I don't get this part

Nuuk concluded that ordering the containers removed “would not be proportionate,” leaving the government to choose between licensing drilling in an area that may fall under wetlands protection or refusing and risking handing Trump an opening to press his claim harder.

Why would it not be proportionate, given that they lied about having a license?

Everyone has their opinions and circumstances, but anecdotally my time with children has been some of the happiest.

I didn't see it mentioned here, but rclone has a Google Photos backend, that will allow you to pull everything.

They dream of reviving McCarthyism

Funnily, due to this, i often find an open source app that is way better than whatever annoyed me.

Just today i used an Adobe product that got me raging. Within minutes i installed an oss equivalent that was a joy to use in comparison.

It's an interesting trend.

Reportedly they are already attacking Kherson and elsewhere.

The tee program is also very useful!

Although Roblox is very far from my taste in games, I wanted to join my kids in a few multiplayer games, and was very happy to find out Sober exists. It worked like a charm.

I know you asked about VMs, but fwiw there are GPU-capable containers now: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html

Used one of these and the setup is as easy as it sounds. It can run Houdini, Stable Diffusion.

I agree, every program should be built this way. It also speeds up development early on, and makes it easier to have multiple front ends.

I agree in principle, but shit happens, e.g. scheduling conflicts. In smaller organizations, sometimes it's the only way to unblock the team.

Anyway, I could think of also checking out my personal servers.

Haha reminded me of this

Same here, SMB was significantly slower in our organization than NFS.

Scary, there is a real danger for Bulgaria to go the same route, after brain drain rate at least reversed in the last years. Here's to hoping

Great article. The move back to more web standard-focused work has been a joy. I just used the <dialog> element, awesome. Vanilla JavaScript has improved with new APIs. WebComponents are nice, though they are more focused on creating elements on the fly.

With all this there has been an increasing appreciation of static pages - a large share of the web simply does not need backend logic at all. This makes development and deployment trivial, with superb ux performance.

React is an impressive piece of technology, and has its use cases, but as the article states "do not throw away the baby with the bath water."

The only constant is movement.

As others said, in-depth design is often skipped, especially if the dev team started very small. Sounds like your intuition is right, though - the lack of design bit them on the ass when they realized they missed a part.

I have also been laughed at when I suggested a UML diagram in the past. However, it is helpful. For more visually oriented people even more so.

I'd suggest to go ahead and do it, unless your boss is adamant that it is a waste of time. When they see the result they might be happy.

+1 for Pocketbook

Never had any issues with it whatsoever.

The device works great with Calibre.

There is some other functionality that I did not use.

Just wanna add, this "IT in a small company" can be the nicest environment. I was lucky to land one like this some years ago. (company went under since, in part due to AI)

Funny that you mention Pandemic, we finally got around to playing it with the kids, and it was great. They are just entering the age where they get it.

So far only played the simplified rules, none of the Legacy parts, and beat the game for the first time.

Ditto on the usefulness and commonality of these skills. But we still need firemen, delivery workers. Lots of professions do benefit from this, maybe also sports.

Moving them too much into the "disease" category doesn't do it service. It'd be better to teach ways to manage it.
