If we get to the point of self-driving cars, it'd make sense that the car would refuse to drive if it's unsafe enough

I've stopped using bare env files on the repo, I'll create an env file that populates values from a secrets manager and check this file info git. Or throw the env file info a parent dir because they're probably user specific anyway.

Having an env file that needs to exist but isn't checked into source control creates "works on my machine" issues as well, just load them from the environment and provide a programmatic way of setting the environment (or stop pretending they're part of the project and use direnv/Mise to setup the env)

This is pretty cool and solves one of the problems I've had whilst playing around with things like Cursor: that it breaks my flow having to wait 5-10 minutes for it to generate code/documentation, I'd really like to use that time to focus on my main work whilst it does some grunt work. Worktrees looks like it might provide a solution to this

Anyone talking about society 20,000 years ago is bullshitting. We have no records for how these societies operated anything but a superficial level.

This is Jordan Peterson and Evelutionary Psychology levels of scientific rigor.

People are concerned about the hesitance he's had for actually doing anything. He campaigned saying he'd release the names, then has proceeded not to do so, tried to deflect and say it's a non-issue that people should forget about, that there were no other people involved beyond Maxwell and Epstein. For someone that claims to have nothing to hide, and was previously friends with Epstein (in itself not incriminating of course) he's doing a piss poor job of convincing people he wasn't involved in things with Epstein.

This shouldn't be a partisan issue, everyone who was involved should be prosecuted, the fact no progress has been made since 2019 is on both the Democrats and Republicans heads - any idiot can see there is a cover up going on, and the only reasonable explanation seems to be that both sides will be damaged in equal measure by the fallout - for all Trump's protestations of being outside the establishment, he sure does look and sound like an establishment guy

Would you trust it at this point though? The most likely explanation in my mind is that both Dems and Republicans are on the list, including DT. Dems didn't release it prior to the election because it'd blow back on them as well, and Trump thought he could get away with running on releasing it and then never actually doing it - which has now backfired. This whole thing stinks

I'm not convinced raising a whole living being that eats plants, and harvesting its skin is that much more energy efficient than just using a plant fibre

Whilst WhatsApp is still owned by meta and I'm sure the US military would have a lot use for the metadata they collect, let's be honest, I'm sure Putin would prefer if Russians switched to a platform they can spy on themselves

This is why I'm migrating all the servers I own to EU data centres owned by EU companies. It's insanely hard to get enterprises off the big 3 cloud providers, but for the smaller clients I support they don't know why difference and in the long run it ends up saving then money

Yes it is, it's essentially giving people with children extra votes to use.

Sure, but I want mature enough at 18 either. A lot of people aren't mature enough at 40 to fully comprehend what they're voting for. We don't enfranchise people with votes based on their level of knowledge though, we do it if they're considered active members of society - and 16 year olds are considered adults in a large amount of their day-to-day life

This is actually an iOS issue, their permissions aren't fine-grained enough so every photo app would need access to the whole photo library. The reason people don't notice this is because Apple Photos has access by default
