Many people are weirdly helpless about computers. If you’ve ever tried to help someone with tech, you’ve probably encountered the
Kind of user.
Recently my lead hypothesis is that many people would rather personally suffer and die if it means that black people have it worse. I read “dying of whiteness” recently, and it’s haunting. “It’s socialism” is just a coded way of expressing that.
I tip generously at my local bar and in return they sometimes give me free stuff. Got a whole sandwich recently.
It also kind of sucks for labor, and most people labor.
Maybe you produce more good stuff and get paid the same. Feels bad.
More likely you produce more slop infused stuff, and you have the much less enjoyable task of fixing it. Cory doctorow wrote a whole metaphor about that with reverse centaurs.
Interesting. We used the free localstack at a previous job and it kind of sucked. Mostly we were trying to do S3, and it made adding a lot of files kind of painful. Looks like this has better support for “I need to load a bunch of files into S3 when I start working”.
Can you map a directory and subfolders to S3 with this, or so you need to make calls to “upload” everything?
I remember one time at a party, in my early 30s, some guy pops out “isn’t love just a social construct?”. Looked at him for a moment and said, “ok, I guess. And so?” but he didn’t have anywhere to go with it.
It was memorable because we were all like whole ass adults, but he still came off as a 13 year old the whole time.
Huh. I did not know this. It might make it a little easier to navigate! It’d still be a lot of options spread out in a weird way, but a filter could help.
There’s still going to be an opportunity cost. You can build massive renewable sources, but powering a data center with it is a shit use compared to other things.
A friend of mine at least once ordered delivery from the Mexican place that was directly below her apartment. She said the delivery guy was a little confused. She had a lot of depression at the time.
Oh that reminds me of when I was like 4, one of the neighborhood kids convinced a bunch of the other kids to eat some of those cicada exoskeletons they leave on trees. I did not, but I’m pretty sure some of the other kids did.
Capitalism is incompatible with democracy. Fuck these ghouls.
It’s things like this that make people say Luigi is a saint. There are people just clearly doing awful things with immunity, and there’s no lawful mechanisms to deal with it.
So… How do we remove this guy from office?
It’s interesting when you get a mix of your sort of person and the other “let’s go out for drinks” together in the same office. One workplace most of us would go out for drinks and karaoke, or hang out for board games, but there was always one guy who was like “nah thanks”. Still friends with one guy from that group. The one that never came around, no idea what he’s up to. He’s probably happy that way.
Also trying to claim “they’re not employees if US. They’re contractors” should mean you forfeit all your wealth and get banned from leadership positions for life.
I’d like to see more spaces converted into like “15 minute loading/unloading”. There’s a lot of double parking that’s just people trying to do something quick.
I think it was on coney Island avenue the other day that the whole right lane was taken up by people double parking. That’s absurd. Not sure why so many people needed to drive someplace so close to several subways and bus stops, but there’s a lot of ways to discourage that space.
Conservatives don’t say things because they’re true. They say things because they think it will get them what they want.
Right. For someone in an unstable environment, having a good now is a better choice since it probably won’t be there later.
I do wonder what you’d find if you controlled for wealth and stability. I feel like some people have really poor impulse control and delayed gratification despite coming from a stable home life
I remember this joke from three panel soul in 2007 https://www.threepanelsoul.com/comic/on-man-law
Get rid of privately owned cars and you might be on to something. If the state owned a fleet of self driving cars you could rent at the car library, that would probably be better than everyone having their own car they park somewhere most of the time.
Building walkable living spaces with mass transit would be better for more people environmentally, economically, health-wise, socially…
