contract. 100% green energy and a coop investing heavily in more capacity.

So you're connected directly to a co-op's green power plant; neither your house nor that power plant are on the national grid where your "100% green energy" gets mixed up with all the other -- non-green -- electricity being produced nationwide?
1.38GW is insane. The APR-1400 pressurized water reactor outputs 1.4GW, but at this point you would have a huge nuclear power plant to just power a single tunneling operation.

You might be best served by some platform-as-a-service (Heroku, platform.sh, Netlify, ...) than by a cluster offering.

PaaS are pretty much turnkey for many apps, and cost mostly scales with the actual usage which tends to fit well small companies.

They completely hide infra management from you, deployment can be entirely automated through Git with no SSH or Docker registry management, and they provide access to what you listed: config/secrets, logs.
I like the inbuilt parity as you don't have to hold on to another set of files.

You only need to look at a German rail road crossing to immediately see they are either extremely lazy or completely incompetent. The bars close, then there’s a 5 minutes wait, then a tiny train passes at about 75km/h, then they open. If there is a station next to the crossing, the bars close before the train is even at the station and remain closed while the train is stopped.

If the track would be used at anywhere near capacity the crossing would simply never open.
My personal theory on this is that we have multiple generations of people raised in an urban environment who have by now no awareness or exposure to what 'normal' darkness should be.

In fact, I would even go as far as saying that there are a lot of adults who are physically afraid of the dark. We will rationalize this away with concerns for crime/safety, but it is a very primal fear of not seeing who/what is out there. Our eyes absolutely can (to a degree) adjust to darkness.

Also a proper night sky experience is something I think could really bond us all together.

All public transit in Luxembourg is free, and they are investing in more buses and trains at a pretty fast rate.

Alternatively a country could stop subsidizing cars. It’s weird that people complain about investment in trains but fail to realize roads are extremely expensive too and gas taxes don’t come close to covering costs.

There’s virtually no free parking in Japanese city centres and all highways there are tolled. For one person the tolls are similar to high speed train fare, and it’s a no brainer to travel by train instead of car for most destinations.
Rider is free for students and that is how I started using it.

Also, VS Code with OmniSharp isn't that bad for smaller projects for development and is pretty good for debugging for apps of all sizes (my 2 year experience with it).

So to claim that you cannot debug C# on Linux for free is false.
There is something very wrong going on in Germany AND France where, despite the nice speeches, investment in railway infrastructure is being run into the ground. If nothing changes, expect disaster-level quality of service within a 5 years time.

I've already replaced dimmers to work with LEDs. But changing all fixtures would be way too expensive, it'd then be cheaper to just stick with Halogen. And I don't need any "smart" features, an LED that can be dimmed via an external dimmer would be enough. But they're harder to find than all these "smart" devices that might stop working after a few years and can send data to who-knows-who.

> Nuclear capacity curtailed due to a heat wave? That's a failure mode I'd not heard of.

It's not a new problem [0], it's become somewhat of a regular issue in parts of Europe during summer heatwaves [1]. As the heatwaves will become worse, and the water scarcer, this will become an even more regular issue.

France is currently affected particularly badly because a big chunk of their reactor fleet is also going trough long-overdue maintenance.

I'm using Linux for 20 years, and witnessing what Microsoft is doing for more than 25. Being openly hostile towards Linux and plotting ways to lock it out of hardware platforms and tech ecosystems is enough of a motivation for me.

It's not only their stance against Linux only, but everything competing with them.

I believe hardware and software should be open and platforms shall compete openly. I don't use any vendor which openly kills this interoperability and try to corner market with underhanded tactics.

It's not limited to Microsoft, though. I use Java because there's OpenJDK, Go because there's gcc-go toolchain, etc. Similarly I don't use Rust because it's LLVM only for now.

However, this doesn't mean that I want these to disappear. I want them to compete fairly, so we can improve. I'm not a web-dev so I have no need for this frameworks, but I'd make similar choices if I enter to that arena, too.

Look up to dusted's comment, which I'll copy here:

"you can in fact work in a silo and function very well in a team at the same point. As long as you never tell anyone that matter that you do this.. You update your status, you help stuck team mates and you tell your part at the standup."

I was pointing out that someone who is doing exactly what dusted wrote should be done, is not in a silo.

Your disagreement with dusted about the appropriateness of a standup is a tangent I am not able to participate in, having been in roughly 5 standups in my programming career.
I use sourcehut for a few projects, and I love the build system. I don't have extensive experience with build systems, but I've explored a handful. What I love about sourcehut's build system is that for the most part it's just straight up scripts/commands. If I can do it in Linux, then I should be able to get it going without difficulty via sourcehut builds. As a result, there's also not much about it to learn. Most of it uses my existing knowledge of Linux and surrounding tools.

The git-by-email setup is more inconvenient. I haven't found an email setup I'm comfortable with. I also haven't tried a lot, but with a pull request system like github there's not really anything to try.

Overall quite happy with sourcehut for my needs.
If we all were just workers, it could work. In practice, I see lot of the high-level ideas/strategizing people starting new projects without finishing the old ones. They never bother with details required to finish or complete something. Starting and not completing is fundamental to labor division in capitalism, for better or worse. Without it, there would be less labor extraction.
