At my workplace, we use it for East-West traffic, especially the central Identity, Authentication and Authorization service which every other service needs to access, and it works great for that use case (Since it allows the downstream services to fetch information however they like). REST can do that too, but it will be cumbersome to say the least. Although GraphQL performance has come under scrutiny lately.

Wait, I thought gravity is not a “force” but the curvature of spacetime, so at some point the curvature gotta end or be disturbed by some other source nearby, right? A star so far away is not exerting any “force” on me as I already have two massive objects Earth and Sun twisting the spacetime around me so much. I could however be getting some gravitational waves from that star but not sure how strong they’d be or if they reach me at all (again given Sun and Earth).

(NOTE: I’m an engineer not a physicist so my understanding could all be wrong)

Yes that’s good advice. Thanks.

I did that knot in front of a shoe saleswoman and she commented she had never seen anyone do that before. Asked me to show her again how I did it.

I don’t think you ever took even economics 101 in school because for almost all products there exists a price where you can actually increase your profits by decreasing the price because the larger sales volume offsets the revenue lost. Applies to your fridge example as well. You just assumed the same sales in both scenarios which is not even close to being realistic. And your Nvidia/AMD example ignores the high inflation seen during that period.

Europe has fast ageing societies because our people live long and prosperous lives.

People living long & prosperous lives and having a young & growing population are not mutually exclusive. You can do both.

Got 6/10, for at least 2 pictures I looked at the outside corners of the eyes, if they match it’s likely AI, most real humans likely do not have symmetry there.

My favorite was the first Talos Principle, TP2 is also great, but the suspense in the story of 1 was so much I found it hard to put the game down (My Steam year in review shows I played it for 37 days straight). The puzzles in TP1 were also harder (TP2 had hard optional puzzles but the story was so long that I lost all will to do even 1 more puzzle by the game end, plus there’s no fast travel to those optional puzzles)

I didn’t like Titanfall 2 on the Steam Deck, the game is fine, but FPS games just dont work for me with joysticks.

Just finished the Talos Principle 2. Now installing Hades.

Holy shit the girl on the right, what are the names?

I am thinking of switching to Fedora with KDE, but stopped because of the window tiling manager in PopOS (I tried Bismuth, but it’s not the same). What do you use for window tiling?

I feel if I’m switching things often, even trying out a distro and going back to PopOS, ansible should save time in the long run. Plus, I can make my ansible yaml configs install software depending on the distro and package manager, right? I’m learning ansible as I go.

Do you know a good beginner friendly tutorial for NixOS, I could try it in a VM first.

I just want it to get to a usable state pretty quick on a new distro, and also to go back quickly to pop-os if I don’t like the new stuff. That’s why trying out ansible for this.

And are you so naive to think that Hamas, the dictator of Gaza since 2005, a terrorist organization, will allow anyone to honestly report from inside Gaza, and will not kill anyone who even attempts to report honestly from within Gaza? Why are you so sure of Israel killing journalists but can’t accept Palestinians killing journalists, when Palestinians are known to kill and torture each other? Read a book or two on the conflict, start with Son of Hamas…

Elixir is such a beautifully designed language, my favorite language BY FAR.

(I want an Elixir job too 🥹 )

Sometimes #6 happens right after I press enter asking my teammate for help on the issue. The universe humbles me like that every other day…

Fuck you YouTube/Google I’m gonna use an Firefox + ublock origin till death do us apart. If there’s no adblocker I’ll just quit the internet.
